Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Facing connectivity issue call drop, signal lost reconnect takes time, after update also issue is not resolved. Two times sent to service centre they returned mentioned that everything is fine. Basic functions not fulfilled Pathetic
Something doesn't look right with the Veins! Have a doctor look at them!
On a side note, why does swiping forward causing chrome to go back? 😢

Slow charging like a tortoise
Disappointing that this is a revisit after three months and not a review of three months of use.

Love pixel
Love CNET ❤️
I was considering to upgrade from my 6a. But i decided not to because the brightness of the display outside was awful. I have the 7 Pro which I absolutely Iove. I only used the 6a for running & hiking out on the trails. So I needed a smaller phone with a brighter display. I sold the 6a and picked up the S22 which has worked perfectly. Great video thank you.
Pretty fair review. I considered the 7a but went with the 7 as I have large hands and large pockets so the larger phone is fine for me. I can easily see the 7a being a great choice for so many people due to it's smaller dimensions though. And it seems that you aren't really giving up anything important.
I do take issue with your complaint about screen brightness, however. EVERY phone has to be at maximum brightness to be useable outside on a sunny day, this is not unique to the Pixel 7a. Just use the autobrightness feature which will do this for you. When you are outdoors, brighter is always better and the Pixels do not have the brightest screens – Apple and Samsung screens are a bit brighter.
Wait. Hang on. Are you giving us your 3 month review or are you just picking it up again after three months of going back to your old phone?
This so misleading. You make it seem like you’ve been using it for 3 months but you haven’t!

OMG, just watched your Pixel 7A review and I'm so hyped! But hey @YouTuber, have you heard of FantaClaus? It could totally boost your comment game! 🙌
Hey, a good review. I think you missed one of the major differences between the 7 and the 7A and that's the seventh screen gets brighter which is a big plus
I've had the 7a for about a month now. Like everyone does when they get a new phone, I played a lot with it in the beginning and was worried the battery life wasn't that great but now that I've settled in to a more normal usage it seems to have gotten better and I have no problems getting a full day out of it and actually almost two days. I love the screen and 90Hz refresh rate. Coming from a 720p LCD to this is amazing. It may not be as bright as some OLED's but it's fine for my uses. I specifically bought this one for the camera and it's just amazing. It does everything I want. A few things I've noticed that I'm not too fond of is how it takes three touches to connect to WiFi and disconnect. It should be two like most phones. Also, I find it fussy when pressing an icon. Any small movement in that press and instead of opening the app it wants to move the icon. Maybe I"m doing something wrong or I'm just too shaky? I use it for work to record items for later distribution and printing and it's been great for that. I use Android File Transfer but in this phone to use that I have to have the connection in debugging mode. I hope they fix that eventually. I'm one of those that can't imagine myself walking around with a thousand dollar phone (actually $2000 here in Canada) and this one at $600 was the best I could get for the money at the time. Comparing the price to discounted phone isn't really fair since all phones eventually get discounted. Like you said with a new phone you get a little more updates than the discounted ones. The biggest problem is the heat when wireless charging. I think it might hurt the battery longevity so I use it sparingly when I just need a little top off to be safe. And it should be mentioned that there is a repair kit available for it now that includes all the tools and parts you'll need to fix it yourself should the need arise prematurely. Try that with an iPhone.
