Comparison review
IPhone 7 has a general score of 81.6, which is just a bit better than the Google Pixel 3a's overall score of 78.8. The iPhone 7 construction is somewhat thinner and just a little bit lighter than Google Pixel 3a, even though it was released many years before. The Google Pixel 3a features a bit better display than Apple iPhone 7, because it has a greater pixel amount in each inch in the display, a much better resolution of 1080 x 2220 and a bigger display.
The iPhone 7 features a much greater memory capacity to install games and applications than Google Pixel 3a, because it has 256 GB internal memory. The Apple iPhone 7 features a bit better processor than Google Pixel 3a, although it has 2 GB lesser RAM memory and a lower number of cores (although faster).
The Google Pixel 3a features a really longer battery performance than Apple iPhone 7, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity instead of 1960mAh. Google Pixel 3a counts with a slightly better camera than Apple iPhone 7, and although they both have the same aperture, the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same (4K) video quality, the Google Pixel 3a also has a bigger sensor capturing higher quality videos and photographs and a more megapixels back facing camera.
Although Apple iPhone 7 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Google Pixel 3a, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Google Pixel 3a. If you prefer to save some money, you can buy the Google Pixel 3a, giving up a few specs and features, but you'll get the most with your budget.
