Yes. Google is selling it, unlocked, for 349$ in the US, before trade-ins. At this price, it beats ALL of the competition in the sub 550$ phone market, all in all.

Very happy with my 7A, especially the camera. I can take photos in very low light. I do wish that the battery lasted a bit longer, but I know that it's working hard and I use it a lot for navigation and games, so I cannot really fault the battery life too much.

Just got the S24 Ultra, glad I can spend the extra buck, but if I was in the market for a budget phone this would definitely seem like a very good option, crazy how good the budget phones have gotten.

I got mine with Black Friday pricing at $374 and so far very happy with it. It replaced my Pixel 3A which worked great for about 4 and a half years. It comes with 5 years of security updates and 3 years of OS updates and I hope it's as reliable as my old one for that long. One feature nobody mentions is the fingerprint resistant glass. I think that's amazing and I love the camera!

Is it still worth it? Jesus Christ, it was released less than a year ago.

Great Video
Just wanted to ask how does it compare to the Pixel 8 as far The Camera is Concerned ?

What do you think. Should I get the Pixel 7 or the 7a. It's around the same price here.

[homer]

Definitely worth it in 2024. It gets security update until 2028! That's another four years! If you only watch youtube, check email, amazon purchase, or online banking this is all you need, really. You don't really need those 1k smartphones.

One of the problem with this phone is the front camera, the over processing is way too much. The faces are bizarrely cartoonish most of the time. Wish it has the option to turn the processing off. The battery life... eh it is what it is. Definitely not a gaming phone.

Im on my 7a in the coal colorway and this phone is better than my iphone 14 that i switched from because i broke mine beyond repair and needed a replacement and honestly not going back to apple its that damn good everything is better

[etataba]

I got one for around $311 from where I come from, hoping its worth it

[Marty-jwoo]

:) THANKS for sharing! Just got one for $350 :)

Everyone always bangs on about the camera. Doesn't anyone love the Google assistant integration, voice to text, etc. Like I do

3:11 camera mod when you record ??? can you say about this 😢

[emward]

Its great value as its £299 in the uk now

[leopascual]

could you test it in social media apps?

[wmonkey]

I love everything about the pixels... except I'm also an avid gamer.. and these phones overheat and only run games at the lowest settings

[sawinwens]

If Google pixel came with snapdragon, it would no doubt be the best phone and with good battery life.

[Chrisferatu]

I can't not recommend this pixel enough! It's not worth 500 dollars, it's like worth 79! It's like having a TracFone LG all over again! The battery is terrible, terrible signal, 5g sub-6 is very slow, got the sub-6 GWKK3 variant which is the bad one, sluggish, bad selifes and videos, it's just horrible. I switched to an A54, still bad, but not as bad as this.

Any modem issues? My pixel 7 kept dropping mobile connectivity.
