My family bought me a Pixel 7 Pro to replace my easy to use small Flip Phone that had nothing wrong with it. It took me 2 months to figure out how to make a telephone call. Apparently there is no place around me that offers lessons in Smartphones (I am 85) but it sure would be nice because I will never figure out all of this stuff.
My wife and I have been using the Pixel 7 pro since it's release, and we honestly love the device. We highly recommend it to anyone thinking about getting one.
My wife and I have just got P7P's ourselves. Excellent phones, came from 1+ 7T and feels like a nice upgrade. Call quality is night and day. Very slick to use too.
@@bhagum9906 nah I have a OnePlus 7 Pro and I don't like the curved screen. Looks good but in practice it gives me a lot of issues using my phone in landscape lol
I've had P7pro for about a month now and it's been great. I took a break from Android and had an iPhone for last five years and it's been so refreshing being back and this device has a perfect welcome back to Android for me. I was a nexus user and owned every one of those that came out. The pixel was definitely going to be my phone coming back to Android.
Glad to hear it. When I hear people talk about overheating and it not running smooth it really surprises me. I went with the a series this time to save money. I was blown away with how good the 6a is for the price. It doesn't feel like a cheap phone at all.
I have no idea why people like Google phones so much, I bought the pixel 7 Pro, the battery was rubbish, its way too big, apps are sluggish and it doesn't even feel very premium to me, sent it back, Samsung are just way better
I've had a Nexus 5 a Pixel 3 and I'm currently using a Pixel 7 Pro. I've been very happy with all my phones and I really can't see switching to anything else. It's not so much the hardware or the cameras that I like but the software. I like the idea of pure unadulterated android with no skins or embellishments. Each phone that I bought I've purchased directly from Google. Nothing makes me grind my teeth more than the idea of verizon or ATT putting their apps on my phone then not letting me remove them. That's one of the things that annoys the hell out of me about my Tab 7a I think it is. There are samsung programs on there that I don't use and I will never use but I can't delete them. If I could I'd wipe the memory and put a risc version of linux on the tablet or a plain vanilla version of android, but I digress. For me the biggest selling point of the Pixel phones is the software and no extra crap from phone companies.
Been using the 7 Pro since December. I love it, just my biggest gripe is that I wish the software was more customizable. Sure we have launchers for that, but still.
@@Worthless. I get where you're coming from. I've should've been more specific. I wish there was more native customization, you feel me? Like let me get rid of the At a Glance widget and the search bar for example.
I prefer the curved screen, they make the gesture navigation feel so much better in my opinion. Not to mention they just feel more premium to hold. I don't like the idea of Google getting potential praise for going back to utilizing a cheaper display. Think about it, sure if you drop your phone a lot they cost us more to repair...but that means it's a more expensive component. You already know Google aren't going to pass the savings of a flat display onto the consumer either
My pixel 7 pro battery life in terms of SOT for QHD+ is around 5hrs(on average) and sometimes even 4. Changing it to 1080p helped me a lot. I get high 6hrs of SOT but it's still far from your experience. I've been using the phone for more than 1 month now. Something I've noticed is either some users get really good battery life or meh, quite interesting.
Yeah not everyone's usage is the same and on top of that, not every unit (phone/battery) is the same either. So it all depends. I average 7hrs comfortably, but like I said, it's more like 5.5-6.5 with heavy use.
I mean I'm a power user, I drained the batteries on even my Samsung S20 Ultra back in the day. I've just learned that I will need to charge in my vehicle, at the office, and bring a charger or power brick if I'm going to be away from home for a day or more. While the Pixels do not last quite as long, I will say the adaptive charging is really nice to have and lengthens the lifespan of the battery. My S20s battery was amazing when I first got it but over time the battery degraded and saw results similar to what my pixel gets anyways. At least the pixel has been consistent and I don't feel the need to replace the battery.
I have the pixel 7 pro and my girl has the regular pixel 7 and she actually is jealous of the curve on the display. She says the curve makes it feel like it's thinner.
I've owned the 7 Pro, but in the end, I prefer One UI, and I'm loving the SGS23 Ultra. Still, the 7 Pro is perfect for most people who aren't Samsung sheep like me 😅
Just ran across your channel. A+. Your content, narration, and visuals are so refreshing. Def excelling past Marques, and some of the other heavy hitters out there. Keep it up.
🧊It's September of 2024, and yes, I am in the market for a new phone, and yes, I'm eyeing on the Pixel 7 Pro. No, not everyone has the budget to snatch up latests and/or greatests. I have since watched 4 long-term reviews of this phone and I must say this was the best-written one there is. Whereas other reviewers would just go through their laundry list, I felt as though I was listening to a narrative of sorts while watching yours. I am convinced that I will get one (second-hand, of course) and your review definitely helped make the decision. Good work, sir, and hats off.
Can we say that the pixel 7 pro is one hot phone!!! Im loving it. The only Minor issue that i have as of now is it takes a little bit to charge fully but thats a minor issue. Pixel 7 pro is a bad azz phone 📱
I just got the pixel 7a I always wanted a pixel because of how easy it is to get a good photo every time you take a photo, and I watched a few blind camera tests and to me photos consistently looked better on the 7a, the finger print scanner has been fine for me I haven't noticed a problem yet
The main thing that is helping this phone is that it has been on sale since it came out. At my job the 7 Pro was $499.99, but now 5 months later it is $399.99. Google is banking on users buying them cause they are on sale and upgrading them to a new on in the future. Plus they will making all of that money back by them selling their data. Just makes you question if the phone is really worth $900 when they keep selling it at the price of a 6A
I switched to the pixel 7 from the iphone 11 pro. Does the job just fine and I am not missing the iphone. Truthfully, i dont utilize the ecosystem and i have an ipad and macbook.
It's wild to me because the wired charging is just over 20 watts but it seems to get so warm when charging rapidly. I also feel like it's weird that the adaptive charging overnight will fast charge up to 80% and then just keep it there all night as opposed to charging at slower or regular speeds over a couple hours. Even when I have an alarm set it still fast charges every time when plugged in over night.
The charging on the Pixel line is a joke and is only at ultra budget level on Android in 2023. I just paid £99 for an OPPO to be have a mess with and that charges at 33 watts
3xl slaps, the notch was a non-issue and having the wide angle for selfies made it genuinely useful in lots of situations. Textured glass back was luxurious and the 1440p OLEF was great for content. Still mad about the bad rap it got from techtubers.
Performance is great. I ocassionly would lose signal but eventually it got fixed with updates just like how you mentioned. My son is into his games on his pixel 7 regular phone and he loves it. From what he tells me it runs smooth and battery runs pretty long. I only once experience my phone overheating but it needed an update and it got fixed at the end of the day. I'm definitely will stay with the upcoming Pixel models .
i got the pixel 7 pro at the original price, but i preordered it. so i... got the watch for free. I think that's still one of the best deals even after half of year since launch. i kinda love this phone and didn't stumble over a lot of the issues people are complaining about. i hope it just gets improved and better with time especially in the camera department. Yes pro mode would definitely be nice, and definitely portrait video needs a good amount of retouch. Also from what i noticed the most battery drain is in the camera department so i'd love to see less battery drain in the camera app (obviously with no camera performance shortcuts). I am not that upset with the pro camera missing (even though for me that would be the most significant and desirable feature) because RAW file format for capturing photos is there as a compromise for the missing pro mode and in fact you can get some awesome and amazingly fine shots in post.
Amazing video bro. I absolutely love your style of content. So chill in your delivery, funny as hell and giving these phones an earnest review when others would not. You’re great at what you do. Also, I need to know what’s that wallpaper app you’re using? It looks dope!
The software is good, but the hardware is really bad! The front panel has broken 5 time's and the back glass is awful, it broke once. Google cut corners in this phone.
I have the P7P, only because I got a great trade-in on my P6P. I'm all in on these phones. I know they are not benchmark killers or the fastest chargers, but they are almost always super smooth and mine works well for what I need. If the trade-in offers are strong for the P8P, I may give it a shot.
May I ask how good the trade in deal on your phone was? All of the "trade in deal estimates" online I look at have terrible results for phones that just released (~30-40% value back) and I am wondering if it changes once you actually send your phone in.
I've used a bunch of android phones over the years and they'll have an issue every once in a while. The problems on the Pixel have been easy to fix and haven't been frequent or anything. The difference is that when the Pixel has an issue, it's always something so weird.
Considering I own a Pixel 2 XL, the Pixel 7 Pro looks good. Far better cameras (ones I will use). Plus I no longer get the updates, security or system. I need a reliable phone and it'll be good to have those updates again and 5G.
Wow, great follow up review. I say drop the curve. It's been a gimmick whose time is over. I bought the 7 about four months ago, and I've really enjoyed it.
I absolutely love your videos. There are only a few tech channels which I love to look upto for daily tech updates and you are one of them. Would love to see more videos from you.
5:46 closer to mid ranger? Tensor G2 scores ~1400/3800 on Geekbench 6, which is in between SD 888, 8 Gen 1 and 8+ Gen 1, and in some cases renders files even faster than those mentioned chips, only downside is efficiency, thanks to Samsung nm node tech.
I think this is a sign of midrange chips becoming too good rather than Tensor G2 not being good enough...the latest SD 7+ Gen 2 scored 1416/4117 on Geekbench 5, but that is the best of the best of the midrange so I'd say it still is a bit unfair to flat out say Tensor G2 is midrange
@@jerrywu615 So true, midrange is plenty powerful to todays standard, no one even able to use all raw power of CPUs inside phones. With that said, G2 is plenty, even if it scores less than lets say SD 8+ Gen 1, it still managed to so certains things faster, like rendering. Efficiency is different story.
You had me at, The lady on the plane with her 3xl. Because that's what I'm watching this review on. I bought this new in 2020, and it works perfectly, is flawless cosmetically and still gives me about 5 hours screen on time. I think my biggest complaint is the speakers on the newer models. Front facing stereo speakers is my most favorite feature on a phone. And for Pixel to move the bottom speaker to the bottom,,,SUCKS! 😢. Please Google, bring um back 🙏. Anyway, the 7pro looks like a winner, but! I am not thrilled with that gigantic camera bump? No, ramp. But I guess with a good case, it'll level out. I also think id rather have a rear finger print sensor. But never had one in screen, so who knows. All in all once I can find one new for around 400, 500, I will probably take a shot. I'm stuck at android 12 now, but still has really good features. And yes, that's what makes you reviewers like phone millionaires, there's nothing to having the best at your fingertips. Good review, thanks 👍
Maybe I'm in the minority here... but I actually don't ever want to see something like a Pixel Ultra. I don't even want a Pixel Pro. I want a small Pixel and a Pixel XL that are both super awesome and have exactly the same specs. Because people should not ever be penalized for wanting a smaller phone.
Could you do a comparison between the 6 Pro and 7 Pro? I find both spec quite similar, but I heard 6 Pro has a lot of bugs, so what is your expert opinion?
I absolutely adore my Pixel 6 & 7 pro!!!!!! I can't wait to get my son & I the 8 pro not cus these aren't amazing it's just how much I truly appreciate all the Google is doing. Also the only thing my son enjoys is his phone he has special needs we try to get him a new one each year for Xmas & he's already seen the new 8 😊 Google has made things so easy for us
I have had the 7 pro since release day the only thing I'm disappointed about is the video, why is the noise always around the outside of the video that you take, I was actually relieved to see it in your video, but highly recommend the phone
TH-camrs have over hyped the Pixel 7 pro. These are the reasons I returned mine after using it: call quality is not clear, the phone gets uncomfortably hot to the touch when using youtube, web browsing, and recording with camera, the camera over processes dark colors making them look darker, battery is terrible and charges to slow, some app would freeze and end up crashing, some bugs on the interface not working properly.
I've had the pixel 6 pro for a year and a half now and never had any problems with it. Just because the phone didn't work out for you doesn't mean everyone is lying about it.
Really appreciate your .. reviews I'm still enjoying my pixel 6 pro seems like it's getting better for me... But I'll be waiting for the pixel 8 pro...
Great phone. Battery life could be better. Lackluster experience. Simple but it gets the job done. Definitely a phone for the business minded individual. Slow, Slow battery charging. It takes over an hour. My OnePlus 11 charges in 13 minutes, and that's a huge game changer.
Early on in the video you shown the viewfinder on the camera with the blinds. is what you seen in the viewfinder accurate to when you get once the picture has been taken thanks
I’m looking for a USB-C splitter for my Pixel 7 Pro that can connect to its USB-C port. The splitter should have two female USB-C ports: one ffor connecting USB-C Apple EarPods to make phone calls, and the other for charging the phone and supporting data transfer. This data transfer should enable USB debugging mode, allowing me to use the mirroring application, scrcpy. I’ve noticed that most productss on Amazon only supportt data transfer on the port that supports audio, but not on the charging port. Can you recommend a product that meets these requirements?
Oneplus 11 is a much better phone... I had the Pixel 7 pro and sent it back after a week. it was just not a good quality phone especially the screen! The screen felt and sounded like plastic. it was so loud and sounded hollow when typing on it. The charging was slow compared to others and after getting the Oneplus after having the Pixel it was night and day difference in quality. Oneplus 11 is premium and just feels so much better build quality.
I have both! 1+11 and the pixel 7 Pro... bought them 1 after the other in the same week! I find the Oneplus to be doing a flawless job - bugfree! while the Pixel 7 Pro is unofficial in India, 5G does not show up with the same sim I get to work on the 1+... 5G is enabled in the pixel, but having a hard time. Stuck with LTE
Pixel still has a ways to go. I bought many pixel over time I wind up not using it as long as I want to. I have been using Samsung phones for a long time now and I wanted the pixel to be my main phones. But the pixel line up has fail to do that. I owned every pixel since the pixel 2xl and try to switch over every chance but I wind up going back to the Samsung phones I had. Till this day the pixel 7 pro has not change my preferences and I wind up going back to my s22 ultra and now my s23 ultra. Some of the most basic stuff, to me, are better on the Samsung phones. One UI, the screen (more solid feel), better optimization, cellular modem and better battery are just better on Samsung. Also the charging speed is a joke on this phone. Maximum charge is a 22 watt charger and it still takes almost 2 hours. That's not fast charging. My old Samsung phones charged faster than that. Pixel still needs work and Google needs to fix what important. The only thing Pixel has an advantage over any phone now is still pictures and voice to text.
Using 7 pro. My one and only complaint is its speaker. I switched from s20+ to this. And I feel like the s20+'s speaker is louder and better. Other than this, this phone is steeeel.
@@nmrlab3807 hey After 3 months I learned that this device is not a flagship, so don’t expect great thermal performance. The battery is below just average. The device excels in photos. I don’t advice you to do gaming because it gets overheated easily
Exynos (Tensor) will hold Pixel back, it's not capable of handling games and or data, the chip is overwhelmed and gets hot and crashes...until google dump that chip, they won't win.
Stay away from this crappy phone.one month I have this phone and problems are:always hot,bad battery,you must look manually network in roaming, because it cannot pick it automatically, widget problems, Google photos problem, Deezer problems , Glitches on every step.awful phone
I used the google pixel 2 until a few weeks ago. Went with the iPhone 14promax. It’s ok. The main reason why I went iPhone is my work phone is an iPhone and I can’t email my scanned paperwork because I can’t use my own email address and was never and probably will never get a company email. I airdrop the scanned items to my phone and it works great. I do not like the typing on the iPhone, pixel is better. Siri sucks balls. I don’t do any social media.
The notch does not bother.. however , thick bezels and even thicker chins along with curved display.. man WHY ? Its just bad , period. yes cameras are top, but unfortunately this is all going for them , and i for one look at the package as a whole , if i want jsut camera there are dslr's ... For now pixel is a no go until it looks pleasing to me. Yes i am ios user , and yes im locked by watches and macbooks and stuff ,but as soon as pixels fix what i said i hate about them .. i will definitely try google with serious intentions , but that will happen only with a Pixel phone and not before what i said happens.
Wish they had more color option. That grey glossy color looks disgusting, the white one looks ok...but wish we had orange, purple, green, matte black maybe.
I own pixel 7 pro for 4-5 weeks now, so still fresh. Also, how it fits hand is really important to me, so I've purchased "carbon" case (cuz I'm not convinced it's real carbon), but man, it changes the game completely
I got it and sold in a month! All good except the design it hurts my hand ...its useless piece of tech and tried pubg which performed worse than one plus -Pixel 5 user
I’ve been a happy iPhone user since the 4S, but I’m being tempted by the Pixel 7 Pro and S23 Ultra… I love the look and overall experience of pure android that you get with the Pixels, but the S23 Ultra’s superior screen is very attractive. Not sure what I’ll do…
Get a pixel not Samsung. I had the S23 for a week and it’s not pure android at all and not as stable. Pixel is pure android basically the iPhone of android
Specs today are only making marginal changes, very often not justifying the price difference. So the true value today is given by software, and in therms of innovation, Pixel is currently King in my opinion.
I wish Samsung would stop and figure out what's up with their foundry. They need work. I'm sure when they hit it, they will HIT it. Until then. I stay away from expectations of non heat. I still want a pixel 7ro or even 6pro. But, the video needs work. The one thing that pixel has is TRUE optimization. 😊
I've had the P7P for about three weeks now, first time user of a Google phone. Pretty smooth, feels premium but there are some things I'm not a fan of. Speakers aren't loud, wish I didn't have to use Nova launcher for better customization. Battery charges slow as well. Still a good phone. Currently, still use my iPhone 14 Pro and S23U more at the moment. Nice review, new sub!
I know the Google Pixel 7 Pro has 128 GB storage but how much of the storage is used up by the phone’s “system” right out of the box? How much storage will I actually have for my pic, vids, apps, etc, Thanks
@@ZachAndersonI bought the P7P and it has exceeded my expectations! The performance and functionality are excellent and the camera is AMAZING! Thanks for the review it helped me to decide what phone to buy. I ended up buying the 256 GB and the “system” right out of the box used 15 GB, not bad, Thanks again.
Glad you are back. Upload more on your channel rather than howtomen and android police 😅

Yes pro mode would definitely be nice, and definitely portrait video needs a good amount of retouch. Also from what i noticed the most battery drain is in the camera department so i'd love to see less battery drain in the camera app (obviously with no camera performance shortcuts). I am not that upset with the pro camera missing (even though for me that would be the most significant and desirable feature) because RAW file format for capturing photos is there as a compromise for the missing pro mode and in fact you can get some awesome and amazingly fine shots in post.
Love my Pixel 7 Pro!
Amazing video bro. I absolutely love your style of content. So chill in your delivery, funny as hell and giving these phones an earnest review when others would not. You’re great at what you do. Also, I need to know what’s that wallpaper app you’re using? It looks dope!
The software is good, but the hardware is really bad! The front panel has broken 5 time's and the back glass is awful, it broke once. Google cut corners in this phone.
I love my pixel 7 PRO but god I miss the s pen from my old Samsung
I have the P7P, only because I got a great trade-in on my P6P. I'm all in on these phones. I know they are not benchmark killers or the fastest chargers, but they are almost always super smooth and mine works well for what I need. If the trade-in offers are strong for the P8P, I may give it a shot.
May I ask how good the trade in deal on your phone was? All of the "trade in deal estimates" online I look at have terrible results for phones that just released (~30-40% value back) and I am wondering if it changes once you actually send your phone in.
I've used a bunch of android phones over the years and they'll have an issue every once in a while.
The problems on the Pixel have been easy to fix and haven't been frequent or anything. The difference is that when the Pixel has an issue, it's always something so weird.
Considering I own a Pixel 2 XL, the Pixel 7 Pro looks good. Far better cameras (ones I will use). Plus I no longer get the updates, security or system. I need a reliable phone and it'll be good to have those updates again and 5G.
Wow, great follow up review. I say drop the curve. It's been a gimmick whose time is over. I bought the 7 about four months ago, and I've really enjoyed it.
Definitely time for the Pixel to drop the curved display. Looks like that's going to happen on the 8 Pro.
Best phone ever if you can stand the heat.
This is like my dream phone ❄️
Is it still worth it or should i rather wait for the Pixel 8 Pro? And will there another Pre Order offer for the Pixel 8 Pro?
I love mine. It's by far the smartest phone I've used. Tasks are so easy, my phone almost organises itself.
And that little curve is awesome for back navigation in a case.
2:24 where'd you get that wallpaper?
Got a 7pro for 519$ yesterday :)
I absolutely love your videos. There are only a few tech channels which I love to look upto for daily tech updates and you are one of them. Would love to see more videos from you.
That’s very much appreciated! Thank you!
5:46 closer to mid ranger? Tensor G2 scores ~1400/3800 on Geekbench 6, which is in between SD 888, 8 Gen 1 and 8+ Gen 1, and in some cases renders files even faster than those mentioned chips, only downside is efficiency, thanks to Samsung nm node tech.
I think this is a sign of midrange chips becoming too good rather than Tensor G2 not being good enough...the latest SD 7+ Gen 2 scored 1416/4117 on Geekbench 5, but that is the best of the best of the midrange so I'd say it still is a bit unfair to flat out say Tensor G2 is midrange
@@jerrywu615 So true, midrange is plenty powerful to todays standard, no one even able to use all raw power of CPUs inside phones. With that said, G2 is plenty, even if it scores less than lets say SD 8+ Gen 1, it still managed to so certains things faster, like rendering. Efficiency is different story.
Waiting to see what the Pixel 8 Pro will bring to the table ❄ 🥔
You had me at, The lady on the plane with her 3xl. Because that's what I'm watching this review on.
I bought this new in 2020, and it works perfectly, is flawless cosmetically and still gives me about 5 hours screen on time.
I think my biggest complaint is the speakers on the newer models. Front facing stereo speakers is my most favorite feature on a phone. And for Pixel to move the bottom speaker to the bottom,,,SUCKS! 😢. Please Google, bring um back 🙏.
Anyway, the 7pro looks like a winner, but! I am not thrilled with that gigantic camera bump? No, ramp. But I guess with a good case, it'll level out. I also think id rather have a rear finger print sensor. But never had one in screen, so who knows. All in all once I can find one new for around 400, 500, I will probably take a shot. I'm stuck at android 12 now, but still has really good features.
And yes, that's what makes you reviewers like phone millionaires, there's nothing to having the best at your fingertips. Good review, thanks 👍
They just need a snapdragon soc.
Lmao NO
Maybe I'm in the minority here... but I actually don't ever want to see something like a Pixel Ultra. I don't even want a Pixel Pro. I want a small Pixel and a Pixel XL that are both super awesome and have exactly the same specs. Because people should not ever be penalized for wanting a smaller phone.
Could you do a comparison between the 6 Pro and 7 Pro?
I find both spec quite similar, but I heard 6 Pro has a lot of bugs, so what is your expert opinion?
They should make the “Google Pixel 8 Super” that would be cooler than using the name Ultra like all the others, they should be different
I absolutely adore my Pixel 6 & 7 pro!!!!!! I can't wait to get my son & I the 8 pro not cus these aren't amazing it's just how much I truly appreciate all the Google is doing. Also the only thing my son enjoys is his phone he has special needs we try to get him a new one each year for Xmas & he's already seen the new 8 😊 Google has made things so easy for us
I have had the 7 pro since release day the only thing I'm disappointed about is the video, why is the noise always around the outside of the video that you take, I was actually relieved to see it in your video, but highly recommend the phone
TH-camrs have over hyped the Pixel 7 pro. These are the reasons I returned mine after using it: call quality is not clear, the phone gets uncomfortably hot to the touch when using youtube, web browsing, and recording with camera, the camera over processes dark colors making them look darker, battery is terrible and charges to slow, some app would freeze and end up crashing, some bugs on the interface not working properly.
Agreed. Most of these "reviewers" are just being paid to say what they say
I've had the pixel 6 pro for a year and a half now and never had any problems with it. Just because the phone didn't work out for you doesn't mean everyone is lying about it.
@@Coco1477 just because you're a light user and don't notice all the problems your device has, it doesn't mean you're right...
Phone part needs some work. Reception could be better.
@@MarkkG and just because you are a power user, doesn't mean that it isn't a great phone for many people. The comments on this video are proof... No?
Zach is the only person I have seen who prefers and is more used to the power button placement on the pixel
Really appreciate your .. reviews I'm still enjoying my pixel 6 pro seems like it's getting better for me... But I'll be waiting for the pixel 8 pro...
Great phone. Battery life could be better. Lackluster experience. Simple but it gets the job done. Definitely a phone for the business minded individual. Slow, Slow battery charging. It takes over an hour. My OnePlus 11 charges in 13 minutes, and that's a huge game changer.
Early on in the video you shown the viewfinder on the camera with the blinds. is what you seen in the viewfinder accurate to when you get once the picture has been taken thanks
I’m looking for a USB-C splitter for my Pixel 7 Pro that can connect to its USB-C port. The splitter should have two female USB-C ports: one ffor connecting USB-C Apple EarPods to make phone calls, and the other for charging the phone and supporting data transfer. This data transfer should enable USB debugging mode, allowing me to use the mirroring application, scrcpy. I’ve noticed that most productss on Amazon only supportt data transfer on the port that supports audio, but not on the charging port. Can you recommend a product that meets these requirements?
Oneplus 11 is a much better phone... I had the Pixel 7 pro and sent it back after a week. it was just not a good quality phone especially the screen! The screen felt and sounded like plastic. it was so loud and sounded hollow when typing on it. The charging was slow compared to others and after getting the Oneplus after having the Pixel it was night and day difference in quality. Oneplus 11 is premium and just feels so much better build quality.
I have both! 1+11 and the pixel 7 Pro... bought them 1 after the other in the same week! I find the Oneplus to be doing a flawless job - bugfree! while the Pixel 7 Pro is unofficial in India, 5G does not show up with the same sim I get to work on the 1+... 5G is enabled in the pixel, but having a hard time. Stuck with LTE
Great review! Been looking at getting the P7P.
Wanted to buy P7P, but found out that 5G is not supported in half of the world on this phone.
Pixel still has a ways to go. I bought many pixel over time I wind up not using it as long as I want to. I have been using Samsung phones for a long time now and I wanted the pixel to be my main phones. But the pixel line up has fail to do that. I owned every pixel since the pixel 2xl and try to switch over every chance but I wind up going back to the Samsung phones I had. Till this day the pixel 7 pro has not change my preferences and I wind up going back to my s22 ultra and now my s23 ultra. Some of the most basic stuff, to me, are better on the Samsung phones. One UI, the screen (more solid feel), better optimization, cellular modem and better battery are just better on Samsung. Also the charging speed is a joke on this phone. Maximum charge is a 22 watt charger and it still takes almost 2 hours. That's not fast charging. My old Samsung phones charged faster than that. Pixel still needs work and Google needs to fix what important. The only thing Pixel has an advantage over any phone now is still pictures and voice to text.
Using 7 pro. My one and only complaint is its speaker. I switched from s20+ to this. And I feel like the s20+'s speaker is louder and better. Other than this, this phone is steeeel.
Just got my pixel 7 pro as a second device with my 15 pro max and i cant be happier
I'm getting mine just today, any regrets or experience you have had since 3 months ago? thanks.
@@nmrlab3807 hey
After 3 months I learned that this device is not a flagship, so don’t expect great thermal performance.
The battery is below just average.
The device excels in photos.
I don’t advice you to do gaming because it gets overheated easily
Exynos (Tensor) will hold Pixel back, it's not capable of handling games and or data, the chip is overwhelmed and gets hot and crashes...until google dump that chip, they won't win.
Stay away from this crappy phone.one month I have this phone and problems are:always hot,bad battery,you must look manually network in roaming, because it cannot pick it automatically, widget problems, Google photos problem, Deezer problems , Glitches on every step.awful phone
I used the google pixel 2 until a few weeks ago. Went with the iPhone 14promax. It’s ok. The main reason why I went iPhone is my work phone is an iPhone and I can’t email my scanned paperwork because I can’t use my own email address and was never and probably will never get a company email. I airdrop the scanned items to my phone and it works great. I do not like the typing on the iPhone, pixel is better. Siri sucks balls. I don’t do any social media.
Just needs a better chipset and more RAM
Google is switching to all in house silicone on the pixel 8 I think
The notch does not bother.. however , thick bezels and even thicker chins along with curved display.. man WHY ? Its just bad , period. yes cameras are top, but unfortunately this is all going for them , and i for one look at the package as a whole , if i want jsut camera there are dslr's ... For now pixel is a no go until it looks pleasing to me. Yes i am ios user , and yes im locked by watches and macbooks and stuff ,but as soon as pixels fix what i said i hate about them .. i will definitely try google with serious intentions , but that will happen only with a Pixel phone and not before what i said happens.
Wish they had more color option. That grey glossy color looks disgusting, the white one looks ok...but wish we had orange, purple, green, matte black maybe.
I own pixel 7 pro for 4-5 weeks now, so still fresh. Also, how it fits hand is really important to me, so I've purchased "carbon" case (cuz I'm not convinced it's real carbon), but man, it changes the game completely
How is the battery life?
@@RakibKhan-bu4vo doing really well in my case. One day, without any problem...
@@ilijaireland333 I am gonna buy it tomorrow. Is it a bad decision?
@@ilijaireland333 should I consider it buying?
How old was the lady you asked about the nosh?
Lol she was in her 30s
How is it compared to oneplus 11 im thinking of switching.
I always dreamed a pixel phone.Bought pixel pro 7 at last.But typing is very buggy, battery life so so.A little bit frustrated.
I appreciate that your videos are unique when compared to other phone reviews. Great job
Thank you!
I got it and sold in a month! All good except the design it hurts my hand ...its useless piece of tech and tried pubg which performed worse than one plus
-Pixel 5 user
Anyone like the new one plus 11? If so why , please positive and negatives, thanks, looking good, good reviews 😊
Goodluck zachary anderson channel, regards #THISA TV CHANNEL❤
I’ve been a happy iPhone user since the 4S, but I’m being tempted by the Pixel 7 Pro and S23 Ultra… I love the look and overall experience of pure android that you get with the Pixels, but the S23 Ultra’s superior screen is very attractive. Not sure what I’ll do…
Don't. Samsung software experience is trash
Get a pixel not Samsung. I had the S23 for a week and it’s not pure android at all and not as stable. Pixel is pure android basically the iPhone of android
I have a pixel and an iPhone. The pixel is a dream to use and feels less restrictive than the iphone . Everything on the pixel is much easier to use
@@marksouthwell4490 I agree with this but they need to improve the battery on pixel
The video of the game really surprised me! Especially when you showed up how far back you were!
Yeah I was really impressed!
Potato 🥔 gang
🥔🥔🥔🥔
Sixel Pixes has a ring to it. 🤷🏿♂️
Specs today are only making marginal changes, very often not justifying the price difference. So the true value today is given by software, and in therms of innovation, Pixel is currently King in my opinion.
I love my google pixel 7 pro
Easily one of the video intro champions
In display fingerprint scanners are stupid
Selfie camera is worst with over sharpness
Love your vids man, keep it up. Just hoping u upload more often
Your comment got me: Which phone ever made is perfect?None
so many brothers having issues with pixel, this is my new main phone then
i love google phone but the latest looks of the phone is the worst.
I like my displays how I like my women: curvy
Your reviews are excellent as usual. I really enjoy them. Keep up the great work my brother.
I wish Samsung would stop and figure out what's up with their foundry. They need work. I'm sure when they hit it, they will HIT it. Until then. I stay away from expectations of non heat. I still want a pixel 7ro or even 6pro. But, the video needs work. The one thing that pixel has is TRUE optimization. 😊
What's your phone setting to get 9 hours of SoT? My SoT is only about 5 hours
No setting. Just very light use. I average 7hrs normally.
I've had the P7P for about three weeks now, first time user of a Google phone. Pretty smooth, feels premium but there are some things I'm not a fan of. Speakers aren't loud, wish I didn't have to use Nova launcher for better customization. Battery charges slow as well. Still a good phone. Currently, still use my iPhone 14 Pro and S23U more at the moment. Nice review, new sub!
It seems you like smartphones a lot 😅 you own the 3 best ones out there
@@alverofelipe lol… just a little bit huh?
Curved screen? Nah bro can't do it.
I know the Google Pixel 7 Pro has 128 GB storage but how much of the storage is used up by the phone’s “system” right out of the box? How much storage will I actually have for my pic, vids, apps, etc, Thanks
Out of the box I believe it’s in the ballpark range of around 20GB or so taken up by the system.
@@ZachAnderson Thank you for your quick response to my question. Great review vid!
@@ZachAndersonI bought the P7P and it has exceeded my expectations! The performance and functionality are excellent and the camera is AMAZING! Thanks for the review it helped me to decide what phone to buy. I ended up buying the 256 GB and the “system” right out of the box used 15 GB, not bad, Thanks again.
