# Google Pixel 7A Review: A Premium Device for Under ₹40,000

**Introduction**

It’s time to take a look at the Google Pixel 7A. Before we dive into the details, make sure to hit that like button if you enjoy Igan content—it helps with the algorithm a lot! Don’t forget to subscribe and turn on notifications for all updates. The Pixel 7A has officially launched in India, priced at ₹44,000. However, certain bank cards offer discounts, bringing it down to around ₹40,000. Interestingly, these offers are also available for the regular Pixel 7, which brings its price down to approximately ₹47-₹48,000. This makes the Pixel 7A a slightly lesser version of the Pixel 7 at a significantly lower price point.

**Key Differences Between Pixel 7A and Pixel 7**

The primary differences between the two devices include wireless charging speed, material quality, and IP ratings. The Pixel 7A supports 7.5W wireless charging, which is slower than what’s available on other premium devices. However, the fact that it includes wireless charging at all is a notable upgrade compared to previous models like the Pixel 6A.

In terms of build quality, the Pixel 7A features a plastic back panel instead of the glass panel found on the Pixel 7. Despite this change, the phone feels robust and doesn’t squeak, even with the plastic construction. Another key difference is the IP rating: the Pixel 7A has an IP67 rating, while the Pixel 7 boasts the higher IP68 rating.

**Display and Design**

On the front, the Pixel 7A packs a Full HD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. This ensures smooth scrolling and responsive interactions. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, offering durability against scratches and minor drops. The frame of the phone is made of metal, giving it a premium feel despite its budget-friendly price.

**Performance**

Under the hood, both the Pixel 7A and Pixel 7 are powered by Google’s Tensor G2 chip with the M2 Titan security core processor. This ensures seamless performance for all Android-specific applications and pixel-exclusive features. While it may not be as powerful as some other devices in its price bracket, the Tensor G2 chip delivers consistent performance for everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking.

**Battery Life**

The Pixel 7A comes with a 4030mAh battery, which should last you about a full day’s worth of use. On average, users can expect around three to four hours of screen-on time, depending on usage intensity. Those who primarily use their phones for calls and light tasks will likely experience longer battery life.

**Camera Upgrades**

The Pixel 7A sees an upgrade in its camera setup. It features a 64MP main camera capable of shooting 4K video at 60 frames per second. While the camera outputs images at 16MP, the larger sensor allows for better light capture and improved detail thanks to Google’s machine learning algorithms. This results in more precise and detailed photos compared to previous models like the Pixel 6A.

**Everyday Usability**

In day-to-day use, the Pixel 7A is highly responsive and offers excellent usability. It can handle high-intensity gaming and running multiple applications without any issues. The UI is fast and smooth, thanks to its core Android setup. Additionally, users can expect three years of guaranteed software updates, though Pixel devices often receive even more updates, including beta versions, over their lifetime.

**Comparison with Pixel 7**

While the Pixel 7A offers great value, it’s important to compare it with the standard Pixel 7. The latter excels in camera quality and video capabilities, thanks to its superior front-facing camera and image capture features. For those willing to spend an extra ₹7,000-₹8,000, the Pixel 7 is a significantly better choice.

**Conclusion**

If you’re looking for a device within the ₹40,000 price bracket that delivers a pure Android experience, premium build quality, and all the Google-specific features, the Pixel 7A is an excellent choice. With its new upgrades—wireless charging, IP67 rating, improved camera, and 90Hz display—it represents a significant leap over the Pixel 6A.

and make sure to hit that subscribe button along with the Bell notification icon turn to all notifications the pixel 7A has been launched in India for a price of 44 000 rupees certain bank cards will allow you to get the pixel for around 40 000 rupees but those offers are also available on the full size pixel not the full size but the regular pixel 7 and that will also get the pixel 7 down to around 47 48 000 rupees which is only 7000 rupees more than the pixel 7A which is a slightly lesser version than the pixel 7. so what's different we've got a slower wireless charging but the fact that we've got wireless charging is good so you've got 7.5 Watts you've also got a plastic back panel versus a glass panel that you see on the pixel 7. in terms of an IP rating you've also got an IP67 on the pixel 7A whereas the pixel 7 gets an ip68 there are also certain other smaller things that are different with respect to the pixel 7A but apart from these major features the devices are fairly similar on the front you've got a full HD Plus display this is an OLED display you get 90 Hertz of refresh rate and it's protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. the frame of the phone is made out of metal and the phone feels really robust and it doesn't squeak at all despite the plastic back panel but when you tap on it you definitely hear the plastic running everything this time around is the tensor G2 chip with the M2 Titan security core processor which is again the same as the pixel 7. so in terms of performance and capability along with all the Android specific applications that pixel devices are designed for and also certain pixel specific applications this device Works flawlessly for all of those things it's not as performant as some of the other devices that are available in this price bracket and that is just something that Google hasn't changed and that's because of the tensor G2 chip that they continue to use in their devices the pixel 7A also has a 4030 milliamp hour battery that will last you about a full day's worth of use giving you around three to four hours of screen on time on average depending on how heavy or how light your usage is if you're just using this phone for taking phone calls you'll get a much longer screen on time as far as the cameras are concerned you're getting an upgrade this time around you're getting a 64 megapixel main camera that is capable of shooting 4K video at 60 frames per second but this camera actually bends down to 16 megapixels so when you're capturing images you're only getting them at 16 megapixels using a 64 megapixel sensor means that they're able to get in more light from the camera sensor than obviously use a Google specific camera machine learning capabilities giving you pictures that are a lot more detailed and a lot more precise than you would see with say a Google pixel 6A Now using this phone in day to day you'll find that this phone is fairly responsive and the overall usability is good you're also able to use this for slightly higher end applications so if you want to play games high intensity games or run multiple applications the pixel 7A will run through those without any problems the UI is fast and responsive and that is due to it running basically core Android and you will also get lots of security updates over the years along with three years of promise software updates but pixel devices tend to get many more years including beta software updates out of the box the a series of devices from Google have remained uh thought of The Underdogs and people often prefer the standard pixels over the a series and this time around is no different for 7000 rupees more approximately of course you can get the pixel 7 for much lower if you hunt around but for 7000 rupees more you're getting a considerably better device the 7 however does a better job of camera as well as video capability and also has a better front-facing camera and image capture so the pixel 7 definitely is a better choice than the pixel 7A but if you're looking for just that 40 000 rupee price bracket device which gives you a pure Android experience and also a premium build quality along with all the Google features that are pixel specific the pixel 7A is the most obvious choice and with the new upgrades the wireless charging the ip6 E7 and a new camera along with the 90 Hertz display it is a pretty significant upgrade over the pixel 6A go check out the device we'll have it linked in the description below and if you guys want us to do a detailed long-term review of the pixel 7A and
