No Wi-Fi hotspot capability. This may disappoint some people, as you can do this with a 3a.

I downloaded the August update this morning and it took over an hour to install and reboot. Is this a new record or has it taken longer for anyone else?

Was able to find Pixel 7a sealed box at 350 Euros. No warranty, though.
Pretty good deal. Bought my last 3 phones this way - never had any issues.

Quite a lot of money for this phone. Let's hope they will make Pixel 7b that will be cheaper.

Jimbob, 12 Jul 2023Seems nice but Galaxy S23 is just betterObviously S23 is way better, it's a flagship. 7a is comparable to A54 more than S23.

Jimbob, 12 Jul 2023Seems nice but Galaxy S23 is just betterI think pixel 7A is a mid range and s23 is a high end right? If it's true it's not a good comparison to begin with.

I tested several devices today, 7a, a54, s23 ultra, of all devices, the 7a appealed to me the most, very fast and feels very valuable. the a54 on the other hand was thick and not as valuable as the 7a, despite the glass back, display quality was the same, the 7a was much smoother. the s23 ultra was great, but somehow i don't like edge screens, and i don't need such a powerful camera cell phone, and it's also too expensive for me. I think I'll take the 7a.

Is there any chance to make call recording work on this phone in EU? I know pixel 7a doesn't support native call recording but has any third party recording app successfully worked here?

When I visited physical store, I noticed that pixel 7a much more lighter than my pixel 6a with case. There might be a mistake in specifications.

Would be ready to compromise on many things like screen, headphone-jack, SD card slot to get a more data protection OS like Graphene. But the lack of 256GB option on this phone is a massive stinker. Why Google? Not everyone always has internet access. I'm often in places where I don't have internet access but still would like to have lots of different music available. 128GB for 5 year won't be enough. I can already fill that with my music collection if I want xD
And yet I refuse to spent €600 for an Pixel 7 256GB.

This phone is great this is my first week trying it out. Here is what's good and bad about this phone.
Good
1) SCREEN has a beautiful display and a decent size not being to large or too small is not too tick or slim it's just the perfect size in my opinion.
2) BATTERY the battery is decent for a normal user that goes thru emails and social Networking or on and off calls during the day and also if you listen to music during the day it's going to last you all day.
3)GAMING the phone does decent on gaming is fast and it's very optimized for a phone in this price rage.
4)CAMERAS the cameras on this phone are great! For the price you are getting flagship quality cameras on this phone, for a normal user like me I feel like they are great I'f you will like a more pro experience you'll need to go with the pixel 7pro.
5) SPEAKERS the speakers are awesome and the call quality is amazing it sounds laud and clear.
Bad
1) OVERHEATING Something that I noticed this phone overheats on heavy use and a downside of that is that the battery will drain if it gets hot. Also it gets warm over normal use. (I hope Google van fix this with an update)
2) BACKPANEL The back of the phone is a gloss plastic back after a while it starts feeling a bit cheap and while using it without a case it gets kinda grease around the back and im very clean with my phone's.
3) CHARGING In my opinion the charging on this phone is way way too slow it's good if you charge overnight but not if you need a quick charge it takes forever to charge with a fast charger. I've been using a 45w charger and the original cable but the pixel gets hot and slows down my charging way under what it's supposed to.
4) WIRELESS CHARGING I'm honestly impressed that this phone supports it but it's also a way slower wireless charging and it gets way too hot when it's charging this way as well
5)DISPLAY the screen is not too bright outside which it can be a bit hard to see out in direct sunlight.
This is my opinion and my experience by using the pixel 7a in a week all these opinions might change if an update fixes it or after using it for more time so take my opinion and thoughts with a grain of salt since this is my experience with my pixel unit btw this is a Verizon model.
