For two weeks and many hours I tried to get the fingerprint unlock to work. It would work once or twice and then not work. I entered a new supply of fingerprints 4 times. Finally yesterday I returned it to BestBuy and paid the restocking fee. Now I'm back to my 3a until I can find a new phone. I must admit I will have to leave Google's Pixel series. How the fingerprint unlock can work so well on my four yr old 3a and not work on the new 7a is beyond me. I wouldn't use the 7a if someone gave it to me for free!

Got this phone yesterday. Great cameras and screen. Snappy. Battery life could be better, screen on time great but standby drain is an issue. Prefer it to the S23 I had before and it was a fraction of the price. High hopes for Pixel 8a.

Great phone. I really like Pixel phones, the user experience is very good, and it is truly a pleasure to work with pure Android.

I'm impressed with the fingerprint scanner working surprisingly well for an optical under display scanner and performance is great. The battery life is decent as well. Unfortunately the software is on lockdown like Soviet Russia and won't let you even install APK files (after enabling unknown sources). So it's basically an iPhone with Google's stuff pre-installed. Very bad for a company who create software to free you from the Apple prison. I'm returning this s***e and getting a OnePlus phone because I want to actually own a phone I've paid almost £500 for.

Does anyone know if the idle battery drain and overheating issue is still there or did it fix with the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro release.

It's not worse as you guys claim. My only problem is charging speed which I already know 18w will be so slow. The phone doesn't do well with intensive gaming too. But my phone doesn't drain like you claim even when I don't off my data. Google embedded some AI features which you have to turn so many of them off because you won't need them. I use my phone full day on a single charge if I don't play games.

I would like to buy this phone as I see it as a mid range phone. Apparently, this phone is on sale and cheaper than the A54 not sure if this is a good deal. Need your opinions pixel 7a users.

I was planning to get the standard 7 in the upcoming sales thinking its better than the 7a at least. I dont know what to do now! Obviously a weak modem will affect me significantly. And I am due an upgrade from my rather old Pixel 2 XL. I wonder how so many on reddit say theres no problem with network reception on their devices!!!

ithehappy, 07 Oct 2023Is it the same on the standard 7?Unfortunately YES. In fact, Google are still using it in the Tensor G3 chipset used in the Pixel 8 despite knowing about the problems with that particular modem.
