GooglePixel 7a - Unlocked Android Cell Phone - Smartphone with Wide Angle Lens and 24-Hour Battery - 128 GB – CharcoalECOLOGOECOLOGO

I have been a pixel user since the original pixel. Came from BB's prior to that. I also use iPhones for work but still prefer android and have always loved the simplicity of the pixels.Prior to this 7a i had pixel 4a's for me and my wife (and a pixel 5 for work). The 'a' line has been a great compromise of value for dollars with the great Google camera. That is the main selling point of the pixels, though that has become more of an even playing field in newer versions with competitors.The pixel 7a was a great phone that i used daily and have passed onto my wife now for her daily (I upgraded to an 8 now). The battery life, image quality (screen) and form factor are great.I really appreciated the small bump on the 7a over the 7/7pro. It was easy for find a nice case that pretty much made the back camera bump go away. This is useful if you slide your phone in/out of pants pockets daily.The phone is still going strong even with the latest Android 16. It does not to appear to have impacted it's performance like you see happen alot with iPhones and new OS versions pushed to them (planned obsolescence?).The only weird thing we have seen lately is the pixel 7a with iOS 16 has been having issues with our Tesla lately where the phone will randomly not be recognized as a Tesla key. I've seen other rumors of this online so wondering if it is a combination of hardware and os upgrades causing this. Doesn't seem to have this issue with my pixel 8 and os 16.Still a great value phone if you can find it new or in good shape.

Got for my 13 year old daughter. Way better than other phones in this price range. Very fast, magnificent camera and great battery life even for her who is buried in it nearly every waking moment of her life. lol.

READ THE UPDATE FOR FULL REVIEW SO FARSurprisingly good- To be honest I thought it'd have problems-minor and major. But so far there is none. Lots of the reviews say things like it overheats, the fingerprint scanner doesn't always work, and so on. But I was surprised when none of that happened on this phone. In fact, my old phone (which was also used) was horrible. It had the typical used phone problems. Horrible battery life, it overheated, the power button was broken, it froze, it didn't always charge, and so on. I was expecting at least SOME of these problems in this phone. But there is NONE. Anyway, (I'm sure you can tell by my review already) I think it is totally worth spending 300-400 bucks on this phone. I'll soon leave an update with some pros and cons (as of now there is no cons).EDIT/UPDATE- (please be sure to read the last paragraph)Everything I stated earlier is true- and it still works. But now there's a problem. Every time I try to download something, it won't work. It'll say, "please enter your password". Well, I did, and it said it was wrong. To verify that this was true, I tried using the same exact password for my gmail, and guess what? It worked.Still determined, I changed my password. I wrote it down so I could remember it. Once that was accomplished, I was like, "yay, now I'm in the PlayStore". But then, when I tried to download an app, guess what? It asked for that same password. And ok, I'll just put it in. I mean, I just changed it, so the password was written down right in front of me. And when I put it in, it was incorrect. I put it in again. Incorrect. Again. Incorrect. And so on. I also tried putting this password in on my gmail, and yes, it worked.Even if I was doing the wrong password, I changed the one that it needed. Whatever password it asked for, I changed. So if I put it in, it should have worked. But it didn't.It is not just downloading apps. Ever since I signed in to my account on the phone, the fingerprint sensor stopped working. And that was such a bummer, because it had been really useful. One tap, and you are in your phone. But now I have to type in my password, which takes up more time. Of course, who cares, but it's worth mentioning. Anyway, YouTube, which comes installed, didn't work either once I signed in. It, just like everything else, needed the password that was right but the phone denied. Also, the PlayStore wouldn't have worked either, if it wasn't for the time I changed my password (if you change your password, the first time should definitely work). That is pretty much it, but not being able to install apps is a big deal.Because of this, I went to three different AT&T's. The first two didn't do much except for send me to a different location. But at the third one, we stayed for an hour. We reseted passwords, changed them, everything we could think of. But it still failed to work. Anyway, I'm gonna try a few last resorts before I do something about this. But I hope it won't come to returning it. Everything on the phone is great; it's like new. I will try everything I can to keep this phone.Also, this is on a child gmail. My daughter is older than 13, and everyone said it would change to a regular account once she turned 13. But no, that didn't happen. I checked the birthdate listed, and it is correct. So I am not sure if this is the phone's problem, or gmail's (which is why I didn't give it a lower review). Anyway if anything changes I'll write it here and explain how to resolve it.

Great cover fits my phone perfect

This is an excellent phone and I couldn't tell that it had ever been opened or used. It sure seems to be new. Pixel phones are known for their great cameras and this one is no exception. I'm a photographer from way back and this phone won't replace my DSLR or mirrorless cameras, but it's way better than the cameras built into most low or mid-priced phones. Lots of camera features that will keep you busy learning them all.The phone's processor seems fast to me, there's little or no lag bringing up apps or videos. The phone's signal strength is good. Where I live, the nearest tower is not close enough to provide a strong signal throughout the house, but the Pixel handles it nicely. The battery doesn't last quite as long as my last phone, a mid-priced Samsung. But then again, the more powerful processor probably explains a lot of that. And it always has something displayed on the screen, even when it goes into sleep mode it shows a clock and a couple other indicators like the date, outside temperature and remaining charge.I'm satisfied with my purchase and yes, I recommend this phone if you want a premium phone without the 4 figure price tag.
