I’ve been on the Google phone train going back to the Nexus days. In the beginning it was about getting the pure, unbloated Google experience with fast software updates. I’ve always just sort of accepted that I would never have the ‘best’ phone, but I would have the best experience. The Pixel 6 Pro last year felt like it was finally going to be the phone to have both, but some rough edges and bugginess that came a bit after its release put a damper on the ‘experience’ part. Software updates improved things a bit, but it feels like Google really went in and fixed everything with the Pixel 7 Pro. It feels a lot like the phone that maybe should have come out last year and while not everything is perfect, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a fantastic phone and a great value if you’re looking for a high-but-not-quite-highest end Google experience.
Getting the phone unboxed I immediately noticed the difference in build quality. The 6 Pro wasn’t a badly built phone by any means, but it had some funky bits like the bolted-on camera bar and large plastic antenna bar. The 7 Pro changes the glass camera bar to aluminum and seamlessly blends the camera part into the frame of the phone. I’ve seen reviews where that aluminum bar seems to scratch easily though and will be keeping mine in its case 99% of the time to avoid that. The antenna cutout at the top is significantly reduced and it’s a lot less noticeable now. The screen is still curved, which is not my favorite, but the curve has been reduced and is not so aggressive on the 7 Pro. The buttons feel as good as ever and have been lowered slightly from the 6 Pro so they’re easier to reach now.
Setup was straightforward. I transferred everything over from my Pixel 6 Pro via USB and was up and running in under an hour. One thing I’ve always enjoyed about Google phones is they don’t load them up with bloat and I can happily say that is the case here as well. Carrier versions may preload a couple carrier apps like MyVerizon, but those are easy to remove if you don’t use them. Android 13 isn’t a huge change over Android 12 from last year, but it’s had the benefit of time to sort out all of Android 12’s associate bugs. So far I can’t recall encountering any bugs with the 7 Pro, at least none that have stuck in my mind. I’ll be keep my eye on this though as the experience with my 6 Pro was initially very good and it wasn’t until a month or so later when the bugs really set in.
Performance so far has been excellent on the 7 Pro. The Tensor G2 isn’t the highest end processor you can get on an Android phone, but I couldn’t really tell from my usage. Everything loads quickly and all the animations are very snappy. I’ve also noticed a big improvement with image processing on the camera. It’s not a huge jump over the original Tensor from last year, but I don’t think it really needed to be. Wireless connectivity is also much improved this time around. It was never an outright hindrance for me on the 6 Pro, but I’ve definitely noticed stronger cellular signals. The screen is a 6.7” 120Hz OLED like last year and looks great. Supposedly it does get brighter than the 6 Pro, but in general it looks fairly similar. Screen resolution is QHD, but out of the box it’s set to FHD. I assume this is for battery reasons, but I went ahead and set mine to full resolution and so far I am not regretting that decision. The 7 Pro has a similar stereo speaker setup to last year’s Pixel and they sound good for both calls and watching videos.
The fingerprint reader on the 6 Pro was definitely my biggest gripe with that phone. It was just far too inconsistent for me and I never felt like I could trust I’d get my phone unlocked on the first try. Unfortunately I can’t say if the fingerprint reader on the 7 Pro is that much better, but Google added face unlock this year and that’s helped the general usability for me a lot. Face unlock uses the front camera and there’s no special IR hardware involved. It works really well in good lighting, but tends to fall apart as soon as the lights dim. I would classify as ‘okay’ along with the fingerprint reader, but the nice thing is you can use both together and typically when one of them misses, the other one hits, so despite neither of them being great, together it creates a much better unlocking situation.
The main camera has the same sensor, but Google brought improvements to the ultrawide and telephoto lenses and added some extra software tricks to make it even better. The 50MP camera now has a trick similar to what Apple has done on the new iPhones that lets you do a 2x zoom using just the center portion of the image sensor. This effectively gives you a native 2x zoom, albeit using smaller pixels. They’ve done the same thing with the now 5x telephoto, so with 3 cameras you now have an ultrawide, 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x zooms with no digital upsampling. The ultrawide camera also gets a macro mode, which is pretty cool. Photos from the main camera still look the best of the 3, but I’ve gotten pictures from each of the lenses at multiple zoom levels that I’m really happy with. Pictures still have that signature very contrasty Pixel look that sometimes feels just a tad over processed and I do wish there was a way to back that off just a bit. The video quality has also improved and you can now record in 10-bit HDR, which looks great, but is limited to 30fps. I do wish Google’s camera app had a 24fps selection for video for a more cinematic look.
The battery life so far for me has not been top class, but still very good. Starting at 4am and ending around 9pm-10pm I’m usually at 30-40%. It’s not quite the full 2-day experience that I’ve been able to get with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, but it’s nothing I’m ever concerned about.
In the week I’ve spent with the Pixel 7 Pro, I’ve often forgotten I’m not carrying my 6 Pro around anymore, but the subtle improvements have added up to an overall much better experience for me. If you already have the 6 Pro I don’t necessarily think you need to rush out and upgrade, but if you were wary of jumping on the Pixel train last year because of all the software issues so far I can say they appear to be a thing of the past. I still recommend the Pixel series to anybody looking for an Android phone and the Pixel 7 Pro hasn’t given me any reason to change my mind.

It's been a great phone. It did take a bit to learn some of the new organization and features. But it's got a great camera, lots of storage, and it's tougher than iPhones. I am attaching an action shot of my kitty, playing. The shutter is quick!

I’ve had an iOS phone for many many years. Haven’t had an android phone since then. I have to say there is a learning curve to get the os down. But it’s easy enough. And I miss how android is super customizable. And I love the look of android auto as well.
The pixel pro 7 is a great phone. The screen is super sharp, bright and smooth with the 120hz refresh rate. Very vivid and deep rich colors. From watching Netflix In bed to playing my old favorite android games. I even enjoy the camera cut out look as well. The slight curve screen looks cool but isn’t necessarily in my opinion. I prefer traditional flat screens as when watching YouTube, TikTok and the like,I sometimes press the play pause button. Which isn’t a hige deal but did bother me a bit. Just have to get used to it. I do have rather large hands tho so yea.
Button placement is perfect even for a large phone size. Buttons are very tactile as well. Not soft or mushy like other brands.
Battery last forever. Even while watching TikTok and browsing for the hours I do on the daily. The wireless charging works great too. I don’t know if it’s a larger area than my old phone but I can find the right spot on my charging pad very quickly . Charge time is super fast as well. But Google didn’t include a charger brick which is unfortunate for some. But I have plenty lying around.
Camera is amazing as most know. I’ve heard that googles pixel pro line was top notch and now I know why. Although I don’t use my camera on my phone as much as others(have dslr) I have to say that the sharpness and clarity is amazing. Way beyond my old phone. Zoom Is great too. Night shots are ridiculously detailed and clean. This camera allows so much light in with such a small sensor. Still amazes me how technology has advanced so fast. Google knows what they are doing with both the hardware and the software.
The processor from what I’ve seen works great too. Although I never had the previous versions so I can’t speak to how they have changed unfortunately. But I will say everything is snappy and very responsive. No issues whatsoever.
Design is beautiful. Unique but without trying too hard. Sleek yet trendy. Phone is super nice. I did have to put a case on it to protect it long term. Also since the glass is curved, you can’t put a tempered glass protector on it just the film. But I heard the glass is much more durable than years ago. So I should be ok. ( I hope lol)
Speakers are good. Not amazing. Yes loud and clear for sure. But they kinda lack the mid range depth that I am used too. And the sound is loud it does sound a bit tinny imo. Still good but not perfect for me.
If I have to say what I don’t like about the phone, it would be the face unlock. It works but not all the time. And while the fingerprint works great I prefer face unlock because it’s easy and quick. I’m sure Google will fix that this issue with a software update. And being that pixel phones get those updates first it shouldn’t be too long. Also with ios you can add a VIP and get special alerts with special ring tones. And unless I’m missing something you can’t easily add a vip to android phones. I need that feature and I hope the make it easier In the future. I need that for business stuff and I’m sure many others do to.
Other than that this phone is amazing especially at this price point. I know competitors charge way more for these top of the line specs. So you get a great phone for a very reasonable price.

I am a first time pixel owner. I've been on iOS since the iPhone 3GS came out and I was very vested in the whole ecosystem but there were several things but I did not like about the iPhone and all the services associated with it. I was very hesitant and skeptical of going to Android but I made an absolute excellent choice going with the standard pixel 7. I love how it interacts with my Google nest hub and my nest doorbell camera and security cameras . Pretty much all of the Google apps and integration are very well thought out and pretty much seamless. I have no regrets leaving my iPhone behind.

Upgrading from Pixel 6 to Pixel 7. I can see all the care Google put in this product. They took all the feedback on Pixel 6 like the minor bugs, average battery life and bad modem to make Pixel 7 THE BEST ANDROID PHONE. It provides a Clean bloatware free android experience.
