There are two new Pixel phones in town, the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, succeeding last year’s Pixel 6 series. The two are pretty similar to their predecessors but do come with some upgrades. Google also launched one more Pixel earlier this year, the Pixel 6a, a much more affordable version of last year’s Pixel 6.
While the Pixel 7 Pro is a pricier affair with all the features a Pixel can have, the Pixel 7 is a much simpler one, closer to the Pixel 6a, in terms of features and price, especially in India. So, which one – Pixel 7 or Pixel 6a – should you buy in India? Let us help you decide.
Google Pixel 7 vs Pixel 6a: Design
The two have a similar design – a camera visor with two-tone rear – but some differences exist. The Pixel 7 has a glass rear, while the 6a has a plastic back. Though the Pixel 6a is a little smaller than the Pixel 7. Further, the Pixel 7 has an IP68 rating, whereas the 6a has an IP67 rating.
Google Pixel 7 vs Pixel 6a: Display
The Pixel 7 and Pixel 6a have flat OLED panels with a centered punch-hole cutout, but they vary in size. The Pixel 7 has a 6.3-inch display, and the display Pixel 6a measures 6.1-inches. The one significant difference between the two is the refresh rate – the OLED panel on the Pixel 7 has a refresh rate of 90Hz, while the Pixel 6a has a rather disappointing 60Hz refresh rate.
Google Pixel 7 vs Pixel 6a: Performance
Google’s latest Pixel – the Pixel 7 (and 7 Pro) comes with the new chipset – Tensor G2, while the first-gen Tensor chip powers the Pixel 6a.
The new Tensor G2 has been fabbed on Samsung’s 4nm process node; not a vast improvement, though. The Tensor G2 has the same architecture as the first-gen Tensor – 2x Cortex-X1 + 2x A76 and 4x A55; the cores have a slightly higher clock speed.
The new Mali-G710 MC10 GPU promises a 35% boost for machine learning tasks and improves graphical performance.
The new Tensor processing claims to run machine learning tasks 60% faster with 20% more efficiently. If you are wondering how this new Tensor core comes into the big picture, it is responsible for Photo Unblur, a feature exclusive to the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.
As for storage configuration, the Pixel 7 comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. Meanwhile, the Pixel 6a offers 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
Google Pixel 7 vs Pixel 6a: Camera
The Pixel 7 features a 50-megapixel wide camera capable of f/1.85 aperture, an 82-degree field of view, and LDAF. Meanwhile, the Pixel 6a comes with a 12.2MP wide camera having an aperture of f/1.7 and 77 degrees of view. The two have the same 12MP ultrawide camera. However, the Pixel 7 has a 10.8MP front camera, while the Pixel 6a has an 8MP front camera.
The Pixel 7 have some new camera features as well such as Photo Unblur, Guided Frame, Cinematic Blur, with improved 2x zoom and Real Tone filters.
Google Pixel 7 vs Pixel 6a: Price in India
The Pixel 7 comes with a retail price of Rs 59,999 in India, though it is available for Rs 49,999 during pre-orders after applying bank offers. Meanwhile, the Pixel 6a, launched at Rs 43,999, is now available for Rs 34,199.
