The package of Pixel 7a looks like this. Pixel 7a has four colors: ``Sea'', ``Snow'', ``Charcoal'' and ``Coral'', and this time we will use ``Sea''.



The package contained the Pixel 7a main unit, USB cable, USB conversion connector, and small box.



Also in the small box was a quick start guide, safety instructions, and a pin for the SIM card tray.



Pixel 7a has a display resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a size of 6.1 inches. The refresh rate is up to 90Hz.



It has a unique camera bar on the back.



The rear camera is equipped with a 64-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera.



There is a SIM card tray on the left side.



Power button and volume button on the right side.



The bottom has a USB Type-C port.



Only the antenna line and the microphone hole are arranged on the top surface, and the buttons are not installed.



The dimensions of Pixel 7a were 152.0 mm in length × 72.9 mm in width × 9.0 mm in thickness, and the actual weight was 191 g.



When Pixel 7a (left), Pixel 7 (center), and Pixel 7 Pro (right) are arranged side by side, it looks like this. You can see that Pixel 7a is the smallest of the three models.



The back looks like this.



Focusing on the camera bar, you can see that the Pixel 7a has a smaller protrusion than the other two models.



When approaching the camera bar part, it looks like this. When using the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, there are times when your fingers get caught on the protrusion on the back and it's uncomfortable, but the Pixel 7a seems to be comfortable to use because the protrusion is small.



The selling price of Pixel 7a at the Google official store is 62,700 yen including tax, which is nearly 20,000 yen cheaper than the Pixel 7 of 82,500 yen including tax. The performance difference between Pixel 7a and Pixel 7 is thoroughly verified at the following link.
