What is the Google Pixel 7a?

The Google Pixel 7a has compact dimensions of 152.4 × 72.9 × 9 mm and a weight of 193 g. The handling is excellent, with easily accessible buttons. Its 6.1-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels is well calibrated, with a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz. Its good brightness allows the screen to be perfectly readable , even in broad daylight. The Google Tensor G2 chip offers good performance to Google’s smartphone.

The user experience is pleasant and the Pixel 7a is still a very good everyday device. Players will nevertheless have to sacrifice the graphics of their games, so as not to see their smartphone heat up and lag. The Pixel 7a is also one of the best camera phones on the market, especially in its price range. The photos have a high level of detail and are of high quality. The few defects are quickly corrected by the image processing algorithm. Finally, the Pixel 7a will last a good day of use, in the case of normal use, and recharges in around 2 hours.

What is Google Chromecast?

Google’s Chromecast is a 4K TV box that runs Android TV and whose small size makes it a discreet device. It’s not complicated to set up, and just plug the Chromecast into a power outlet as well as your TV’s HDMI port to get it working right away. The interface is simple and the application personalizes itself as you use it, in order to optimize recommendations.

Once turned on, you will find your usual SVOD services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ or even Apple TV+. HDR and Dolby Vision modes are present as well as Dolby Atmos for audio. Chromecast is part of the Google Home ecosystem and can therefore be controlled via Google Assistant.
