Google Pixel 7 & Pixel 7 Pro Review | One Month Later...

Ғылым және технология

Reviewing Google's Pixel 7 Pro and regular Pixel 7 one month later, to see if the camera tech, battery life, gaming performance and other Android 13 bits are still among the best. The Pixel 7 is my personal favourite phone thanks to its compact finish, although the telephoto camera of the Pro is a big miss (as it's one of the best of any smartphone in 2022).
Thankfully that's the only bit of slashed optics, and Google's affordable flagship can capture sharp, detailed photos and great looking video almost any time of day. If you thought Samsung's Galaxy S22 Ultra or the iPhone 14 Pro Max were good, the Pixel 7 series are a step beyond.
Gaming on either phone is relatively smooth these days, even if you boost those Genshin Impact settings right up. The Pixel 7 Pro and standard phone both use Google's Tensor G2, as crafted with Samsung. It's not the beefiest smartphone chipset out there, but it's absolutely fine for everyday activities. Although the Pixel 7 handsets do get rather warm at times.
So that's what I think of these blowers after using them as my full-time phones for a month. Let me know your own thoughts below!

    7 Pro since release... best phone I've ever owned, and I definitely put it through its paces. Was running warm with lesser battery life in the first week or so, until the battery optimization figured out how I use the device. Cool as a cucumber now with full day battery life. Couldn't be happier.

    Been using the base Pixel 7, and I have been loving it quite a lot! Was an apple guy for quite a while (4S, 6, and 8 Plus) and always opted for apple as I was in the apple ecosystem, and just wanted a phone that worked. But as of late, with their pricing going higher and higher and the anti-repair behavior they have, I decided if I can't easily replace components, might as well find something cheaper, and something that allowed me to sideload applications as I chose. Also, I didn't particularly like Apple Watches (battery life sucked so I switched to a Garmin Instinct Solar), and while the earpods pro have great sound, I preferred wired earphones for the same audio quality at a much cheaper price (Moondrop Starfield). Furthermore, I didn't have many other Apple devices (laptop, home, ect.), so there wasn't much hardware-wise tying me to that ecosystem. My first dip into the Android ecosystem earlier this year was buying a used Samsung s10e (initially just for retro emulation), and after 2 weeks of frustration trying to unlearn the apple way of doing things, I had a phone that worked, was nice and small, and certainly cheaper. However, with the end of security updates coming up soon for that model, I wanted to find something that would have a long support life as I don't like switching out phones very often. The Pixel 7 has blown me away. There are some strange glitches and freezes in apps here and there, but overall the battery life is fantastic (there are some instances that if I know the following day won't have heavy usage, I won't bother charging my phone at night when at 40-50%). The camera is really good (although I haven't been able to put the astro-photography through its paces yet, so we'll see), and I'm able to play my emulation software really easily and conveniently on the device. I will also say that it didn't have the frustrating/confusing setup that the Samsung s10e had. I tried setting up autofill passwords on the Samsung and there was the Knox system and then saving passwords via your google account, and it wasn't as fluid an experience as on iOS. The bixby button I also found a little dumb on the Samsung, and the left-swipe screen (whatever it was) was annoying to accidently swipe into and didn't do anything for me. The Pixel 7, I feel, would be a phone I would be comfortable recommending to longtime users of iOS looking for a compact experience that's easy to make a switch to...however, what is still a pain is getting Apple bought media (music, tv shows, ect.) onto my phone, and is annoying since I love listening to my music and all of that is in the Apple ecosystem. But it makes sense, if I was apple, I'd do the same way to discourage people from jumping between the two. Also makes sense why the Pixel is so user-friendly compared to Samsung, google makes both the hardware and software in this case (much like on the apple side), so of course it would be user-friendly. Hopefully I don't have to jump from Google in 10 years, as I'm not sure what a phone experience with Linux would be like. :|

Took a punt on both the 6 and 6 Pro last year and had to return both due to bugs and glitches making them useless for what I needed. Sad as I loved using them. Wanted to try again as the new models are apparently mostly fixed and safe to say I'm not disappointed this time around, best android phones going and a bargain compared with the current Samsung and iPhone line ups!

    Thanks for another great review 😊😊 The flat screen is one of the reasons I went for the Pixel 7 myself; I had a Pixel 6 Pro and I found the curved display meant my chunky cover barely protruded above the screen and was a big factor in the screen shattering :( I found the Zoom lense wasn't something I used much on the 6 Pro too, great cam of course, just not much use by me. Stoked with the 7 so far, the face unlock is just amazing, and the upgraded fingerprint is a huge upgrade too.

Having said that, I don't regret going for the regular 7 as I've never had a phone with a great telephoto so I don't know what I'm missing really.

    It would not be wise to release an extra pixel 7 where the only difference is a telephoto. Also, good camera systems take up a lot of space, so it can be difficult to fit it in a small phone without compromising on battery, or impacting thermals. The bigger the phone, the less thermal energy per unit volume, and therefore lower temperatures.

    Seriously, if Google would just launch a pixel 7 sized phone with zoom lens, and have it cost mid way between the 7 and 7 pro, we would have the perfect Android phone on our hands. Since I have the 6, I'm going to hold off on upgrading this year, don't really see where it's worth it. My work phone is about the same size as the pixel 7 pro and I absolutely hate the size of it. I always tend to get palm taps while I'm scrolling through content.

We visited the St. Louis zoo and attended a concert the same night. My pics and videos from the zoo and concert blew their phones away. A LOT of my photos were pushing the digital zoom passed the 5x zoom. They were fantastic. The video I took at the zoo and the concert were crystal clear, and surprisingly, the video taken at the concert was crystal clear for audio as well. I'm really happy with the 7 pro.

    @@dawidpietrykowski yes its manageable. Especially with a good case, like the Grip from dbrand. Once I put that on the phone it got easier to hold. Its still much bigger and often requires two hands to operate. The cameras are worth it though. I already took some amazing photos and videos.

    Still got my old OP5 as a backup! Killer phone that I got a ton of use from. Got a Samsung S20 FE after that and while it was alright, it didn't blow me away and honestly for the first couple months I missed the lighter weight and MUCH better fingerprint scanner on the OnePlus. Going back to Google finally (I was a huge Nexus fan back in the day) and I can't wait to try out the 7. Pro looks great but I hate the shit out of waterfall screens. Would have been awesome to have the nicer camera on the smaller, flat screen phone but it's not worth the extra 300 bucks when the screen isn't what I'm after and it's kind of huge.

    I was worried that Pixel 7 Pro would be a hot mess since it's still made with Samsung 5nm. Luckily it's not hot and I have not encountered any temperature or connectivity issues so far. I was also on the fence about the practicality of the telephoto camera. However I found myself using it quite often, making the camera experience the most flexible I've experienced yet.

    I'm just about to swap a Sony 1 ii for a Pixel Pro 7. Would love to get the Sony 1v but it's twice the price of the Pixel, which is currently on offer. I love my Sony, but I have a budget - as pointed out by Mr Techspurt, the cost of living in the UK is a 'bit' of a crisis atm. Based on the reviews, fingers are crossed for a phone that will out smart the Sony, even if it lacks the phonejack and additional storage. As for the clear 'pro' settings of the Sony, I'm not going to miss them: if I want 'proper' dslr settings then I'll use my proper dslr...
