    Additional review notes:
    So the Pixel 7A has been getting a lot of hype being the sequel to pretty much the best midrange phone last year, the 6A.
    P7A is not the only A phone you need to consider. You didn’t think Samsung would miss out on this party, did you? Samsung launched their midrange just a few weeks ago, the A54
    Competes with flagships for half the price
    $449 vs $499
    They offer a lot for that money, but they do so in very different ways
    So let’s take a deeper look at the two best midrange phones of 2023. Now I say best midrange, but really, they are the best smart purchases
    DESIGN
    Both IP67
    A54 is taller, slimmer, and heavier
    A54 has plastic frame and glass front/back
    P7A has aluminum frame & plastic back
    Both glossy
    4 colors each
    A54 has SD card slot
    Pixel has wireless charging
    6.1” vs 6.4”
    90Hz vs adaptive 120
    Similar peak brightness
    Super AMOLED vs OLED
    Nobody comes close to samsung with displays, but if there’s one thing pixels do well
    CAMERAS
    Should we even talk about megapixels?
    A54 has 3 vs 2
    Pixel vs A54
    64MP vs 50MP
    13MP ultrawide vs 12MP
    Nice empty space vs 5MP macro
    13MP selfie vs 32MP
    SPEED
    App open test
    Pixel chip is much more powerful
    Same as P7Pro
    8 vs 6/8gb ram
    128 vs 128/256gb
    A54 should have a longer battery life
    A54 gets 4 android versions, P7A gets 3
    Both get 5 yrs of security updates
    PROS: P7a
    No bloatware, light pixel interface, great pixel features for calling, great camera system, faster chip, wireless charging. Basically the Pixel 7.
    A54 has better display, longevity, battery life, premium glass back, and samsung features

I think it's sold in a maximum of 20 countries... and where I live, importing a Pixel is a complete madness. You end up paying the price of an S23 or iPhone 14 for a $499 device.

    First, I bought a Pixel 7a to replace my Pixel 6 because it was supposed to have a better cell reception, and fingerprint scanner. Plus, face recognition to boot! Well, I paid $450 for it, and I personally didn't see that improvement, and the face recognition fairly often said, not enough light. So, I started checking out the A54, and found one on Amazon during Prime Day for $328 with a written free return. I jumped on it, and was very surprised, in a good way. It's not as speedy, but it is very fluid and enjoyable to use. Geekbench 6 results were 23% slower in single thread, and only 13% slower in multi-threading, but in real world feedback I don't feel it at all. It unlocks on command every time, has a brighter screen that is very aesthetic and just offers a reliable feel every single time I use it. Overall, it's a joy to use, and I do not miss the Pixel's extra horsepower at all.

    Why does everybody hate the macro lenses? I had to buy a set of lenses to use macro, and macro is the only one that's worth using.
    The fisheye is useless because there's so much distortion. The wide angle is fine, but it's not worth carrying an extra lens; I only use the one built into my new phone once in a while for to get all of something in a picture from close quarters. Landscapes get lost in it.
    The macro, I can use to read microscopic text on packaging, get super close to bugs to better identify, get some really nice and soft ambient photos for my desktop background, etc. There's so many uses.

    • @MainInternetUser

      On budget and midrange phones macro lenses are just a way to make it seem like it has more cameras. Usually they are terrible quality and useless, the ultra wide lenses often take much better quality macro shots (that's what's done on flagships) no wonder they only put them on cheap phones and put telephotos (which are way more useful) on the more expensive phones

    I like the Pixel phone, but I had to buy the A54 because there is no warranty for Pixel in Sri Lanka, and the signal coverage in our country is really bad. Pixels have signal issues, so if I bought a Pixel, I might end up with a phone that can't even make a phone call. Nowadays, 1 USD equals 320 Sri Lankan rupees, so I would have to pay 320 times the dollar amount. If there is no warranty, I would end up losing a lot of money. The Pixel is a great phone that offers premium features, a great software experience, and a better camera.

      Don't forget that the a54's battery is leaps and bounds superior to the Pixel 7. Pixel 7 battery life is borderline unacceptable. Even with the adaptive settings, it's shockingly poor. No doubt it will be much worse after 6 to 12 months of use. Then you have the poor fingerprint reader and average screen. The only compromise is some speed and camera which are all marginal. The a54 makes a much superior all-round package of a phone. Better screen, better battery, more premium build and ip68.

    Pixels are basically perfect for me. They have great cameras, good enough SoC, long software support, and great price. That 600-700 savings from the flagships is awesome and the diminishing returns are minimal.

    All our carriers have the A54 on a crazy deal right now, only $10/mth for 24 months, so it ends up only costing $240+tax compared to the pixel 7a being $25/mth=$600. But I'm really concerned about longevity with the A54. I want my next phone to last 4 years just like my s10+ has. I don't think the A54 has the processor to do that. Seems like a no brainer with that price difference, but I know the pixel will perform better long term so it's difficult.

    I got both phones because I couldn't decide...a week later I still don't know what one to pick but I'm leaning to the A54 because I watch everything on my phone. The A54 has a way better screen and awesome speaker. I like the wireless charging of the 7a but I don't have to charge the A54 until I get home, the battery is that good. As far as performance I really don't see a massive difference between the two. đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

Maybe the A34 is still better for gaming, I'm not sure lol. I just wish the next A5 series use snapdragon chipset, sure exynos is not as bad as it used to but still.

      A lot of people tend to dismiss the important of OS update. A54 is an investment phone for productivity use. You can save your money by using it up to 5 years as samsung provides 4 years OS update and 5 years security update. For other A samsung phone, sure it is fun on first 2 years. After that, good luck on getting the OS update.

    The downside of the Pixel is the support. Its not supported in many countries, you will lose a ton of features like VoWIFI, VoLTE, 5G, etc. Not to mention, not supported country means no repairability. I'm only scraping the bottom there are ton more features disabled when you're in a country that does not support a pixel. Ton of reviewers forget about this. The phone market isn't just the US, or some mainstream part of EU.
    When reviewing support take in mind of other COUNTRIES.

    The A54 has dual sim capabilities & a microSD card slot. Not only that, you can buy it for $380 today new, factory unlocked, delivered to your home. The 7a is $500 + sales tax. And since it's primarily available through carriers & Google, you can't get the lower pricing you can get on the A54. This puts them in completely different categories. In the real world, the 7A is 32% more expensive, doesn't come with dual sim, and doesn't have expandable storage. Plus is doesn't come with Secure Folder which is the killer feature of Samsung phones.
