Features
Every detail, verified.
01Network and SIM
It is unlocked, so any UK network works: EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and the networks that run on them. It has a nano-SIM tray and eSIM support, and connects to 5G where available.
02Display
Google specifies a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display at up to 90Hz. It is the smallest phone in our Pixel range, which suits smaller hands and pockets.
03Performance and storage
The 7a uses the same Tensor G2 chip and 8GB of RAM as the Pixel 7, so everyday speed is very similar. Storage is 128GB with no memory card slot; cloud backup through Google Photos helps if you shoot a lot.
04Cameras
Google lists a 64MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide on the back, with a 13MP front camera. The main sensor has a higher pixel count than the Pixel 7's 50MP, and the phone runs the same Night Sight and Magic Eraser tools.
05Battery
Google rates the battery at 4,385mAh and the 7a supports wireless charging. Google has run an Extended Repair Program for some Pixel 7a batteries that could swell or drain quickly; eligibility is set by Google. Our minimum battery health at dispatch is 85%+ on every grade (Like New, Excellent and Very Good). If a battery shows swelling or fast drain after delivery, contact us: it is covered by our warranty.
06Built to last and software updates
The 7a is rated IP67 as manufactured; treat that as protection against accidents, not a feature to rely on after refurbishment. Google commits to five years of Android and security updates from the US launch in May 2023, so support runs until at least May 2028.
Condition
Pre-owned. Tested. Honestly graded.
Your Pixel 7a has been used before, then refurbished and given a cosmetic grade. Every grade is fully working; the grade describes cosmetic condition, from Like New (no visible marks) to Very Good (visible signs of use). Whatever grade you choose, the phone is covered by our 12-month warranty.
Like New
No visible marks
Excellent
Light signs of use, hard to spot at arm's length
Very Good
Visible marks on the body; screen in good shape
Fully tested
Cleaned

Compare
How it compares
7a vs Pixel 7: same chip and RAM; the Pixel 7 has a 6.3-inch screen and IP68, the 7a a 64MP main camera and seven extra months of updates. 7a vs Nothing Phone 3a: the Nothing Phone 3a adds a 2x telephoto and a bigger 5,000mAh battery, from £349.
Our view
Is a refurbished Pixel 7a worth buying in 2026?
For a compact phone with a good camera and updates into 2028, yes. It's one of the lowest-priced ways into a current Pixel. The trade-offs are the 90Hz screen, 128GB only and no zoom lens.
Who it's for
Choose the 7a if you prefer a smaller phone or want the longest update window for around £150. If you want a bigger screen or 256GB, the Pixel 7 costs the same in our store. For flagship cameras, see the Pixel 8 Pro.
