It’s perfectly pocketable yet still large enough for content consumption.
This display size is a popular one among small Android phones such as the Galaxy S23. The display sits at 6.1 inches, compared to the 6.3-inch panel on the 7, and the bezels between the two are about the same, maybe a touch thicker on the 7a. What will be noticeable, however, is the smaller chassis of the 7a. That said, the 7a is a hair thicker than the Pixel 7, but it probably won't be very noticeable. This makes the Pixel 7a look much slimmer than the 7, and it'll sit much flatter on a surface. At first glance, the Pixel 7a and Pixel 7 look about the same, save for the smaller camera visor on the back that doesn't protrude outward quite as much. That design also trickled down to the Pixel 6a and Pixel 7a, making them nearly identical to their flagship counterparts.
With the Pixel 7, Google didn't stray very far from the unique design language introduced with the Pixel 6 series. (Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich / Android Central)
