After seeing the Google Pixel 7a, it's easy to wonder why you'd think of picking up the pricier Google Pixel 7. After all, the 7a costs £449/$499, which is a full £/$100 less than the Pixel 7, yet the two look virtually identical (ignoring the brighter colour options), share loads of features and specs, and thanks to Google adding wireless charging and a smooth 90Hz screen to the newer 7a, are matched on those fronts too. So which will it be?
Announced at Google I/O 2023, along with Google's priciest Pixel to date – the Pixel Fold – the Pixel 7a sits at the other end of the spectrum, and is an instant value champ on paper (even though it costs £/$50 more than the Pixel 6a when that launched in 2022). In fact, Google has fleshed out the Pixel 7a's features over its predecessor so much that we'd happily recommend it even with its price bump.
