The Google Pixel 7a made its debut during the Google IO 2023 developer conference in May, and it's a fairly unchanged reworking of the standard Google Pixel 7 from late 2022, but with a lower price. That doesn't, however, make it an instant recommend over the standard Pixel 7 and for some, the older entry might be the better buy.
Google's A-series Pixels usually try to distill down the key selling points that make its mainline flagship phones so attractive, but at a lower cost. At the time of writing, the Google Pixel 7 is the company's base model flagship, and with the 7a's arrival it stands between the Pixel 7a and Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 7 Pro gives you a larger display and battery, more RAM and additional telephoto camera.
