Last week, Google has launched a mid-range Pixel phone - Pixel 3A - powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 chipset while OnePlus brought their newest flagship OnePlus 7 Pro to the market a couple of days ago. Pixel 3A will cost you $399 which is quite an acceptable price for a mid-range phone. If you have been wanting to get a Pixel phone to use it's great HDR+ camera and Night Sight mode and didn't want to spend $700+, Pixel 3A will serve you well as it features the same exact camera as it's bigger brother Pixel 3 and 3XL. OnePlus 7 Pro on the other hand has a starting price of $670, but comes with high end Specs and is currently the best value for money flagship phone you can purchase today.
If you are living in India, the price difference between these two phones is not big. Pixel 3A base model is priced at Rs 39,999 while OnePlus 7 Pro base model with 6GB ram and 128GB storage is Rs 48,990.

What are the advantages of buying Google Pixel 3A over any other Android phone out there ?
- Fast 3 Year monthly security updates directly from Google
- At least 2 Year Software updates ( OS versions )
- Fantastic Pixel Camera features like Night Sight, HDR+ etc
There are a few features Google didn't include in 3A but is available on Pixel 3. There is no unlimited Original Quality Google Photos cloud backup on 3A, instead you only get Free High Quality backup, which is actually available on all Android smartphones. One other feature missing is the Pixel Visual Core chip which allows 3rd party apps to make use of HDR+ and other Pixel Camera features.
So for Rs 39,999, Pixel 3A is not a great purchase in my opinion, unless you are after those camera features.
OnePlus 7 Pro Specs Highlights
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset - currently the fastest available in the Android world
- Fast UFS 3.0 storage - First phone to feature this ( Samsung Fold had it as well )
- Triple Cameras
- Fast WARP Charging
- Fantastic Quad HD+ AMOLED display with 90Hz refreshing rate - another First.
- Oxygen OS - close to Stock Android
- Pop-up selfie camera
- No Notch or Bezels
For Rs 48,990, you are getting a fantastic Android flagship phone with the OnePlus 7 Pro. The display is unique, as currently there are no other phone to feature an AMOLED screen with 90Hz refresh rate. Triple cameras ( wide, ultra wide and telephoto lenses ) give you better flexibility compared to the single sensor on the Pixel 3A. Also, when it comes to design and looks, OnePlus 7 Pro is miles ahead of Pixel 3a.
Pixel 3a should be bought for it's amazing Pixel camera. If you want better overall features and more value for money, get the OnePlus 7 Pro instead.
