Love my 7 Pro. I'm surprised Google took $345 for my 4a 5G. And there was a $150 off of the Pro when I got it, so I cannot complain about the price.

@@balkis8457 If I start the morning with 100% I usually get to 20 by 6pm, but if I dont use it that much it can last all day. I have noticed that the battery takes a big hit from video calls. The strange thing is that overnight it loses about 10-15% which isn't great but it could be the 5G (it is not a big deal since overnight it uses adaptive charging). Note that I have 5G all the time and I am never connected to wifi (since here in Italy with just 10 euros I have 200bg).

What's the battery like ? 7/8 hours sot ? Will it last from 7 am till 12am ?

[@michaeldendulk2230]

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.

Great review😊

[@eweteweber]

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.

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.

[@Pimpame]

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

[@michaeldendulk2230]

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.

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.

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.

Pixel 7 is trash, dont buy this phone. Buy iPhone instead. Pixel has hell lot of issues. 1. Slippery body, made couple of dents on aluminium camera bump. 2. Too hot!! Metal easily gets warm, hence we cannot hold the phone in our hands for more than 10 mins, especieally when using camera, video calls or gaming. 3. In-screen finger print sensor, Placing thumb below the phone is difficult, I prefer side or backside sensor. Moreover if you install screen protector, then you cant use fingerprint sensor. 4. Bad quality daytime camera. You see darkened faces, because pixel tries to show it realistic. Obviously people prefer brighter photos taken with iPhone. 5. Battery life: 6-7 hours battery life, because phone uses lot of software optimizations on their experimental tensor g2 processor, which generates lot of heat and consumes so much power. Please stay away from this phone, buy iPhone or Nothing phone or samsung galaxy ultra

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.

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.

[@zilong9255]

Is it still worth getting the pixel 6 for $320 brand new? (my budget is $350 max😮)

[@anifowosehabeeb4716]

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.

[@ducapelli]

Go for a 6a! A nice small size smartphone. I own one and I have zero complains.

[@eg8049]

6 i have heard overheats. Go for 7

[@terryweber5369]

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.

was excited to get a new pixel 7 but they only take $350 for my iphone 14

[@RieklinRideR]

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

[@Phloored]

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

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.

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.

[@kubdarienjoyer4798]

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

[@frankihatch]

yes its worth it

[@lite6384]

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.
