The Pixel 7a comes quite close on the heels of the premium Pixel 7-series devices that we reviewed in our December issue.

The screen is protected with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 cover glass. The device is available in Charcoal, Sea, and Snow colours. The phone uses a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 interface. The device measures 152 x 72.9 x 9.0 mm and weighs 193.5 g.
