While the technical specs of a phone play a large part in the decision-making process of picking up a new device, how it looks can be equally as important for many people. Luckily, phone manufacturers have caught on to that fact and provide multiple color options for most modern smartphones — allowing buyers to have a few options when picking up their favorite new smartphones.

The color options that Google has had on offer over the past few years have been some of our favorites, and the new Pixel 7a is following in the footsteps of countless Google devices by being offered in some excellent shades. There are four Pixel 7a color options in total, and honestly, it’s a little tough to pick a favorite.

Here’s a look at the four different colors that the Pixel 7a comes in: Charcoal, Snow, Sea, and Coral.

Charcoal is the Pixel 7a’s darkest color option. While not outright black, Charcoal is a nice, solid gray color that exudes class.

Because of its dark, mellow color, Charcoal variants of the Pixel 7a are able to match any style and look good for those in professional and casual settings. Compared to other color options, the variant is also a lot more discrete, so if you’re trying not to draw too much attention to your phone when using it, Charcoal is a great pick.

For those looking for a lighter color option that, like the Charcoal variant, can also go with just about anything, the Pixel 7a in Snow is an excellent pick.

Snow is the Pixel 7a’s white color that can add a nice, bright accent color to any outfit while also being just as classy as the darker Charcoal. The classic white design of the back matches the silver camera bar and metal frame completing the elegant look.

While the first two options are pretty standard fair for the Pixel A series, the Sea color stands out thanks to its pale blue design. Sea is the perfect summer color and a great pick for anyone looking to add a splash of color to their style.

Although its color is relatively subdued, Sea is a lovely hue of blue that’s something new for Google as recent the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro colors tend to skew more towards shades of green.

The most striking of the Pixel 7a color options is Coral. However, you’ll likely not be seeing a whole lot of them out and about since they’re exclusively sold at physical Google retail stores and on the Google Store website.

This means that you won’t see the Coral Pixel 7a on sale at local retailers or offered through wireless service providers. That’s a shame, too, since the red/pink color is a nice shade that’s one of the boldest Pixel color options that Google has offered.

The YouTube mobile app is getting a small redesign. Here’s what’s changing

How do you feel about the YouTube app on iOS and Android? Most of us use the app and don't think twice about it, but YouTube announced a lot of changes in October. Some of these planned updates have begun to roll out, and they're worth paying attention to — especially because one of them is difficult to notice. The updated bottom bar is a subtle change, but it adds a bit of flair.

The updated bottom bar is part of a server-side update, which means you don't have to download a new version of YouTube to see it. However, you should ensure you're using the latest version of the YouTube app. For Android, that's 19.47, and it's 19.49 for iOS. The update hasn't reached all devices yet — I still don't see it on my own phone — but it should be applied by the end of the day.

Future Samsung phones may steal this great Google Pixel feature

A lot has been said about the impressive capabilities of our phone cameras when it comes to capturing photos. However, they are also quite effective at recording videos. Unfortunately, unwanted background noise can often be captured when filming.

The Audio Magic Eraser is a valuable feature that leverages artificial intelligence to eliminate unwanted noise from recorded videos. While this tool is currently exclusive to Google Pixel 8 and later models, such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, it now looks like a similar tool could be coming to Samsung devices.
