Google Pixel 7 Price In Uk
Cyndi Barca
Google and Samsung have been locked in an endless discount war this year, repeatedly slashing the prices of their respective flagship smartphones. Now, just two weeks after the Galaxy Z Fold 6 release, Google has again discounted the Pixel 8 series.
Google has done things differently this time by bringing forward its Pixel 9 release by two months. Since the Pixel 2 launch in 2016, Google has released its flagship smartphone in early October or late September.
Like previous Pixel A series phones, the Pixel 8a is a less expensive version of the Google flagship that preceded it, which means sacrificing some features in the name of a lower price tag. But don't confuse this midrange model for a bargain basement handset. Google has boosted the refresh rate on the Pixel 8a's 6.1-inch display, and it's expanding software and security support for its midrange phone to match what it provides the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
You can read about our opinion of the device in our Google Pixel 8a review or see what's changed from the previous model in our Pixel 8a vs. Pixel 7a comparison. But here's a rundown of what to expect from the Google Pixel 8a once you get Google's new phone in your hands.
If you're familiar with the look of the Pixel 8, you've got a pretty good idea of the Pixel 8a's design. Like its flagship sibling, the 8a features a camera bar stretching across the back of the phone which gives Google handsets there distinctive look.
That said, you will find more rounded corners on the Pixel 8a compared to the rest of the Pixel 8 lineup. There's also a matte back and aluminum frame on the Pixel 8a, and a wider bezel on the bottom of the phone's display than what you might otherwise see on the flagship devices.
The Pixel 8a offers IP67 water resistance, meaning you can drop it in up to 3 feet of water without any cause for panic. The phone uses more recycled materials than it has in the past, with aluminum, glass and plastic all making use of previously used components.
On the surface, the Pixel 8a's screen looks unchanged from what the Pixel 7a offers. It's a 6.1-inch panel that's not quite as as big as the Pixel 8's 6.2-inch display. However, the Pixel 8a share more in common with the Pixel 8 than you might think in terms of its screen, in that the midrange phone now features the Actua display Google uses on its flagships.
In terms of practical benefits, that gives the Pixel 8a a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits, matching the rating for the Pixel 8. The Pixel 7a, in contrast, topped out at 1,000 nits, so definitely expect a brighter screen on the new model.
The refresh rate of the Pixel 8a is faster, too, as it can ramp up to 120Hz when the on-screen activity merits it. Again, this matches what Google's flagships are capable of, while marking a big step up from the 90Hz refresh rate of the Pixel 7a.
The cameras on Google phones always command their share of attention, given how Pixels tend to populate our best camera phone rankings. (That includes the Pixel 7a, our favorite camera phone under $500.) The Pixel 8a figures to be a strong performer in this regard, too, but there aren't many major changes from the 7a in terms of camera hardware.
As previously noted, the Pixel 8a runs on a Tensor G3 system-on-chip, adopting the silicon Google introduced for the Pixel 8 lineup. That should mean a performance boost as the Tensor G3 outperforms the older Tensor G2 found in the Pixel 7 lineup, though it doesn't come close to challenging your Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Android phones. That said, once we benchmark the Pixel 8a, we would expect it to top the Galaxy A35, since that Samsung phone uses the same Exynos 1380 that Tensor G2-powered Pixels handily out-performed.
The big story with the Tensor G3 chipset is how Google phone capitalize on its Tensor engine to support a number of AI capabilities. In addition to the photo editing features outlined above, the Pixel 8a supports live translation where you can have conversations with someone speaking another language translated on the fly. The improved Call Assist features are here, too, and you can use Circle to Search on the Pixel 8a if you want to quickly look something up without having to leave the app you're using.
Battery size has increased from the Pixel 7a, with the Pixel 8a sporting a 4,404 mAh cell. (The Pixel 7a made do with a 4,386 mAh power pack.) Battery life hasn't been a hallmark of recent Google phones, but fortunately things are looking good with the 8a.
As you can see, the Pixel 8a lasted 11 hours and 21 minutes in our custom battery test compared to the Pixel 7a's 10 hours 5 minutes. So it seems like that more efficient Tensor chipset and the larger battery pack have been put to good use.
The Pixel 8a charges at 18W, the same as its predecessor, and the enlarged battery means it charges a little slower than the Pixel 7a. Gaining just 33% charge after 30 minutes, compared to the 7a's 43%.
Apart from AI features, the biggest improvement to the Pixel 8a from its predecessor could be the amount of support Google brings to the phone. Like the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, you can count on seven years of software and security updates for the Pixel 8a. Treat your phone right, and it could be the last one you buy this decade.
You can read our Pixel 8a review for an in-depth look at our time with the phone. Needless to say, we were very impressed with what Google has on offer, especially at this price point. There may not be quite as many premium features, like there are on Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, but you're still getting an extraordinary amount of value here.
We found that the camera performance could have been improved slightly, but the Pixel 8a does manage to make it up in a lot of other ways. A brighter screen, stronger battery life, and all the AI features you get on a flagship Pixel phones. And, frankly, this is the kind of phone we'd be more than happy to spend our money on.

We all know that the majority of the playerbase makes minors but its so frustrating and demotivating to see how the item prices are changing in so dumb fashion. I think its soo unnormal for some items to rise or drop over hundreds of thousands bc basically overnight.
Istg, these kids cannot maintain normal in game economy.
after all of this they added bytecoin stores which demotivated people to keep items to profit, and because items never rised due to these issues everyone decided to get rid of items and keep pures in order to profit
I get your point, but its not what most of the community thinks. Yes all items are dropping but not like how they should drop, lets say that you had a Dracula Cape 7 months ago like Epro, he sold it for 2 Red PWR sets, 240 Platinum Locks, 27 Golden Short Swords, 17 Scabbards, Dark Ifrit Mask, Cthulhu Wings, Dark Pixie Wings and Black Visor. With todays prices those items are worth 41.160.000 Bytecoins, and Dracula Cape is now worth 15.000.000 Bytecoins which means richer you were more Bytecoins you lost. Thats what makes a lot of people mad.
I remember selling Dark Pixie Wings for Spirit Claw, Cthulhu Wings, Soul Cleaver, Green Visor and now It is just worth Cthulhu Wings + Green Visor or Spirit Claw + Soul Cleaver, you can literally buy 2 Dark Pixies with same items now.
The Google Pixel 8a is a new phone with a powerful chip and AI features.
It takes great photos and videos, and it can help you get things done faster.
It's durable, comes in fun colors, and has a larger storage option.
Starting at $499, it's a great value for the price.
