Personally, I would go for the 7.
I'm on a 6a currently which replaced a 4. it's fine, does the job.
ChasnotRobert-
Yeah, from a bit more reading the differences between the two seem pretty minimal and none of the features that the 8 has that the 7 doesn't seem important to me (more AI, more features for photo editing etc).
I read one article that mentioned that the 7 will only be supported until 2025 and the 8 will be supported until 2030 which would sway me if accurate. Although my 4a is a few years old and seems to get updates still so not sure how believable the 7 only getting updates for another couple of years is.
I tend to keep my phones for as long as I can so wouldn't want to buy something that was made to be obsolete in a couple of years.

Scrap that, my Pixel 4a is the same price with unlimited data as the 8 is with 1gb. The Pixel 7 with 25gb is about the same as I'm paying now. Is the 8 worth the extra £200ish over 2 years?
