    The Pixel 7a is insanely good value for money! Definitely a worthy choice for 2023 up until the Pixel 8a comes along next year.
    Here's my 3 Month update!

    A real winner of a phone. 6.1" screen is perfect, and it's so nicely fits in your hand. Camera is incredibly smart. Android interface is very customizable. battery lasts for me 36 hours- I am a light to medium user. Glad I got it!

    • @13galaxy

      have to agree with you here. personally, at the start it felt a little big for me, but I quickly adjusted to the size and it's perfect now. great choice!

    I picked up my Pixel 6a in PERFECT condition off of Ebay for $100. Was using an s22 which is "flagship" compared, but the 6a is a much better phone for me. I can buy any phone I want, but find myself bargain hunting for used phones. I work off my phone all day using it for calls, GPS and everything else in between. Cannot go wrong with Pixel A series. And to be honest, I think the older 6a camera takes better pictures in many situations than their newer hardware including 7a and 8. I will milk this $100 purchase until I get bored, but no need to spend $800+ on a smartphone. Invest your money.

      @@yourmajesty7604 The S22 is a nice phone and I got through my day with battery although it is not as good as Google 6a in that department. However, I prefer Google operating system and the camera/computational photography on the Pixel craps on the Samsung. I would go for a 7a if I were you. I LOVE my 6a but the 7a will serve you longer at this point.

      @13galaxy  8 месяцев назад +1

      5 hours of screen-on time is impressive in my heavy workflow, especially considering the smaller ~4400mAh battery inside. Of course, it is possible to get better battery on an equivalent Samsung or Apple device of the price, but this was what I gathered in my testing.

    I'm changing from a Samsung A71 to a Google Pixel 7a. Sorry Samsung, it's been fun since the S8, first Samsung I owned. But I'm looking at a trend, especially in the memory on phones, loss of expendable memory card slots, and watching the people starting to become like the original crackberry, the Blackberry and recently the iPhone, the total mindless dedication and stupidity and not stopping and asking can they, the manufacturer, and us, the consumer, do better?
    Latest iPhone's and Samsung Galaxy's are priced north of €1,000. Come on, why? Because people are willing to pay that much for a minor upgrade. Really? For what? Doesn't the S23 and iPhone 14 hit those points as well.
    Rant over, those are my reasons why I'm changing brand. I'm not a fanboy and my mother did not raise no fool. Google Pixel 7a please. Thank you.
