EDIT: Thanks to all who've pointed out that Samsung also offers a version of Magic Eraser. I missed it because I use Google Photos on my Flip and Fold, instead of the Samsung Gallery app where the feature apparently resides. MrMobile regrets the error.
The tumbnails have consistently been getting better and better each time, while retaining that mrmobile thumbnail style. Big thumbs up to the designer of those thumbnails.
I've had a pixel 4a 5g for a year and a half now, the Nokia 6.1 before that. It's been absolutely great, the camera is awesome, and it's dependable. And I don't get spam calls. When this phone dies, I will likely get pixel again. But with the zoom camera. I've found that the ultra-wide angle is handy only sometimes for me, but I've found myself wishing for a good zoom lens more often. My dream would be a slightly smaller screen, about 5.5-5.8", but I know that won't happen
Here in India Google has production issues..they have been sold out for 10 days. So my guess is whatever potential customers they could have converted, now are going to reconsider this phone.
I stuck with an iPhone over the past few years since leaving the Galaxy Note 8. I've been interested in the Pixel since it's intro but I always believed it's best to wait 2-3 iterations for a company to hash out any major bugs/issues with a brand new format/style/design/internals. I hope the Pixel 8 improves the video camera capabilities and smoothness such as the transition between lenses, and also optimizes the OS to run even smoother than what I've seen so far (which looks decent at the moment).
I didn't enjoy your review that much. I don't know that presentation that parts from the event confused me but the best part I can say is oh my god someone mentioned all the problems this phone has specially with the camera. Really good job and thanks for sharing this fabulous memories from Iceland! And I do understand the time it took for this video to write down everything
Much appreciated Micheal, I should of waited a little longer in my very recent upgrade / purchase from an s10e to s22. Oh well there will always be a Pixel 7a or 8 on the horizon.
In all honesty Pixel phones just make your life easier in a day to day real life scenarios. The software wizardry that it has is just to addictive to use and you'll feel EVERY other phone is just dumb and useless, specially iPhones 🤷🏻♂️
"The stills are great! The video is garbage!" Why can't we just have it all? I've been looking to replace my old phone for a few years and have yet to find a phone that doesn't have some major compromise somewhere. I do wonder however, one thing that has kept me away from the Pixel is the lack of manual control for stills and video. Really, with that, I could fix most of the issues with stills and video.
I hope you realize the amount of time you put into delivering a quality script does not go unnoticed; hands down the best writer out of any tech TH-camr!
I saw MKBHD’s review and the selfie cam seemed to really oversharpen there. It added textures that do not exist in the subject. I hope it’s just TH-cam compression that made it seem that way.
@@d3vastat0r89 Gerald undone did a better comparison of the camera with the iPhone and a new Sony point-and-shoot camera. The pixel was good in some limited lighting conditions but overall it was very patchy... Hopefully they can update the software to make it better.
Yeah,i was surprised to see that footage that too from front camera. I still don't like the jittery movements happens on almost all Android phones while walking or running and in the favour of more brighter video they are sacrificing the quality and making the video noisy. Hope they give more competition to apple in video department too.
"I used to have to concoct quite a cocktail of qualifications when describing why past versions of the pixel appealed to me" was a hell of a theatrical line; surprised you didn't do a little pirouette after delivering that flawlessly. I'm a longtime fan; these are some of the best written and delivered reviews on the internet.
Absolutely Shakespearan reviews by the man. Well he's a complete package. Brilliant visuals and production value, best written lines that baritone and yes impeccable hair style. Whatta review.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your personal trip to Iceland as a part of the review here Michael! I have enjoyed my brief time with the new Pixel 7, and I don't miss the tele for my use case. But the P7 has me as happy as the Pixel 5 did and I loved that little phone.
After having an S22 ultra with the 10x Zoom lens idk I able to a phone without it I take so many pictures of my son playing or of animals that be impossible without it
Great video as always. I personally went from a OnePlus 8 pro to the Pixel 7 Pro because OnePlus' software has been going downhill a lot. I am really impressed by the Pixel 7 (pro) because it has so many nice small UI tweaks and attention to detail next to the absolutely solid performance and camera quality. Looking at the Pixel Stand now because of the exclusive features. Really happy with the phone so far.
I'm also with a OnePlus 8 Pro right now. What do you think of it in comparison with the Pixel 7? Is the fingerprint reader worse? How do the camera and screen compare?
I bought a P6 Pro and the call screening comes in handy. One thing I wish it had was call blocking by country and area code or partial numbers - which was on the LG G7
The review I was waiting for is finally here :D Thank you sir. I personally would even love a few month follow up if you end up carrying this for a while.
The scripts you write for these videos and the way everything flows along so well and makes for such a coherent and pleasing experience makes is my favorite part of this channel. Awesome as always, MrMobile :)
I started following your personal TH-cam channel immediately after you left Pocketnow and I'm so happy to see how far you've come. I played this review on my newly purchased TV and it felt like I was watching a documentary. Iceland seemed like a great time and thanks for bringing us along for another fantastic review.
This was such a good review. I've joined the pixel line with the 6 Pro last year after always owning a Sony - starting with the Z into the smartphone space, then the Z3, XZ Premium and finally 1... But prices got too high for the software support they offer, so went with Pixel instead. Now, one year later, I've grabbed the pre order offer and got me 7 Pro with the Pixel Watch, traded in my 6 Pro so the price was just too damn hot. Owning the phone for three days now with the watch, which is my first ever btw, I can only completely agree with your words. Google offers such a unique and refined software experience with a rich set of features, just glad to be in now. Especially photography is just excellent, I've never shot this many pics before! EDIT: I've remembered sth that could have been mentioned - Google increased the support by one year with Android updates. Comes closer to Apple, which is great as software support has always been Apple's great strength.
@@furkanudmir550 I'm very pleased. So far, the phone just does everything a little bit better and more. Face Unlock is such a blessing e.g., furthermore the new camera system is fun and I like the improvements in design and haptics. All that and a Pixel Watch for free... Yeah, it was definitely worth it!
I have been on a trip to Iceland last summer (2021) and I can't tell you how happy I am to see that you've been there too. Iceland is a place out of this world. From black beaches to huge blocks of ice on it. Rock formations that are inexplicably gorgeous. I hope you had the same experience I had when you visited it. I went with a friend of mine, who brought at the time top of the line GoPro Hero 10 and the footages were amazing. I wished I had a drone, but I got there with a OnePlus 7T Pro and a Panasonic Lumix G85. Photos and videos were good, but I have a huge pile of them that I still have to edit via professional software like Capture One or DaVinci. I wish I had a phone like the Pixel 7 Pro at the time. Everything would've been more immediate. Kudos to you for the review and your trip to Iceland!
I love it when reviwers can have a story behind a review. Most just use it for a few weeks and talk about it. Other times, they can go on a vacation/trip and actually talk about the features they used. It's assuring to know that in the real world, it's a good/bad product and you can't always get that answer by using it at home. I always wait for the MrMobile review for anything before buying (along with watching others) and this might be enough to make me trade in my Pixel 5.
Still hestitant after the Pixel 6 Pro (mine was frought with issues), but might get the next generation whenever my S22 Ultra is ready for retirement. Glad to see Google might have learned their lesson this time around.
watching on my pixel 7 pro. so happy i waited for the 7 instead of getting the 6 last year. learning the lessons that 1st generation of models like the 6 has problems that can be fixed on the 2nd gen (pixel 7). now i wait for the 2nd gen pixel watch xD
Seeing reviews like these while waiting until the 2nd for my 7 Pro make me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. (Best Buy is royally backed up with pre-orders for the 512 GB models) I'm glad to see both performance and the cameras have improved as well as the battery life.
@@ammarharith5512 dramatic enough that you can't use tempered glass screen protectors (except for the messy and overpriced whitestone dome and it's clones)
Got the Pixel 7 and I'm very satistified so far (switched from a S20 FE), my only disapointement is the lack of the 5x telephoto, but in Canada the upgrade wasnt worth it price wise. The 2x binning of the 50MP is fine, but does not match the telephoto 3x I had on the Samsung. So glad i'm back in the Google Pixel universe thought, I missed it so much. (past phones : Nexus 5, 5X and Pixel 1) And as always sublime production quality and review Michael!
Glad you're happy with the Pixel 7. I currently own the S20 FE 5G (still love it) but its 3x telephoto lens often disappoints me (the results look more as if those photos were shot through a digital zoom, especially in low light conditions).
@@ou1814 I locked the phone to 90hz in the devloper settings, and used it hard today, im at 29% now after 14hrs. Im satisfied by that performance. I guess if you dial it back to auto Refresh rate, you can eek out 20-24hrs. But 1.5 day? not with my usage.
I was eagerly waiting for your review. Fun fact, I always wait to watch your take on new products, it always feels like no other review is enough to give me a good grasp on them! Thanks and keep up the awesome and unique work!
Thanks for pointing out little stuff like the music squiggle and the video resolution indicator. So far, this is the best review I watched on the camera of this phone too. The highs and lows of it are clear, and I have felt like people are softer on the video this year, but it seems clear here that the choppiness, the focusing, and issues with zoom and camera switching hold this one back. Still a very strong contender and I'm glad it's better refined, I am considering this or one of the S23s for my next phone. I know I'd miss a lot of Samsung features, and I am not sure which would be better for battery and gaming (Pokemon GO, specifically), but there does seem to be a lot to like about the Pixel experience as well. Cheers. P.S. I really like the idea of referring to the non-pro version as the "amateur"
I was waiting for your review, they never disappoint. You don't worry about petty details and stay focused on the performance. Upgrading from Pixel 5 to the 7, the Pro was too big for my hands. My husband just ordered ours last night and we are excited. My husband is coming from Iphone 10. He has admired my Pixel for awhile and he is ready to switch. I can't wait to set his phone up.
Don't think that'll be a worthy upgrade, tensor g2 isn't that much of a difference over tensor one. Use your 6a till the 8 comes that'll be a real upgrade.
I want that call screening feature on my iPhone so bad! Been getting so many spam calls recently 🙁 Also, really feeling Google's Pixel series is becoming the new OnePlus. No complaints!
You can call screen on the iPhone (under settings/phone). But the approach Ioke is to have a different ring tone for anyone who's on my contact list (and a faster one for people designated as VIPs, and only those go to my watch). Means I don't even need to look at my phone to decide whether to take it or not.
It's unfortunate Google took this long, I was a LONG holdout, actually liked the Nexus series alot, but the cameras were ALWAYS underwhelming. Kept waiting, and the pixel series just never was a viable option, so I switched to iOS a year ago. I have no regrets, but it's good that Google is FINALLY producing something decent on the photography side that doesn't force you to except a bunch of compromises elsewhere
Sorry I couldn’t wait for your review before ordering the amateur version of the phone. After watching your review I’m glad I ordered it early. Thanks for mentioning the Pixel exclusive features that so many other reviewers skip or just don’t know about. As always, great work, excellent quality and writing and just a fun channel to subscribe to.
As SONY cease to make their Xperia Pixel, Google cease to make their Pixel Xperia. Plus. Google Make Android Google Again, while SONY Make SONY Believe Again.
I really wanted this phone but I just can’t! As an OTR driver I must have a very large amount of local storage ON MY PHONE! Many of the areas where I must park for up to 34 hours have absolutely no signal and as a result I keep movies, music and photos on my phone’s storage. I am one of over 3 million truck drivers in America so I’m not alone in this. Smart phone manufacturers have been including smaller storage and have removed the micro sd slots to try to force people to subscribe to cloud storage. This is absolutely unworkable for truck drivers who also mostly have unlimited data accounts. To forget 3 million drivers is only a small fraction of smartphone users but it is still 3 million. It’s a shame really because it has forced me to buy an iPhone which I don’t like, simply because they offer one terabyte of storage. 😐
Got myself a regular 7 for shits and gigs, I have an s22 ultra for my main but I had an iPhone 12 mini laying around and Google's $500 offer for it was the best I was going to see without a carrier deal. I like it, it's a neat little phone, and while the s22 ultras screen is nicer and the camera is better for zoom, the regular pixel still makes amazing photos and has some neat features
Great video Michael. Pixel just becomes more and more appealing. This is such a brilliant alternative to an iPhone or Samsung phone. It's never been more compelling.
The moment he said the Google phone has arrived, that was so satisfying that someone is addressing the Pixel in the house of Android. The pixels had been plagued by n number of bugs but the camera, that's where they get the ball in their court.
Heeey MrMobile... so, are you planning to review the Pixel 7? 'Cause we would appreciate your thoughts on the smaller one, just like last year when you reviewed both Pixel devices.
How are you doing buddy? You seem exasperated, or like you're hinting at a big move / change coming up. Seems like you might have a lady friend? I hope everything is well.
I've already ordered this phone (not yet delivered here in The Netherlands, Google's website claims between 24 and 28 oct) so I had already made up my mind to buy one. But man have I been waiting for your review, sure there's other reviewers who got there first, but yours is the only one that really matters to me. Going to watch it now, thanks again!
So it took 7 iterations of Google Pixel (photography) camera to overtake the 14 iterations of the iPhone (photography) camera? Some might say it happened a few years ago. Just saying..
I really liked the old nexus phones google use to do... The pixels seem to be to buggy for me to spend that money..... I don't know maybe im just bored with Samsung and really miss my old Lumia phone.. Who knows.
MrMobile doesn’t just do a review. He actually produces a full professional documentary each and every time without fail. Never disappoints either. Thanks Michael, you’re definitely the Boss. ❤
I think the new design is actually quite nice. The eco system is no where near apple. But as a phone it is really great, unless Google mess up the updates for the pixel line
I think once you factor in the additional cash incentives such as $200 direct from Google and Best Buy gift cards not to mention trade-in deals, the Pixel becomes a significant better value than the competition. In other countries I heard Google is tossing in Google's watch to further the deal.
About the extras: for example in my country (Germany ) you can get the Google Pixel Watch ( WiFi or LTE version) or the Google Pixel Buds Pro for free with the P7 Pro
Been a Google Phone guy since the Galaxy Nexus first came out, only had the Nexus 6 and the Pixel 3XL for the last 12 years. I'm making the jump to the 7 Pro and could not be more excited! The Google Store in Germany even bundled it with the Pixel Watch for free! So at least I'll see how things run (had to get the buds as well for the ecosystem experience). Always look to your reviews for actual daily driver experience beyond the printed tech specs. And this review has assuaged any concerns I may have had! Hope you get to review the Pixel Watch!
Man, I love your reviews! Your reviews just like the production values of your videos is meticulous and immaculate. The footage quality is so painstakingly compiled and edited. I hope you keep putting out videos like this for years to come.
I know I'm from the old youtube generation when I think wtf are you talking about, 1.2m is an insane number but youtube has become so big. Ten years ago 10k subscribers was a lot lol
Having had the phone since launch day, I must say it looks like Google crippled the camera. Whilst colour, speed and contrast all look great, the detail is far worse and more unnatural looking compared to my custom OnePlus 7 Pro camera, Its really quite a big difference that needs fixing. Other than that lovely device
@@SibTiger33 yeah and I know from my experience with creating configs for modded gcams for the OnePlus 7 series that the software can do better. It's a deliberate choice from Google to cripple it. The raw's proof the info is there, and if even an old(ish) phone with an imx586 can do better its really a pity
I wish Speakly did more with the languages I want to learn.. but.. I think I will go for the pixel 7 pro or the pixel fold.. I'm so curious about that one..
i'll never forgive google for the pixel 4XL. i've had all the nexus/pixel phones up to the 4XL which i thought would be revolutionary with the face unlock and the hand motion controls but it was a genuine flop with terrible battery life and an unforgivable forehead bezel....
I never seen anyone use Pixels before until the Pixel 6. Even for me, the Pixel 6 was the first Pixel I would consider buying. I held out and bought the Pixel 7.

Picked up a pixel 7 pro, loving it so far... I'm a big fan of the face unlock, even if you can only use it to unlock the phone.
Honestly such a great video. The pixel 7 and 7 pro are the pixels everyone wanted.
Except for the curved screen on the 7 pro 😭
@@AniviaS It's not that dramatic of a curve, mind you.
@@ammarharith5512 Yep, in fact the curve was made much less pronounced when compared to the 6 Pro.
@@ammarharith5512 dramatic enough that you can't use tempered glass screen protectors
(except for the messy and overpriced whitestone dome and it's clones)
Mr.Foldable😄
Got the Pixel 7 and I'm very satistified so far (switched from a S20 FE), my only disapointement is the lack of the 5x telephoto, but in Canada the upgrade wasnt worth it price wise. The 2x binning of the 50MP is fine, but does not match the telephoto 3x I had on the Samsung.
So glad i'm back in the Google Pixel universe thought, I missed it so much. (past phones : Nexus 5, 5X and Pixel 1)
And as always sublime production quality and review Michael!
How does the battery life feel like? Do you think it can go for 1.5 days with average usage?
Glad you're happy with the Pixel 7. I currently own the S20 FE 5G (still love it) but its 3x telephoto lens often disappoints me (the results look more as if those photos were shot through a digital zoom, especially in low light conditions).
@@ou1814 I locked the phone to 90hz in the devloper settings, and used it hard today, im at 29% now after 14hrs. Im satisfied by that performance. I guess if you dial it back to auto Refresh rate, you can eek out 20-24hrs. But 1.5 day? not with my usage.
I was eagerly waiting for your review. Fun fact, I always wait to watch your take on new products, it always feels like no other review is enough to give me a good grasp on them! Thanks and keep up the awesome and unique work!
Thanks for pointing out little stuff like the music squiggle and the video resolution indicator. So far, this is the best review I watched on the camera of this phone too. The highs and lows of it are clear, and I have felt like people are softer on the video this year, but it seems clear here that the choppiness, the focusing, and issues with zoom and camera switching hold this one back. Still a very strong contender and I'm glad it's better refined, I am considering this or one of the S23s for my next phone. I know I'd miss a lot of Samsung features, and I am not sure which would be better for battery and gaming (Pokemon GO, specifically), but there does seem to be a lot to like about the Pixel experience as well. Cheers.
P.S. I really like the idea of referring to the non-pro version as the "amateur"
Honest to God best Pixel 7 review I've seen yet. You're so good at this man.
"The Google phone has finally arrived" is the best praise can be given to the Pixel 7 series 👍🏾
I was waiting for your review, they never disappoint. You don't worry about petty details and stay focused on the performance. Upgrading from Pixel 5 to the 7, the Pro was too big for my hands. My husband just ordered ours last night and we are excited. My husband is coming from Iphone 10. He has admired my Pixel for awhile and he is ready to switch. I can't wait to set his phone up.
Oh wow, amazing

Awesome review. I have a 6a and I'm thinking of getting the regular pixel 7
Don't think that'll be a worthy upgrade, tensor g2 isn't that much of a difference over tensor one. Use your 6a till the 8 comes that'll be a real upgrade.
Yeah basically buying the same phone twice
Ever since Pixel 7 & 7 pro launched I was just only waiting for your video & yes it was all worth it.
I want that call screening feature on my iPhone so bad! Been getting so many spam calls recently 🙁
Also, really feeling Google's Pixel series is becoming the new OnePlus. No complaints!
my wife changed from iPhone to Pixel and has no regrets, loves her Pixel
@@MinnesotaMathew That’s awesome! Which Pixel does she have?
Don't you have truecaller? Or it doesn't work on iphones
@@oldbot64 Don’t have that, I’ll have to look in to it!
You can call screen on the iPhone (under settings/phone). But the approach Ioke is to have a different ring tone for anyone who's on my contact list (and a faster one for people designated as VIPs, and only those go to my watch). Means I don't even need to look at my phone to decide whether to take it or not.
It's unfortunate Google took this long, I was a LONG holdout, actually liked the Nexus series alot, but the cameras were ALWAYS underwhelming. Kept waiting, and the pixel series just never was a viable option, so I switched to iOS a year ago. I have no regrets, but it's good that Google is FINALLY producing something decent on the photography side that doesn't force you to except a bunch of compromises elsewhere
Sorry I couldn’t wait for your review before ordering the amateur version of the phone. After watching your review I’m glad I ordered it early. Thanks for mentioning the Pixel exclusive features that so many other reviewers skip or just don’t know about. As always, great work, excellent quality and writing and just a fun channel to subscribe to.
As SONY cease to make their Xperia Pixel, Google cease to make their Pixel Xperia.
Plus.
Google Make Android Google Again, while SONY Make SONY Believe Again.
Another excellent video - Thank you. I'm going to stick with my 6 Pro - I just can't see any benefit in trading up.
I really wanted this phone but I just can’t!
As an OTR driver I must have a very large amount of local storage ON MY PHONE!
Many of the areas where I must park for up to 34 hours have absolutely no signal and as a result I keep movies, music and photos on my phone’s storage.
I am one of over 3 million truck drivers in America so I’m not alone in this.
Smart phone manufacturers have been including smaller storage and have removed the micro sd slots to try to force people to subscribe to cloud storage.
This is absolutely unworkable for truck drivers who also mostly have unlimited data accounts.
To forget 3 million drivers is only a small fraction of smartphone users but it is still 3 million.
It’s a shame really because it has forced me to buy an iPhone which I don’t like, simply because they offer one terabyte of storage. 😐
Top review as always Mr Fisher. Thank you.
Got myself a regular 7 for shits and gigs, I have an s22 ultra for my main but I had an iPhone 12 mini laying around and Google's $500 offer for it was the best I was going to see without a carrier deal. I like it, it's a neat little phone, and while the s22 ultras screen is nicer and the camera is better for zoom, the regular pixel still makes amazing photos and has some neat features
Great video Michael. Pixel just becomes more and more appealing. This is such a brilliant alternative to an iPhone or Samsung phone. It's never been more compelling.
The moment he said the Google phone has arrived, that was so satisfying that someone is addressing the Pixel in the house of Android. The pixels had been plagued by n number of bugs but the camera, that's where they get the ball in their court.
I love the Pixel infrastructure but I won't buy a new one until they release something the size of the 4a again (or like the iPhone Mini ideally).
What phone are you using?
@@katinasoutherland7693 pixel 4a. I absolutely love it and won't go back to a phone any larger. I really want an iPhone Mini but refuse to switch OS.
Heeey MrMobile... so, are you planning to review the Pixel 7? 'Cause we would appreciate your thoughts on the smaller one, just like last year when you reviewed both Pixel devices.
Michael's videos are always worth waiting for, and this one's no exception :)
How are you doing buddy? You seem exasperated, or like you're hinting at a big move / change coming up. Seems like you might have a lady friend? I hope everything is well.
I've already ordered this phone (not yet delivered here in The Netherlands, Google's website claims between 24 and 28 oct) so I had already made up my mind to buy one.
But man have I been waiting for your review, sure there's other reviewers who got there first, but yours is the only one that really matters to me.
Going to watch it now, thanks again!
You should do audiobooks - you have such a great voice for it
Since I literally just got a 6a I'm on that for the next couple years, but the black 7 pro is damn sexy!
Agreed.
So it took 7 iterations of Google Pixel (photography) camera to overtake the 14 iterations of the iPhone (photography) camera? Some might say it happened a few years ago. Just saying..
Wow the trip to Iceland was incredible! Thank you for sharing it!
Fellow mobile nudist?😂 The choice of words and the brilliant delivery of them makes your reviews unmatched. This is very entertaining, Thank you 😀👍
Reviewing the camera by showing off your trip to Iceland was brilliant. Awesome video, man.
I really liked the old nexus phones google use to do... The pixels seem to be to buggy for me to spend that money..... I don't know maybe im just bored with Samsung and really miss my old Lumia phone.. Who knows.
The experience I've had with the 7 Pro has been sublime. I don't think I can ever get away from the Pixel line
I'll also be in a very tough spot if the Pixel phone ends up in a plot at the Google Graveyard
Battery life is my biggest concern. It's far from my old P30 Pro
I am switching from iPhone 12 pro
@@TheDGeneration well it's gonna be updated for at least 5 years
@@HMB-rv8ez too bad
Finally an Android competitor worthy of leaving Samsung. I'm ready for a cohesive and clean software experience with some actually innovative cameras.
They aren't innovative cameras though and the battery life isn't good
MrMobile doesn’t just do a review. He actually produces a full professional documentary each and every time without fail. Never disappoints either. Thanks Michael, you’re definitely the Boss. ❤
I think the new design is actually quite nice. The eco system is no where near apple. But as a phone it is really great, unless Google mess up the updates for the pixel line
Bla bla. Pop up cam?? Stare at the hole, buddy
Can't wait too see what you will do for the pixel watch review
I keep selling my Pixels and buying Galaxies. Then I miss my Pixels so much I re- buy them. Gets expensive. I should learn.
I think once you factor in the additional cash incentives such as $200 direct from Google and Best Buy gift cards not to mention trade-in deals, the Pixel becomes a significant better value than the competition. In other countries I heard Google is tossing in Google's watch to further the deal.
About the extras: for example in my country (Germany ) you can get the Google Pixel Watch ( WiFi or LTE version) or the Google Pixel Buds Pro for free with the P7 Pro
After trading in my PIXEL 6 Pro and using the $200 gift card... I got both the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel Watch for $470 that's one helluva deal
Wirklich gutes Video! Wie immer, schon seit Pocket Now Zeiten 🙂Aber kann Sprachlich ( Speakly ) auch Japanisch?
Danke und Tschüss!
Been a Google Phone guy since the Galaxy Nexus first came out, only had the Nexus 6 and the Pixel 3XL for the last 12 years. I'm making the jump to the 7 Pro and could not be more excited! The Google Store in Germany even bundled it with the Pixel Watch for free! So at least I'll see how things run (had to get the buds as well for the ecosystem experience). Always look to your reviews for actual daily driver experience beyond the printed tech specs.
And this review has assuaged any concerns I may have had! Hope you get to review the Pixel Watch!
No mentioning how the new Pixels don't offer unlimited photo and video storage like the old ones? That is a HUGE disadvantage.
Man, I love your reviews! Your reviews just like the production values of your videos is meticulous and immaculate. The footage quality is so painstakingly compiled and edited. I hope you keep putting out videos like this for years to come.
They just gave me a $700 dollar trade in for one of these for my s9, at Verizon, it only cost me $200. What a great deal.
I'm just depressed at how underrated your channel is. The effort you put in every video, I'd give you 10M subscriber if I could.
Use your bollywood power 🤣🤣
I know I'm from the old youtube generation when I think wtf are you talking about, 1.2m is an insane number but youtube has become so big. Ten years ago 10k subscribers was a lot lol
03:11 Samsung has a magic eraser feature in the gallery editor app... at least in europe :)
Having had the phone since launch day, I must say it looks like Google crippled the camera. Whilst colour, speed and contrast all look great, the detail is far worse and more unnatural looking compared to my custom OnePlus 7 Pro camera, Its really quite a big difference that needs fixing.
Other than that lovely device
O my god thank you. Finally someone else who had the problems I had. Also the front camera is piss poor
@@SibTiger33 yeah and I know from my experience with creating configs for modded gcams for the OnePlus 7 series that the software can do better. It's a deliberate choice from Google to cripple it. The raw's proof the info is there, and if even an old(ish) phone with an imx586 can do better its really a pity
It needs a big update as there are many other camera issues, some mentioned in this video.
@@andyH_England Yeah video bitrate is weirdly low
When I went to Iceland, I wasn’t able to see northern lights. Very jealous of you, Michael! Great video as always
Galaxy has magic eraser it's called object eraser under Edith.
I wish Speakly did more with the languages I want to learn.. but.. I think I will go for the pixel 7 pro or the pixel fold.. I'm so curious about that one..
I don't think magic eraser is a pixel exclusive. I'm pretty sure I had that on my Galaxy S10
7:32 THIS!!!!!! Lens switching sucks, you cannot tap 2x or 5x or1x
i'll never forgive google for the pixel 4XL. i've had all the nexus/pixel phones up to the 4XL which i thought would be revolutionary with the face unlock and the hand motion controls but it was a genuine flop with terrible battery life and an unforgivable forehead bezel....
I never seen anyone use Pixels before until the Pixel 6. Even for me, the Pixel 6 was the first Pixel I would consider buying. I held out and bought the Pixel 7.
Are the overheating problems fixed? That's what helped me back with last year's phone. If those are fixed, I'm going to buy it right now
Wait, I actually have something like magic eraser on my Galaxy tho, on the photo editor on the default gallery
Battery drain while idled is still a problem on the Pixel 7pro. 12 to 20% overnight.
Watching this on my Pixel 8 Ultra
