Im so sick of larger phones busting out of my pocket or being ridiculously heavy especially holding with one hand. I got the 7a brand new for $340 on Mercari after having a Note 20 Ultra & I absolutely love it.
I honestly don't know much about phones. Right now I have the OnePlus 8 and every since the update a week ago it has totally killed the battery and slowed the phone down. I was looking at getting the Pixel 7 and they were on sale for $499 but then I looked today and they are $599 while the 7A is $449. Will I noticed that much of a difference? I was originally going to get the 7 because of the $50 price difference
The 7 has a worse pixel amount when zooming in, it is more smudgy than the 7a. But in the other hand less noise in night shots. As a fotographer, hard choice. I want the quality of the 7a in daylight and the nightshots of the 7 :/
I love pixels, but my eyes struggle with their low display brightness - all models ( manual brightness) its my eyes and how they work with oled displays. My eyes are fine though, just how they work with oled. My eyes need at least 700 nits manual brightness
How is the 7a any noticably smaller than the 7 to feel nicer in the hand? It's literally 0.3mm less wide and 0.3 thicker than the regular 7. The small difference in hight shouldn't really change a thing while holding it either.
Not sure how to explain it. I guess the weight difference makes a big difference. I can tell when I used both of these side by side when I took these two phones out to take photos. 7a felt more comfortable.
NEVER buy a phone at launch. You will always be dealing with initial issues requiring patches or mid-cycle updates. Marketing knows what motivates customers and there will never be the best phone as replacement is in development as the latest enters the marketplace. Amazon just ran a 2-day Prime deal where the new Pixel 7a was offered for $399. There is no Pixel 7 on offer from Google. Is the Google Pixel 8 worth $300 more in 2023 (4 months after this review)? I say no way unless you are wealthy, have no debts, and have funded your retirement. Spend your money wisely.
The regular 7 is selling for 400 bucks on the used market rt now. 100 bucks cheaper than the 7a and it has a bigger screen and glass back, etc. Seems like a no brainer. Especially if you get a used 7 that's in mint condition.
What’s your opinion on the OnePlus11? And this? And iPhone 14 pro? I’m stuck on the Pro but I been wanting to go back To Android…. Tough Decisions haha
OnePlus is shit. I bought a OnePlus 9 pro 2 years ago and it still has a lot of bugs. I don't know what they are doing there. After the OnePlus 8 pro the company went wrong
What use to th average consumer is video in 4k 60fps? If you upload it to social media it will be compressed into oblivion, if you watch it back on the phone it's in 1080p. Not many people are transferring video to a pc or TV with 4k ability.
I got the 7a since the 8 is coming in a few months I thought I'd pocket the change, also considering the 7a & 7 seem to be pretty much the same phone with very slight differences
@@mickymac432 Absolutely atrocious do your life a favor and don't even think about getting it. Absolute garbage for $500, if you can pick one up for $300 MAYBE, but otherwise look elsewhere, better off with a used or older galaxy or even a cheap Chinese phone is better.
Honestly… Pixel 6a is VERY cheap. But it has its drawbacks like 60Hz and first gen tensor chip. But Pixel 7 if you can find it for a good price. It’s a great phone for less than $500
I wish more phones had non-glass backs. I kind of hate glass backs.
It's to enable wireless charging without resorting to "cheap" plastic
@@thelastmelon9446they both have wireless charging
+1 to 6a/7a comparison
Tired of large phones. Got the 7a even though its the same price as 7
For music lovers, pixel 7 is better as it has spatial sound
Music lovers using phone speakers 😅
Is it me or.....did the pixel 7a pics look clearer than the 7 in this video?
No
Yes 🥂

Is Mercari trustworthy?
6 inches is still ridiculous though. I long for the ~4 inch days.
@@basicoptimalmouse that's what she said.
I'm sorry I had to.
Pixel devices are trash .... They have so many higher in parts that Google refuses to use and that's why they were never be flagship in my eyes
@@frankdigiovanni5697 idk, it's pretty worth it if it's on sale

Did you mix up the labels on the video cause the 7a pics look better than the 7. Not sure why everyone keeps saying otherwise

As a photographer you wouldn't have to choose between phone cameras
@@the0tanr think outside of the box?🤷♀
I would like the 7 but like the colour of 7a .
I've just ordered a 7 because you can get it for pretty much the same price as a 7a
How?

Nice review, truly enjoyed your thoughts on these pixels..cheers :)
I am going to wait to buy the google pixel 8 that is looking very good from the leaks
Yes wait will be better
Lmao 😂 I’ve been saying the same thing for the past 4 years now
let's hope
Did u buy

The heading is so sure.. but your reviews are always very diplomatic..
Nice review and comparison kapatid!

Not a fan of the glass back and I don't buy used, but I agree if these fit the needs of someone.
I just bought a bread new unsealed pixel 7. In green for $450 is coming tomorrow in excited
@@tuts4140 where'd you buy it from bro?
I'm looking to buy one myself?
@@tuts4140 wow. from where if you don't mind me asking?

Excellent review. First one to clearly explain exactly what I wanted to know.
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
Which one has better battery life?
The Pixel 7 and 7a are now the same price on the Canadian Google Store for $599 for 128GB
which one would you buy? I also saw that and am wondering.
@@rahimahmed8879 the regular 7. Not the 7a. 7 has a better camera.

What Google did not tell us?
No cinematic blur, no 4k60 for UW/front facing camera just to name a couple
Cinematic blur on pixel is useless ATM to be honest which is disappointing since it's a software thing and apple seem to do well
Excellent review
Welcome back Mark!
no fluff, straight to the point, thanks for that

Nice job on the video....The pixel 7 screen gets brighter
Great comparison! Also, could you share where you got your sweatshirt from? 😅
i’ve decided on a pixel 7 thankss
just bought the pixel 7 new with a price less than 7a. lol
For me, the 7a and 7 were the same price so I just got the regular pixel 7.
I got the 7a since the 8 is coming in a few months I thought I'd pocket the change, also considering the 7a & 7 seem to be pretty much the same phone with very slight differences
How’s the 7a for you?

What's the problem with your pixel phone?
Yoo, this video is dope 🔥
Which is best for zoom quality??
want the 6a vs 7a video for sure!
Seattle huh, would love to move back home but too costly.
Good overview.
Bow bad it gets heated from games?
But,do they make phone calls?😂
According to google website they're both AMOLED
Nope Olad!!!!
Will only change to Pixel if Tensor is base on Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and newer.
@@shepardcommander9960 nobody does gaming on cellphones anyways.
@@kvin9210 yeah only idiots.. get a console
I have an Oppo and the camera is rubbish! Now about to upgrade so which phone has the best camera which is reasonably priced please?
Honestly… Pixel 6a is VERY cheap. But it has its drawbacks like 60Hz and first gen tensor chip. But Pixel 7 if you can find it for a good price. It’s a great phone for less than $500
does the 7a heat up with casual use? (soc med, youtube, chrome, etc)?
It used to when I bought it at launch. But now it doesn’t over heat unless I am in the sun or shooting videos for long
Selfie camera??????
Which camera you are using for the video making ?
@6:13 , What up SNUBS!
what microphone is Mark using, anyone know?
Hey hey! It's the Logitech Blue Sona Mic! Hooked up to an Elgato Wave XLR to my Mac mini
Thanks
Watching this on my Pixel 7
And are you satisfied?
Brilliantly explained
0:06 That thick looking bar is a big NO BUY for many on 7, 7 pro and above.
7 is obviously a win🔥❤️
Actually the better buy is the Pixel 6 pro
Nah, I disagree. Pixel 7 is where it’s at with all the price drops and features vs the 7a
pixel 7 has a brighter screen than 7a
Pixel 7 is the better one to get
They drop the price to 444
THE GOATTT
Go team Washington
wowowow
First to watch 🎉
Let's gooooooo!!

Pixel 7a is TRASH
And then they offer a feature which is disgusting 5 watt wireless charging. Pixel 7A is absolutely garbage from the dim OLED screen
The coral 🪸 looks more stunning and 7a is much better 🪸
