Ever since the Pixel 7a launched, it’s been embroiled in a sibling rivalry with the Pixel 7. The 2022 flagship is still months away from a replacement (expected in October), but this old dog can still draw crowds with the its competitive price.
In the US, Google has paired the Pixel 7 with A-series Pixel Buds in a combination priced at just $500. We’ll see the 7a offerings shortly, but this combination is only $50 more expensive than the midrange phone alone.
In the UK and Germany, Google has decided to pair the Pixel 7 with the more expensive Pixel Buds Pro, which drives up the price of the combination, perhaps too high.
You can also pick up the Pixel 7 on its own to save some cash, especially if you already have headphones you like.
Now here is the Pixel 7a. In the US it’s a 10% discount, bringing the final price down to $450.
In Europe, Amazon has made a combined deal: Pixel 7a, a 30W Google charger and an official silicone case.
If you want an affordable Pixel phone, check out the Pixel 6a. The older model means you’ll miss out on many of the upgrades the 7a got: not only does it use the older Tensor chipset, it also has a 60Hz display (up from 90Hz) and an older 12MP camera (up from 64MP), it also lacks wireless charging. And while all of these are arguments in favor of the 7a, the Pixel 6a has a strong argument in its corner: it costs significantly less.
We will conclude with the flagship model of the family, the Google Pixel 7 Pro. The price in the US is comparable to that of the Galaxy S23 and S23+ despite having advantages such as a QHD+ LTPO display and a periscope lens.
Note that the prices above are for the 12/128GB model, that’s how much the 12/256GB model costs (not part of the Prime Day deals in Germany).
