    Imho pixel 7a is a good phone, but not a flagship killer or a best buy compared to others. I would like to prefer this one, but honestly A54 has better specs in camera and battery. The OS more or less is the same ( with the Samsung improvement.

I'm not sure what you mean by quad pixel and dual pixel. Dual pixel is only used in context with dual pixel autofocus where every pixel has two autofocus sensors.

          Note that the main camera has a Quad Pixel sensor (similar to Dual Pixel sensor) and not a Quad Bayer sensor. It's surprising that certain smartphones can take decent high resolution photos with Quad Pixel sensors because this isn't possible with Dual Pixel sensors. Anyway, you can't expect that zoom photos or high resolution modes from a Quad Pixel sensor are as good as from a Quad Bayer sensor. They behave physically different due to the different size of the microlenses.

                  Tech companies pushing foldable phones to make money. My life complete without....foldable tablet makes more sense...oh well. Sure it weighs too much.

                    I find it hard to believe that this is much more manageable then the regular 7 when it's barely any smaller.

                    Seriously, half a mm narrower, 3mm shorter and a few grams lighter, smaller screen and worse screen to body ratio then the phone it replaces.

                    Google missed a trick here.

                        "and the camera doesn't automatically apply beauty filters to your face or the moon"

                        Ouch. With generative AI being so hot. I think they will start generating your face to make you look like a model. Instant Instagram wins.

                                    I will only by a Google Pixel Phone when they improve charging speed. The reason why I still stick with BBK because of fast charging. Imo a phone should charge 0-80% in 30 minutes at least

                                        It's weird. So many hands on reviews on YouTube says that this phone is top for the price and it works like a charm but here all comments are negative and I guess none has it.
