All these damn bot retarrds on here. They make it seem like the phone is the worst phone in existence!!!! As of 3/27/2024 I get 9-11 hours SOC time with my pixel 7.

I bought Pixel 7 one day ago and it's getting extremely hot even with minimal apps, no back cover case, and no camera usage. After 10 minutes of use, it gets really uncomfortable to hold it in hand. Very disappointed.

Just as a warning to new owners, get a screen protector immediately. The glass on the 7 is pretty hard to damage, but the slightest crack will cause the screen to go completely unresponsive.
Been looking at a new phone, something decent, I normally run around with the cheap disposable phones, my old job as a miner, there was a boat load of phone casualties. The Google Pixel is the phone that's been catching my eye. It's not overpriced like the new Galaxy or iPhone, it seems to have better features.
The deal breaker for me is the size. The phone is still too big. I have a Pixel 5, so going to the 7 is a no no. I hope the Pixel 8 is smaller like some rumours suggest
Went from a Samsung S8(2017) to a Pixel 5 (01/2022). My S8 was slow, unsupported, and buggy due the switchover from 3G to 5G service. Though the P5 was a better performer than my old S8, it was clear the P5 was beginning to have issues as well. Time to bite the bullet and choose a flagship/near flagship phone. I was about to buy a S23, when I took a peek at the Google Store for giggles and shit. The new purchase discounts were about the same(-$125/S23 vs -$150/P7), but the trade-values were crazy different. Samsung's for my old S8(yes, I still have it) was $108/working no cracks. Google's was $320 for my P5 working no cracks. I nearly committed to the S23 at $466 because of my then good experience with my old S8 BUT, that trade-in I got from Google making the P7 $174 was a crazy good deal, a near $300 difference. That said, the Pixel 7 has been a joy thus far, and no glitches. Fast, smooth, good battery life, and no wifi issues that I've heard from other P7 owners. And to think I was just curious, and looking for giggles and shit. Hopefully I won't regret the choice. I WAS gonna buy an S23.
Hey i still use a 4yr old samsung A70 and considering upgrade to either S24, pixel 8, iphone 15 pro or just get s23? Cus i heard many positive views abt s23. Which phone you recommend?
Hey, so I am also using Samsung Galaxy S8 like you. Its been 4 years with this phone but now I think it's time for a change. I am planning about buying either Samsung S22 or Google Pixel 7. Glad to see someone who used S8 like me.
@@shabibsadman9154 Through my research, I would've gotten an S23, since there's little difference between the S21and S22. I read and been told the difference between the S21 and S23 is significant.
I bought an A51, before i had a similar A series, lots of issues all around very sluggish performance, button issues, charging issues etc. Im ready to buy either an Iphone 14 or a P7, not sure yet not gonna waste 300 EUR anymore if I can spend 100/200 more and get an actual decent phone
Guys, I have been using my Google Pixel 7 for almost 2 weeks but I am very confused about the Wi-Fi range. Mine is not that strong and I am not sure if yours are like that. Now I'm using my OnePlus 8 and Google pixel 7. But the OnePlus 8 Wi-Fi range is much stronger so can someone of you try to compare his Google Pixel 7 with any other phone and give me the results ?
I didn't like the phone at all and returned it. Face unlock worked maybe 50% of the time, the OS is clunky and not intuitive at all, etc. Disappointing.
How about battery life, heating and modem issues? I keep reading about these issues regarding Pixel phones, specially the 7 line-up, which makes me apprehensive of making the purchase :(
@@youngdani7836 Oh man that's a bummer :/ After reading through so many of those problems I gave up on Pixels. Specially after seeing those weren't exactly solved on Pixel 8. I ended up getting a Xiaomi 14 myself and I'm pretty happy with it!
well... i have the 14 Pro Max and for the second phone I have a Samsung s10+, and now Comcast gives me a Pixel 7 for free!... so a nice update! nice review!
@@miguelvilcam i still love my phone. The only negative that I've personally noticed that has been commented on in other reviews is: the phone does overheat easily from both recording video a lot and/or using it a lot in hot weather. But other then that, there is a lot to love with the photo editing software that pixel has. I will upgrade to another pixel phone when I'm ready to get another phone. Why don't you like your pixel 7?

This is a comparison with the Pixel 6a. Where does it that in the title? Why do you compare it to the 6a? You dont give a reason. Why not compare with a Sony phone, a Nokia phone or an Iphone SE (e.g., 60 hz screen). Why do I even bother writing this?
4:05 Yep, glass is slick...That's why tires and roads aren't made of glass 😁 What was your point? Is this particular glass glassier than other phones'?
Hey i still use a 4yr old samsung A70 and considering upgrade to either S24, pixel 8, iphone 15 pro or just get s23? Cus i heard many positive views abt s23. Which phone you recommend?
i really wanted a camera that has phone capability, rather than a phone i can take pics with, i got mine on discount (£377) so as i saved myself a bunch of money on a digital camera that wouldn't have so many effects i think i got a phone for free (!)
It gets just over 7 hours on browser tests, compared to 9.5 hours for most other flagships (including the 7 pro), making it objectively around 25% worse than where it should be. Add to that the G2 not being very power efficient in heavier tasks and you end up where we are right now (must also not forget to add in the relatively slow charging on the pixel 7). The SOC they intend to use in the Pixel 8 reportedly has the same power efficiency issues, hence why Samsung skipped it and used the SD 8 gen 2 globally this year, so probably won't see a true fix till the Pixel 9 series.
will any reviewer address the heat issue on the Samsung fab Tensor?? signal issues, i.e. again Samsung 5G antenna chip? that's caused so much problem in the Pixel 6? where's the beef?
My Pixel 7 Pro will no longer connect to the network. It's a known issue within Google but no fix in sight. So I'm left with a phone that only works on WiFi. Worst Pixel phone I've ever owned. The 2xl and 6 were the best. I wish mine worked as well as you say yours does.
@@bagasmaulana9286 They're not sure the cause from what they've told me. I've been working when them for 2 months on this. They have no fix and don't know when this issue will be fixed. Now, this is under Google Fi. I am doing a test run on Verizon's network and so far haven't had any issues with it not connecting to the Network immediately. I had asked Google Fi if there could be any type of partial reimbursement for not being able to connect for about 25%+ of the time I should be connected and they said even if you get 1 call, 1 text, or use any part of data, you pay the full monthly fee no matter what. So....we may be switching networks if the verizon network shows no issues with this issue that Google has no fix for.
1:47 if low light is better on the 50mpix Pixel 7, then why is the 6a brighter in low light in both examples...?? you dont make sense. What is good to you?
Purchased 6 weeks ago. Not happy. Weak signal as compared to previous older Samsung. Dropping calls, weaker in all areas previous phone was great. Store could not help, Google Pixel offered no help. Very disappointed and stuck.
My Pixel 2 😢 will be going in the drawer after ordering the Pixel 7 yesterday. Google offered $25 for the trade and I passed. No thanks. Looking forward to the upgrade..
Pixel 7 new on eBay is $425 so I'm going with that. The 6a is about 300 new. Want a big enough difference for me to get the 6a. Besides the 7 was originally 600 plus tax so that's about 200 off.
That’s tough, but the screen quality of the 6 Pro is better plus you get the telephoto camera and better screen refresh rate. So I’d choose the 6 Pro in that situation. Which one were you leaning towards? - Josh
@@6MonthsLatergosh - you take the time to answer his question and he doesn't acknowledge, thank you, or even just 'like' your reply. All too common these days.
Pixel 7 interface is not intuitive. To use the phone, it opens up to contacts and then requires clicking on a tiny icon to bring up the phone keypad. Also, answering the locked phone is nearly impossible… anyone who knows how to fix these things please respond…I’ve looked everywhere and regret buying this phone. The only good thing is the camera and video functionality.
It was my next phone to buy but when i check it in person, it's really bad the screen. It looks worse than my redmi phone in everyway, the color, the bezel... And the smoothness difference is not noticeable. Decided not to buy a pixel 7. Xiaomi did them dirty.
2:30 Weird. That looks like the opposite of what HDR is supposed to do. Bright areas are over exposed. The bird and the treeline in the background underexposed.
You need an HDR capable display to properly view an HDR video. Also, this youtube video is not in HDR so the colors from that HDR video gets washed out and dull since we are viewing it on SDR and not HDR
New generation of Pixels come with Time of Flight sensor or ToF sensor, which is not quite as advanced as Apple's Lidar but it's supposedly a better version of Samsung's basic laser af.
improvements? my pixel 2 take better selfies in every situation, with more details and more accurate colors without the fake overprocessing of Pixel 7, specially in artificial light
Returned mine , I seen the reports about the glass shattering and thought Google’s customer service is shit as it is even when you have regulations in the uk i.e 14 day returns and they still mess up what is going to happen if you actually have a problem? I returned it
Replacing my Pixel 7 with a Motorola Edge 40 Pro for several reasons: - the finger print sensor is the worst I've ever seen. The smallest bit of dust or sweat will make it fail. Even under perfect conditions without above being involved, it only works half of the time, at most. - battery life is below expectations for a phone with, essentially, an upper midrange soc. - phone gets warm from just watching media on it. Not hot, but still noticeable. - the screen size doesn't work. It's too big to be compact and too small to get the advantages of a big phone screen (+ only 90hz, which is below par at the price point). I do like the build quality, clean Android and fast software updates and the 8 should bring a new fingerprint sensor, so might give the 8 pro or 9 pro a try in due course. For now, the Moto looks better on paper, is cheaper, also has clean Android, be it slower updates.
I own pixel 7 about a week now and the Fingerprint sensor Is great, It hasnt missed once! Battery Life Is also great,i am now writing at 20:20, unplugged It at 7:15 (with adaptive night charge,really usefull) now i have 60 % battery left with normal use, about 2 hours Screen on , a lot of music, social..the size Is perfect for me, maybe Just a Little heavy, but fine. Motorola are surr great phones but tue pixel experience Is really quite unique,and the camera quality really blastes me away, its incredibile
You must be one of the lucky ones, the finger print sensor is renowned for failing, hence why the 8 is getting a completely new one. Adding the same print multiple times helps a little, but doesn't come anywhere near to solving the issues. As for the battery, it objectively doesn't do very well against the competition in various tests, not being enough to last till the end of the day for many without some careful battery management. I had high hopes, coming from an iPhone, but I'm not going to simp for an, at its price, mediocre phone in many use cases.
@@henriquemagalhaes3062 was also my fear, but got a cheap Moto for work and a Lenovo tablet (mid 2022 model) at the start of the year and both have actually been getting their promised 2-monthly updates. The company also seems to be picking up its sales pitch in Europe, so I hope they've finally woken up, as I really like their hardware/software. Had Moto's a few years ago, that literally got one or 2 updates after launch before support getting terminated.
Worst phone I've ever owned! After 3 months the phone would flicker green when charging. Then the screen started "bleeding" and going black for no reason. Couldn't spend any time on it because it would over heat. Absolutely worst phone on the market! Stay away!!
Same with my pixel 6. I've never disliked a phone so much. The battery dies so quickly, it overheats a lot. Just yesterday, I tried to do screen mirroring with my Samsung TV and discover d the feature isn't even available. I'm considering going Samsung next year when the ultra drops.
I'll never buy a Google phone every again. I can't connect to my company wifi because Google is using its users to force companies to update their old wifi networks. My IT won't help with providing the required details to log in with my phone because they probably don't know it. Therefore everyone that has a Google device can't connect to wifi on their phones at work. Great job Google. I really feel like a valued costumer.
I very much dislike my Google pixel 7 phone. Does not perform basic functions. Voicemails will not delete. Even after I delete them, it still says mailbox full. Visual voicemail does not work. I try the fixes suggested on the internet with no relief. Texting is terrible - worst I have ever used on a phone. It constantly makes calls randomly that are not initiated. I use this phone for work - if it does not consistently perform these basic tasks, this phone is no use to me and it jeopardizes my job. Horrible real life experience. Not a fan of this phone at all. I have made the decision to get something else.
I turned off animations, 90 refresh Herz, turned on battery saver and only need to charge once. Do that too, plus your phone won't get too heat up, my only problem is during charging it heats up like hell, but after few minutes of vintilator it becomes stable again
I had a Pixel 3, loved it, incredible camera...really superb. Terrible hardware. Camera broke after 3 months in my first one (focusing broke). replacement lasted another 6 months. Third one had massive unexplained battery drain..made it completely unusable. Support was awful. Bought a Iphone 13 mini, and am not going back.
@@eg8049 No, not directly. Just not buying another pixel phone due to the quality control and horrendously poor customer 'support.' I liked the phone a lot camera especially. There are forums full of people with the same issues. Check this guy's review of the pixel watch if you want another example...the screen fell off!
Worst battery life ever! I hope someone from Google sees this comment, I know you can do better, I've never had a problem with my Pixel 1, 3 and 4a, but this upgrade was a downgrade, do better Google, it wouldn't be that big of a deal if you didn't advertise it like it had incredible battery life
I love my 6. Will never buy another pixel. They have the charging port attatched to the motherboard and will not sell you a motherboard if it fails outside warranty. Other designs have repairable/replaceable usb ports. DO NOT BUY PIXELS UNLESS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT. BAD MOVE! I'm sorry i have to post this but i have exhausted all avenues to try to fix it. I'ts sad because otherwise i really enjoy the phone. Totaly bad design.
found it odd i upgraded my phone i am in Canada it says 599 for the 7 everywhere to get it new tho with virgin mobile u could upgrade to it for cost of the phone being 120 $ 5$ m for 2 years or with a 60 down payment 2.50 $ m with a phone plane of 62 $ a mouth 45g data untimed text and calling more data then my old plane where i was paying 55$ for 8 g and same other 2 features after tax and other payments it was 90.25 $ a mouth now its down 74.17 16$ less then my old plane and not sure why the phone is marked down so much if i got it full price with tax it would be 688.85$ can tho its only 120 $ 568.85 off
Always enjoy your videos. Maybe it's just a pet peeve, but come on. There is no FOOTAGE coming out of digital video equipment. Not unless your Pixel uses film or video tape.
I don't know about build quality it feels cheap and hallow tapping on the screen. There are large gaps where dirt can get in. If the build quality was better I would get it. The screen isn't very nice to look at. And HDR is just terrible in every phone at the moment a total gimmick. I would never recommend the pixel 6 due to the G1 chip
The battery life is horrible. 12 hours of life. I made 3 calls all day. It will not connect to my skull candy ear buds. Email had issues connecting via Outlook. I've had numerous glitches. Every time I try again to connect my buds it get app error for draft kings. This part isn't their fault but 5G is horrible. The hotspot will not turn on. Organization is only available on the home screen but all the apps are just in one page. I swear I can go on and on but this is only day 4 of having this phone. I'm ready to toss it in the river. The amazing camera isn't worth it.
I was soooo excited about this phone i switched my whole eco system to google. Got 7 pro from google store. Wost phone ever and useless customer service they won't do anything. Phone loses internet connection randomly though out the dsy at least 2 times a day. Even if connected to wifi connection freezes will only fix by restart. Other phones right beside it never happens. Ive done all the factory reset s all the trouble shooting...it always starts happening a few days later...no body is as disappointed as me. And google store will do nothing but say they understand how frustrating it must be..

The new purchase discounts were about the same(-$125/S23 vs -$150/P7), but the trade-values were crazy different. Samsung's for my old S8(yes, I still have it) was $108/working no cracks. Google's was $320 for my P5 working no cracks.
I nearly committed to the S23 at $466 because of my then good experience with my old S8 BUT, that trade-in I got from Google making the P7 $174 was a crazy good deal, a near $300 difference.
That said, the Pixel 7 has been a joy thus far, and no glitches. Fast, smooth, good battery life, and no wifi issues that I've heard from other P7 owners.
And to think I was just curious, and looking for giggles and shit. Hopefully I won't regret the choice. I WAS gonna buy an S23.
Hey i still use a 4yr old samsung A70 and considering upgrade to either S24, pixel 8, iphone 15 pro or just get s23? Cus i heard many positive views abt s23.
Which phone you recommend?
Hey, so I am also using Samsung Galaxy S8 like you. Its been 4 years with this phone but now I think it's time for a change. I am planning about buying either Samsung S22 or Google Pixel 7. Glad to see someone who used S8 like me.
@@shabibsadman9154 i suggest you get s23 than s22 cus s22 has bad battery and some heating issues. I also suggest to wait pixel 8 too
@@shabibsadman9154 Through my research, I would've gotten an S23, since there's little difference between the S21and S22. I read and been told the difference between the S21 and S23 is significant.
I bought an A51, before i had a similar A series, lots of issues all around
very sluggish performance, button issues, charging issues etc.
Im ready to buy either an Iphone 14 or a P7, not sure yet
not gonna waste 300 EUR anymore if I can spend 100/200 more and get an actual decent phone
Guys, I have been using my Google Pixel 7 for almost 2 weeks but I am very confused about the Wi-Fi range. Mine is not that strong and I am not sure if yours are like that. Now I'm using my OnePlus 8 and Google pixel 7. But the OnePlus 8 Wi-Fi range is much stronger so can someone of you try to compare his Google Pixel 7 with any other phone and give me the results ?
I didn't like the phone at all and returned it. Face unlock worked maybe 50% of the time, the OS is clunky and not intuitive at all, etc. Disappointing.
How about battery life, heating and modem issues? I keep reading about these issues regarding Pixel phones, specially the 7 line-up, which makes me apprehensive of making the purchase :(
True! Horrible battery, getting hot, sometimes frozen screen which I haven't seen in any latest phones. Apart from this , the camera is brilliant
@@youngdani7836 Oh man that's a bummer :/ After reading through so many of those problems I gave up on Pixels. Specially after seeing those weren't exactly solved on Pixel 8. I ended up getting a Xiaomi 14 myself and I'm pretty happy with it!
well... i have the 14 Pro Max and for the second phone I have a Samsung s10+, and now Comcast gives me a Pixel 7 for free!... so a nice update! nice review!
Only thing I miss with my 7 is double color on the back...wish they brought it back
Ive had my pixel 7 for 8 months now and love it
Are you still loving it. I have high expectations in 2024 but I only hear horrible comments :(((((
@@miguelvilcam i still love my phone. The only negative that I've personally noticed that has been commented on in other reviews is: the phone does overheat easily from both recording video a lot and/or using it a lot in hot weather. But other then that, there is a lot to love with the photo editing software that pixel has. I will upgrade to another pixel phone when I'm ready to get another phone. Why don't you like your pixel 7?
@@paulremick4291 I love pixel phones I had the pixel 2 before and it was amazing, then I used a low budget Samsung and now I am considering buying a new brand pixel 7 because I really liked the pixel experience and I found it in a good price ,however In reddit I heard a lot of negative comments around the pixel 7 and that escares me because I have high expectations of this phone.
@@paulremick4291 I had a pixel 2 before but I changed to a Samsung a22 because I was on a budget . I loved the pixel experience before and I could not take pixel out of my head. Now I found pixel 7 brand new in a good price and I have high expectations but most of the comments I find in reddit says negative things and that makes me unsure.
This is a comparison with the Pixel 6a. Where does it that in the title? Why do you compare it to the 6a? You dont give a reason. Why not compare with a Sony phone, a Nokia phone or an Iphone SE (e.g., 60 hz screen). Why do I even bother writing this?
Cause 6a was googles previous phone. Sony and Nokia phones are not available in the USA.
You are not very intelligent, are you?
Is buying a refurbished pixel 7 from eBay still worth it?
Just bought one for 279 excellent condition, no issues for me. I love it better than my iPhone 15 pro.
Just bought mine brand new and sealed on ebay £250 can't wait for it to arrive
4:05 Yep, glass is slick...That's why tires and roads aren't made of glass 😁
What was your point? Is this particular glass glassier than other phones'?
My s21 plus glass is more slick than my pixel 7 lol. I guess this guy has the slickest glass ever!
Hey i still use a 4yr old samsung A70 and considering upgrade to either S24, pixel 8, iphone 15 pro or just get s23? Cus i heard many positive views abt s23.
Which phone you recommend?
i really wanted a camera that has phone capability, rather than a phone i can take pics with, i got mine on discount (£377) so as i saved myself a bunch of money on a digital camera that wouldn't have so many effects i think i got a phone for free (!)
Where did you buy it from please?
What's the battery like ? 7/8 hours sot ? Will it last from 7 am till 12am ?
It gets just over 7 hours on browser tests, compared to 9.5 hours for most other flagships (including the 7 pro), making it objectively around 25% worse than where it should be. Add to that the G2 not being very power efficient in heavier tasks and you end up where we are right now (must also not forget to add in the relatively slow charging on the pixel 7).
The SOC they intend to use in the Pixel 8 reportedly has the same power efficiency issues, hence why Samsung skipped it and used the SD 8 gen 2 globally this year, so probably won't see a true fix till the Pixel 9 series.
@@michaeldendulk2230 great reply, thinking of skipping it now
For what it’s worth I typically get about 7 1/2 hours and in the day on about 30% and use it relatively heavy
Plan to get a 7a this year
great video :)
Is a Google Pixel 7 better than a Samsung Galaxy A54 ?
will any reviewer address the heat issue on the Samsung fab Tensor?? signal issues, i.e. again Samsung 5G antenna chip? that's caused so much problem in the Pixel 6? where's the beef?
Are there any good alternatives for the pixel 7 ? For 600 dollars
My Pixel 7 Pro will no longer connect to the network. It's a known issue within Google but no fix in sight. So I'm left with a phone that only works on WiFi. Worst Pixel phone I've ever owned. The 2xl and 6 were the best.
I wish mine worked as well as you say yours does.
Factory reset ? Or exchange due to hardware defect?
@@ashleythomas1988 supposedly it's a cellular issue so Google Fi is looking into it. Reset and all that doesn't work.
I have the same issue, and I believe it's because of the 5G feature. Still waiting for the system update.
@@bagasmaulana9286 They're not sure the cause from what they've told me. I've been working when them for 2 months on this. They have no fix and don't know when this issue will be fixed. Now, this is under Google Fi. I am doing a test run on Verizon's network and so far haven't had any issues with it not connecting to the Network immediately. I had asked Google Fi if there could be any type of partial reimbursement for not being able to connect for about 25%+ of the time I should be connected and they said even if you get 1 call, 1 text, or use any part of data, you pay the full monthly fee no matter what. So....we may be switching networks if the verizon network shows no issues with this issue that Google has no fix for.
I got this phone and it didn't last me 2 weeks . my heart is hurting I do not recommend
Why, what happened?
@@kentziyamato probably battery leakage or motherboard died
Why are you comparing it to the 6a ???? Why not the pixel 6 ?
This is just a regular review of features, not what you discovered during the 6 months you've been using it :/
1:47 if low light is better on the 50mpix Pixel 7, then why is the 6a brighter in low light in both examples...?? you dont make sense. What is good to you?
Which one is better 7 or 7a ? What is the recommendation. I'm confused
7 over 7a
What a fresh tech channel
i just got me the 7a with the pixel buds a for 240...couldnt go for 7 pro or 8 series when the price is so insanely good.
Is pixel 7 worth than s23? In terms of the value and the camera? And the design is it ugly than s23?
Purchased 6 weeks ago. Not happy. Weak signal as compared to previous older Samsung. Dropping calls, weaker in all areas previous phone was great. Store could not help, Google Pixel offered no help. Very disappointed and stuck.
thx Josh, good video
Has anyone switched from a iPhone to a pixel and if so how do you feel about your choice
My Pixel 2 😢 will be going in the drawer after ordering the Pixel 7 yesterday. Google offered $25 for the trade and I passed. No thanks. Looking forward to the upgrade..
Pixel 7 new on eBay is $425 so I'm going with that. The 6a is about 300 new. Want a big enough difference for me to get the 6a. Besides the 7 was originally 600 plus tax so that's about 200 off.
Just got a new one for $300 on eBay, finally upgrading my 3a
For the price, can't complain. Especially if you compare it to a similarly priced iphone. I got my pixel 7 for $449. That's the price of an old iphone
Are these phones Secure? Will you need any sort of antivirus?
Nah
Which is better Pixel 6 Pro or Pixel 7?
That’s tough, but the screen quality of the 6 Pro is better plus you get the telephoto camera and better screen refresh rate. So I’d choose the 6 Pro in that situation. Which one were you leaning towards? - Josh
@@6MonthsLatergosh - you take the time to answer his question and he doesn't acknowledge, thank you, or even just 'like' your reply. All too common these days.
Are the displays on pixel as bright as Samsung? On video, they seem slightly dim. I watch lot of TH-cam so wanted better viewing exp.
A lot of talk about just the camera. Very little on battery. Almost nothing on performance.
Pixel 7 interface is not intuitive. To use the phone, it opens up to contacts and then requires clicking on a tiny icon to bring up the phone keypad. Also, answering the locked phone is nearly impossible… anyone who knows how to fix these things please respond…I’ve looked everywhere and regret buying this phone. The only good thing is the camera and video functionality.
Is this good for seniors? My mom has a el cheapo Samsung J7. It's so slow. And it's been almost 6 yrs
It was my next phone to buy but when i check it in person, it's really bad the screen. It looks worse than my redmi phone in everyway, the color, the bezel... And the smoothness difference is not noticeable. Decided not to buy a pixel 7. Xiaomi did them dirty.
Just got it from Google for 519€ anniversary discount! Excited
Quite a set of chompers you had in that unblur photo 😂
😂
2:30 Weird. That looks like the opposite of what HDR is supposed to do. Bright areas are over exposed. The bird and the treeline in the background underexposed.
You need an HDR capable display to properly view an HDR video. Also, this youtube video is not in HDR so the colors from that HDR video gets washed out and dull since we are viewing it on SDR and not HDR
New generation of Pixels come with Time of Flight sensor or ToF sensor, which is not quite as advanced as Apple's Lidar but it's supposedly a better version of Samsung's basic laser af.
Does it charge wireless at flat surfaces (car) (flat - NO charging PAD)
Pixel 7 Pro can share battery?
improvements? my pixel 2 take better selfies in every situation, with more details and more accurate colors without the fake overprocessing of Pixel 7, specially in artificial light
Does it make good calls and text... Mines comes in a couple days... I'm a simple guy ya know...
Pixel 7 wifi sucks, my old S8 has zero wifi issues. Pixel 7 will buffer on TH-cam, meanwhile S8 side by side has zero issues
Returned mine , I seen the reports about the glass shattering and thought Google’s customer service is shit as it is even when you have regulations in the uk i.e 14 day returns and they still mess up what is going to happen if you actually have a problem? I returned it
You returned it because google customer service is shit? Why did you buy it in the first place? lol
Replacing my Pixel 7 with a Motorola Edge 40 Pro for several reasons:
- the finger print sensor is the worst I've ever seen. The smallest bit of dust or sweat will make it fail. Even under perfect conditions without above being involved, it only works half of the time, at most.
- battery life is below expectations for a phone with, essentially, an upper midrange soc.
- phone gets warm from just watching media on it. Not hot, but still noticeable.
- the screen size doesn't work. It's too big to be compact and too small to get the advantages of a big phone screen (+ only 90hz, which is below par at the price point).
I do like the build quality, clean Android and fast software updates and the 8 should bring a new fingerprint sensor, so might give the 8 pro or 9 pro a try in due course. For now, the Moto looks better on paper, is cheaper, also has clean Android, be it slower updates.
I own pixel 7 about a week now and the Fingerprint sensor Is great, It hasnt missed once! Battery Life Is also great,i am now writing at 20:20, unplugged It at 7:15 (with adaptive night charge,really usefull) now i have 60 % battery left with normal use, about 2 hours Screen on , a lot of music, social..the size Is perfect for me, maybe Just a Little heavy, but fine. Motorola are surr great phones but tue pixel experience Is really quite unique,and the camera quality really blastes me away, its incredibile
You must be one of the lucky ones, the finger print sensor is renowned for failing, hence why the 8 is getting a completely new one. Adding the same print multiple times helps a little, but doesn't come anywhere near to solving the issues.
As for the battery, it objectively doesn't do very well against the competition in various tests, not being enough to last till the end of the day for many without some careful battery management.
I had high hopes, coming from an iPhone, but I'm not going to simp for an, at its price, mediocre phone in many use cases.
Moto is good but lacks a lot on upgrades. Other than that is good
@@henriquemagalhaes3062 was also my fear, but got a cheap Moto for work and a Lenovo tablet (mid 2022 model) at the start of the year and both have actually been getting their promised 2-monthly updates. The company also seems to be picking up its sales pitch in Europe, so I hope they've finally woken up, as I really like their hardware/software.
Had Moto's a few years ago, that literally got one or 2 updates after launch before support getting terminated.
Worst phone I've ever owned! After 3 months the phone would flicker green when charging. Then the screen started "bleeding" and going black for no reason. Couldn't spend any time on it because it would over heat. Absolutely worst phone on the market! Stay away!!
Same with my pixel 6. I've never disliked a phone so much. The battery dies so quickly, it overheats a lot. Just yesterday, I tried to do screen mirroring with my Samsung TV and discover d the feature isn't even available. I'm considering going Samsung next year when the ultra drops.
@@anifowosehabeeb4716 I got the Samsung galaxy s23 ultra and I'm loving it
Completely disagree. You must have gotten a bad piece.
@EG well maybe but I'm reading more and more of the pixel 7 pro being a bad phone.
@@eg8049 if you got a 'good' pixel since the pixel 6 launch, then you're the exception and not the rule.
Is it still worth getting the pixel 6 for $320 brand new? (my budget is $350 max😮)
I own a pixel 6, in terms of hardware, it's the absolute worst I've ever used. Overheats a lot, batter drains so fast and the fingerprint sucks.
Go for a 6a! A nice small size smartphone. I own one and I have zero complains.
6 i have heard overheats. Go for 7
I'll never buy a Google phone every again.
I can't connect to my company wifi because Google is using its users to force companies to update their old wifi networks.
My IT won't help with providing the required details to log in with my phone because they probably don't know it. Therefore everyone that has a Google device can't connect to wifi on their phones at work. Great job Google. I really feel like a valued costumer.
Pixel 7 is THE WORST phone I've ever used. I'd rather go back to my LG tribute. Holy sh!t.
was excited to get a new pixel 7 but they only take $350 for my iphone 14
I cant flip my selfie videos tho. Is there a solution for this?
Does pixel 7 support ldac?
You need an HDR capable display to properly view an HDR video.
why is half of the review just about cameras.
Why face unlock is not available in 6 Pro?
I very much dislike my Google pixel 7 phone. Does not perform basic functions. Voicemails will not delete. Even after I delete them, it still says mailbox full. Visual voicemail does not work. I try the fixes suggested on the internet with no relief. Texting is terrible - worst I have ever used on a phone. It constantly makes calls randomly that are not initiated. I use this phone for work - if it does not consistently perform these basic tasks, this phone is no use to me and it jeopardizes my job. Horrible real life experience. Not a fan of this phone at all. I have made the decision to get something else.
yeah, the only redeeming quality of pixel is camera processing but everything else is just garbage
jumpscare at 0:53
The worst phone I've ever had, battery is draining out in no time
I turned off animations, 90 refresh Herz, turned on battery saver and only need to charge once. Do that too, plus your phone won't get too heat up, my only problem is during charging it heats up like hell, but after few minutes of vintilator it becomes stable again
I had a Pixel 3, loved it, incredible camera...really superb.
Terrible hardware. Camera broke after 3 months in my first one (focusing broke). replacement lasted another 6 months. Third one had massive unexplained battery drain..made it completely unusable. Support was awful.

Worst battery life ever! I hope someone from Google sees this comment, I know you can do better, I've never had a problem with my Pixel 1, 3 and 4a, but this upgrade was a downgrade, do better Google, it wouldn't be that big of a deal if you didn't advertise it like it had incredible battery life
my pixel 7 has good battery, just don't use it every single hour bruh or turn on the battery optimizer.
Does pixel 7 support ldac
Wireless charging really sucks,charging turn off and on when ever it wants
I love my 6. Will never buy another pixel. They have the charging port attatched to the motherboard and will not sell you a motherboard if it fails outside warranty. Other designs have repairable/replaceable usb ports.
DO NOT BUY PIXELS UNLESS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT. BAD MOVE! I'm sorry i have to post this but i have exhausted all avenues to try to fix it. I'ts sad because otherwise i really enjoy the phone. Totaly bad design.
yes its worth it
found it odd i upgraded my phone i am in Canada it says 599 for the 7 everywhere to get it new tho with virgin mobile u could upgrade to it for cost of the phone being 120 $ 5$ m for 2 years or with a 60 down payment 2.50 $ m with a phone plane of 62 $ a mouth 45g data untimed text and calling more data then my old plane where i was paying 55$ for 8 g and same other 2 features after tax and other payments it was 90.25 $ a mouth now its down 74.17 16$ less then my old plane and not sure why the phone is marked down so much if i got it full price with tax it would be 688.85$ can tho its only 120 $ 568.85 off
Always enjoy your videos. Maybe it's just a pet peeve, but come on. There is no FOOTAGE coming out of digital video equipment. Not unless your Pixel uses film or video tape.
bro really said 👁👄👁
The phone’s design at the back already looks like it’s from 2008 already, did not age well.
I don't know about build quality it feels cheap and hallow tapping on the screen. There are large gaps where dirt can get in. If the build quality was better I would get it. The screen isn't very nice to look at.
And HDR is just terrible in every phone at the moment a total gimmick.
I would never recommend the pixel 6 due to the G1 chip
As soon as iMessage works on android. I’m switching. I’m done with Apple
I dont think Apple will allow androids to have imessage. Better have Whatsapp or some other messaging app.
The battery life is horrible. 12 hours of life. I made 3 calls all day. It will not connect to my skull candy ear buds. Email had issues connecting via Outlook. I've had numerous glitches. Every time I try again to connect my buds it get app error for draft kings. This part isn't their fault but 5G is horrible. The hotspot will not turn on. Organization is only available on the home screen but all the apps are just in one page. I swear I can go on and on but this is only day 4 of having this phone. I'm ready to toss it in the river. The amazing camera isn't worth it.

I was soooo excited about this phone i switched my whole eco system to google. Got 7 pro from google store. Wost phone ever and useless customer service they won't do anything. Phone loses internet connection randomly though out the dsy at least 2 times a day. Even if connected to wifi connection freezes will only fix by restart. Other phones right beside it never happens. Ive done all the factory reset s all the trouble shooting...it always starts happening a few days later...no body is as disappointed as me. And google store will do nothing but say they understand how frustrating it must be..
