4.3 stars for a phone with just 76 hours battery life in 2023??? What is this gsmarena? You gave only 4.1 stars to Poco F5 which has miles better processor and battery life. You always overrate pixel, despite Google's insistence in continuation of using the worst of the worst CPU and fingerprint sensor available. Poco phones never get these two things wrong, despite costing much less. As always, you keep using this arbitrary and scammy "muh UI" and "muh software updates" phrase as an excuse, despite the fact that one can change software by means of custom ROM, but hardware CANNOT be changed! You cannot improve tensynos and fingerprint scanner with software but you certainly can improve MIUI (EU ROM) or just get an AOSP custom ROM, resting on proper, high quality hardware. Moreover, can you even tell apart Android 12, 13 and 14 beta in daily use, despite over-emphasizing software updates? Only thing going for pixel is camera, but even that is tackled well by other devices in competition, and even surpassed when GCam is used if sensor is larger.
Google's hardware quality is the worst of the worst in the world. The worst hardware in any phones in production today are: pixel 7/pro/a!

507AMS, 27 May 2023...looking at the Pixel 7a's cons list, the POCO F5 se... moreF5's camera is pretty capable, not processed as Pixel but it does the job, and I have a dslr for backup.

...looking at the Pixel 7a's cons list, the POCO F5 seems a better option...I'm not photograph addict (in my case 99% of taken photos are sent via IM apps)...for me this Pixel 7a has too many sacrifices just to get a clean Android experience, extended OS support and "not so perfect" photo quality experience...

Google certainly isn't getting the software/hardware synergy right if battery life is that poor. It's weird that the 7a has a poorer battery life than the 7 when it's essentially the same phone. I think they've put a cheaper modem chip in our something like that. Someone on YT said that poor cell reception and connectivity was eating up the battery life.

Wew. On my quest of finding the upgrade for my aging Redmi Note 10 Pro, the Pixel 7a just failed as an alternative. So far the F5 is winning.

There is wrong information about HDR support in Amazon Prime Video. My Pixel 7 Pro does not support HDR in prime video.

DorinN, 26 May 2023Right! This is a big NO for me. It's especially weird because the regular 7 can do 96 hours but this being almost the same phone did much lower in battery endurance

So many disadvantages:
Lo internal Rom without micro SD card slot expansion, no good battery life, small screen. I wouldn't buy it.
