I just bought the Pixel 7 Pro yesterday and your video REALLY EDUCATED ME!!! I NOW know how to go back to the previous screen! You showed the many things, such as the Safety Emergency part, that I would have NOT known of! THANK YOU and please keep these great videos coming!!!
Aye I was on the pixel 2 xl as well. Such a good phone that served me well. Works fine even now. I couldn't justify buying any of the previous pixles. Thought it was best to just wait it out until there's so decent changes and upgrades. Why spend So much money on a phone only to toss it away and do it again a year or so later
@@spaghetti941 For me it was mostly because of battery. It would only last me about 3hours before dying even with 50% brightness on screen. That plus no more security updates. Decided to upgrade mainly because of those reasons.
I upgraded from the Pixel 6 Pro to the Pixel 7 Pro. The phones smaller curved edges and extra screen width make the phone feel so much better in the hand. The speakers are better balanced this time around. Can't say much about battery life yet as I'm still tinkering with the phone. Feels the way the Pixel 6 Pro should have been from the start.
I've had the Nexus 1, 5, 6, Pixel 2xl, 4xl, 6 pro and now 7 pro with other iphones and galaxy phones up to the iphone 13 and s22 Ultra. Google has finally nailed it this year. Got the 7 pro, buds pro, and watch and I'm finally satisfied.
Waiting for mine to be delivered any minute. The pixel 6 pro was pretty great aside from random issues with data off wifi and sometimes unresponsiveness but I'm confident in the long game.
7 pro has been great. I had a data issue from time to time with the 6 and it would basically get stuck buffering videos. Got a white 7 pro with a clear case and it looks great too
Thanks! This video confirmed for that I'm most likely switching to a pixel from my iphone as soon as possible. It's gonna be a little while, but it's good to know these things ahead of time.
Tim Great Video most of the time you can check out the device if they have but you don’t get the experience with the Software.So Thanks so much for sharing Deb ✌️
I'm still rocking three button life, as a small phone single hand user gestures are aweful imo. Then again I've never spent more than 15 minutes getting use to them lol
Thanks for the video! Can you remove the date &/or move the Google search bar? I don't like it at the bottom and I want to use a widget for the date/time/weather. Also...my home row is all blue icons, so using themed icons just means they'll be all the same - just in another colour. Is there any other way to change them?
Fingerprint scanner is on point. Face unlock doesn't work in low light like it does on the 4xl. 4xl works in the dark with only a TV on but not the 7 pro. Which is fine because as you said the fp scanner is great.
I just got the 7 Pro this week and I am loving it. I had a Samsung phone before and a Samsung tablet. Is there any way to get your calls and texts on that tablet with the Pixel?
I think there's a bug ...if you use 3 button navigation you can't change the app grid. I had to change to gesture navigation to get the app grid option.
I have been using samsung so now in pro 7 where is that we download our pictures and songs like in samsung we could upload songs and videos in audio folder and photos in gallary directly
Thanks for the vid. Question about the punch hole. When watching videos, can you reduce video so it's black bars instead of a dead pixel hole in the video? I have old school phone right now. Seems everyone shows the videos expanded to the edge. No idea if squared corners are possible with black bars on either side. Thanks.
Depends on the video resolution. 1080p video like youtube will have black bars so the punch hole is in a black bar. I usually zoom the video to fit width of the phone, thus cutting a little off the top and bottom. Punch hole is visible in the video.
I saw some random guy's comment on Reddit. He said that it is better to register your fingerprint in a completely dark room (since the fingerprint sensor is optical). That way, your fingerprint sensor will fail less often. Can someone please confirm?
Upgraded to the Pixel Pro 7 from Note 10 plus. How do I watch videos in full screen mode? Most I can’t watch in full screen mode and this is bothering me. I can’t watch tv on TH-cam tv without big bezels showing and I can’t widen the screen. I can on regular TH-cam but not on my other video apps.
I am going bat shit crazy maybe u can help? I am trying to change notification sounds for my txt messages and emails. At the moment all my notifications sound the same! I could do it on my old Samsung so I'm sure the Pixel 7pro would have a way of changing each notification! PLEASE HELP!!!🤯
I on apple eco system and i been tell as many android use to switch to RCS becuse this Chrismas ask for money to buy me a samsung tablet S8+ get the item i want then when i switch my iphone 11 to android s22 plus or ultra or google pixel 7 and i found a like AirPods (soundpeat) i will still keep my macbook M1 most of the stuff that i use is google stuff to me safari is way to slow and i am look for gaming laptop(PC) but the one thing i don’t like about window is how slow they update vs MacBook pro M1 i do dell laptop and take like a whole day to update or hour just to turn it on.
A comment I read above said if the 3- button navigation is selected you can’t change the app grid, if you indeed have it selected. You have to deselect it first then change the grid.
DON'T BUY this phone if you like colors. Pixel 7 pro has dull washed out colors with no optins to change that. Here: th-cam.com/video/96KfbdpWsM8/w-d-xo.html

I had to turn off amber alerts because with working at home and running to the gym, I practically spend no time on the road most days. Yet the amber alerts will go off for me on cars 15+ miles away often at inopportune times early in the morning or during a nap, call, while working on something with my hands, etc. If I could customize the range of it to be just a few miles, I'd keep it on.
@@darkeyezs I live in Atlanta. I think it being a city alone makes these much more prevalent just because there's more people within the alerting area of any given amber alert.
@@harshil102 Hmm. I live outside Chicago and rarely get them. And Chicago is a lot bigger than Atlanta. I do on occasion get them so I know it I don't have it turned off. I'll be sure to keep my kids on an actual leash should we visit Atlanta. LoL
@@harshil102 Those alerts are intrusive. I was in Louisiana a couple years ago during a hurricane and it startled the shit out of me every time one went off. Stay safe Atlanta!
watching from my Pixel 7 Pro! Loving this phone 🥰

Nexus 6, 6p, 2xl, 4, 6pro and 7 pro with some one plus and Samsung in between as well. Hello brother
Just switched from an iphone 12 to a Pixel 7 Pro. Absolutely love it!
Pixel 7 Pro is my VERY FIRST smartphone EVER and this video has helped me a lot... Thanks, Bro.
Last android I owned was a Pixel 3 and coming from iPhone this information was most useful. Thanks
Change the resolution to QuadHD+ since its default to FHD+ I believe.
Correct. It comes with the resolution set to 1080 by default. Didn't even realize it until I noticed it in the settings.
Yeah so true was gonna say this! Click FULL 1440 ON THE PRO 👍🙂

This is a GREAT video! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for all this information
Great Great video Thanks very informative and helped set up pixel
I like the pixel 7 pro so far. Other than the terrible speakers, the phone is solid.
That's every pixel lol
Pixel 2 had pretty good speaker!., Why I stayed on so long...
Blackberry Passport has much better speakers
The speakers are definitely tinny and shit lol. Very loud though
Thanks a lot. Really helpful
Love these videos from Droid Life. 👍
3 button navigation is so flip phone😆
My mom and uncle never like to use gestures,they always want me to change it back whenever i try to teach them lol.
@@craz7644 oh man, I forgot that I set my mom's 3a last year and put the navigation on for her... All good😂

The fingerprint scanner is 100% accurate when compared to pixel 6pro,just works. The screen seems brighter too.

@@darkeyezs 4xl has had an infrared sensor if 8m not mistaken
@@darkeyezs one thing annoyed me is that the scrolling isn't fast, it is smooth ,but not fast
@@CG-ql5rr 4xl has Soli Radar. Serves for motion gestures and for face unlock. I haven't noticed any scrolling issues. But I'll keep an eye out.
@@darkeyezs no issues with scrolling,but for example if you want to scroll a webpage fast ,it won't scroll that fast to reach the bottom

Very helpful thanks, Is there a way where I can change my google news feed screen to a different widget?
First thing I did was to get rid of that double line time then call Google support as to why there is no am/pm.
How did your get your theme AMOLED black?
Does anyone know how to change the date format on the home screen? Thu, Oct13 is so annoying I would like to see Thursday, October 13 displayed.
HOW IS THE BATTERY LIFE? HOW MUCH SOT ARE YOU GETTING?
Day 1 not so great 😅 about 4 hours SOT but battery has to adapt over time

Bought it and returned it....overhyped phone.. went back to my s21 ultra😒
I got the phone haha I love it BUT I CANT DOWNLOAD MODS ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE 32BIT REMOVAL could you maybe help?
"lets go ahead"
YOU CANT CHANGE ICON SHAPES ANYMORE????!
Just finished setting up my wife's 7pro but for some reason it doesn't have that option to change the app grid. Any suggestions 🤔
