Google’s latest mid-range phone brings high-end features down to a reasonable price, including the firm’s top chip and class-leading camera.

The Pixel 7a costs £449 (€509/$449) – £50 more than the initial price of last year’s 6a but £150 cheaper than the Pixel 7 – while offering almost the same features.
