Pixel 7 vs 7 Pro vs 7a: Which One Do You Have? Screen & Battery Replacement Cost Guide (2026)

Three phones, one family, three very different repair bills. The Google Pixel 7 series — Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 7a — share a design language and not much else once you start pricing up screens and batteries. If you've cracked your screen or your battery is dying and you're not 100% sure which Pixel 7 you're holding, this guide sorts it in under two minutes, then sends you to the right parts.

The short version:

• Pixel 7 — flat 6.3" screen, two rear cameras, most affordable screen and battery in the family.
• Pixel 7 Pro — curved 6.7" screen, three rear cameras including a telephoto lens, similarly priced parts to the standard 7 but a fiddlier curved-glass fit.
• Pixel 7a — compact 6.1" screen, mid-range internals, currently the most expensive screen to replace of the three, with two different screen options depending on your repairer's preference and no dedicated battery currently confirmed in stock.

How to tell which Pixel 7 you have

The most reliable way to answer "which Pixel 7 do I have" is to check the phone's own settings, but if the screen is smashed and unresponsive, a few visual cues will get you there almost as fast.

Method 1: Check in Settings (if the screen still works)

1. Open Settings
2. Scroll down to About phone
3. Look at the Model field — it will read "Pixel 7", "Pixel 7 Pro" or "Pixel 7a"

This is the definitive answer and takes ten seconds if the touchscreen is at least partially functional.

Method 2: Visual identification (if the screen is dead or badly cracked)

No touchscreen response doesn't mean no clues. Look at the phone itself:

• Pixel 7 Pro: the largest of the three at 6.7", with visibly curved edges where the glass wraps into the frame. Flip it over and you'll see three camera lenses in the camera bar, including a noticeably longer telephoto lens — this is the giveaway feature nothing else in the range has.
• Pixel 7: 6.3" and completely flat from edge to edge — no curve at all. On the back you'll find two rear cameras only, no telephoto.
• Pixel 7a: the smallest and most compact at 6.1". It also has two rear cameras like the standard 7, but the camera bar finish is subtly different in texture and the overall body is noticeably smaller and lighter in the hand. If you're comparing the two side by side, the size difference alone usually settles it.

Still unsure? The IMEI printed on the original box or the SIM tray, or your Google account's device list at myaccount.google.com, will also confirm the exact model.

Pixel 7: what's distinct about repairing it

Of the three, the standard Pixel 7 is the most budget-friendly to fix. The 6.3" flat OLED panel means no curved-glass edge alignment to worry about during fitting, and at £41.49 for the screen digitizer plus £8.81 for a 4355mAh battery, it's comfortably the cheapest repair in the range. There's no telephoto lens or extra camera hardware complicating a screen swap either — it's a straightforward, well-supported repair with parts readily in stock. For full step-by-step fitting notes, torque points and common pitfalls specific to this model, read our full Pixel 7 screen replacement guide.

Pixel 7 Pro: what's distinct about repairing it

The Pro sits at almost identical pricing to the standard 7 — £41.39 for the screen and £8.81 for the (larger, 5000mAh) battery — but the job itself is a notch more demanding. The 6.7" panel is curved at both edges, which means more care is needed when seating the digitizer and reapplying adhesive around the frame to avoid lifting or light leakage at the curve. The telephoto camera module also sits close to the display assembly, so a careful, methodical disassembly matters more here than on the flat-screen standard model. Parts cost is nearly the same as the Pixel 7, but budget slightly more time for the fit. Full details are in our full Pixel 7 Pro screen replacement guide.

Pixel 7a: what's distinct about repairing it

The Pixel 7a is the odd one out, and it's worth being upfront about why. Screen replacement currently comes in two options rather than one: the Google Pixel 7a OLED LCD Screen & Digitizer Replacement with Frame at £74.99, and the Google Pixel 7a LCD Screen & Touch Digitizer Replacement with Fingerprint Flex at £109.99. The difference comes down to whether the fingerprint sensor flex is included in the assembly — the £109.99 option carries it, which matters if your existing fingerprint flex is damaged or you'd rather not transfer the old one across. If your current fingerprint sensor and flex are undamaged and can be reused, the £74.99 option is the more economical route; if you want the fingerprint hardware bundled in with the new screen, the £109.99 option saves you handling that delicate component separately.

On the battery side, we'll be straight with you: there is no dedicated Pixel 7a battery currently confirmed in stock. If your 7a's battery is the issue rather than the screen, check our Pixel 6/7 battery replacement guide for the latest position, or get in touch before ordering to confirm current availability. Either way, the 7a's compact 6.1" build and slightly different camera bar finish make it visually distinct enough that once you've spotted it next to a standard 7, you won't confuse the two again. Full fitting detail is in our full Pixel 7a screen guide.

Pixel 7 screen replacement cost vs Pixel 7 Pro vs Pixel 7a

Put side by side, here's how the numbers actually compare:

• Pixel 7 screen replacement cost: from £41.49 for the OLED display and digitizer.
• Pixel 7 Pro screen replacement cost: from £41.39 — effectively the same outlay as the standard model, despite the larger curved panel.
• Pixel 7a screen replacement cost: £74.99 to £109.99 depending on whether you need the fingerprint flex included — noticeably higher than either full-size Pixel 7.

This is a genuinely useful data point when people ask "pixel 7 vs 7a" from a repair-cost angle rather than a specs angle: the 7a might be the cheaper phone to buy new, but it's currently the more expensive one to repair. Meanwhile, "pixel 7 vs 7 pro" and "pixel 7 pro vs 7a" comparisons both land the same way — the Pro's screen costs barely a penny more than the standard 7's, so the size and curve upgrade doesn't carry a meaningful repair-cost penalty, while the 7a does.

Battery pricing tells a similar story: both the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have confirmed batteries at £8.81 each, giving you a cheap, quick fix for degraded battery health. The 7a currently has no dedicated battery listing, so if battery life is your main complaint on that model, check availability before assuming a quick fix is possible.

Buttons, SIM tray and small parts

Power buttons, volume rockers and SIM trays are common casualties alongside screen and battery failures, particularly after a drop. Rather than duplicate that detail three times over, we've covered fitment and sourcing for buttons and SIM tray components across the Pixel 7 range in one place: our Pixel small parts guide.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which Pixel 7 I have?

Go to Settings > About phone and check the Model field — it will state Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro or Pixel 7a directly. If the screen isn't responding, look for a curved edge and telephoto lens (Pixel 7 Pro), a flat screen with two rear cameras (Pixel 7), or the smallest, most compact body of the three (Pixel 7a).

What's the difference between Pixel 7 vs 7 Pro for repairs?

Screen and battery prices are almost identical between the two models. The main difference is the Pixel 7 Pro's curved-edge display, which takes more care to fit correctly, and its larger 5000mAh battery versus the standard 7's 4355mAh cell.

Is the Pixel 7a more expensive to repair than the Pixel 7?

Yes, for the screen. The Pixel 7a's screen options run from £74.99 to £109.99, compared with around £41 for either the standard Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro. This is worth factoring into a "pixel 7 vs 7a" repair-cost comparison, since the 7a is the more affordable phone to buy but not the cheapest to fix.

Why does the Pixel 7a have two different screen prices?

The £74.99 option is the screen and digitizer with frame; the £109.99 option additionally bundles the fingerprint sensor flex. If your existing fingerprint flex is undamaged, the cheaper option is usually sufficient — the pricier option is there for cases where that component also needs replacing.

Is a Pixel 7a battery available?

Not currently confirmed in stock as a dedicated listing. Check our Pixel 6/7 battery replacement guide for the latest availability, or contact us directly before assuming a straightforward battery swap is possible on this model.

Pixel 7 Pro vs 7a — which has the pricier repair parts overall?

The Pixel 7a. Its screen costs significantly more than the Pro's (£74.99–£109.99 vs £41.39), and unlike the Pro, it currently has no confirmed dedicated battery in stock at all.

Do I need to fit the part myself?
