I bet you're worried about buying a Google Pixel 7, aren't you? Scared off by stories of reliability issues? Well, don't be.
I bet you’re worried about buying a Google Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, or Pixel 7a, aren’t you? There are some nasty horror stories about terrible reliability out there, and they’re enough to send many potential buyers screaming into the waiting arms of a Samsung Galaxy S23 or an iPhone 14 Pro, each ready to provide comfort with their solid dependability.
Related No problems, really? When I was reviewing the Pixel 7, I often spoke to Digital Trends’ Mobile Editor Joe Maring about the phone, as he was using a Pixel 7 Pro. The problems he described to me sounded alien, as I hadn’t experienced any of them. I actually went out of my way to replicate the more serious ones by repeating similar actions or using certain apps. When I review a phone, I don’t often go looking for problems — I use them normally and see what transpires.
The Pixel 7a isn’t any different I’m writing this a week into using the Pixel 7a as my everyday phone with my main SIM card inside. I’ve used it for all the usual things — photos, calls, social media, browsing, apps, games, and navigation — and I’ve been waiting for it to go wrong. Had Google’s elves picked another phone off the line for me, ensuring I continue to feel like one of life’s winners.
Like the other Pixel 7 models, the Pixel 7a gets pretty warm under load, and the battery life isn’t the best. But I’m definitely getting longer life than some of the reviews I’ve seen, with three hours of screen time seeing the battery last almost two days. These are issues likely exasperated by the Tensor G2 processor, and while annoying, they aren’t things that have made me want to stop using any of the Pixel 7 phones.
