Excellence in Performance, Camera, and Software
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this phone for a few months now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance and features. due to its design, it gives me a premium feel. The phone is comfortable to hold and use with one hand. The 6.1-inch OLED display is stunning. Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and brightness is more than sufficient, even in direct sunlight. The 90Hz refresh rate makes it feel smooth and responsive. The latest Google Tensor G2 chip makes Multitasking seamless, apps open quickly, and there's no lag even with demanding games. The camera on the is exceptional. Photos are having excellent quality and color accuracy is amazing. I like Magic Eraser and Real Tone features. The phone is clean, fast, and free of bloatware. The smart features like Google Assistant, Call Screen, and Now Playing are incredibly useful. Overall, the phone is outstanding and offers excellent value for its price.

The Little Mac of Smartphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At $375, you'd be hard to pressed to find a better phone. My previous phone was a $1,300 Sony Xperia 1 III. It punches WAY above it's weight, with flagship performance and low to mid entry level price. Performance is smooth - older games run beautifully, and the cleanest version of Android you can get means very little background resources being leeched. The OLED display is fantastic, very crisp with vivid colors. My Sony Xperia 1 III had a 4K 120hz OLED panel, and I barely notice a difference. 128GB of storage may not seem like much (I dropping down from 1.25TB...) But after some time I've realized it'll be quite long before that becomes an issue. Coming from a $1,300 enthusiast phone, the camera has left me floored. The software assisted photos go toe to toe with the photos I took for with my old phone. You absolutely will not find a better camera phone at this price. It likely beats many flagships. Battery life has been decent - not perfect, more than serviceable. I can get through the whole day without needing to touch power save mode, even with the 90hz refresh rate on. The phone is also quite compact, it's very pocketable and I'm quite pleased to have taken a step back in size for a phone that's easier to handle. All in all, this phone is phenomenal. It goes toe to toe with phones $1,000 more expensive, and I wish I would have looked into the Pixel A series sooner. The sale ends on 2/24, and at $375, this is absolutely the best value on the Android market right now.

High Quality Phone
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The phone is great so far. Build quality is excellent and Android runs very smoothly. I need to get used to some of the screen controls as they're different from my previous Samsung. The fingerprint reader sometimes doesn't work, but that's a minor issue which I've also had on other phones. Display is incredibly vibrant, which is perfect for gaming and videos. The camera is phenomenal and better than all my previous Androids. Battery life seems to be decent and the phone charges quickly. Only drawback is you need to purchase a separate 30W USB-C charger, as only a USB-C cable is included in the box (unless you have a Macbook USB-C charger on hand, which will also work). Overall this may be the best Android phone I've ever purchased, so I would definitely recommend it.

Good phone, cute, takes good photos, reliable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think it’s a nice phone. Good size. Good sound. Responsive. Takes great photos. Easy to use. I like it. I bought an android phone cost me 900. This would have been better choice. They play around with a lot of wallpapers, but that’s a fun of having a phone. Reliable, but you want colorful and fun and uplifting and something that represents you and you can find you on this phone. The other phone had a lot more on it like a pen. I don’t use it. Be realistic. You need a phone? This is good. Out of 10, I give it a 10.

Solid budget phone!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a solid phone for the price! I have run into issues with the fingerprint sensor (I don't understand why they moved from the back of the phone to the screen) and am still mourning the lack of my headphone jack, but overall it's good! It was also fairly easy to set up. Camera is pretty good, and has a nice amount of storage. I especially like the ISO balance, it takes pictures with bright lights (see the candle picture) way better than my previous phone.

Moved from Pixel 5a to 7a
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previous phone was a Pixel 5A. I am not someone who plays games on my phone so I can't give you info on performance related to that. I do use it for daily tasks: Banking, shopping and Facebook/Marketplace, Snap and IG. Performance wise I see no difference. The battery life is considerably worse on the 7a. I can go from 9am until midnight on the 5a, but at least a few hours less on the 7a. The rear fingerprint sensor was way better on the 5a, the 7a is hit and miss and the face unlock is pretty good in good lighting. I was holding out in hopes of another brand (other than Samsung) to have ultrasonic print reader. I was willing to try the Pixel 9 also if it had ultrasonic, but the 5a died. I prefer android over ios but there are some bugs in the newer android which is somewhat annoying. For the price it was the best choice for a decent mid range phone. I personally don't want to throw out $800-$1200 for a phone and the choices for a midranger are disappointing these days. The 7a will due for a while.

Great phone for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this Pixel because of the great specifications for the price. The camera takes great pictures and is smooth. The regular Pixel7 has a slightly shorter battery life which made this the right choice.

My Canada trip
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm using this cellphone for a while. I think is a good cellphone, I like how it takes pictures and the camera is great. Just I don't like when you take pictures at night because pictures are dark and is not the best picture. But when you take pictures to the nature such as trees, mountains it will be a great picture. Recently I went to Canada and I took a lot of beautiful pictures, great colors. Actually I printed all the pictures in my phone. And now I have a lo of memories and stories.also is a good price for a good phone.

Great phone for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 of these, one for myself and one for my husband. We have used many different Android handsets in the past, including flagship HTC and Samsung, but this is our first Pixel. The response speed on the 7a is very good, as fast or faster as any other phone I've had. The photo and video quality is quite nice and worth every penny, especially on what's considered a midrange phone. My only negative feedback is the way swiping left and right from the edge is the default way to go back. Many many apps and websites have horizontal scrolling, Insta for example, so if you're not very careful you're always accidentally closing out of apps you were in the middle of using. I suspect it's an option you can change, but I just haven't yet explored adjusting that one thing.

Great midranger, slow charging
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You don't need flagship features - but if you're a power user and you burn through battery because of heavy use, you will not be able to 'top off' your phone late in the day to get through the evening. 5-7W wireless charging. 18W max wired charging. Everything else is stellar.

Great phone. I love Pixels
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this as a Christmas gift for a relative who had the Pixel 3a for a long time and finally needed an upgrade. I've also had the 3a since 2019. He says this phone is easy to use and has a lot of storage space. It has the same setup us the previous models, so there wasn't a huge learning process to use it. It takes a while to charge, but then the battery lasts way longer. This was an issue he was experiencing with his previous phone, so he's happy that the new phone's battery lasts all day. The camera quality is excellent. I notice a lot of photographers gravitate towards Pixels. I think Pixels are great for both personal and business use. It's basically a tiny computer. I might buy one for myself or the newest 8 model later on, but my 3a still works fine. Google makes good phones.

It's reliable and a mid- range phone/ price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My previous phone was a Pixel 4a 5g. I really liked it, but I found it starting to freeze up so I read the reviews on this phone and made my selection. I'm still getting familiar with it. I like it. It's reliable and a nice size. I do notice that it gets hot when you are charging it while using it for something? I thought the price was reasonable. Lastly the volume could be louder when not on speaker and ringing

Best midrange phone for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best midrange Android phone you can buy. It’s not cluttered with duplicate apps like the other brands, and it’s guaranteed to get updates for a reasonable amount of time into the future. I do wish the screen was a little brighter outdoors in direct sunlight, and the back of phone does show fingerprints, but those are very minor gripes. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent, affordable, Android phone.
