Pixel 7a and Pixel 7: Similarities and differences explained in 5 points
1) Performance, Android OS Support
You will get more or less the same performance on both the 5G phones because they use the same chip. There is Google’s flagship Tensor G2 SoC under the hood, which is capable of offering fast and smooth performance as long as you don’t put a lot of heavy load on the smartphone. You get 3 years of major Android OS and 5 years of security updates on both.
2) Battery, Charging
The Pixel 7a has a 4,385mAh battery with 18W wired charging, whereas the Pixel 7 features a 4,355mAh unit with 20W wired charging. So, there is not a major difference in this department too. Both phones have wireless charging support, but the more expensive version has support for 20W than 7.5W seen on the 7a. Hence, the premium version will charge at a slightly faster rate.
3) Camera
The camera department is where the company hasn’t widened the gap between both the phones and an average user will have a hard time spotting difference in the result. While features like Action Pan and Cinematic Blur modes present on the Pixel 7 are missing on the affordable version, Google has offered tools like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, longer range zooming options, and more on the 7a. The hardware here is not the main game as Google’s does its magic in post processing.
The Pixel 7a has a 64-megapixel main camera, but the sensor is smaller than Pixel 7 which has a large 50MP 1/1.31-inch sensor. This basically means the expensive version will be able to capture more details and brighter low-light images than the 7a. But, again, the difference in the end result is minor and people are getting a great camera with the Pixel 7a for around Rs 40,000 with launch offers. You can shoot 4K video with both the phones.
4) IP Water Resistant Rating
The Pixel 7’s iP68 rating is better than IP67 water-resistant rating. But, what is the difference? Well, the expensive version can survive in 1.5 metres of water for about 30 minutes and the affordable phone can last for 30 minutes in about 1 meter of water. But, you are getting some protection on both the phones, which will be useful during the rainy season.
5) Screen
The Pixel 7a has a slightly smaller screen than the flagship Pixel phone. The affordable Pixel A series phone packs a 6.1-inch 90Hz FHD+ display, whereas the Pixel comes with a 6.3-inch FHD+ 90Hz panel. Again, this won’t create much of a difference. Though, the more expensive version has a sturdy Gorilla Glass Victus Cover and the cheaper model features Gorilla Glass 3 coating on the front. Do keep in mind that 7a has a good quality plastic build with metal frames and the Pixel 7 sports a glass back.
