I was a OnePlus user before I switched over to the Pixel. One overlooked aspect of OnePlus phones is that they are on the heavy side when it comes to smartphone weight. The new Pixel 4A 5G is the best consumer friendly phone on the market, IMO. The features you get are simply unmatched. And nothing can compare to Vanilla Android. I originally had the Pixel 3 and now I refuse to buy another smartphone that isn't a Pixel. I guess once you go Pixel, it's hard to back.
With OxygenOS 11, OnePlus ditches stock Android for Samsung's One UI
Depends on what you're dailying already. As a Note 9 owner I can't imagine upgrading phones until 5g is widely and reliably available. Otherwise any phone on the market, in my opinion, isn't currently worth the upgrade if you're rocking a phone newer than 2017.

This or Pixel 4A? Criteria are Battery life, display, speaker, smoothness no lag with plenty apps open and chrome tabs, camera picture and video, OS updates?
probably the 7T. Pixel has it beat in camera by a mile, that's about it.
Pixel wins in battery, camera, os updates, and (as we learned yesterday) having free Google photos backup next summer once Google starts charging everyone else.
Oneplus wins in speed, screen, uncertified water protection, and build quality. It's also not bad with camera and GCam.
I personally like the slightly smaller 4a size, but don't mind the oneplus. Both have VoLTE on at&t Prepaid (presumably postpaid), but only 4a has WiFi calling there. Both have both (wifi and VoLTE) on T-Mobile. I use the 7T's physical mute switch often, which is an infrequently talked about feature.
If that $200 mint mobile walmart deal comes back for an unlocked 4a, I'd just go with that. Both phones are very nice.
Have you compared the photos with the 7T gcam to the pixel?
I'm still rocking the pixel 2 and photo quality is the top of my list, but I've only seen gcam vs stock comparisons, but not many gcam port vs pixel comparisons.

I'm also a Pixel user, but I'm guessing the hardware on the OnePlus is superior. The Pixel camera experience/AI is unmatched, though. My lowly 3a takes pictures that can keep up with most flagships. It's nice to get updates also. However, the thing I would have a hard time living without is the call screening on the Pixel. It's integrated so seamlessly and works so well. Oneplus does a great job with Lineage OS updates, as per a friend.
$350 is a super solid deal for the 7T. If I was in the market for a "budget" phone, I would pull the trigger on this in a heartbeat. Still extremely capable hardware with great software. Good find, OP.
I've used a 7T for a year now, just upgrading to 8T. The 7T is a -fantastic- phone. I still get over 8 hours screen on time, it has a decent but not great main camera, and the macromode(part of ultrawide) is absolutely stunning. This is a fantastic deal.

How do you backup pixel to your local drive?

It shouldn't have a problem since Mint runs on top of the TMO network.
