With extension of ISP contract I got 7a for 270€ (before reading reviews). However, after few reviews phone will end up at ebay :/ 18W charging and those terrible battery times is a joke. Waiting for Nord 3 probably.

    Pixel 7 and 7a both have a similar size battery, 90 hz screen and Tensor 2 chip. How is the 7a battery worse then the 7 when the 7a has a smaller screen.

      That battery score is a big letdown. Even 6a did a lot better

        Battery life seems beyond terrible. Even 6a does much better but this is a total disappointment

              Samoderzhets , 27 May 2023I hope that it can be optimised by software updatesLol, software cannot fix tensynos.

                    Well, my phone does either bin to 12.5MP or bin to 50MP, depending on the time of the day.

                      The thing is Pixel 7 isn't 100€ more expansive as in the official price, it's only 38€ more expansive on German Amazon for instance.

                        dbjungle, 27 May 2023Agreed. If I didn't have any of these phones and just... moreSame here. I bought the 6a around 6 months ago for 200€ and I'm really not in a hurry to upgrade. Performance and battery life are totally fine. I would welcome improvements in terms of display (colorimetry) and camera (autofocus speed/accuracy) but I wont pay big money for that

                              Just needed to have voltage modification to be used .

                              Phones will never go back to bayer to avoid paying for better lenses.

                                dbjungle, 27 May 2023It's because MIUI is poop bro.nahh MIUI is far better than boring generic stock Android bro.

                                    I considered getting one but now I'm concerned..

                                    Bad battery life and slow charging is a bad combo.

                                    What good are a 90Hz screen and 5G if I have to switch them off to barely make the day?

                                        This should be a $250 dollar phone, maybe $300.
