I brought it to taste Google Pixel as I always wanted it since Google Nexus in 2015. But, gosh, I did it in 2023. I replaced my Samsung A52s with this pixel and I hope not to be disappointed by Google.What I don’t like, though, is the fact that Google doesn’t turn available VPN and YouTube TV, as benefits with this Pixel Phones, to African countries which is an injustice as the phone is available for shipping to here. Why not complete services that comes with it? That’s the second downside of Google for this phone, beside the poor battery life that doesn’t even last 12 hours, if not half of that.Overall, that’s a very good phone.

This is a solid phone however I experienced bad battery life, needing to charge halfway through the day. Even after adjusting background tasks, dark mode, notifications, etc, still no better. Ended up returning to Apple and going with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for the bigger battery. So far I’ve had more than 30 hours on a charge with Samsung with all my same applications.

I can’t express how pleased I am with the Google Pixel 7a. It has been a seamless transition from my previous Pixel 5, and I couldn’t be happier. The size of the Pixel 7a is just perfect for me, and transferring all my files and applications was a breeze, taking only around 10 minutes. Plus, having the ability to use both a physical SIM and an eSIM is such a convenient feature that I truly appreciate. Thank you, Google, for creating another incredible phone!

This is a great smartphone for the money. I rated the battery life at a 4 because it barely makes it through the day if I am using it a significant amount – I think my Pixel 4a was better. The fingerprint reader is excellent, much better than my old Galaxy. The camera takes great pics with the included app, and the magic eraser is a really nice option. I’m still working out how the cloud picture storage works and how to download the pics to the phone when I want to, but that is my problem, though google could make that a little more intuitive.

Impressed by the quality of pictures, phone has very nice features, charge is a bit slow specially when you’re in a hurry and feels a bit heavy compared to my previous OnePlus but overall i like it. Finger print reader though is terrible, works 1 out of every 3 reads, gotta push hard to make sure it reads the entire finger, tried everything even registering my prints in complete darkness, cleaning the screen, fully washing my hands. It’s just bad.

Runs GrapheneOS perfectly. It’s fast, powerful, and the camera is the best I’ve ever used in a mobile phone. My only complaint is the battery life. It’ll get me through a day of moderate use but the battery in my Pixel 5a lasted a lot longer.

First of all Pixel has a very good camera and the night mode is too good. Obviously do not expect it to be as good as an Iphone. But to my point , we own a pixel 7 and 7a ,paid may be a total of 800$ for both which is still less than a 1000$+ phones. This gives you all what you need. The magic eraser is another cool feature. So i would say great buy

This has to be my worthwhile upgrade in a while from my google pixel 4A to the 7A!Face ID: What I like about this phone that I didn’t have with my Google pixel 4A was the face ID which I was able to unlock my phone when I don’t need fingerprint scanner to unlock it.Fingerprint ID: The fingerprint scanner can be meh at sometimes, for better accuracy of the scan of the fingerprint is to do it two times with the same finger.Performance: Moving to the Google pixel 7A I noticed my performance compared to the Google pixel 4A that my games were faster compared to the 4A.Transferring: I didn’t have a problem with transferring my things as I only needed a USB type-c cable to the both ends of my two phones.Afterthought, this phone is great for an upgrade. If you’re new to the pixel market of phones, this will have to be worthwhile, upgrade or buy! As I’m enjoying using this phone, you might like it or not. But with the extended warranty a prefer you get it from the Google store. :)————Pro:- A face ID scanner but inferior to the previous models.- Screen little bigger than my Google pixel 4A (no 5g variant)- a little improvements of the camera but not much then my previous Google pixel phone.- the performance is improved a little compared to my previous phone listed in the title.Cons:- The fingerprint scanner, isn’t an improvement but it still works. You have to do the fingerprint on the same hand a couple of times. Two better accurate the finger. I still prefer it to be to the back of the phone.- I tried the wireless charging with both of my wireless chargers from my Samsung wireless charger and a other charger and charges very slow, but I didn’t test it on a type c version of the wireless charger I’ll let somebody else be a tester of that. 😉

I’ve owned the Pixel XL, Pixel 4XL and Nexus 6P. All were google phones and all exceeded my expectations. I was hoping that would be the case with 7a.Pros1) The camera is excellent. It blows my Galaxy S23plus out of the water. In almost any environment, it gets a great picture 95% of the time.2) The software is excellent. AI, Call screening, basic PIM, Voice to text and more are A+. Android is refined and a pleasure to use.3) I found the size to be perfect. Having used regular and plus size phones, the 7a is a welcome change. It fits into my pocket and is comfortable to type on.4) The screen is great. Even compared to higher end oled panels, this is crystal clear and bright. The 90hz refresh allows the phone to fly through tasks.Cons1) The battery life is just not good. I had no issue with charging. I use a wireless charger for overnight refills and it was fine. Plug-in speed for a budget phone is very very good. The problem is the battery life itself. Even with no use and working close to a wifi router, the phone noticelably drains. Using it for checking whatsapp, podcast listening (through bluetooth with the screen off), web browsing and superlight gaming (Wordle) results in noticable battery reduction. I don’t expect much of a battery when you do a lot of photography and GPS usage. But I mostly use it for light tasks, if at all. I’m below 55% in the late afternoon, even when I barely touch the phone. On weekends, if I use the phone for pictures and phone calls, it drains fast and I have to charge it. I thought this would stop after a few days, but it hasn’t.2) The software does have some bugs. I still use the back/home/multi button set up. The home soft button stops working in the middle of the day sometimes and needs a soft reset. The fingerprint software cannot complete the set up on my phone. I gave up after a few resets.I am a google fan and wanted to keep the phone. Google has to get the battery life to make it through a day. There’s no point to good software if you’re concerned you’ll run out of power before you can recharge.

This phone took a little time to get used to as allnew phones’ features are better and work differentlyfrom what I was used to with my 5-year-old LG phone.All was better with the Pixel 7a. Better camera, much betterstorage, FAST operations (5G), more features, quick recharge and Ihave yet to discover even more.Best of all was the great price on Amazon! This camera was recommendedby Consumer Reports as a great value for a really great phone.
