Great phone! It's a bit smaller and lighter then most the phones on the market, which is what I wanted. The pictures are phenomenal! Great battery life! I refuse to switch to Apple for many reasons. This phone has a lot of great features for the value. Highly recommend!

This phone is great! Picture quality is amazing, which is what I was looking for. The battery is way better than my previous phone and it was so easy to transfer everything over. I enjoy the size of the phone for my smaller hands and the sea colour is great.

Had a Pixel 5a prior to this one. It's significantly faster, and has a larger screen in a smaller phone format. The wireless charging is convenient. My only gripe is the corners of the case where it meets the front glass feel sharp.

My 13 year old LG G4 died (ain't broke, not going to fix it), so many independent reviews said the Google Pixel 7a is an excellent choice ($400 to $500 range). My celluar service warned that buying an unlocked cell phone may have compatibility problems; NOT! Once the cell service sim card was loaded, all of the brains and guts of the service was loaded into the phone (at least in my case). I bought the phone for $375 vs $499. So far, 1 month, the phone has been great. The camera has some incredible features ( go to You Tube school), battery life is good, sound and reception is great. Do make sure your cell service will work with you on the set up ( transfer of pics and contact list) (my provider was out of stock of the 7a so was willing to help).

Great phone! I've been a long time Pixel user. Since they began using their own processor, they have improved in every way: battery life, screen and camara quality, and processing speed.

Since I was having issues with my Samsung Galaxy S20 5G I felt it was time to open up the choices for a new phone. I had a few in mind outside of the Samsung family. What drew me to the Google phones was the price and features mostly. I settled on the Google Pixel 7a. The camera was the one feature that I wanted most of all. It turned out to be a great choice. I will be using the camera on this phone much more than my old phone. The price of my new Pixel was absolutely the best thing about my purchase. I may have just turned the corner on my phone choices going forward. Thank you Best Buy. And in particular, Nashwa. I couldn't have done it without you!

Solid phone for a good price, it keeps up with daily tasks well, and has a good camera. The battery life is solid, and it feels about right in the hand, not too big or small to hold comfortably.

My 4 y.o. Moto was dragging. My requirements were a decent camera, altho taking pix is not my main use. NFC is important - the Moto did not have that. Less bloat is nice, to free up room for the apps I want. My provider is Google Fi, so moving my micro SIM card was simple. Booting up, Google loaded almost everything on my old phone to the pixel 7a. I automatically get Google's VPN for security. Monthly OS updates are so superior to Moto's couple of times a year, if that. Good screen even in the sun. Great battery life. Cloaked it in a Spigen case, and I'm in cellphone heaven. Just buy it!

Im typically someone who always buys the top of the line phone. I was on the lookout for a smaller phone and once I got this I realized I didn't miss anything from the more expensive phones. Amazing performance, decent battery lofe, and great cameras.

Hey, I thought Apple made the best phone. Hmm. Have to rethink because this phone is great. My iphone died, yes died and the AppleCare had just expired so what to do. Get another Apple, I thought because I always do. Wait then I saw the Pixel and played around with it for a few. Next you know I buy it and say I will give it a try. Secure phone,well built, sturdy and excellent features. I do miss certain things on my Iphone no Siri is not one of them but seriously listen, the reminders and notifications on the Pixel are much better, along with excellent battery life. Great price, great camera, but the clincher for me is the OLED screen. Though the hardware is not as sturdy as Iphone, this is a fine phone. Check it out yourself and give it a try for the price this phone really delivers.

My previous phone was a Pixel 3 so there are a lot of big improvements- camera, battery life, storage capacity and processor speed. The facial recognition works reasonably well, the finger printer reader is pickier than on the P3.

A Perfect Blend of Performance and Style

I recently purchased the Google Pixel 7a 5G in Charcoal, and I am thoroughly impressed. This phone deserves a solid 5-star rating for several reasons. Firstly, the performance is exceptional. The 128GB storage capacity is ample for all my needs, allowing me to store a plethora of apps, photos, and videos without any lag. The 5G capability ensures that I am always connected at the fastest speeds available, making streaming and browsing a breeze. Battery life is another area where the Pixel 7a shines. It easily lasts a full day on a single charge, even with heavy use. And when I do need to charge it, the process is quick and efficient. The photos are crisp, vibrant, and full of detail, and the various camera modes are fun and easy to use.

I've owned Pixels since back when they came out with the Pixel 2XL. The 7a is fantastic. Fast, great display/sound, and as an avid photographer, still the best camera you can find in a cell phone (the hardware has been significantly upgraded in the 7a, though I've read it's debatable how much difference this actually makes in end-result photo output). No phone is perfect, but this one comes about as close as I've seen - and picking it up on sale for $375 made the choice to move up from my 6a pretty much a no-brainer. Highly recommended.

Pixel 7a review

Bought to replace an aging Pixel 3 who's battery wouldn't hold a charge anymore. Everything was easy to transfer over to the new phone via the supplied USB-C cable. I thought I could use my old sim card and was having trouble activating the phone. Once I put in the new supplied one it worked fine.
Pros:
- The size. I like that I'm not carrying around a brick.
- I like the pixel/android operating system, and customizability options
- Wireless charging works pretty good on my old pixel stand
- The camera has some nice upgrades over the pixel 3
- The price.
Cons:
- I find the fingerprint sensor to be a little finicky, and I don't use the face unlock.
My kids each just got the new iPhone 14 plus, but they prefer my phone because of the size.

Amazing camera, good battery, and a super smart phone! This was my first time using a Pixel and I was NOT disappointed, and I've used Pro Max iPhones, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and even the Z Flips. For an affordable phone, it does EVERYTHING the other phones can do (besides the telephoto camera), not to mention it has all of Google's super smart features (magic eraser, photo unblur, automatic call screening, etc.) built directly into the phone (a lot of which are Pixel-exclusive featutes). The 90 Hz screen is gorgeous, the haptics are great, and the UI is extremely user-friendly as well. Besides the slower charging speeds and slightly larger bezels, there's really nothing not to like about the Pixel 7a.

An excellent phone overall. Fast and responsive. Great camera. Only one regret is the lack of a headphone jack for my nice headphones.

I absolutely love the Pixel as a phone for its function, abilities and honestly the perfect size device. With that said, not being able to transfer group chats from my iphone to this Pixel, ultimately left me retuning to my iphone. The price was great, process to switch from Apple to Android was simple, and Google was great to deal with. However, not being able to have group chats with very important informaiton get copied over is why i ultimately did not keep it.

Best Pixel up through 7-series to-date

This is definitely the best Pixel I've ever used and especially for the price. Ever since Android 12, the OS has been finicky and glitchy. But that aside, this device is super, and it's nice that the A-series has a refresh rate up to 90, and not just 60 anymore, like the previous ones. And...for those who care like me, battery life is very good. Moderate to continual light/medium use will get you through to bedtime. Lots of video streaming or video calling will give need for recharge, but that's somewhat expected (even though I've discovered iPhone 13 and beyond can even harbor some of this better than most all Androids).
