However, iPhone 14 comes closer or higher to Pixel 7a when it comes to features and performance.

Google and Apple have both launched their flagship smartphones Google Pixel 7 and iPhone 14 with upgraded features and software. Users who like iOS prefer using Apple smartphones. However, for Android users, Google comes with upgraded features with every new phone that it launches. The Pixel 7a is one such device that has improved features like a camera and software that compliments it, delivering high-quality images and a great photographic experience.

So we decided to compare both the smartphones on the basis of their features, price, design, cameras, battery life, and performance. Let’s find out some of their important differences.

Performance of Google pixel 7a and Apple iPhone 14

Since both Pixel 7a and iPhone 14 have different technologies used in them, it is difficult to know who performs better as every user has a separate need for using a phone. Personal experience matters in this category as some users prefer using iOS software while others are quite comfortable with Android.

Apple’s internally developed A15 Bionic chip, which powered the iPhone 13, also powers the iPhone 14. However, the Pixel 7a uses the Google Tensor G2 chip. It was used in last year’s Pixel 7 phones.

Both phones have superior system technologies and can run under different circumstances. Apple’s performance is flawless and Pixel comes very close to it.

Battery life and Charging Options

iPhone 14’s 3,279mAh battery lasts for a good 9.5 hours which is a full day and night on normal use. A 5W adapter would charge its battery quickly. Apple’s 20W charger provides 50% battery charging in 30 minutes, although a bit expensive. Also, you can use MagSafe for iPhone and Qi wireless charging options. 

On the contrary, the Google Pixel 7a’s 4,385mAh large battery lasts longer for 24 hours on normal use. However, its performance lowers when used for gaming or other purposes.
