Love my 7 pro. Sometimes I lock it and unlock it just to see the cool animation from the fingerprint sensor 🙂
glad that I'm not the only one doing that
What animation? The white pulse around the scanner?
Wow... Just wow
@@lilmario0 no, but the whole shade to reach the home screen with some artifacts on the selfie camera and the cool thing the shades changes colors depending on theme and colors selection you make
same w the power on and off animation from WHERE the power button is MMMM
Nice job on the Pixel review after 6 months. I have the Pixel 7 pro and I would say the one thing that I'm not so happy with is the battery life. It's okay but for a phone this size with as big as of a battery it has. It's not great. The cameras the voice to text typing is great. The call screening and the call waiting recorder app. These are all they all work great. Use them all the time. That haptic feedback that's also great. I'm thinking or I'm hoping that the pixel 8 gives us much better battery life and standby time.
Tip turn off the higher frame rate to 60 hz
It is rare, in Mexico and Latin America the Pixels are highly appreciated, they do not have the problems that all the comments say they have, there is a good signal reception, the Wi-Fi works excellent, they do not overheat, the sound in the Bluetooth headphones and the speakers don't sound bad.
I have an iPhone 14 pro max and although I prefer this one I also use the pixel very frequently for my day to day life and have no complaints it's not a perfect phone although the battery life and charging sucks the heating in the cell It's normal, but man, I have the iPhone 14 pro max and it heats up just the same.
Regarding photographs, I much prefer the pixel, and in terms of shaped screens, the same as the pixel seems better to me, but Samsung is indeed superior in this section and also in sound.
I'm sorry if my English is lousy, I'm translating this through google.
Greetings
SO MUCH THIS!
the pixel 7 pro is the worsrt piece of shit I have ever owned, if you like a phone that weighs more than 🐽Amy Shmuer 🐷and still manages to not even get 1h 45m SOT and won't even get you through 1/3 of a day even if you never take it out of your pocket( in fact the only way to make it last 1/3 of a day is by not using the actual screen more than ten minutes all day), a phone that is 100% gauranteed to be dead when you wake up , a phone that overheats doing nothing at all and nearly goes supernova when updating apps then by all means buy this out of control trash fire of a device.
If you like a phone that will make your pantaloons drop to your ankles and make it feel like you have a hot brick of shit in your britches
with more gremlins than the parking lot at a 1973 skynyrd concert then by all means buy this flaming chemical toilet of a phone.
Did I also metion the battery life is pure trash too?
@@heatorder2632 1.45 hours on a great day
I currently own the current Pixel 7. It has everything I need. I enjoyed your review on the Pixel 7. After hearing your review on the Pixel 7 pro, I feel confident in my selection
+1 Battery can be optimised a bit. Otherwise perfect product for 600$
My pixel 7 Pro came I hoping it please me 😅
@@kirankumarTalluri-9 to be honest phone surprised! Me great phone
Same. I decided the 7 was definitely the most bang for my buck. Also, I've been using a galaxy s20 ultra for the past 3 years and I'm tired of the huge screen. I think 6.3 is perfect. Compared to my 6.9.
I own pixel 7 pro, But from last 1.5 months phone is switching off alot of times whenever i play game's or scroll over the display.
Few days back I've sent my phone in there service centre for a replacement because it's under warranty but they rejected the replacement by saying that there's no hardware issue in my phone,and said that we've installed a new software in it.
And the moment i received back my phone,i was cleaning the display of my phone,again it got switched off.Better to opt for a different brand from now.
There services sucks.
They don't even care about their customers.
Love my pixel 7 pro .. Apart from a few first world problems, its been just perfect... Perfect for me... Camera is my no.1 priority... Rest can be taken care of...
It has aged well in these last 6 months for sure! Can't wait for the Pixel 8 Pro, not going to lie might upgrade my Pixel 7 for it towards the end of the year.
I pray to God I get it or the samsung S23 Ultra. In Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen.
I just got a 7 and I'm going to hold out until the 9 or maybe even 10. I think my plan is going to be 7>9>11. I heard even numbers are unlucky for Google 😉
@@derricknyakundi1985 amen 😊
It is the worst piece of shit I have ever owned, if you like a phone that weighs more than 🐽Amy Shmuer 🐷and still manages to not even get 1h 45m SOT and won't even get you through 1/3 of a day even if you never take it out of your pocket( in fact the only way to make it last 1/3 of day is by not using the actual screen more than ten minutes all day), a phone that is 100% gauranteed to be dead when you wake up , a phone that overheats doing nothing at all and nearly goes supernova when updating apps then by all means buy this out of control trash fire of a device.
I love your channel !!!!
I appreciate that, I am an avid LG user, I currently have the LG Velvet, which I love! I have had too many friends with so many issues with Samsung so I wouldn't ever choose one for myself. And now that LG no longer makes phones, I was worried about my next step. Now I am feeling better that the Google Pixel Pro will be the next phone for me.
Thank you! :)
Same here
great educational review thanks
I genuinely love my 7 Pro but i wish the battery is better because right now at least in my experience my 7 pro battery sucks it doesn't last me a full day if you care about battery then by all means go for S23 ultra or iphone don't get me wrong its a great phone best phone i have ever held in my hand i specifically love pixel phones for its call features like call screen and hold for me and noise reduction i will continue use the 7 pro until the 8 pro comes out with hopefully even greater battery
Thank you for your input. I'm sending my 7 pro back. Will wait and see what Google Pixel 8 pro will bring to the table.
I would say about 5 hours is about to normal screen on time for my pixel 7 pro. It's not horrible but for a phone this big and that's not so great either
@@pathfinder5651 another trash fire no doubt, another crap tensro with garbage TDP that will not get you 1.5 hours SOT like every other phone they ever made
@@jejunamja LOL you must be dreaming, you must mean from 100% charge and no standby time at all and at 1% brightness with all radios turned off and just staring at the home screen with no non system apps open at all and plugged in to a 20,000mAh power bank.
not even then would this dumpster fire achieve 5 hours SOT LOL
@@andreamitchell4758 I think it could make at least 5 hours I'm not saying you're going to have anything left on the battery but pretty much 5 hours would be the most and yeah I agree with you the battery life on a phone this size should be much better but you know I'm just giving what I got.
Just picked up the Pixel 7 pro for around $500 after my One Plus 6T died on me. I am amazed at how much of a difference the Pixel's haptics makes. And for even cheaper than what I got the One Plus 6T at I am very pleased.
As a new Pixel 7 Pro owner definitely a needed upgrade from my 11 pro max, I love how simple but complex this phone is and it's super user friendly.
I hope you enjoy your pixel 7 pro I liked mine at first and now I absolutely hate this phone I still currently have the pixel 7 pro and will be going back to Apple I literally just ordered a new iPhone to replace this phone It has way too many issues I personally like the Google exclusive that we get because its made by Google but I hate a lot of the other things on the android side. Not to mention I literally just bought this phone less than 5 months ago and the trade in value of this phone is literally nothing I get that a new model is out the 8 and the pro 8 but right after this model is the 7pro and I was literally offered 200 and one place offered me 22 dollars. How do you go from buying a 1100 dollar phone 5 months ago to it only being worth 200 or less. Also make sure you have a good case on your phone the first month I had mine I dropped mine and busted the screen from the inside and yes I had a screen protector and a phone case on it. This phone also turns off by itself in certain situations you can literally look up why does my Google Pixel 7 pro keep turning off and it's locked by Google and has no response and 400 plus people have the same question
@@user-qf7qy8ch2d I got my 7 Pro for 700
I bought the Pixel 7 Pro in December 2022 from Amazon. Over time I learned it has noise at the receivers end of a phone call always and all video recordings have a disturbing noise too. The bad thing is that Amazon does not take responsibility and getting warranty from Google is a running around in circles on its website.
A disturbing noise? What do you mean?
@@letusdebatenow As I say, there always is a noise in the audio of phone calls and video recordings. I suspect a rotten microphone.
Hi can we connect google pixel 7 pro with Huawei smart watches? Is it possible to connect them via blutooth or do we need to have pixel watch only?
would you recommend pixel 7 pro over iphone 13 pro max?
Will a external screen like my Huion Kanvas 22 Plus work with this one? My old trust Huawei P10P are dying and I need an replacement .. this one seems to tick all my other reqirements but my google fu seems to be broken regarding the compability between these 2 devices :)
I am really interested in the pixel series but the 7 pro has grab my interest but the only thing that is really committing me to not get one I hear they will stop doing updates that they only have 3 years of updates and that google will stop at year 2025 for the phone should I still get it. I love what I am seeing about the phone so far. I have extra mobile batteries pack cause I hear it’s battery is terrible. Also is this phone good for gaming and watching videos? For people who had it for more than 6 months will this phone be a great investment?
Need a video on your everyday carry & your main devices
Great video! Which screen protector do you use? Or which one can you recommend me? Thanks!
I don’t use one personally, but tech armor (if they make one for the 7 Pro) is the brand I usually go for. The curved screen makes it kinda difficult. I’ve heard good things about the white stone dome for this phone specifically - Josh

Thanks!
I have the obsidian, it's amazing. Got it during a huge sale black Friday and got it pretty cheap, great phone
This video feels like an AD. I subscribed to 6 Months Later to get an indepth about a product. Here you describe how android works and how great the cameras and screen are - all this we know day 1 from reviews.
Good point . Unsubscribing 👍🏻 It is time to clear my video feed out of similar garbage .
The features never change, It is normal to be similar to Day One reviews. But the idea of this channel is to give a review from a long time user of the device. If you are someone who likes to wait to buy a device, this channel is perfect for that
@@NunoBroski And since these features never change - I do not want to hear about them on this channel. This channel is supposed to give you an insight you get after 6 Months of usage.
Bro even spoke about Smart Lock as though it's a new or recent pixel feature. It's been available on all Android devices for multiple years.
Not just that, he justified the Pixels bugs and flaws like they were features and you should just reboot the phone or wait for an update
I posted separately on his ridiculous comments. Very sad video...
Btw good point, this wasn't aggressively centered on his own channels name.
Hi, does it have a build in call recording feature?
I'd like to mention one observation I got from another reviewer and that's the disappointing thermal problems. It does impact on performance such as the screen refresh rate but you're only likely to see it, for example, during periods of extended wifi usage I am not sure anyone one else has noticed this?
How is the Sound Recording a Band Sir?
I come from one ui. One ui had some handy features that I miss on stock android. I hope it will come soon on stock.
I'm viewing this on my pixel 7 pro right now! My only issue is the pictures on the 7pro is, they seem a little darker then I'd like them by default
Just hit edit, then Dynamic. Brighter and the colors pop
So I've had the P7 for 8 months and I like a lot about it. The size is nice, the Tensor 2 SoC runs A13 fluidly and Google's implementation of Android IMO is the best there is. It's a lean smart Android OS and the added Pixel only features are nice. However, the onscreen Fingerprint Sensor and battery life are letdowns. I'm lucky if I get ~70% accuracy with the Fingerprint sensor and yeah there's a limited facial recognition but it's nothing compared to Apple's Face ID so I usually stick with the frustrating fingerprint sensor. Then there's the battery life. After 8 most this allegedly smart phone knows my usage patterns and I've tried all kinds of options to enhance battery life including turning off 90hz display. All Bupkis. I barely get 5 hrs SoT with this phone and it's left me hanging plenty of days. Google is new to SoC designing and it's painfully apparent they haven't mastered battery optimization for their Tensor 2 SoC like Apple has for their Bionic series of chips. Those two critical weaknesses keep me from loving this phone.
5hours LOL
If I strapped myself up like Billy hayes at the Istanbul airport with 20,000mAh power banks instead of hashish I could not acheive 5 hours SOT with this POS
how can a phohne that weighs more than 🐽Amy Shchumer🐷not even be able to achieve 2 hours SOT even at 20% brightness?, Google has done it again, when is the class action? I got $400 for my nexus 6p and I should receive $800 for this piece of trash, the TDP is beyoond garbage
Totally agree, terrible battery life, terrible charging speeds. I the phone dies, you'll need a 5m in charging before being able to power it on again. Really terrible, not to say outrageous, battery life. The charging issue can cost lives.
@@edoson01 I left my house with 100% today at 10 A.M. , I didn't even use my phone once and at 4 P.M. battery is at 45%
The 7 pro is a fucking piece of trash and I want my money back.
Does this phone run real warm or hot any one cause I had the 6 alot and that one got hot alot
Peope that have had the pixel ones are they any good? As I've only had Samsung phones but want a change.
I would recommend a Pixel as I've had The 6,6Pro & Pro& Now the 8th Generation. Amazing Software, Cameras AI. Battery Life Is Superb. Go for It
You’re talk about the photos, but what about the Videos and videos at night or in a club with people in movements ?
Is it worth buying to get pixel 7 pro or pixel 7 is good choice?
And what about pixel camera lens shattering issue and sudden heating issue? Is it still exists!!
7 has had a price drop, go for it
What is the battery life like please
Is the typing experience the same on the regular 7 , I mean the haptic feedback etc???
Yes, same sorta thing.
@@6MonthsLater so it's the best keyboard on android ?
i think some games can really mess up with Pixel 7 Pro's performance...such as The Spike which is a volleyball match game...at times when i exit the game...the icons and fonts on my Pixel would have their fonts reduced by half...other times the screen would just not respond while i could still receive updates in the background but i couldn't do anything at all...i couldn't turn off the screen or restart normally...force restarting it works though but im worried it would have affect the long term performance...i also sometimes get this white blinking streak when the screen is turned off...
Great review but I'm waiting for the Pixel 8 Pro as an upgrade of my Pixel 6 Pro
What about gaming on this device?
I want to buy this phone i currently have i14 max,as it's battery health is a issue
Roo much appreciated
My experience after 6 months. The Pixel 7 pro suffers from weird Bluetooth bugs. One of them being that it will not connect to previously connected headphones even after rebooting both phone and headphones. The second the sound quality sometimes just chages and is very bad for no reason. A reboot fixes this.
My pixel 7pro also suffers from poor performance like screen will not rotate back to portrait from landscape. Sometimes sound just keeps playing after closing TH-cam?? Or sometimes a webpage freezes and you cant do anything but hit the power button.
The " stereo sound" is louder from the spearkers at the bottom vs the earpiece speaker.
Picture quality also seems to be a little inconsistent. Sometimes pictures are just my boggling amazing and sometimes they are just embarrassingly bad.
Reception on the pixel 7 pro is another issue. Its just not good and for 2023 that should not be.
I don't mean to sound negative but I'm just keeping it real. I probably wouldn't recommend this phone. For a lower cost phone I would say One plus and for a flagship probably Samsung.
Update 07/02/23:
The Pixel 7 pro still suffers from Bluetooth connectivity and just any connectivity. It's really frustrating to even pretend that this is a good phone. Last update there's a new battery drain feature and no you can't turn it off. Honestly the only cool -ish feature is the cinematic wallpaper effect. Not sure how well it works and how the battery drain would be.
Your 6 months review was more helpful and honest imo. I'd rather sub to you
This video was a joke. Who wants to pay for a smartphone in 2022-2023 and deal with bugs and cases where you constantly have to reboot the phone?!
It's insane to think he justified some of those issues like it were options and features you should expect.
Google has constantly been known for buggy phones so has LG and look what happened to them.
I like the Pixel but no way I'm paying for any phone that tortured me daily with bugs. Which may fix itself years later when it should have been released 😂
It is rare, in Mexico and Latin America the Pixels are highly appreciated, they do not have the problems that all the comments say they have, there is a good signal reception, the Wi-Fi works excellent, they do not overheat, the sound in the Bluetooth headphones and the speakers don't sound bad.

Glad im not the only one with these issues especially the bluetooth, drives me insane.. I love the 7pro camera but all the other bugs Phwwa .. I am now thinking of buying Iphone 15 pro
Fingerprint unlock not mentioned here, does this mean that my 7 pro is the only phone that doesn't sometimes wanna let me in?
Whoops, that's a miss on my part, should have at least mentioned it. I use it so infrequently with Face Unlock now being a thing, I forgot to add it into the script. - Josh
Yes I'm unlocking well with that, it's the security apps, like banking and authenticators that don't want to see my pretty face 🥴 and refuse, after too many attempts to open up. So I have to find passwords which is a huge pain.
3:24 whoever installed that game is a legend.
What game is that? Looks cool!
Mentioning Pixels doing the most with calling. I swear Pixels are the only phones I've used where someones voice on the other end is extremely clear. On every other one, voices sound slighly muffed
Can it continuously record video for more than an hour? Considering this phone for concerts
Consider experiencing the event you paid for with your own eyes instead of creating a recording of it that also exists 100 times online. Makes you way happier.
Why is no one talking about the out of focus front camera shots!? It is a big problem with P7! The camera's minimum focus distance is set to infinity
I have not had this experience at all. minor annoyances turned into major ones as this phone became unable to manage a simple transition from WiFi to mobile data. it was replaced under warranty only to have the same problem. I have issues with Bluetooth audio, the phone ignores settings, and one time the camera app straight up stopped working entirely. Google support is dumb founded and have resorted to just ignoring me and insisting that engineering is "still working on it" which they periodically chime in to update me. I'm planning on suing them and probably leaving Google Fi entirely over this. I own the 512gb p7pro, I have pixel pass, and Fi unlimited plus. I can't possibly give them more money every month.
this phone is a disaster for me, I 100% regret buying it to replace the s21 ultra I had zero problems with.
I also had every other pixel XL before this.
...yet another honest opinion and review that was better than the actual video
It's sad that the comments were more helpful and informative then the video itself 😂

How about blue tooth compability,how about light notifications?
Guys I just purchased the 7 pro and have had it for less than a week and my battery is not performing. By 7pm it's virtually dead. I've tried reducing screen quality. I've turned off camera settings. Thai is ridiculous. Im a stay at home mum just browsing and using Instagram on occasion. Nothing to warrent this amount of battery drainage froma. New phone. Is anyone else having this issue or should I return it?
Great video personally I think the phone needs alot of work alot I can't do on this phone
Such as?
do this phone exist in Philippines? Coz this phone's camera shot looks like similar to iphone...
I had the pixel 6 pro and my screen cracked so I did the insurance claim on it and they sent me the 7 pro. I kinda like it over the 6 pro. It's basically the exact same but the couple new features and the improvements on the old ones make it a lot better in my opinion.
Just got my g pixel 7 pro after getting rid of my s21 that kept restarting on its own, I'm happy with my trade
I had a Galaxy s20+
Got the pixel 7 pro
Samsung no longer offered 12gb of ram anymore. I didn't want the ultra. I have had a few issues with Samsung.
I do miss the HTC phones.
I do use more RAM than most. I like having 3 apps loaded at the same time.
3d earth weather is always refreshes even when you go out and right back in.
i need that phone ❤
Thanks
On my 3rd 7 Pro since October. Same thing every time. Screen flashes then goes black and unresponsive. Otherwise it's a perfect phone😂
Thanks Josh ✨,

Pixel 7 Pro owner: If you need a phone without a flashlight this is the one for you! Was a great phone, one year in and flashlight stops working (says camera in use), common known issue (across various google phone gens) without any proper resolution. Apart from this, phone and battery life is holding well.
My biggest problem with this phone is the curved screen. Yes everything about this device is amazing (Still a bit butthurt about the glass build) the curved display makes it so difficult to find both a good case and screen protector.
I used to use cases from Poetic and Unicorn Beetle who make amazingly rugged and durable cases. However the screen's curve has forced them to work around that with lowered edges around the display that makes the exposure for drops much worse. Had the 6a for a bit and had both cases from each company and the level of durability between those the 7 Pro models is miles apart.
I'm really hoping that both the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro adopt a flat display this time around. I would have gone with a Pixel 7, but only the Pro model had a 512 GB model. (Which wouldn't be a problem if we had SD card slots Google)
However I am loving my 7 Pro despite feeling the weirdest sense to go elsewhere. (Mostly because of some weird midlife crisis I'm going through where I want to be as minimal as possible)
Get the IMBZBK screen protector the set up is a little complicated but once you get it on the finger print works great, it feels great, and it adds a bunch more protection to your screen.
Totally agree. My biggest gripe with the current pixel lineup is it's physical design choices. Curved screens feel outdated and the glass back makes this flagship phone look like cheap plastic. Also the camera bar. What is that. Hoping they can adopt a better sleeker design soon and it'll be the perfect phone imo. It already has all the specs. Good news though some leaks revealed the 8 pro will have a flat screen!
Just got this phone. Upgraded from iphone 12 pro and Oneplus 8T. So far this is a solid phone
What do you think now that you've had it for several days?
@@CesarCloudsthink he's made a mistake
@@youlittlerocket Lol
What's the name of the game 7:28
The camera would be good if it saved actual 50mp Images, there's literally no detail when zooming in hence not being able to crop anything. Also what's the point of having exposure settings only for the phone to then process the image different to what you selected. They are very over processed... I dislike my pro and looking to switch soon
I'm finally upgrading my galaxy s10 and was considering an s23 ultra but got an offer for the pixel 7 pro for $200.. Was an easy decision. Lol. I dont even care about phones anyway.. I just want a nice screen and fast internet. This seems about right.
Thats all I care about too. Did you get it and is it worth it? I usually only use my phone for texting and internet. Pictures once in a while but not many.
@@rm25088 Yeah I got it. Worth it to me. Only complaints are lack of 3.5mm headphone jack (I have fancy wired buds I enjoy) and some random screen dimming that appears to be software related. Otherwise, good phone with a surprisingly great camera.
My wife is very happy with Google pixel 7 pro 🎉
3:25 which game is that?
Carrier Landing!
Love the pixel
i hate the curve screen..it gave me less of cases and screen protectors to choose from..also not good for protection
I'm thinking about getting me a Google pixel.
I just get mine 2days old💪 10x Josh
Well josh what's the battery life like?
I have the Pixel 7 Pro since day one. One of the most disappointing phones I ever owned. Ton of small bugs and issues which were not addressed to this day! Many features are broken (how hard is it to make smart lock work?!). Will not buy any Pixel soon.
It is rare, in Mexico and Latin America the Pixels are highly appreciated, they do not have the problems that all the comments say they have, there is a good signal reception, the Wi-Fi works excellent, they do not overheat, the sound in the Bluetooth headphones and the speakers don't sound bad.
I have an iPhone 14 pro max and although I prefer this one I also use the pixel very frequently for my day to day life and have no complaints it's not a perfect phone although the battery life and charging sucks the heating in the cell It's normal, but man, I have the iPhone 14 pro max and it heats up just the same.
Regarding photographs, I much prefer the pixel, and in terms of shaped screens, the same as the pixel seems better to me, but Samsung is indeed superior in this section and also in sound.
I'm sorry if my English is lousy, I'm translating this through google.
Greetings
Love my 7 pro 0:38
Comparing s23 to this which one will it pick? I heard the tensor get hot very easily and in terms of the performance is really bad
go for the 23
The Pajeet 7 pro is my designated daily driver when I just need to get shit done
Now it seems even better $250 off at the Google store even with the pixel 8 coming out soon.
If you got this phone from Google, this review is no longer an unbiased review: it's an advertisement imho. Soo, I've stopped at 0:07. 👎
When you don't pay for your own phones, this is how you hold it 2:44 LOL
Please Compare Samsung Galaxy S8 plus vs. This Phone Sir. 😅
WHY ARE YOUR EYES SO BLUE AND PRETTY LOLLL
Still... no SD Card slot. After the S20 FE from Samsung, Sony seems to be the only manufacturer that does not want to fk customers over with phone memory.
Why do you need SD card when you have enough storage and cloud option on latest phone
@@danielyao5485 "Enough" is highly subjective, isn't it? And do notice that the standard 128gb has not changed for years while memory prices have gone down multifold. A memory upgrade costs multiple times over what and SD card of the size would cost.
It is also very easy to implement and SD card slot, they just decide not to do it.
@@danielyao5485 To quickly switch between, gopro, DJI dron and my xperia 1 IV to see pictures and videos.
I'm considering changing for pixel 7 pro but this is a one of bigger downsides
Iam 4 months in a iphone 13
Big mistake
I really miss my android phone and i think the pixel 7pro wil be the one to have i guess. Lets spend 800 again haha
Whats the plane game ? looks fun
Carrier landing: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.rortos.f18carrierlandingii&hl=en_US&gl=US - its one of my all-time fav phone apps - Josh
@@6MonthsLater Thanks , and for the review too, good job.
That is IF IT WORKS, great ad anyway
With all due respect Pixel 6 camera bump looks sooo much better
So far not impressed, coming from the 5A. This phone freezes and is more glitchy. Disappointment so far
I would google pixel camera is camera cortex good photo camera app
🕊
Lol i bought the phone but I couldn't care less about the camera. I just want the Clean android software 😅😂
Sadly im not impressed with this video. Trying to convince people that the pixels bugs and shortcomings are not bad but trying to justify it against the S23 (I'm not talking Ultra either) is ridiculous
I swear the reviewer kept trying to figure out ways to excuse Googles flaws as features. Like you should be fine later after an update or reset of your phone for a WiFi connection you paid for but aren't getting fully
I don't care how much you save, a smartphone should work flawless regardless of price point. Sure at $1000+ prices you better be spotless. But I guess at $400-500 less you should expect flaws and glitches constantly?!
You made excellent points for Google phone features and its influence on the camera and post picture editing support. I definitely don't think the Pixel is trash but you trying to convince anyone that the Pixel is way better than the Galaxy series is laughable imo
Look our two different views aside, i think this video was just a rant (just like mine here) and less about reality. I'm sure the sales numbers will definitely show whose considered better.
Mind you, better objectively because everyone has opinions about what features are critical on a phone or why.
Plus like for me, buggy phones is what Google is known for and has a history of it. Hence why I cannot see myself using it as my main driver
Most phones unless they are are 2 plus years old if you buy them under $600 the chip performance will be subpar compared to a $1000 plus phone.
@@Swagalious689 That is definitely depends on the model. The Nothing phone was pretty good considering. The next iteration of the Nothing phone looks good too. It's not using the most modern chip but usually the newest does not always make it better
I would definitely keep an eye on that company. I understand it's also trying to reach out to the US market. After selling almost 700m last year without the US money

Guys please don't get this phone I have charging issues,had to get my screen fixed 6 times!, this thing overheats so bad you can peel the screen off your phone with your fingernail it's horrible
Agreed. Both my phone and my wife's phones have screen blackout issues and flashing screen issues. It's a poor quality phone.
Pretty sure face unlock isn't new. Pixel 6 definitely had it
No it doesn't
Too much attention in this review to the camera , buy a mirrorless camera if its more important, just been honest!
Battery +-, design +-, performance ok, heats up, volume button fallen out, replacement device freezing up, sending it back and will get finished device and it won't be from Google. Perhaps after another couple generations will give another chance, but for now, better phones out there
returning my pixel 7 pro 😢

This guy used the same photo as the 7 fake
My own experience: NOT worthy due to screen failures, overheating and fragility.... Camera is great but its 3rd time having problems with black spot on screen ....crap!
My wife and I both got Pixel 7 Pros, and they are not good phones. The screens will black out or flash uncontrollably. If you can restart it, it might fix itself for a short time.
Definitely trash phones. Google and Verizon took advantage of us by selling us low quality phones.
Overnight standby is about 1% per hour, double what the S23U loses. That def needs resolving, though charging overnight will save that 7% loss.
Battery life has improved over the six months. I currently get 11 hours SOT using as a satnav; on launch, only 9 hours, so >20% improvement.
Using "low-power mode", I can get 10-11 hours SOT on wifi doing my typical workflow (do not game). So if you are expecting a busy day and have no access to a charger, stick it in low-power mode. An added benefit is that it stops the phone from warming up.
The camera is improved. I was disappointed new, but now it is much more consistent.
Mine has not had any QC issues, but my Pixel 6 Pro had dead pixels, and my nephew's Pixel 6 keeps crashing, and a reset has not cured it. I am hoping the 7 series are more reliable.
The USP of the P7P is its price.
I will never buy a curved screen phone again. It cannot take a normal screen protector, so any drops will just kill the phone.
Price is too much
as someone who owns a pixel 7 pro for 2 months now, I must say that your review on the cameras is lacking ... clarity and objectivity. The portrait mode on the pixel is totally rubbish (subject separation sucks, the software is doing a massive over sharpening ruining most photos, etc.), in RAW mode the pics are still compressed, photo unblur doesn't have a real impact on the blurred pics,
etc. etc. etc.
7 Pro Pros: Soft - google android have clean interface and many useful features. Goog main camera and google pictures app. Good warranty and update time , Ability to early update android. Cons: WEAK network connections ( mobile and wifi, internet and phone call are drops in good reception arias ) , Weak CPU, Heating problem, Weak battery, poor selfie camera, 3d screen, lack functionality compare to Samsung. This phone is not a flagman and should cost less 500$
1:54 - REALLY bad example from the Pixel 7 Pro. More detail, but look at the noise and artifacts in the top half. Yuck
Tempted dirt cheap to buy now.
Same here. Used to purchase contract phones all the time but just can't justify prices these days. Just out of contract this year and had a pixel 4a 5g. But now pay £12 non contract for everything I need so the pixel 7a is only £329 in UK so think I will buy it
