The Google Pixel 7a managed to beat out all of the phones you can get under $500

When you think of an affordable phone, you’re likely to envision a phone that’s low-quality. However, Google is looking to change that. The company has its line of premium Pixel phones, but it also has its more affordable Pixel “a” series phones. Well, the company’s Pixel Pixel 7a is the latest affordable phone from the company, and it’s been able to deliver the best experience in its price bracket.

Google’s Pixel “a” series phones typically wind up being the best in their price because the company focuses on creating a smooth and powerful experience. When you use this phone, you know that you’re using a device that’s a part of the Pixel ecosystem of devices. This means that it can connect seamlessly with other Pixel devices like the Pixel Buds.

The thing that makes this device so great is the fact that it does not feel like you’re using an affordable phone. From the moment you pick up the phone, you know that you’re holding a well-built device. It feels almost as premium as any premium Pixel phone. It’s not flimsy or thin like most other affordable phones.

Moving onto the screen, Google gave this phone a screen just as beautiful as the screen on its premium Pixel 7 phones. So, movies, TV shows, and other types of video content will look amazing on it. Google has been refining its display calibration over the years to deliver a truly great experience with well-balanced colors and great brightness. So, go ahead and binge-watch all of your favorite content.

The Pixel 7a is one of the most powerful phones in this price range.

A beautiful screen doesn’t mean anything if the performance is bad. The Pixel 7a is just as powerful as the $899 Pixel 7 Pro! It’s using the same hardware. Google delivered a truly flagship-grade experience in a package that’s substantially cheaper. Handling daily tasks and business are all as smooth as butter. You won’t find any stutters or lag throughout the software.

You’re more than able to use this phone for both work and play. If you need it to contact clients, organize your life, take pictures, play games, or do any other task. You can expect a smooth experience.

Speaking of taking pictures, there’s no doubt that this has the best camera of any phone in this price range. Google’s phones deliver some of the best results that you can get from a phone. The Pixel 7a is using pretty good hardware, but the main driving force behind it is the image processing. Pixel phones have the power of Google’s superior AI image processing that helps create some amazing images.

The Pixel 7a checks so many boxes when it comes to its build quality, display, performance, and camera. This is why it earned the Android Headlines’ award for best budget phone.
