The iPhone 7 Plus counts with a way bigger memory for apps and games than Google Pixel 3a, because it has more internal storage. IPhone 7 Plus features a bit better CPU than Google Pixel 3a, although it has lesser RAM and less cpu cores (but faster). The Google Pixel 3a features a bit better camera than Apple iPhone 7 Plus, and although they both have the same camera aperture, the same video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Google Pixel 3a also has a higher resolution camera in the back and a larger back camera sensor providing a better image quality.
Google Pixel 3a features just a little better battery lifetime than iPhone 7 Plus, because it has a 3000mAh battery capacity instead of 2900mAh.
