This Android phone is (almost) a great Google Pixel 7a alternative

The latest mid-range phone to capture attention is the Realme 11 Pro+, and at times it comes close to beating the Pixel 7a, as we find out in our review.

Classy design Interesting camera zoom feature Fast 100W wired charging Slim and lightweight

No IP rating Terrible selfie camera Irritating auto brightness adjustment

“The Realme 11 Pro+ takes mid-range phone design and battery charging speeds to the next level, but the selfie camera, software, and durability let it down.”

Google Pixel 7a review

Don't get a Pixel 7 - pick the 7a instead. That more or less summarized our thoughts from our initial encounter with Google's latest a-series smartphone,...

Clean Android interface, exclusive features, timely updates.

Limited availability.

In summary, with the 7a, Google appears to have simply created a more affordable Pixel 7, making the latest a-series model the go-to option for someone just looking for

Google Pixel 7a review: a good Pixel, but a hard sell

Google has just released the Pixel 7a, the latest phone in the Pixel A-series. But is this upgrade worth the price increase from the Pixel 6a? Let's find out.

Most compact Pixel 7 device Water-resistant 64MP main camera 90Hz refresh rate Wireless charging Four fun colors

Not great with low light photos Battery life is disappointing No reverse wireless charging Price puts it in an odd place

“The Google Pixel 7a is a big upgrade from its predecessor, but it's increased price puts it in a tough spot, considering the Pixel 6a got a deep price cut and the Pixel 7 is just a little bit more.”

Google Pixel 7a review: The best phone for most people

Google's budget champ is a heavyweight this year

$499 price point ; Bright, vivid 90Hz display ; Excellent photos ; Exclusive Pixel features ; Solid support

Mediocre speakers ; Performance can’t match flagships

The Pixel 7a is the phone that many wanted the Pixel 7 to be last year. At under $500, it is the phone that most Android fans should buy unless they absolutely need a telephoto lens or top-tier gaming performance. Google’s value-based dominance continues.

Google Pixel 7a Review: It's worth it

The Google Pixel 7a is the next super-hot and super-affordable offering by Google.

Google Pixel 7a review: Who needs a flagship when the "a" series exists?

Our Google Pixel 7a review looks at the company's second mid-range Android smartphone that features the company's Tensor G2 processor.

Solid design ; Same Tensor processor as Pixel 7/7 Pro ; Decent camera with great photo features like Face Unblur and Magic Eraser ; Great battery life ; IP67 rating ; Wireless charging ; Very reasonably priced

Different camera than in Pixel 7/7 Pro ; Photo quality a bit odd once using the Super Res Zoom feature ; Camera bump begs for case to be used ; Only one RAM/storage configuration available

If you’re looking for an affordable smartphone, the Google Pixel 7a is an excellent choice. The latest in Google’s mid-range line blurs the lines between it and the flagship devices even more. Not only does it feature the same Google Tensor 2 chipset...

Google Pixel 7a Review: Buy it for the software

Google debuted the Pixel 7a a while back and here we are putting the device to test so we can find out whether its worth your money.

Build & Design Software & Performance Cameras Battery Life

Charging speeds Selfies could be better Display could have been brighter, and smoother at 120Hz

The Google Pixel 7a definitely has competitors that are better in terms of performance but it's hard to go wrong with the Pixel when it comes to software and the camera experience, which are, as most of the other Google smartphones, the 7a's strongest...
