You know that adage, “you get what you pay for.” Well, it’s not always true. With Google’s new Pixel 7A phone, you get more than you pay for, compared with other phones.
At $499, the 6.1-inch Pixel 7A is $100 less than the 6.3-inch Pixel 7 and $400 less than the 6.7-inch Pixel Pro. In terms of screen size, the 7A is more than big enough. It fits in my hand better than the 7 and the 7 Pro. The 7A is bigger and a lot less expensive than the iPhone 14, which starts at $799. It’s also less expensive than most Samsung phones. Size is only one of several things to consider when buying a phone, but larger phones typically cost more than smaller ones.
Android vs. iOS
There are people who dismiss Android phones, because they are wedded to iOS and the Apple eco-system. I get it. Apple does a great job integrating its products, making it easy to go back and forth among their phones, laptops, watches and tablets. But Google is starting to create its own eco-system with its Pixel watch, Fitbit trackers, Nest hubs and the recently announced Pixel Tablet. Samsung also has a suite of products designed to keep its customers loyal, but truth be told, it’s not that hard to switch between products from these companies. With the exception of Apple’s own apps, there are Android versions of most iOS apps.
