Google Pixel 4a and Galaxy S7 count with quite similar cameras, because although the Google Pixel 4a has a smaller back-facing camera sensor which provides a worse image and video quality, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates, the same (4K) video definition and a F1.7 camera aperture, it also counts with a more mega-pixels back-facing camera.
Although Google Pixel 4a is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Samsung Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Samsung Galaxy S7. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S7, giving up a few features and specs, but you will get the most with your savings.
