Good Phone & Camera but not as good as 800$ Flagship Phones

The pixel 7 pro is the smartest phone I've ever used. It took a lot of the things that were lacking in the pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro and vastly improved upon them. Not only does the Pixel 7 pro produce flagship performance, but Google has baked in native support for some of the most cutting AI software technology that I've ever used on any phone. The impressive part is that it accomplishes all of this in a pricing segment that no other competitor can even come close to. Throughout my time using the Pixel 7 pro, I've gathered some key features and details that have made me fall in love with the experience of being a Pixel 7 pro owner. ==========PERFORMANCE========== Performance is top shelf on this Pixel 7 Pro. The pixel line of phones have never been known for being performance monsters. They have always been synonymous with offering the the most innovative and latest software tech on the market as well as providing the most pure Android OS experience possible. It's no different this time around. While it is not the absolute best performing mobile device on the market, it easily keeps up with the latest Android flagships. For comparison, the Samsung S22 Ultra I benchmarked achieved a single-core score of 1212 and a multi-core score of 3264 on Geekbench 5. The pixel 7 pro's Tensor G2 achieved a single-core score of 1011 and a multi-core score of 2718. The interesting thing is that in real world use, the pixel 7 Pro was as snappy, if not snappier, when opening and loading multiple applications as compared to the Samsung S22 Ultra. Since the pixel 7 pro features the most stock and most optimally tuned version of Android (with zero bloatware), you end up getting an extremely fluid, snappy, and buttery smooth experience that will sometimes supersede a flagship with better synthetic performance numbers. This is thanks to how well Google is able to finely tune and optimize it's Tensor chip to interoperate with the stock Android OS. The pixel 7 pro was an absolute beast when it came to playing games, watching 1440p videos, streaming music, and simultaneously running applications. The pixel 7 pro actually outperformed my Samsung S22 Ultra in 3D Mark's Wild Life gaming benchmark at a rendering resolution of 2560x1440. My pixel 7 pro scored an overal score of 6,362 with an average frame rate of 38.10. The Samsung S22 Ultra came in with an overall score of 6,157 and an average frame rate of 36.90. Not once, even during intense multi-tasking sessions, did my pixel 7 pro encounter any hang ups, sluggishness, crashes, or any type of weird quirks. Some of this is likely attributed to the beefy 12GB of the latest LPDDR5X RAM which is not only great for multi-tasking, but is also great at being power conscious to help preserve as much battery life as possible. The pixel 7 pro provides true flagship performance in a very reasonable pricing segment making this, in my opinion, the absolute best value on the market. ==========SOFTWARE TECH========== The software tech is where the google pixel 7 pro shines and blows away every mobile device on the market out of the water. The pixel 7 pro is "the smartest smartphone" in my opinion. One of the greatest features that I love using is the "Direct My Call for Businesses" feature. When enabling this feature, every time you call a business's toll free number, the pixel 7 pro will visually display a list of menu options before the automated bot even has a chance to tell you what the options are. This not only saves a ton of time, but it also sometimes helps make what may already be a frustrating situation (due to having to call customer service or tech support), a bit more bearable. Another incredible feature that proves that Google's pixel phones are doing more with their software than any other cell phone company out there is it's native "Call Screen" feature. I love that this is baked directly into the OS (no downloading external apps!). This makes it so that the pixel 7 pro will automatically identify businesses and spam numbers, filter spam calls, check the caller ID and request a reason for the call from the caller. This has already prevented so many unnecessary calls from disturbing me. Another feature on this pixel 7 pro that had me extremely impressed, is the ability of the phone to transcribe your voice to text with the built in recorder. This is a very useful feature for me as I love having the ability to save voice memos on the fly whenever I need to remember something that I will need to recall in the near future. The transcription is near perfect; even down to the punctuation marks. The near flawless transcription isn't just limited to the voice recorder either. Using speech-to-text to send messages and having my voicemails transcribed to text where also insanely accurate. By far, the most perfect transcription I've ever seen on any phone. The list is long with all of the innovative software features you get with the pixel 7 pro (pixel's security hub, personal safety feature, clear calling, and call assist just to name a few more) which makes this the undisputed "smartest smart phone" currently available. The fingerprint sensor on the pixel 6 was a bit of a let down and I'm happy to report that the new pixel 7 pro fingerprint reader is leagues better. The difference is night and day. Both the pixel 7 pro's fingerprint sensor and face unlock are near flawless; and fast too! There have been a couple of times where I had to scan my finger twice but this was rare. In terms of speed, I compared the fingerprint sensor on the pixel 7 pro next to Samsung's S22 Ultra ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and my results were mixed. Sometimes the pixel 7 pro was quicker to unlock first and sometimes the ultrasonic reader on the S22 ultra was faster. Face unlock was impressively consistent. The only time I had an issue with face unlock not working was in dimly lit areas. ==========DISPLAY & BATTERY========== The display on the pixel 7 pro is gorgeous. We get a 6.7" OLED display that is capable of 120Hz with a resolution of 3120 x 1440 and a pixel density of 512 ppi (make sure to manually enable 1440p resolution as out of the box the phone comes set to 1080p). This tops both the galaxy S22 ultra AND the iphone 14 pro! While the brightness is still not quite as bright as the S22 Ultra (1750 nits), it gets very close with 1500 nits of peak brightness which is far more than enough for me. This is a vast improvement over the pixel 6's 800 nits peak brightness which I always thought was it's biggest let down when it came to it's display. The color reproduction on this OLED seems fairly accurate. Skin tones look organic and true to life. Blacks are very deep and dark. The color reproduction is not overly saturated like you typically find on Samsung AMOLED displays. 1440p with 120Hz looks absolutely incredible. Videos look very fluid with great contrast. I couldn't recommend this phone enough if you watch a ton of streamed videos or movies on the go. The 5,000 mAh battery is a powerhouse! My pixel 7 pro easily lasts all day even when I've been using using social media apps, streaming services, and playing the occasional game. I'm getting this level of battery performance even with the "Battery Saver" feature turned off and running at its full 1440p resolution with adaptive display turned off (and brightness turned up to around 75%). Google has also improved its "Extreme Battery Saver" feature from 48 hours on previous pixel models to 72 hours now on this pixel 7 pro. This is a great feature to have if you're in a pinch and need to prolong your battery life. ==========CAMERA========== The pixel 7 pro takes outstanding pictures with it's triple rear camera system. The pixel 7 pro inherits it's iconic main 50MP camera sensor, 12 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 48MP telephoto lens from it's predecessor but also receives some improvements. We now get an optical-grade 2x zoom and an ultra-wide sensor with an even wider field of view from the previous model. I also love the new macro focus feature which allows you get some close-up macro shots of objects while retaining a high quality image. Pictures on the pixel 7 pro came out looking beautiful with skin tones appearing much more organic and accurate than on a Samsung S22 ultra that I tested it against. Pictures also seem a bit sharper on the pixel 7 pro as compared to the iphone 14 pro or the S22 ultra. I love that pictures on the pixel 7 pro accurately represent colors as opposed to the S22 ultra which seemed to overexaggerate colors. The magic with the pixel 7 pro is in it's processing. Every time after you take a picture, it will take a second or two to process the image in a way it thinks is best. Normally I am against synthetic "enhancements" like this but the pixel 7 pro does such a phenomenal job with choosing the right levels of sharpness, contrast, color temperature, etc. So much so, that I now trust it to apply it's processing and just give me the best photo possible that it can produce. Taking night photos were excellent as the pixel 7 pro performed well even in low lit conditions. While I had great success with 5x/10x/15x zoom when taking photos, using zoom when recording videos sometimes made them look a bit too post-processed as colors would get pretty messy and quite a bit of details were lost. This was also the case with the new cinematic mode. It made videos appear a bit too post-processed or fake. Since I rarely use zoom when recording videos or different video recording modes, these are more minor gripes for me than anything else. Overall, the pixel 7 pro is extremely impressive; especially at the pricing segment that it comes in at. This is one of those phones that's not just worthy of becoming your new daily driver, but it's innovative software could also improve certain qualities of life in a way that other phones haven't been able to. If you're looking for your next flagship Android device, I couldn't recommend this one enough!

The battery does not last long and it gets a little cold

I think the Pixel 7 Pro is what the Pixel 6 Pro should have been. Having previously used Pixel phones starting with the first generation XL on through to the 6 Pro, I feel like the 7 Pro gives the smallest impetus to upgrade from the previous generation compared to other models. While the upgrades over the 6 Pro are relatively minor, most are meaningful and appreciated. Comparisons aside, the Pixel 7 Pro is a great phone that I’d easily recommend it to others. My TL;DR synopsis is that the cameras are great. Though the upgrades to the camera kits are minor, they are quite useful. The 10-bit HDR for videos is a hot mess that isn’t ready for general use. The battery is the most lackluster core component, but I think should roughly match the Pixel 6 Pro. ___[ The Cameras ]___ The wide-angle camera kit gained a 10% bonus field of view over the 6 Pro which is a nice boon, as I thought the wide-angle lens of the 6 Pro was a bit too restrictive. It also gained auto-focus which enables the new ‘Macro Focus’ feature allowing very up-close shots. The first picture attached is of a flower taken in macro mode. This feature feels less impressive though when realizing in certain lighting conditions, you’re better off zooming in from a distance to capture more detail with the other camera kits. The increased zoom of 5x for the telephoto lens over the 6 Pro’s 4x is a very noticeable improvement, allowing great high-detail shots from a distance. This of course multiplies the effectiveness of digital zooming beyond that range but also enhances the intermediary zoom levels which use image stacking between the main and telephoto sensors. The second, third, and fourth photos attached are of a fountain on a pond using the wide-angle camera (0.5x zoom), standard camera (1x zoom), and telephoto camera (5x zoom) respectively. All of the camera kits now support 4K video capture at 60 FPS which is one of those ‘about time, Google’ features. But we also get 10-bit HDR support at 30 FPS which I think needs some refinement before it's ready for use. I found that this mode regularly created unnaturally bright, blown-out shots and often captured much less detail compared to the standard/default HDR. The fifth photo attached is a frame grab from a video of a water feature captured by a Pixel 6 Pro (I know, not a perfect comparison, sorry), which provides a good representation of the natural overcast lighting outside. The sixth photo attached is a similar frame grab from the Pixel 7 Pro, recorded just a few seconds later with the same lighting conditions, but with the new 10-bit HDR enabled. Default settings were used otherwise with no manual adjustments in either case. The sixth photo is much brighter and shows a ton of white speckling added to many of the rocks. The rock at the very bottom left has clearly visible tan and grey tones in the fifth image which is almost completely overtaken by the speckling seen in the sixth image. Worth mentioning is that 10-bit HDR videos are recorded with HEVC (H.265) and codec support/compatibility on other devices could be a problem for some people (I ran into this issue myself). AVC (H.264) is used otherwise (unless manually set to HEVC in the advanced camera settings). ___[ Misc. ]___ When the Pixel 6 Pro was originally released, I had major issues with tapping the screen very often not waking the phone, slow response from the fingerprint sensor, and a high rate of fingerprint rejections. Many updates later, these have all improved greatly. The Pixel 7 Pro seems to have improved even more on these issues. The screen being up to 25% brighter than the Pixel 6 Pro sounds good on paper, but I wouldn’t have guessed the improvement to be that high by looking at them. The built-in speakers sound the same to me as the 6 Pro. It felt to me like the batteries drained roughly the same on the 6 Pro and 7 Pro with active usage, but right now my 7 Pro has less than half the standby time of my 6 Pro. My typical experience with Pixel phones is that they start out with bad standby duration and get better gradually over time, so I expect and hope it’ll eventually match the 6 Pro. Even if it does, I’d say the battery is the most lackluster core component of this phone. I appreciate the reduced curving of the sides of the screen, but any curve provides less than no benefit to me. Unfortunately, many or maybe even most of the standard Pixel 6/7 Pro cases I’ve seen have almost no side screen protection, relying heavily on lips on the top and bottom for bump/crash protection, all for the sake of–it seems–not impeding side-swipe gestures. A silly aesthetic feature that is mostly obscured anyway by cases, coming at the cost of an increased chance of trashing the screen is not my idea of a good tradeoff. For those wanting the arguably least secure and least reliable way to authenticate to their phones among the commonly available options, we now have face unlock. Yay? Apps and Games ran smoothly, though the 7 Pro runs quite hot especially when running graphically taxing games. Cases help a lot as most heat permeates through the back, but a decent amount of heat can still be felt through the screen. While I’ve heard of some people experiencing 5G issues with the Pixel 6 Pro, I didn’t really have such issues on either the 6 Pro or 7 Pro while on the T-Mobile network, so I can’t comment on whether there have been improvements. Calls continue to sound fine with decent volume and clarity on both ends. Google, I get that you are incredibly fond of adding every blurry post-processing gimmick you can think of, but *please* take a moment to add focus bracketing/stacking to your camera app, so we can quickly and easily adjust/increase the effective depth of field of our shots. I think this would add great value to users for relatively little development time invested.

Was looking for a new phone to upgrade to and decided to give the Pixel 7 Pro a go. Have been an Android user for years with a few iOS devices in the mix as well. For starters it's a pleasure to use pure Android compared to other manufacturers' versions of Android. I'm no techie so I can't break down the little nuances but not having duplicates of basic apps makes for a clean start. Googles gestures can be convenient but I'm a bit old school and prefer having the 3 navigation buttons. I wish Google would make the navigation buttons for Chrome the same as they are on iOS. It's kind of lame that if you're scrolling down on Chrome news feed you have to scroll all the way back up to get to the setting button to clear history. The setting button on iOS is always at the bottom of the screen. The one thing I absolutely love about the Pixel is the ability to have multiple users on one phone. This feature disabled on Samsung phones. I love it because it allows me to have my main account plus multiple game accounts as well. Haha The Pixel 7 Pro is lighter than the S20fe it replaced but still has a premium feel to it. The glass back is sleek but also slick. Not an issue for me as I'll be using a case. But until I get it I'll be careful how I hold it and where I set it down. I like the screen size which makes for great gaming and streaming. The resolution is awesome! I wasn't expecting just how clear and smooth the screen looks but I am impressed. I had a weird screen flickering issue the first day but a software update seems to have fixed it. The few games I play look great and no lagging. Movies/videos look great as well. One thing I hadn't realized was that the screen as curved sides. With no case I've had an issue of my fingers touching the curved edge while I'm trying to type or click something. I think a case will solve this issue for me. I had a similar issue with the old S7 edge and S8. Sound is good for basic use, nothing spectacular but also nothing bad. I use Bluetooth headphones if I'm watching a movie or listening to music. So far I've been able to get through a day on a single charge with a few hours of gaming as well as reading/responding to emails and social media. Phone gets a little warm with heavy game play but not that bad. The camera is impressive and I like it better than my last two phones, the Samsung S20FE and Apple iPhone 12 pro. I'm no pro photographer and tend to just use the basic settings and the pictures I've taken have been great in my opinion. One downside to the camera setup on the Pixel 7 Pro is that they had to move the power and volume buttons lower on the side which makes putting it in my cars phone holder an issue as I have to hold the phone at a lower position which makes it sit higher than the bottom plate of my holder. Add the slickness of the phone makes for a not so secure mount. As much as I like the buttons on one side on this phone I think having power on one side and volume on the other might have been better? Another thing I don't like is the inability to connect the Pixel 7 Pro to a TV via the usb-c plug. This is one feature that my Samsung has that makes streaming on a big screen a lot easier. If you're looking for a big screen Android phone the Pixel 7 Pro should be at the top of your list. Overall the Pixel 7 Pro will be my daily driver from now on and I have no regrets making the switch. Great screen Good battery life Great call quality on T-Mobile Slick glass back No usb-c to HDMI Low volume button placement

Phones looks awesome and works good too. But the battery is draining fast.

The Pixel 7 Pro comes in standard box with Google branding on it. An image of the phone is on the front of the box with the SKU, IMEI1, and eSIM ID included on the bottom. The back of the box is bare except for a stamp that reads “#TeamPixel” and the specs of the phone (name, size, capacity, color, etc.). When you open the box, the first thing you will see is the back of the phone. There is a paper tab sticking out from the bottom of the phone that helps you to remove the device from the box. This tab is attached to a larger piece of paper that is affixed to the front of the phone to protect the screen from scratches. While it’s in its own box. Once you remove the phone, you will find the charging cable, a quick switch adapter for data transfer, and a tiny packet of papers that includes set-up instructions as well as a SIM card puller. I typically use a smaller phone and since the Pixel 7 Pro has a screen size of 6.7”, I was immediately taken with the size of it. It feels really good in the hand. It’s not too large to handle, but it does feel a little weighted - not heavy, just weighted. The camera system was instantly noticeable, too, as it takes up the entire length of the phone. Set-up of the phone is easy to walk through. You have the option of setting up as a brand new phone or transferring data from another phone. I set it up as a new phone with one of my Google accounts. You will be asked to insert a SIM card or connect to one. After setting permissions on the phone, you will be ready to start using the phone. Some of the most important features to me on a phone are video quality, audio quality, gameplay, battery life, camera quality, ease of use (general), and call quality. So, those are the areas I looked at closely as I tested out the Google Pixel 7 Pro. Video Quality: This phone has an amazing screen. It’s crystal clear and very bright. I watched several videos on YouTube including 4K and 8K video feeds. It looks amazing. Audio Quality: While the video quality is incredible, the sound quality is only above average. It’s only good - not great. The lows sounded powerful, but the bright tones seemed a little hollow to me. I also thought at 100% volume it could have been louder. Game play: To test out the game play on this phone I downloaded Tetris from the Google Play store and played a few rounds. It was fun. The screen was responsive to commands and the movements and color looked great. I also played a few rounds in Call of Duty Mobile with out any issues. Battery Life: I would say the battery thus far is very good. Out of the box it was less than 100% full and after watching videos, listening to music through YT Music, and playing games, the percentage had fallen to 53%. Camera Quality: The camera is also very impressive. It’s a nice camera system and it takes superb photos. I would have been surprised about the size of the camera bump, but I’m used to the iPhone 14 Pro’s camera, which is quite large. Ease of Use (General): As I mentioned, the phone body feels great in the hands. I also really like that the volume button is on the same side as the power button. It just feels natural. I didn’t have any trouble setting up the phone or inserting a SIM card either. Call Quality: I made quite a few phone calls with the Pixel 7 Pro and they all sounded above average. I didn’t have any trouble hearing or understanding the person on the other end and they said they could hear me just fine as well. The Google Pixel 7 Pro is a great smartphone and it is a step up from other Android-based phones I’ve worked with in the past. It’s an impressive device and worthy of the upgrade.

Coming from OnePlus' late 2020 flagship product 8T+ , it was a pretty much seamless move into Pixel 7. While the Pixel 7's Tensor G2 processor is pretty much similar to OnePlus 8T+'s Snapdragon 865, the pure Android experience is much better than OnePlus's OxygenOS wrapper platform. Pixel 7 seems to be better built and has good ergonomics. That said, it is a tad bit on the heavier side and charging is limited to 30W. I believe this would help battery durability - time will tell. The OP 8T+ died suddenly , failing to charge or restart, which points to battery issue on forums that I read through. Hopefully, Pixel will last me longer enough. Moreover, I had to 'buy' a charger as the Pixel did not come with it and my OnePlus's 65W is not going to be useful as it may end up damaging the Pixel Battery. Phone performance has been great over one week's usage. Having multiple apps opened in background doesn't bother much. Battery life is pretty good. Lasts me a day and a half with normal usage - I am not an avid phone user. Camera is amazing! Bokeh in portraits are fantastic. I just love the magic eraser - works like charm! If you are looking for a standard smart phone with most of the bells and whistles, look no further. I got it at $100 discount during a recent sale, which makes it even better.

I first want to talk about the design and I’m simply nuts over it. I have the black version (obsidian) and it’s a stunner with super clean lines throughout. The dark grey accents around the edges that blend into the camera bump are also a nice blend of just enough gloss without looking chrome. The front glass blends right into the rest of the case with a subtle, curved edge where the display spills over the edge just slightly. The 120Hz display is also fantastic and can get extremely bright. Combine that with the large size and its fantastic for watching videos and reading eBooks is also a great experience. It also has a combination of both a fingerprint unlock hidden in the display as well as face unlock and this is something that I wish all phones have (looking at you, iPhone). Having the option of using my finger if, let’s say I’m wearing sunglasses that prevent my face from being recognized, or vice versa, using face unlock if I’m wearing gloves, is just super handy. Google Pixel phones have been hailed as having amazing cameras and photo quality and this new Pixel 7 Pro continues that trend with 3 versatile cameras on the back as well as a quite capable front-facing camera. The main camera shoots 50, yes 50 megapixel images, and combine that with the f1.85 lens, you can get high quality images from your phone that are actually perfectly appropriate to make larger sized prints. The 7 Pro also has a 12 megapixel ultra wide lens and it also has a 48 megapixel telephoto camera and gotta say, compared to many other zoom lenses on other flagship phones, the image quality is simply stellar. Battery life is fantastic for me where I’m easily getting through a full day of use and I tend to be on my phone a lot. Another reason I like this phone a lot is the flexibility you have with both a physical SIM tray as well as an eSIM. This makes the 7 Pro a really good option if you travel and want to pop in a SIM card from a different country. Sound quality is one area where I wasn’t as impressed where the sound was OK but just wasn’t quite as full as I would expect out of this size of phone. The volume also seems to be slightly less compared to other phones but that may actually be a good thing because at the loudest setting, the sound can get tinny. Overall, I’m super impressed with the 7 Pro with very few shortcomings I can think of. For the price, this is hands-down the flagship phone to choose if you want an Android phone.

My son replace his iphone 13 with the Google Pixel 7 and he is extremely happy with his decision. The photos this phone takes are superior over the iphone. It is a faster phone, and the texting feature the Google Pixel has is far superior to any other phone. Once you use the texting feature I don't think you'll ever want to get another phone again. I purchased the Google Pixel 7 Pro for myself and both versions of this phone are seriously amazing. The user interface is very easy to use and it has nice, cusomizable features. I purchased the hazel color for hte pro and my son purchased the snow color for his regular pixel 7 and both colors are really nice and much nicer in person than in photos or videos online. The battery life is also very good on both the Pro and regular version. The only thing we've noticed is that the phones can get a little warm (nothing extreme at all) when charging or downloading but it cools off quickly. My son has only had iphones in past and he now says he'll only buy Google Pixel phones going forward.

I have been a longtime Android user and most of that was in the Samsung Galaxy, S4-8 & Note 8-20. This phone is absolutely fantastic! The Pixel 7 Pro reminds me a lot of using my significant other's iPhone, but with the flexibility and customizability of Android that I'm used to, with an incredibly smooth and easy setup! The packaging is very nice and recyclable, using mostly recycled paper and minimal other items in the box other than the SIM ejector and USB-C cable, all of which is perfectly fine by me, less waste around the house in the form of cheap stock chargers and unnecessary headphones. The hardware is absolutely stunning! The metal surround and "visor" is a really nice break from the off-center camera bumps of Google's contemporaries. The glass is very slippery, like many new phones, and similarly to my Note 20 Ultra, the curved edges are about the only thing keeping the case-less device from sliding right out of my hands. I noticed this was less an issue after some sweat and hand grease got on it, but then it also looked like it had sweat and hand grease until I cleaned it and the "slick" design returned in all its wet bar of soap-like glory! I opted for a clear, minimalist case because the design is truly distinct and I love the look of the obsidian and chrome! The battery life is great, lasting the whole work day with fairly heavy use. The display looks excellent with amazing colors, and has buttery smooth response! The same can be said about Google's Tensor 2 chip, very responsive and snappy, especially with a lot of apps running in the background! Gaming is very good, I only did a little bit of XBox Game Pass streaming, but the lag was non-existent and the phone only got kind of hot after an hour. Overall, this is a fantastic phone! I would definitely recommend it for both the Android and iPhone faithful, alike! The customization is there for those who want it and the phone/software experience is excellent out of the box! Maybe get a case right away, but your mileage may vary with the slipperiness of the casing and the phone is absolutely gorgeous! Get this phone and people will want to check it out!

At first glance, it may seem like the Pixel 7 Pro is just a minor upgrade over the Pixel 6 Pro. While in some ways, that's true, after using the phone for a few days, you really appreciate all the subtle changes that make the Pixel 7 Pro feel like more than just a minor upgrade. If you've upgrading from a 6 Pro, you'll quickly appreciate the updates in the 7 pro. The fingerprint sensor is much quicker and more reliable. You also get the option to use face unlock with the fingerprint sensor, which is a pretty nice experience. I tend to pick up my phone with my thumb on the sensor area, so between that and the face unlock option looking for me as I pick it up, the phone is unlocked and ready for me as soon as I have it in position to use. If you've used a Pixel before, you may know that one of their most touted features is the camera. The 7 Pro is no different. It's a surprising step above the 6 Pro too. I'm always impressed at each new iteration of the Pixels improvements to the camera. I think the camera on any smartphone is my most used feature. The Pixels have always been at or near the top as a smartphone camera. If you're new to Pixels, or just trying to decide if they're worth it, I think the 7 Pro can easily stand against any other flagship smartphone camera. The additional zoom options, or the impressive macro mode are distinguishing aspects of the 7 pro's camera. Again, coming from a 6 Pro, almost every aspect of the 7 Pro feels like a nice refinement. The body of the phone looks much more elegant and feels more deliberate. The new processor seems like a great improvement over the previous one. Processing photos is now much quicker. Everything just feels good. I think the only part of the phone that I think could use a bit more refinement is the video capturing. I don't think the quality is quite as high as competing flagship models. Overall, if you're in the market for a smartphone, you'd be doing yourself a disserve by not at least considering the Pixel 7 pro. It matches or beats every other flagship smartphone and does so at a much cheaper price.

Nice android experience. Good size. Screen could be brighter.i took this picture with it.

Has the option of going back to the old controls if you're used to the old style.

A lot more needs to be improved. Very less weight no grip in hands

Great little device that satisfies all your needs and desires

I recently purchased the Google Pixel 7, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. This flagship device from Google is truly outstanding, and I am thrilled to share my 5-star review to highlight its remarkable features and overall performance. First and foremost, the Pixel 7's display is absolutely stunning. The vibrant colors, crisp details, and immersive visuals make every video, photo, and app come to life. The 6.4-inch OLED screen is a treat for the eyes, offering deep blacks and excellent contrast. Whether I'm browsing the web, streaming content, or gaming, the display never fails to impress. The camera capabilities of the Pixel 7 are nothing short of phenomenal. Google has consistently set the bar high with their camera technology, and the Pixel 7 takes it to the next level. The dual rear camera system captures breathtaking photos and videos, even in challenging lighting conditions. The quality of the images is outstanding, with remarkable sharpness, accurate colors, and impressive dynamic range. The night mode is a game-changer, allowing me to capture stunning low-light shots effortlessly. Selfies are equally impressive, thanks to the front-facing camera's excellent quality. The camera software, including the AI-powered features and editing options, adds another layer of versatility and creativity. Performance-wise, the Pixel 7 is a beast. The device is powered by a top-of-the-line processor and ample RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking, quick app launches, and seamless navigation through the user interface. I haven't experienced any lag or slowdown, no matter how demanding the task. Additionally, the battery life is impressive, easily lasting me throughout the day with moderate to heavy usage.

Face ID does not work. Slow performance. Battery drain very fast. Don’t buy this product from Best Buy. I regret buying it.

I've recently upgraded to the Pixel 7, and my experience with the phone has been mostly positive. The Google Pixel series has always been a leading contender in the Android market, and the Pixel 7 is no exception. Let's start with the design - the Pixel 7 stays true to its minimalist roots, with a sleek, well-constructed design that feels both modern and robust. It's comfortable to hold, and its weight distribution is balanced, giving it a premium feel. The Pixel 7 continues to shine in the camera department, where Google's software prowess truly comes to the forefront. The quality of images, especially in low light conditions, is simply astonishing. The camera software is robust, with features like Night Sight and Super Res Zoom continuing to impress. One of the most significant enhancements has been the introduction of Google's custom chip. I've noticed a marked improvement in the speed and responsiveness of the device compared to previous generations. Apps load faster, multitasking is smoother, and there is a noticeable improvement in battery life. Speaking of battery life, the Pixel 7's battery is long-lasting, allowing for heavy usage throughout the day without having to scramble for a charger. The fast charging feature is also incredibly convenient, giving a significant battery boost in a short period. The phone runs on the latest version of Android, which, combined with Google's clean UI, delivers a smooth and intuitive user experience. Regular updates and the assurance of a robust privacy and security framework are additional benefits. However, the device isn't without its shortcomings. While the Pixel 7's display is vibrant and sharp, it doesn't quite match up to the highest-end competitors' displays in terms of brightness and color accuracy. Additionally, the lack of expandable storage could be a downside for some users. In summary, the Pixel 7 is a solid choice for anyone invested in the Android ecosystem. It offers an excellent camera, robust performance, and a clean, user-friendly OS. Although it has minor shortcomings, its strengths significantly outweigh its flaws, making it a worthy contender in the premium smartphone market.

Not a great phone but its good to use. Display and sound is not up to the mark when comapared to its compitators.
