The Google Pixel 7a made us fall in love with it, and it looks like our readers feel the same way

It’s the end of the year, and it’s time to do a wrap on some of the best phones we’ve seen these past 365 days. There were a ton of amazing affordable phones that came out over 2023, but one phone seemed to resonate the most with our readers, and that’s the Google Pixel 7a.

Many of our readers most likely purchased this phone when it launched earlier this year. If you’re looking to pick up a Pixel 7a for yourself, you won’t be sorry. This handset was able to bring the best Pixel experience for its price, and it definitely outshined other phones in the same bracket.

The thing that makes this phone incredible is the attention and care that Google had put into this phone to give you the best Pixel experience at $500. Both the hardware and software are developed by Google, so you know that it’s designed to work seamlessly and smoothly. It uses the same hardware powering the amazing Pixel 7 Pro, and it’s in a $500 phone!

This means that it’s going to be incredibly powerful, as we’re talking about flagship-level hardware. Not only that, but Google is a huge AI company. The Pixel 7 Pro was one of the smartest phones on the market because of the powerful artificial intelligence that comes on the chip. Well, you’re getting that same chip this time around.

We can’t forget about that screen

This phone has a screen that’s comfortably small, but it’s still able to give you a top-notch viewing experience. Google gave this one of its amazing screens. Google used the same screen in this phone that it used with the Pixel 7. However, it just won’t be as silky smooth. Anyway, this screen is still beautiful. Whatever you’re watching on this phone will pop. It doesn’t matter if you’re watching movies, TV shows, or videos, you’re going to have a great time. Google calibrated the display to be one to beat.

What’s a Pixel if not a great camera phone?

We can’t talk about the Pixel 7a without talking about the amazing camera experience. Pixel phones are known for their superior cameras, and this phone is no exception. No doubt, the Pixel 7a has one of the best cameras of any phone of this price, if not the best.

Using Google’s amazing image processing capabilities, this phone produces results that will impress anyone. It’s truly a fantastic camera for both well-lit and low-light shots. If you’re a person who wants a powerful camera experience in your phone, then the Pixel 7a’s camera is for you.

Take those aspects and bundle them with great speakers and battery performance, and you have the best phone that you can get for only $500. This is why the Pixel 7a won the AH Reader’s Choice Award.
