Google Pixel 7A

Technical specifications

Encouraged by the advantages of stock Android and praise in some social media groups, I decided to purchase this device, but unfortunately, the initial fascination quickly turned into total disappointment. After switching from a four-year-old Xiaomi flagship, I can clearly state that it was a regression; this phone offers nothing, absolutely nothing besides a decent camera, but do not expect any "wow" effect because photos are only okay in good lighting, and in weaker lighting, they are good but clearly artificial and highly distorted. Regarding the camera, which as I mentioned is the only advantage of this phone, the application can freeze when quickly browsing content or deleting files, it also stutters when quickly switching applications, Opera causes it to lag, and you often have to force close applications because they suddenly stop working (do not respond). On A13, the battery was a tragedy; managing to get 2.5-3h SOT was a miracle and the phone was constantly extremely hot, A14 does not change much, SOT increased on average by 30 minutes to an hour, but at least the phone does not burn your hands through the case. Several applications I used do not start at all on A14 (even a clean installation was performed according to Google's recommendations), it hurts me the most that Movavi does not work, which I used for work. Overall, this phone is a highly unrefined gadget with many software errors and power-hungry components; the battery usually does not last until evening (for me, work use is often between 8-20, mainly calls and photos).

Hello. Contrary to what I have read and watched regarding heating issues and poor battery life, I must say that it is not true. The phone heated up slightly during data transfer from the old phone. The battery easily lasts a day (and I use it quite a bit). This size is perfect, the speakers sound good, and the camera is great. The downside is the slow charging, but I was aware of that. Overall, this phone can be recommended to most users without hesitation.

After a year of use, I am wondering whether to keep it instead of replacing it because it still works flawlessly, but I will replace it to make it easier to sell the current one, the 7a operates comfortably, smoothly and quickly, games and applications run without issues, some of the "Apple Intelligence" is cumbersome (it works excellently but slowly) and the camera leaves something to be desired, I will certainly replace it with a 9a or a regular Pixel 9

I highly recommend this phone because of the number of features it has and, contrary to many opinions, it has never overheated for me, although sometimes something may stop responding. I also updated it to the latest Android 14 and everything is working without problems so far; the phone charges quickly with the appropriate charger power, the only thing I noticed is that the battery level decreases quickly, but overall I recommend the phone.

Aside from the slow charging, I do not see any problems with the phone. It does not overheat, and the battery life is reasonably good with Android 14. Nothing freezes; all the applications I use work, including those from outside the appstore. For 1750zł, there is no better option.

This is my first smartphone that does not have vibration signaling for an established connection. Other than that, it is a standard device. The camera is theoretically good, but it sometimes adds features to people that were not originally present

The fact that it lasts one day is nothing remarkable, and furthermore, the battery drains quickly. On the plus side, it is not as large as most current models.

Great equipment, I recommend it to everyone.
