Opinions from the Google Pixel 7a

Hmm, I'm not going to be nice to this device, even though I've been dreaming of the Nexus and Pixel for 10 years without ever taking the plunge of purchasing it... And I won't be caught. Purchased in May 2023, destroyed at the end of September 2023... So avoid, but I will give my objective opinion: What is good: (at first glance) - The 90 Hz Oled screen - The SOC effective on a daily basis - IP 67 certification and update policy - The compact format - The camera which gives magnificent results (this is indisputable at the moment) - A device and an Android operating system which work in synergy because developed by Google (that's what I thought), and therefore a coherent whole like Apple's iPhones. Let's move on to the bad (and also what I experienced with this device): - Numerous bugs on multiple apps with screen freezes for no reason - Disastrous updates in terms of installation time or even effects produced (new bugs) - Ridiculous autonomy (half a day) and snail's recharge (2 to 3 hours like 10 years ago) linked among other things to non-existent heat dissipation (architecture of Pixel 7 but restricted to be less expensive on the 7a) with a device that heats up without doing anything, even in standby and obligation to buy the Google charging block to hope to have the promised 18 W in charge. - Screen only 90 Hz and not very bright outdoors...and... Let's talk about the screen!This screen actually committed suicide itself: on a small shock (protected screen I specify), an area of 3 mm no longer worked (damaged pixels). And from there, the screen was destroyed in the space of a day, gradually until it no longer displayed anything anywhere (it started from the damaged area). In summary: Google smartphones are over for me. Never again, and never again will I trust online testing sites. I bought another brand instead (and it's night and day).
