Pixel 7A review: We’re running out of reasons to splurge on a “pro” phone (via nytimes)
Google’s new budget phone that arrives in stores this week, the Pixel 7A, is the latest testament to the maturation of the smartphone market, and it presents an opportunity to save money. The entry-level handset, priced at $500, is in many ways on par with its premium counterpart, the Pixel 7 Pro, which cost $900. And based on my testing for a week, I would recommend the budget model for most Android users.
Many Android phone makers struggled to keep up with software updates because they relied on chips and components from an array of different manufacturers, and it was difficult to make new operating systems continue to work with all those parts. That longer support life — combined with Google’s Tensor making the Pixel phones faster and more efficient in their power use — is a win for consumers.
Google also says that the glass on the Pixel 7 Pro’s screen is higher quality than the Pixel 7A’s display. But in my experience, all phone screens are susceptible to shattering when dropped on a hard surface, and it’s always a better idea to use a protective case.
