    Little to no difference comparing to the 4a I used to have. Also not a fan of the screen fingerprint scanner

    Avoid!!! I've had different Google Pixels for years now and this one is horrible. I'm on my second 7A, the first one being replaced by Google because it had so many issues, and the replacement is no better. Between both 7a's I've had issues with fingerprint, frozen screen, touchscreen, apps closing, apps disappearing, overheating battery, worst battery life I've ever experienced, fast battery drainage while not being used, random factory rests, worst talk to text I've experienced, and cell service is worse then my 6a. My daughter's 7a is also horrible. Three out of three 7a's are pieces of junk. This phone never should have been released.

    Too early to tell. Is there a Pixel 7A "101 course" available? If so, I sure need it. Donald Perrotti

    I ordered an Excellent Condition - Open Box Pixel 7a from Best Buy, expecting a like-new device. Instead, I received a phone with heavy scratches, far from "excellent" condition. I needed this phone urgently for my daughter, so I had no time to return or exchange it, but this was extremely frustrating. Best Buy should be more transparent and ensure better quality control. If you’re considering an open-box purchase, be prepared for surprises!

    Purchase Date 7/24/2023, Review Date 8/6/23 absolutely NOT impressed with phone's ability to play nice with Android Auto. Time researching workarounds/specialized settings ='s NOT plug-N-play. Not impressed with staff's ability to highlight device weaknesses. Who knows, maybe they could have sold me up to something with less downside. Battery life poor. Google's optimization settings maze-worthy. Doubt Joe customer could prove he received a factory lemon battery. Using time w/AccuBattery diagnostic app time (and power) consuming.

    THE WORST CELL PHONE EVER !!!

    I needed a new phone. I did a deep dive research on cell phones priced under $500.00. Anybody and everybody that had something to say or wrote a review - The Google Pixel 7a Phone was (is) NUMBER ONE on the list. To say some reviews are a tad over the top falls short. WITHOUT A DOUBT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CELL PHONE I'VE EVER OWNED. In fact, I exchanged the first one. I am going to Best Buy to return the second cell phone. Call quality - WHATS THAT ? NEVER EVER WILL I BUY A PIXEL PHONE. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT GOOGLE SEARCH IS OFFICIALLY USELESS. AND THERE PIXEL 7a cell phone is 100% CRAP - PARDON MY LANGUAGE BUT, I CALL IT THE WAY I SEE IT.
