Is Google Pixel 7a worth it? Hands-on review

Google’s annual smartphone renewal season has arrived, and as Google typically does, it’s launched a new springtime budget smartphone: the Google Pixel 7a is now available. While that’s good news, the even bigger news is that Google is also about to launch both a foldable phone—the Pixel Fold—AND a tablet closer to July that promises to kill off the Nest Home Hub gadgets by making them way better. Watch for the Pixel Tablet with its detachable speaker dock coming soon. Meantime, onto the device that is immediately available: the review of the Pixel 7a smartphone. I was provided with a demo version of the phone to test out and review to see what’s new, how it works, and whether it might be a good choice for your next Android smartphone.

What’s new with Google Pixel 7a?

The key upgrades to the Pixel 7a include the addition of wireless charging, a memory upgrade from 6GB on the 6a to the same 8GB the Pixel 7 has. There’s also an upgraded chipset for a speedier, smoother performing phone and Android 13 comes preloaded on the device.

Also new: Face Unlock comes to the Pixel 7a, which wasn’t on the 6a but is on the 7. One of the biggest improvements is to the smartphone’s camera; gaining major ground over the 6a and even bettering the Pixel 7 some.

In short, the updates list is relatively short, but even these incremental improvements add value to the Pixel 7a. Let’s dig in…

Camera upgrades

On the hardware side there are a few improvements that should make the photos taken by the Pixel 7a a lot higher in quality. That’s saying a lot since in my reviews of every Pixel phone so far, al Pixel phones have always owned the road when it comes to great cameras.

When comparing the 7a to the Pixel 6a, the front camera has jumped up from 8MP to 13 MP and nudged a slightly wider field of view too. But it’s the rear camera array which is really substantial; while the Pixel 6a had a 12.2 MP dual-pixel wide camera, the 7a builds on that and goes further with its 64 MP Quad camera set up.

New on the Pixel 7a’s camera are some of the fun software tools that exist on other Pixel phones. You can now use Face Unblur (which sharpeners blurry photos and portraits automatically) on the 7a, as well as a new Long Exposure Mode.

Making a return are popular Pixel photo features including better low light photography with Night Sight, Magic Eraser (which is like built in free photoshop and Real Tone for better and more inclusive skin tone accuracy. These aren’t new features but they are new to the budget 7a phone.
