Budget smartphones fill a void in the market untouched by high-performance 'power-user' smartphones, often depriving companies of their creative freedom to do whatever the heck they want in this segment. This makes selling a budget smartphone incredibly difficult. Google, on the other hand, knows how to make a good bang-for-buck smartphone, as is evident in the 'Pixel a' lineup.

With the all-new Google Pixel 7a, you're not going to be disappointed, despite the compromises the company had to make in order to place the phone in this segment. Right now, you can get it on Amazon Singapore for S$749 (US$553.57).

As Google says, the Pixel 7a is "built to perform" while being "priced just right". Even though you can't expect the highest performance out of this device, it's sure to satisfy most people. Powered by the Google Tensor G2 chip (the same as the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro), you can expect efficient and spritely processing power, which means you'll be able to enjoy the user experience without any noticeable lag in performance.

Featuring a 6.1-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, the Pixel 7a is slightly smaller than the Pixel 7. Aside from display size, however, the Pixel 7a looks virtually identical to the Pixel 7 – it even sports the same camera bar at the back of the phone.

The Google Pixel 7a is only offered in one configuration: 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. But it does come in some smooth colors: Charcoal, Sea, and Snow.
