$540 is the current trade-in value for the Pixel 7 Pro if you're looking to upgrade to a Google Pixel 9 Pro. I think you won't be disappoint if you upgrade. There are enough improvements even after just two years to make it enjoyable, and I think it sets you up nicely for what Google has planned for the future.

Even though the P7P is only two years old, I think you'll notice enough difference to make it worth it.

I agree, yet if my pixel 7pro is in good condition I’d keep it until the 10 only cus I’d want to maximize the support on the 10 or up. No need in my humble opinion to upgrade. My 7pro is in mint condition she’s still doing good in battery life on WiFi 😂 I barely leave WiFi so I’m good. Also I think pixel displays are amazing i personally like them better the Samsung.

My issues with the 7 Pro is the screen is too dim for outdoor use, the finger print sensor sucksand the modem isnt the best

@craigbailey9487 Ай бұрын

Is it enough of an upgrade for the Pixel 9 as well or just the Pro and Pro XL?

@JustDokiME Ай бұрын

if you want to trade in the 6a it would be 225 of that 799 price tag. Not sure if that estimate value will keep up when the Pixel 9 goes on sale

design on P7P is much bether. love the curved display and sharp corners

No, I'm not upgrading my P7P to the Pixel 9. Great news they actually switched to ultrasonic fingerprint, new modem and a super brilliant fantastic omg display, but let's talk about facts, Tensor G4 is still Exynos-based and it's still limited by its weak raw performance and overall support in terms of drivers optimization, raw performance is just the same as last year G3, which still wasn't a huge jump compared to Tensor G2 and it can't even match up to a 2 years old Snapdragon 8 gen 1, I've checked some camera samples from the P9 and to be honest I don't see any revolution in terms of camera quality, my P7P is not giving me issues in terms of battery life, in terms of user experience and fastness, my fingerprint sensor works great, no network issuee, so I don't have any real motivation to say I need to upgrade. I usually change my phone every 2 years, but this time around I really feel like I don't need any upgrade compared to what the new model offers. As far as the Tensor G4 could be more efficient and support more AI features, it's still too behind the competitors (not even mentioning Apple), and I honestly wouldn't want a phone struggling to run latest games at high graphics, lagging while running heavy apps or multimedia editing, that's why I'll be waiting for Pixel 10 which supposedly will run the first TSMC based tensor and UFS 4.0 memories which could take performance to another level. THAT would be an actual jump, not just a brighter display, a new fingerprint sensor and a couple random more AI features, which don't get me wrong, it's actually a decent improvement if you're joining the Pixel experience for the first time, but since I already have a Pixel, I'd like to see something more. Let's see what Android 15 will bring to the 7P, then I'll see google again next year maybe.

I've had the standard Pixel 7 since launch and I'm planning to upgrade next year to the Pixel 10 Pro XL.

@dennisweggeman3751 Ай бұрын

First of all, I loved my Pixel 7, I came from a Galaxy S10e, which was in my opinion awesome, so the switch to a "bigger" standard Pixel 7 was a big step at first. I usually switch phones every 2 years and I'm paying only € 1,5 more for the Pixel 9 right now compared to the Pixel 7 I had. I always give my "old" phones to my dad as they are usually still looking brand new and still function well. I've used the Pixel 9 only two days so far so it has not seen intensive use yet, but honestly I am amazed by how the Pixel 7 held up and is still doing very well compared to the Pixel 9. My dad will still get great use out of the Pixel 7. So far I did notice the Pixel 7 getting way hotter then the 9, other then that, I don't feel like I needed the upgrade. The camera on the standard Pixel 7 was, in my opinion, very good. I wouldn't go Pro, although I like it is the same size right now, because I think the camera is great on the standard model already. Honestly, if you can afford a Pixel 9 and want newer hardware, go for it, if you want a great phone and camera and are in the market for a Pixel but are more on a budget or just don't care to have a newer model get a Pixel 7, or 8. Either way, great choice in my opinion.

Nice video, thanks. I always get the two year itch with phones, even though I wanted to wait for the 10 I just couldn't make myself do it. Plus, in my head I thought that the 10 might just have a few niggles with such a big change so I be able to wait until the 11 for my next upgrade after the 9 Pro. Glad to see Google releasing a smaller Pro phone, which I have pre-ordered. I loved my Pixel 5 which my wife has now. I got an estimated £278 for the Pixel 5 including the bonus so I'm happy with that and my wife gets the 7 Pro. £100 off the Watch 3 45mm so went for that one t0o as my original watch is also 2 years old. Would have loved a free watch but I'm happy with the discount as they are great devices.

@Crosmyn Ай бұрын

I'm considering the P7 Pro to P9 Pro move. Even though I'm content with the P7. The main two points that have me contemplating the upgrade are the smaller size with a full set of cameras and a stronger than expected trade in offer. I'm hoping the initial round of reviews come out before some of the offers expire.

I would recommend you to wait. Wait for the Pixel 10 with the in-house processor. Except for the display brightness and the fingerprint sensor, there are no differences between the devices

I have the pixel 7 regular and its okay but I do run into the modem/bluetooth connectivity problem from time to time but I agree the screen brightness is just bad and heats up pretty quickly. I'm waiting for them to do the promotional period to drop the price on pixel 9 pro before pulling the trigger because that's where I made the mistake with the pixel 7 and got it on pre-order. Felt like a clown paying full price when they marked it down a few months after 🤡

@MrHeHim Ай бұрын

Going from a 7 Pro to 9 Pro XL with T-Mobile, $500 trade in credit over 24 months and -$200 discount on the 512GB model. Paying $500 in the end Only drawback is a marginally lower resolution/pixel density. But if the larger pixels get me a much brighter screen and prevent burn in more, great. Although I haven't noticed even the slightest hint at burn-in on the 7 Pro. I do have a bone to pick with Google and in general their software overall, but that's more of a systematic failure from the top down over at Google 😅

@thetruthstand Ай бұрын

I don't know Steve. Google has really shaken my confidence. I had to do a factory reset on my pixel 8 pro today because the Android system wouldn't load. This is the fourth time I've had to deal with this three times with the pixel fold and on my pixel 8 pro. I'm not sure what their problem is but now I'm worried. What's so frustrating is that I love using their products, but I hate dealing with their maddening inconsistencies and incompetence.

Not worth it! my p7p still super solid, didn't have battery issues, and sincerely unless you play the most graphics intensive games you won't feel slightly subpar. all the mentioned upgrades don't feel like something that i might find enough for many hundreds of euros/dollars investment, feels more like a barely one generation small upgrade. unless your phone is damage in my books wait for at least one more generation

@madmann6723 Ай бұрын

I pre-ordered the regular 9 Pro. I think when all the dust settles, this will possibly be selling Pixel to date. It's a lot of small updates that add up. 10% or better overall CPU/GPU improvement, vapor chamber, new modem, 33% ram increase, new selfie camera, upgraded charging speeds, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, updated design language. Taking all that into consideration, it's not insignificant.

i have the pixel 8 pro. Battery life is ok ish after some tweaking. phone got hot and lost connection few times,i did trade in the 8 pro for another 8pro, changed some settings and the battery is fine and the phone is not getting hot anymore. i only bought it for the camera and the clean google software. samsung UI is bad and iphone 15 pro is way to expensive nowadays. so if you are on a budget and not a power user then buy the 8pro for half of the iphone 15 pro price

I’m so glad you’re doing this video. More reviewers need to stop getting rid of their previous year or two phones so early because the viewers are keeping their phones a lot longer with all these updates. Would anyone throw away a perfectly workable phone?

People should keep their phone at least 4 years before updating. It’s not a toy but a tool. You just have to use your device correctly and replace the battery when you need.

@iAfroTech Ай бұрын

@@redstang70 i don’t think it’s crazy. You should inform yourself about world sales. Every year, sales are decreasing because people keep their phone longer. Brands are giving long term support to customers so there is no logic reason to change a phone after one or two year. 4 years is perfect to observe real technical improvements. I own a 13 Pro and i absolutely don’t need a new phone: Alpine Green color, 86% of battery health, 120hz adaptative screen. I use double/triple back tap, shortcuts and automization with a menu, and ChatGPT. I use my phone at max before replacing it. Apple is not totally ready to share Apple Intelligence in every country, outside of USA. They don’t have a proper calendar. An iPhone 16 Pro would be useless for me. If you use Google Photos, you have Google AI too

Steve, have you seen this vid? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iabGqIdubdVjpbssi=Glbk7bS_l3P51Afq I think the Tensor G4 & Pixel 9 Pro XL as a whole represent a better performance package than the average user thinks. I would absolutely take the screen of the P9P XL over the S24U. Google has really prioritized maintaining screen brightness & vividness during use. Google might actually be there to win in the premium phone territory.

@Awf00L Ай бұрын

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnukloVpbqdsbKMsi=oydrcwKzGWE9z7Vv The same identical test has been done with the Tensor G2 providing similar results, Tensors apparently work better in sustained performance in stress tests, but nobody actually considered the Tensor G2 the new king of performance. That's also due to the fact that stress testing sustained performance is kinda useless to define the actual performance in average everyday use, especially considering how Android actually manages lifecycle hooks and activities. As far as modern smartphones are capable gaming machines, they're still phones and not portable consoles, it's very unlikely that you keep a game running for hours without switching to other apps or doing anything else for all the time. So long story short, it's nice but not enough to say it does better than more performant SoCs unfortunately.

@bricequirl Ай бұрын

@@Awf00L Huh 🤔, I don't see the results of the test w/ the P7P & TG2 anywhere the same as the results w/ the P9P XL & TG4. The P7P & TG2 performance wasn't even adequate & was the poorest. The P9P XL & TG4 excelled through the test & was the best. Viewing both videos only demonstrates to me the substantial improvements Google has made from the TG2 to the TG4.
