Google has been betting for several years now on the creation of its own smartphone division. Since the conversion from Nexus to Pixel, the reach of this family of devices has increased, which are also on sale in Europe after a few more erratic years. Last year, not only the top of the range, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, but also the mid-range model, the Pixel 7a, were presented.
This terminal went through our analysis table and was a total surprise, because it took everything good about the Pixel 6a and corrected the few flaws of this model, such as battery life or the lack of wireless charging. Of course, this made everything better at the cost of increasing prices. Before its presentation we bet that it would be the mobile of the year and we were not wrong.
Now that rumors about the imminent launch of the Pixel 8a have exploded, Google has seen fit to officially discount the Pixel 7a, with an offer of no less than 130 dollars in its official store. In this way, this model remains at 379 dollars. This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen last year, but we have to keep in mind that To this price is added 50 dollars of credit that Google gives to spend in its store, which allows you to buy a case, a Chromecast HD or, by spending a few dollars more, a smart speaker or a Chromecast 4K. It is also available at El Corte Inglés for 389 dollars and on Amazon for 368 dollars, but in both cases without a gift voucher.
The perfect mid-range
This terminal has become one of those that we have most recommended for several reasons, among which highlights battery and wireless charging, in addition to the camera. This model has more autonomy than other models of its price, although the real difference is being able to charge it wirelessly at home or in the car.
Furthermore, The camera system is one of the best in the mid-range. Google has always stood out in this regard and the Pixel 7a is no exception. This mobile takes better photos than some high-end models, as was seen in the blind test carried out by the popular YouTuber MKBHD.
The Pixel 7a also has a much better update policy than the rest of the terminals, beyond the most expensive ones, like Samsung’s Galaxy S. The screen has more than adequate brightness and the Android version is very refined, as befits the Pixel. In addition, with the 50 dollars of credit that Google gives us, we can buy an official case.
If this model is a little short for you too The Pixel 8 Pro is available on Amazon with a discount of 300 dollars, priced at 799 dollars. It is more powerful, has better cameras and a better screen, but its value for money, although excellent, does not reach that of the Pixel 7a.
