This year has been particularly good when it comes to mid-range phones thanks to the likes of the Galaxy A54, Nothing Phone (2), POCO F5 Pro, Honor 90, and the Nord 3. But the device that I like the most in this category is the Pixel 7a; Google managed to deliver the best features of the Pixel 7 in a much more affordable package, and that makes the Pixel 7a a particularly great choice.
The Pixel 7a has amazing cameras, but it goes beyond that — you get a 90Hz screen, powerful hardware, stellar battery life, and the best software in this segment. While I like some of the other options as well — notably the Phone (2) and Nord 3 — they don't measure up to Google when it comes to the software.
