Having spent some time with Google's latest phone for my Pixel 7a review, I think it's safe to say there's plenty to appreciate about this midrange phone. The cameras have gotten an upgrade, placing the Pixel 7a among the best camera phones. Google has added premium features like a fast-refreshing display and wireless charging support. And there's the fact that even with a price hike over last year's model, the Pixel 7a can still be yours for less than $500.
All that's fine. But my favorite thing about the Pixel 7a is an app that's been part of Google's phones for a while, which has gotten a boost now that Google has switched to its own Tensor chipset as the driving force behind its handsets.
