Google - Pixel 7 Pro 128GB (Unlocked) - Hazel

I recently upgraded from the Pixel 6 Pro to the Pixel 7 Pro and I must say its a refinement upgrade. Google was able to finally learn from the methodologies available in design and continuous improvement. The Pixel 7 Pro is a update of the small things that customers were not happy about the previous phone model. Battery life is better, the display looks flawless and the candy camera bar looks elegant. I am pleased with the phone and looking forward on next years models.

The newest phone on the market truly stands out from the crowd. With its sleek design and cutting-edge technology, it's evident that this device is a game-changer. Some of the standout features include a crystal-clear camera, unmatched battery life, and a super-responsive user interface. It's not just a phone; it's an experience. Highly recommended for tech enthusiasts and everyday users alike!"

My experience switching from a Pixel 4a 5g to this phone was seamless. The included USB-C transfer cable was very helpful with the transfer. The battery lasts all day and the camera is absolutely amazing! The only downside is that charging is incredibly slow using anything other than a PD charger... oh and Google didn't bother to include a PD charger, so be prepared to spend extra money. Read the reviews and tips/tricks for this phone. The display is set to 1080 by default and can be increased by changing a setting manually... but I did not notice a difference with the higher resolution. I would never use a phone this expensive without a case or screen protector. I removed the case to take the photos, but they show the front and rear protectors.

After enduring what seemed like the longest bad experience Google had to offer with the pixel 6 pro, I was done. Over it completely. I had 5 pixel 6 pro devices and had neverending issues with overheating, awful battery, and the motherboards going out on them due to a faulty power button. I looked to other android devices, bought them, used them. Then saw a leaked review of this device, from a fellow android purist such as myself.. This shows the pixel 7 pro was not simply an incremental upgrade, but a substantial upgrade. So far, had since launcher, this is the device I have been waiting for. The camera is stellar, zoom is amazing, the battery life is amazing, and the build quality is real and not like the 6 series which imo was a child's toy. A Google experiment gone bad. Forced to release far before being ready. Google has done it finally.

The Pixel 7 Pro is the latest flagship phone from Google. After using this phone for 8 months here are my thoughts. Pros: -Cameras. The absolute best point and shoot smartphone camera you can get. I've used pretty much every phone and you won't get better photos than this. Just try to take a photo of a pet or one of your kids moving around and you will see the difference! This year they've added a 5x optical zoom lens that zooms in up to 30x as well as a macro camera mode. I love using both of these modes and you only get them on the 7 Pro and not the regular 7. - Android as Google intended it. Absolutely no bloatware on this phone like you get with some other companies(Samsung I'm looking at you!). You also get updates to Android as soon as they are released. - Connectivity. I have no issues picking up signal around town. This was an issue with the 6 series and Google upgraded to a new modem for the 7 series that fixed the connectivity issues. Cons: - Tensor G2. Tensor went to Samsung to make their processors for the Pixel line and they just aren't up to the level of the latest Snapdragon flagship chips like the 8 Gen 2. - Thermals. This phone gets hot! It generally stays warm when doing anything on it, but it feels on fire if you try to use it while it's charging. - Charging speeds. Charging is capped at 23 watts. This is really slow in 2023 when compared to the latest Samsung S23 Ultra that can charge at 45 watts or the OnePlus 11 that can charge at 100 watts. Overall I stick with the Google Pixel as my main phone thanks to stock Android with no bloat and the amazing cameras that are unbeatable, but I'm really hoping the Tensor G3 in the Pixel 8 Pro is a large improvement for processor efficiency that can compete more with the latest and greatest from Snapdragon.

Everything that was wrong with the Pixel 6 Pro last year such as battery life, poor optimization, a terrible fingerprint scanner, and lack of camera features -- have all been refined here on the Pixel 7 Pro. Battery life is much better, however charging still seems to be much slower than the competition and you kind of have to babysit the phone with a charger nearby throughout the day. The screen gets plenty bright and the camera is unhinged as the best Android smartphone. The new macro mode is absolutely amazing and very useful. The speakers also got an upgrade. Overall I wouldn't spend more than $100 on this if you already have the Pixel 6 Pro but if you're coming from a much older Android phone or Pixel, it's worth the price and constantly on sale.

I have been curious about the Pixel since the 6 came out and have always had iphone… majority of the time…. I have the 13 Pro Max and the Pixel 7 Pro blows it out of the water with the camera…. The camera is AMAZING….. pictures are super clear and colors are vibrant…. The white is absolutely stunning…. I bought it Open Box -Excellent and it was practically brand new! I’m loving it! It’s snappy and fast…. Def will be keeping this android! The only thing I didn’t like was how Best Buy packaged the item… it wasn’t in a box it with bubble wrap….. it was in one of those parcel plastic bags (will show in pictures)… you could obviously tell it was a phone with you picked it up…. It could have easily been stolen…. Please please be cautious when order luckily I had delivery scheduled for my day off

The Google Pixel 7 Pro is, in my opinion, the best Android phone you can get today. I upgraded from a Pixel 6 Pro because Best Buy had a great trade-in and preorder offer which effectively cut the cost of the phone to less than $200 so it was well worth it for the refinements that were made on this phone. It's fast, has a great camera, and has pretty good battery life. It's kind of big if you're upgrading from small phone, but having made a jump from a small to a large phone myself last year, I quickly got used to it and, while I enjoy the form factor of smaller phones, I don't think I would be able to go back.
