ICYMI: How does the Pixel 7a stack up against the Google Pixel 6a? Let's find out!
In real life, don't expect to notice a substantial difference either. Both phones are perfectly capable of running through your daily schedule with gusto, capably juggling between apps and activities. The only slight issue you might notice is in gaming: while neither phone will overheat during gaming, expect some frame drops during prolonged gaming sessions, as well as a big hit on your battery life.
Another difference between the Pixel 7a and the Pixel 6a is the amount of RAM on board - 8GB vs 6GB. That's a big leap in available memory which can potentially improve the multitasking prowess of the new device and make it way more future-proof. Both devices utilize dual-camera layouts at the back, pairing wide and ultra-wide lenses, but that's where most similarities end.
While the Pixel 6a relies on one of Google's favorite camera sensors which was used on many Pixel phones throughout the years, the Sony IMX363, the Pixel 7a will adopt a brand new sensor. A 64MP 1/1.7-inch Sony IMX787-powered camera will be carrying the torch for the Pixel 7a, a rather stark improvement over the 12.2MP 1/2.55-inch Sony IMX363 wide camera on the Pixel 6a.
While the resolution alone is a big enhancement of its own, the much larger new sensor could potentially vastly improve the low-light capabilities of the Pixel 7a. Considering Google's heavy reliance on advanced image-processing algorithms and artificial intelligence, we'd expect the Pixel 7a to punch way above its weight and rival way more expensive devices in the camera department. In broad daylight, you can expect mostly similar image quality from both phones.
