How does the upcoming Pixel 7a stack up against the Google Pixel 6a? Let's find out!
Being a direct successor to the Pixel 6a but also drawing lots of inspiration from the new Pixel 7 family as well, the Pixel 7a is a phone that carries that unmistakable Pixel DNA in itself. Little has changed, and yet it's dead-easy to tell the difference between the new and the old generation.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 6a came with the Tensor G1 chipset, which actually isn't that far off from its successor. What are the main differences between the two chips? Not that many, actually: both the Tensor G1 and G2 come with a 2+2+4 chipset configuration, consisting of two high-performance ARM Cortex-X1 cores and four Cortex-A55 ones. Yet, the Tensor G1 uses the Cortex-A76 mid-range cores, while the Tensor G2 has the slightly faster Cortex-A78 cores.
Aside from the increase in memory, we don't expect an improvement in the available storage. 128GB of native on-board storage is all you get. No microSD card on deck, so you will have to either carefully manage your storage or rely on a cloud-based storage service to facilitate your needs. Both devices utilize dual-camera layouts at the back, pairing wide and ultra-wide lenses, but that's where most similarities end.
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 surpass the Pixel 6a's photographic prowess.
