    Ive had the 7a now for about a month. It is a solid choice. Good software. Absolutely great camera and camera software for the price. Ok screen (Not as bright as my previous phone). The camera bridge can get scratched easily, so get a phone case as soon as possible (Dont even have it in your pocket without first putting on a phone case, preferably with a slider infront of camera). Big advice though, as soon as you get it, google "best settings for 7a", "best hidden functions 7a" etc. The phone/screen/battery is so much better if you know a few hidden settings (developer), for example 90fps instead of 60, turning off hidden useless functions that drain battery (the battery is actually quite good with the right settings). With the right settings the phone goes from "ok" to "great value at its price point". All that said, highly recommended (with the right settings on/off)

I've missed the power of the Pixel's call screening (The Pixel 2XL had great call sceening) and am excited to see whats new and improved with Pixel's software.

    Matt thank you for the excellent video. I must say I think it also depends what phone you are coming from. First off, I want to say I love Apple phones but after 9 years of Apple you need a change. Came from the iPhone 11 to the Pixel 7a and I must say it was like a breath of fresh air. From the ability to customize the widgets on the phone, to the build in features of screening callers this phone is amazing@! I just got the phone today and I already unlocked most of the features since I am a bit of a tech guy, mostly for P.C. But I think most Apple iPhone user if they ever tried out any of the Pixel phones, I think most would agree that the Pixel phone is an excellent phone to buy. I decided to try out the phone since it is based on A.I. tech and I could had purposed the 8 but I figured since A.I. technology is relatively very new especially for phones I figured I will purchase an A.I. phone later on when the A.I. tech is a little more stable. Right now, A.I. is pretty much within the Beta stages in development. Great video and thanks!

    I have samsung m21. Looking for a better phone. Found this one. Fits my needs perfectly. Remembered that I have recently bought samsung smarttag(s) 2. Googled if they are compatible with google pixel. Frick they aren't. So I'm stuck with a samsung phone for now(I use them too frequently to just sell them and buy a pixel). I will probably go for a samsung a35 or a55 if they will differ more significantly than the last gen but I will miss the smaller size, slow but still useful wireless charging, better camera and pixel-exclusive features... Or I'm looking for a used samsung s23 but unless I find a quite rare deal for it to be in my price range that won't going to happen... Just my mind rn...

    I just bought the pixel 7a 5 days back, I dont know why when I am laying down my phone flat on table or bed the screen is less reponsive and looses touch, I do have a screen guard on but I have also tried to make the screen smoother function on in settings which is making the touch extra sensitive and when typing or using the touch it doubles the selection. What should I do?

    @@BubatzBoss 1. **More Detail**: A higher megapixel count means the sensor captures more detail, providing more data points for the image processing algorithms, potentially leading to better results. 2. **Better Zoom**: More megapixels can improve digital zoom. When you zoom in on a photo, you're essentially cropping the image. Having more megapixels means you can crop in closer while still maintaining good image quality. 3. **Improved Low Light Performance**: More megapixels can contribute to improved performance in low light conditions. The algorithms can use the additional data to better reduce noise and enhance details. 4. **Advanced Features**: More megapixels can enable advanced features like computational photography. For example, Google's Super Res Zoom technology uses the slight hand movements of the user when they take a photo to gather more data, which can be used to enhance the resolution of zoomed photos. 5. **Flexibility in Post-Processing**: More megapixels offer more flexibility in post-processing. You can crop, zoom, and manipulate the image in various ways without losing too much quality.

    I have been using this phone the moment it came out, preordered it and got it delivered when it hit the shelves if not earlier. I can vouch for most of the things Matt has mentioned in this review which is quite comprehensive and covers basically all aspects of this phone. Where I disagree with Matt is the battery life and face unlock on this phone. Battery life is ok at best on this phone, I am not a heavy user. I do not play games on this phone or watch videos and use it without 5G for most part but it still struggles to last a full day. I have to charge it midday most of the days. The face unlock does work but only when there is ample light, as soon as it gets dark the face unlock would be like it was nice knowing you i'll see you during daylight tomorrow. Apart from these two points, this review is spot on and the phone itself is not bad. If you can live with subpar charging speeds, below average battery life and okish face unlock then this phone is actually a nice budget phone with camera (stills not video) and software being its greatest strength.
