Customer Ratings & Reviews

It was a great decision to purchase this as my Pixel 3a was going out of the full security update support loop. I got this open box and saved money. I am SO happy I moved forward with this phone. Fast, sleek, and not as big as I was worried about. I didn't want a phone that would cause arthritis trying to hold in one hand and this one seems to be just about the right size for me. Bigger storage capacity, faster speeds, included 5G capability, and the case I bought (not the bulky ones at the store) is fantastically beautiful. I use Straight Talk as my service provider and the only issue I had was trying to use their proprietary transfer wizard. Oh yes, it transferred things, except what I wanted like all my apps, texts, etc. After literally 18 hours straight of trying again and again, I looked online and followed Google's instructions. DONE. The camera takes even better photos than my beloved Pixel 3a camera which is honestly just an added bonus. The battery life has been consistently great as well. It does charge slower than my Pixel 3a and I use the same charger that I used for before, but that's no big deal for me. Happy.

I’ll start by saying that I have had just about every high-end Pixel phone since Pixel phones have existed, apart from the Pixel 5, and I must say, this is by far the best. I know that every year the phones are supposed to be better than the last and it Is what is expected, but Google really did a great job with the 7 Pro. It feels more premium, looks more premium and operates more premium. The new tensor G2 chip packs quite the punch. Everything just feels more fluid, and smoother compared to last years Pixel. Google seems to have really invested more time into the attention and detail of what made the Pixel 6 Pro so great and ironed things out with the 7 Pro. The screen clarity and brightness, the chip, the camera. Not to mention the much-needed improvement to the under the screen fingerprint reader as well as the return of face unlock (finally!) The only thing I really feel Google truly needs to work on is battery life. Don’t get me wrong, you can get exceptional battery life with extreme battery saver mode, but I do not like having to sacrifice some features to get peace of mind for battery. It’s better than last year’s model, but I really hope we see a lot of effort next year with the next Pixel release. But hey, we are here for the cameras mostly, and oh my do they excel. Pixel has always been known for exceptional camera quality, but this year, WOW. With the introduction of Macro Focus, you can get truly incredible photos. I took some photos that you can see attached of tiny little mum flowers sitting outside my house, and I was blown away by the detail and water detail I was able to capture. Same with a leaf I took a shot of the veins of the leaf look insane. I can’t get over the detail this camera can get. It’s truly an all-in-one camera system, between Macro, Super Res Zoom, Cinematic blur, Photo unblur, there really isn’t a shot you can’t get with this system. Oh and, it is a phone after all. So, we are supposed to take calls and make calls, right? This must be the crispest sounding phone for taking calls. Things are so clear with no background noise, that I have to make sure I am even still on the call. If you’re a Pixel fan, android fan, and are unsure if you want to take the leap, do it, you won’t regret it. Any issues you may have had in last years Pixel or Pixels prior, forget the past and move on, because the Pixel 7 series feels like a fresh start in the right direction for the Pixel series.

Wow - What a phone! I have been using an iPhone for more years than I care to admit so I was not sure what to expect when switching to a "pure" android phone. It's intuitive enough that I barely had to think about anything. The setup wizard connected to my google account, walked me through importing contacts and that - was - that. I'm currently using this with T-mobile and Google FI at the same time thanks to support for 2 e-sims and one physical sim. Setting which carrier is preferred for outbound calls and to be used as the primary for data is simple and prompt driven. It's also easy to switch carrier preferences. I'm seeing data rates on the 5G network in the high 100's of Mbps. I have had no issues while traveling out of town with service. As someone who has not used an android phone in years - I expected this switchover to be cumbersome and that I would have to get used to a completely different OS. The reality was much simpler. The UI is polished and the phone contains no 3rd party launchers or per-installed carrier applications to get in the way of use. It made me realize how much "junk" is littering up my Samsung android tablet. Aside from being a flagship phone with the huge screen and all the bells and whistles - The camera and image processing on this phone is somewhere out in the realm of unreal. I intentionally took piles of "bad snapshots" just to see how much it can compensate. I tried every mode the wrong way, I filmed video while standing in the shade pointed towards the sun etc. . . . This is where this phone truly shines. While of course not every shot and video is picture perfect - the processing on this makes up for my misuse in ways I did not even expect often producing usable to brilliantly good photos where I absolutely did not expect them. What I love ! -Pure Bloatware Free Android experience -The best camera setup I have used to date ! -HUGE screen ! Not so great - -No Micro-SD card slot - buy the storage you need when you buy the phone. -No charger included - Just cables. Overall – This phone is epic ! I will be switching my wife and daughter to these shortly !

I think I paid about $120 with a iphone 11 trade in more than a year ago. So far the phone has been pretty awesome for the price I paid. Pros: - Plain vanilla android with latest and fastest updates. - speedy performance, no lags - Good camera. - decent battery life. - great display. Cons: - picture quality not the best. I was hoping for better quality pics than on iphone 11, but was disappointed. Some noise on most photos when zoomed, even when shot on very good light conditions. My older Pixel 3XL pictures are clearer and better. I use my Samsung S22 for all my pictures and video needs. So much better on S22 than on this Pixel. - Random layer of tiny spinning balls come up several times every day, making the phone unusable until you swipe up and close that whatever all/layer, which can get pretty irritating and frustrating. No way to disable that behavior, even after updates and factory resets. Unless you get an awesome deal, I don't recommend this phone. Get a used galaxy s22 or other Samsung phones instead.

Not user friendly, numerous issues, zero help from Google and Best Buy.

Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, I assumed I was getting the full Android experience. I knew the Pixel line was Google's version of the platform, but never used one before except for maybe playing with a few for a few minutes from a display unit. You don't know what you're missing until you use one for your everyday phone. The first thing I noticed was how fluid the experience is. It's snappy, it's smooth as ever. I love the minimalism to the UI. Over the years Samsung's version has gotten better, but I still feel like their additions to Android can be cumbersome at times. This Pixel line is not only more fluid from my S21 Ultra, but it's much less expensive, which in the end, is what we are all looking for, right? A flagship experience for a budget price. Now, I know the Pixel Pro version is still $899, which isn't exactly cheap, but in comparison it is. The value is there! The camera on these are impressive. The hardware seems top quality, but the software is where this phone shines the most. The processing results of the photos are the best I've ever seen. You can snap photos as quickly as is possible with a phone. The shutter is almost instant.This comes in especially handy with quick moving children. With all that being said, I think the best feature of a Pixel is hands down the spam stopper. No more annoying spam calls or texts! The software they have implemented is so great that you don't even know it stops the calls or texts. It just does. You can adjust the sensitivity with it too! All in all this is how Android should be experienced. My hope is that one day the Pixel line up will have an Ultra version that has the top hardware to pair with it's leading software for us who want the best of both worlds. But if I had a choice between software and hardware, I'd pick software every single time.

I was so excited to switch from my galaxy s20 ultra and upgrade to the Google Pixel 7 Pro. Im a mom of 5 so camera quality is always the first thing i look for in a phone. Im constantly taking photos and videos of my kids so it was the first feature i went to on the pixel phone. The camera quality is absolutely amazing and extremely clear. I was able to see across the field and see my neighbors decorations on her porch, clear as day the wording on her sign and all! I absolutely love the camera on the pixel and definitel thibk its a step up from what i had previously. I love the different features in the camera app as well. When using the phone, there is no lag in browsing through the apps, internet, or playing games. Everything runs quite smoothly. It has great service on calls and texts. I love the slim design with the large screen. I went in and set all my personalized settings like ringtones and vibrations, brightness, and setup all my apps that i wanted downloaded. Everything was easily done and up to par. Overall i really love the pixel 7 pro because of its canera quality.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the awe-inspiring capabilities of the Google Pixel 7, and I must say, it has left an indelible mark on my smartphone experience. From its stunning design to its exceptional performance, this device truly stands out as a flagship contender. First and foremost, the Pixel 7’s display is a sight to behold. The vivid colors and impressive clarity provide an immersive visual feast, making every image, video, and app come alive. Whether I was browsing the web, watching movies, or editing photos, the display’s crispness and vibrant hues made each moment a delight. The device’s camera system is a game-changer. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the Pixel 7 captures breathtaking photos and videos. The improved low-light performance ensures stunning shots even in challenging conditions. The level of detail, dynamic range, and natural colors are unparalleled, giving professional photographers a run for their money. The advanced AI-powered features, such as astrophotography mode and enhanced portrait effects, elevate the Pixel 7’s photography capabilities to new heights. Performance-wise, the Pixel 7 truly shines. Powered by a lightning-fast processor and ample RAM, this smartphone breezes through tasks and multitasking without a hitch. Whether I was gaming, streaming, or running resource-intensive apps, the Pixel 7 delivered smooth, lag-free performance every step of the way. Additionally, the battery life exceeded my expectations, easily lasting me through a full day of heavy usage. One of the standout features of the Pixel 7 is its integration with Google’s ecosystem. The seamless connection with Google Assistant, Google Photos, and other services offers unparalleled convenience. The ability to effortlessly sync data, automate tasks, and access Google’s suite of productivity tools further enhances the overall user experience. Moreover, the Pixel 7’s software experience is a breath of fresh air. Running on the latest Android version, it showcases Google’s commitment to a clean, intuitive interface with timely updates and robust security features.

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.

Pixel phoneThe Android phone offers a sleek design and a vibrant display, making it visually appealing. The phone's camera captures sharp images with good detail. The battery life is impressive, lasting throughout the day with moderate use. The phone's performance is smooth and responsive, handling multitasking and gaming effortlessly. Overall, a reliable choice.

If your coming from an older pixel 3 then get ready for a larger phone in your pocket. It's also heavier! it's an adjustment! Battery life is pretty great, lasts about 2 days of constant use as long as you charge it at around 10% to a full 100% and then use it again off charge. Camera is much sharper than the pixel 3. Phone speakers don't sound as good as the 3. New version of the android os is snappy and fast.

I just got the Pixel 7 on Friday the day after the release day. I'm migrating from a Samsung S21 5G so I've always gravitated towards the value, smaller flagship phones. Trade-in amount was great direct and almost covered the full cost of the phone/equal to what I paid for it. It was mainly for the great intro deal that I jumped at upgrading a phone that was only 1.5 years old. Also read about the Samsung batteries expanding... Nondescript package came 1 day after ordering. In box, comes with USB-C cable and a USB to USB-C adaptor, no AC adaptor plug at all. I had thought about getting the lemongrass then the white but ended up getting the boring black on the advice of my daughter but also thought it would stand up to wear and tear the best. Out of the box it's very very glossy. It's OK but it's had fingerprints since you first touch it. One weird thing is the box was scuffed up on the outside and the phone had particles on it like it had been opened but this was straight from the factory. I tried to use an eSIM to activate and save the trip to the store but a las the technology didn't work and phone got stuck in a activation no where land. Luckily on Saturday there was a store open that could help me out b/c the phone support is closed on weekends?! Long story short, store was able to get on the phone with their "specialists" and get the phone activated by using a physical SIM. After that, brought the phone home went through the menus and use a USB-C to migrate my apps, data over in no time. Easiest upgrade ever (aside from the activation hiccup which is par for course). Overall first impressions is it's a much nicer phone that my Samsung Galaxy S21. Feels better built with more weight with a cleaner more responsive UI than the Samsung One UI. I looked at online videos to learn how to switch between active apps. I really never did like or find value in all the Samsung apps, much prefer a pure, clean OS which of course the Pixel is. Power button, volume up/down are flipped between the Samsung and the Pixel but intuitively I much prefer the Pixel with the power on the top. As I said, I mainly got the Pixel b/c of the trade-in deal that essentially made the phone free to upgrade. I saw the launch event and was very excited about the unblur photo option and being a tech person all the AI/ML stuff enabled by the new Tensor G2. So far after 2 days very glad I upgraded. I have to confess I also upgraded b/c I was having issues with cellular connectivity on through my Verizon MVNO carrier and I read online that this could be a Samsung issue. I'm not a gamer and use my phone mainly to text, as a MFA code generator, for vendor apps (restaurants, transit), and web browsing so my demands are not that great. I'll report back after a while with an update on reliability and any issues found.

This phone doesn't just feel like you're using a smartphone. It feels like you're carrying a little tech buddy that genuinely tries it's best to help you out in any way it can. The amount of features packed into the software are just amazing. Call screening, now playing, and live translate are some of my personal favorite. On top of the plethora of features, the phone is just so easy to personalize to your liking. Google's Material You theming is by far the most playful and visually pleasing software experience out there. Lastly, there's the cameras and overall performance. It's a quick, snappy, and smooth phone that handles every task with ease. Unsure about it's gaming performance as I don't game on my phone, but I can imagine it's relatively good as well. The cameras are genuinely fantastic. Google's color/photo algorithm is unmatched. This is probably the best point and shoot camera on a smartphone right now. The battery lasts about 2 days for my personal use and charges relatively quickly. Overall, this is a genuinely fantastic little device. It's fast, extremely helpful, and fun to use. There's a reason why this particular device won MKBHD's smartphone of the year award.

Performance-wise, the Pixel 7 is impressive. It operates on Android 13 and is powered by Google's Tensor G2 chip, making it incredibly fast and smooth to use. Even compared to higher-priced models like the Samsung Galaxy S22, the Pixel 7 holds its own with its superior camera quality and overall performance. The camera system, despite lacking a telephoto lens, still manages to capture stunning photos. I also appreciate Google's creative camera features that make it easy to capture professional-quality photos. One of the highlights of the Pixel 7 is the display. The 6.3-inch OLED screen offers crisp and vivid visuals, and while the 90Hz refresh rate isn't the highest on the market, I feel like it still provides a noticeably smoother experience than a standard 60Hz display. On the downside, I do wish the device had a faster charging feature, and the absence of a telephoto camera is a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, for the price point, these are minor trade-offs.

Upgraded from my Pixel 6. The cost of the phone was less about $50 after trade-in and gift card, though it was another $100 for the screen protector and case. :/ The phone is zippy, great screen, fits nicely in my hand (I like that it's a bit smaller than the Pixel 6). Android has managed to make the transfer from one phone to another incredibly painless, with all the apps restored, and even the app shortcuts restoring to the new home screen, and settings copied to the new device. My one complaint is that the fingerprint reader still fails more often than not, but face unlock sometimes saves the day. I miss the fingerprint reader on the back of my Pixel 3; that thing worked every time. For BestBuy's part, the phone arrived really quickly, and the $100 BestBuy gift card is more flexible than a $100 Google Store credit, but I've been waiting for more than a week for the trade-in shipping kit, and after emailing BestBuy twice, I've still heard nothing. Eventually, I'll have to make my way into a store to complete the trade-in, which has somewhat soured what was otherwise a pleasant transaction.

Best Buy has taken an already glorious phone, and supercharged the trade-in program to make upgrading an absolute no brainer. The Pixel 7 is a thing of beauty compared to my old Pixel 4a, and I was super happy with that phone after 2 years of use. I'd had zero plans of upgrading any time soon, but the insane deal Best Buy put out there made it too good to pass up. The Pixel 7 itself is a thing of beauty. It may not be a flag ship Samsung or IPhone, but it also costs half as much. I was a Samsung fanboy early on, getting a Galaxy 3 and Galaxy 5 on launch - but these new Google phones consistently impress me in a way the Samsungs never did. If you're sorta cutting edge, but not about to spend a grand on a phone - this is the sweet spot. The camera is unimaginable just 5 - 7 years ago. The display may not keep up with the IPhone, but it is impressive for the investment and the battery life seems to have turned a corner. Looking forward to more hours!

The Pixle 7 is a great phone got it as a replacement for an older secondary phone. It replaced and older LG V30 it blows that phone out the water on all levels. The Pixle 7 is fast and snappy, the display is vibrant and clear. The units 5g is fast constantly seeing 500+ mbs downloads on my network. Transfer of old phone date is east as pie if your and android user. Getting it in unlocked is the best no carrier bloatware just put android as google intended it. Got the unit in the white wouldn't not have it in a case seems as if the white picks up dirt fast. Camera is great I think its better than on my Note 10+ plus 5G . The camera seems to take images more ture to life as you see them with your eye no noticeable over saturated look. Battery life is good. Phone is lightweight and fits in your had well.

I was upgrading from a very outdated phone that I had for 5 years, so this was a treat for me. The camera is great. I'm actually a professional photographer and it impressed me. The low-light camera function is incredible. I'm still trying to figure out how it works. The magic eraser is so cool for removing objects in the background. The overall functionality of the phone has been wonderful. I've had it for over a year. The only thing I would say is the battery already seems to be degrading a bit. I got an external battery brick to solve that problem. Other than that, I'm pretty happy across the board.

I recently purchased the Pixel 7 in the 128GB variant, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with its performance, design, and overall user experience. The black color adds a sleek and sophisticated look to the device, making it visually appealing. One of the standout features of the Pixel 7 is its exceptional camera system. The image quality is stunning, with sharp details, accurate colors, and excellent low-light performance. The advanced computational photography capabilities truly shine through, capturing breathtaking photos even in challenging conditions. The addition of various camera modes and editing options allows for creative flexibility, making every shot a joy to capture and share.

I think it's a great device, fast enough, has great skills, great camera settings, and the battery life WOW, love google pixel for the pure software
