Pixel 7 Pro vs Pixel 7 WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY! Buyers Guide

[@j1y0ni]

I got the Pixel 7 in white. Love it. Coming from the iPhone 12 pro. Believe me the Pixel 7 is incredible. Been using iPhones since 2013. This is my first Android phone since I had a Samsung Galaxy S4. The reception is so much better than my old iPhone. Which constantly dropped out. The Pixel 7 hasn't done this once. I got the Pixel watch as well.

Definitely the standard 7 for me. I'm not much into photography plus I prefer the size and flat display of the 7 over the curved display of the 7 Pro. I'll be upgrading from the 2XL after 5 years of ownership. Been the BEST phone I've ever owned. Can't wait for my new 7!

[@ajayg9077]

wow dude same here, i got pixel 2xl now upgraded to pixel 7 lemon green. My pixel 2 xl still is a beast, no lag, when i upgraded to android 11, there was some app issues, but after a while it was fixed, still i use pixel 2xl, it's soo smooth with snapdragon 835 till date, only reason im upgrading to pixel 7 is due to lack of updates on pixel 2xl as back in the days we got only 3 years of security updates

[@shanec8380]

Are you me? I'm coming from a 2XL as well and just swapped to a P7. That 2XL has been the absolute best phone I have ever had but after 5 years of service it is just now starting to show signs of wear (loose charger port, screen burn-in). That 2XL had zero bloatware and is still as fast as the day I started using it. I remember when the P6 came out I was SERIOUSLY considering swapping but the 2XL did EVERYTHING I needed it to do so I stuck it out 1 more year and boy I am glad I did! After using the 2XL for so long I had the habit of using the "back" button on the lower left of the screen. I just couldn't get used to the "gestures" on the P7 so here is how I got my 3-buttons back: Go to "Settings", "Accessibility", "System Controls", "System Navigation" then select "3-button navigation". Had to get used to the fingerprint scanner on the front instead of the back of the phone but I'll get used to it eventually.

As someone who actually likes taking pictures especially with the Pixel (3, 5 and 7 Pro)...I must say that MOST people will be happy with the Pixel 7. I have the 7 Pro and so far...I haven't found myself need it in the majority of my time outdoors and picture wise. One thing I might advise is that people put a bit more effort into framing their subject and not just snapping away. I am by no means an expert but damn...the little efforts can pay huge in result. One place that google tends to shine especially for me are background with the sun glaring especially behind the subject and light photography. These two have been especially rock solid and even when the screen doesn't show it, the results are simply amazing.

[@ghostinthewires7006]

This is actually a handy advice. I've wanted to upgrade my legacy smartphone to a flagman-like model and now considering to buy 7/7pro pixel.

[@gcoffline]

@@danyalhussain8283 I got it as MSRP unfortunately as it was before any sales, but I traded in my old XR for about $400 credit, so really only came out paying about $400 myself. Adjusting wasn't as hard as I initially thought it'd be, but the biggest hurdle is not having certain stuff immediately available (Apple Card stuff and anything in iCloud including my photos). I'm overall INCREDIBLY happy. I wont definitively say I'm done with iPhones, but I might keep android for a while. The BIGGEST downside for me is the camera. The 7 pro's camera is good, but if you zoom in Snapchat or even in the camera app, it's not near as smooth as iPhone. In fact, I avoid zooming all together on snapchat for that reason because it jumps from like 1x to 5x and it's super choppy. I wanted to say it was Snapchat's optimization, but because it's sorta there in the camera app too I'm not so sure.

I was struggling with whether the Pixel 7 or 7 pro was the best choice but when Verizon swung me a deal where the 7 pro will be $450 over three years of monthly payments, there was no doubt the 7 pro was my immediate choice. And I will never regret it because of the incredible 12g memory and the larger screen. An iPhone that would meet those specs would cost at least $1200.

[@everythingsfinett3903]

What have you done, you could have bought pixel 7 for like 500 USD. But you had to chose the monthly payments which no doubt will cost you more than 450. Not to mention the possibility of breaking your phone in 3 years. Just when you finish paying you’ll switch to another phone

[@Jolz0]

how does monthly payment cost you more? you pay monthly, no extra fees besides the 60 dollar activation fee which most of the time they waive, and if you're thinking about the data plans then you have to pay it either way. also even if you break it, it still saves money even if you have to keep paying it.

[@NOLATechy]

The main reasons to get the Pixel 7 Pro would be: 1) The additional RAM for better "app running in the background" management. Not that the Pixel 7 can't handle what you throw at it, but the additional 4GBs RAM really ensure you don't lose your game if you have too many apps open in the background. 2) The 4K screen. If you have KZbin Premium or any other video app and want to watch 4K videos on your phone, then you would need the Pixel 7 Pro's 4K screen as you would not be able to watch 4K content on the 1080p screen of the Pixel 7. This is also another thought, if you record 4K video and want to play it back on your phone to view it, you could only view it in 1080 as It would be downgraded to 1080p for your screen. They are both excellent devices, but I went with the Pixel 7 Pro myself. I think the speakers sound a little louder, clearer and have more base as well. Also, when you add up the cost for all the additional items on the Pixel 7 Pro, you can further understand and appreciate the $300 difference. Great video! I really appreciate how you clarified all the differences between the two devices. Thanks!

I had a Samsung s20 before so I am coming from 120hz, I barely notice the difference between 90hz and 120hz. The Pixel 7 is 1080p which is plenty sharp considering it is only 6.4 inches big.

Watch a few comparisons because in trying to decide between this 2 and this is the best video I found to help me decide. I like the straightforwardness friend. Suscribed!

[@michaelc318]

Thanks for the info I've got my Google pixel 7 coming to day so at least I know I've picked the right one 😀

[@emmanuelgboyegasorunke1138]

Finally! Someone who is direct and detailed, thank you for helping me make a decision.

[@GosWardHen98]

Interesting take on these Pixals. I switched from a Samsung S21-5G & it took a while to get used to in customization. Generally I like it, bought it outright & put a protective skin onnthe reverse to protect the back & camera bar from scratches. I find the battery charge is good & I charge at different intervals, not always down to 10% & it still performs well. I chose the Lemongrass colour & since May '23 its been fine. Like all gadgets like this, get a decent bumper case & screen cover.

[@1947froggy]

Did they fix the crappy finger print unlock? Yes I know it has face unlock, but who knows if it's any good? Sick of my 6a telling me it does not recognize my prints. Ugh.

[@glshim13]

Then the Mint Mobile deal for the Pixel 7 Pro for $589 is a no brainer. It's unlocked and also comes with 1 year of 4GB data plan. Perfect for secondary device.

[@KlimMandingo]

Preordered the 7 pro and then cancelled it after I kept hearing how massive it is. Need a phone that can fit in my pocket and the 7 will do just fine.

[@MarksTech]

You’ll love the 7! It’s THE perfect one handed phone. It’s even more comfy than the iPhone 14 Pro 6.1” because it’s more narrow

[@KlimMandingo]

@@MarksTech Awesome to hear! I went back on forth on which phone to ultimately get. Glad to hear the 7 isn't that far off from the pro.

[@asiimwemuhabuzimuhoozi3422]

I genuinely enjoyed your straight to the point, no bullshit review. I've been debating on which one to buy and I believe this view has given me the right choice. Thank you

[@alternatereality7713]

Thank you for the lowdown on Pixel 7 series. After having issues with my iPhone 7 couple years back I switched to Pixel 3 which has been great for my use. Sure, I've missed being able to use Facetime and iMessage but besides that I was all in Google ecosystem, photos and all. I also got a Sony Xperia 1 mk3 uberphone which which was supposed to be an answer to all my wants but at the end it was just too much of the phone for not enough benefit. So I did try Pixel 6 last year which I did find good but physically too close to my Sony. I missed the smaller size of Pixel 3/iphone 7 so I got iPhone 12 mini which I am currently using. Would I consider another Pixel? For sure if there was a "mini" option. Pixel 8 Pro Mini is what I am hoping for next year as this time Pixels are still stuck in "phablet" mode. Again, glad to see/hear that Google is keeping up with Pixel.

[@pttthhh]

The 6a is a good mini option, it's quite narrow. The 7 is only slightly larger..

[@davehooper5115]

Great video man, I've been humming and erring over which phone to get for ages now and I think you have sold the normal 7 to me, 300 dollars more Is a heck of a lot of money for not that much extra. Thanks dude

[@francisu3572]

Thank for cutting to the chase. You've got a new subscriber now for that reason alone (haven't even finished the video yet!)

[@karenkuang3471]

Wonderful video Mark! Just wondering if you put both phones on the table...do they stay flat or is there a camera bump on the back? Thanks!

[@MarksTech]

There is a camera bump but it doesn’t wobble :)

[@karenkuang3471]

@@MarksTech Thanks for the information! It's exactly what I wanted to know!

[@itschennnn5744]

Great video Actually HELPED 👍

[@LaughOutLouie88]

The 7 is a hell of a deal right now at $350 from Best Buy and the 7 Pro at $600. Really can't beat that value at all. I got mine for $450 at Best Buy around December 2022.

[@mrkojak-ci1zm]

Getting ready to buy. Thanks for the clarity. I don't go anywhere near using a phone to it's limit. Getting the 7 and saving the money 💰

[@timebombII]

I was so nervous when buying the Pixel 7 cuz of seeing all the overheating issues on the 6/6Pro. But Google's preorder deal is too sweet to pass on so I bit the bullet. Now after using it for two straight days, I am happy to report that I did not see any overheat throttling issues (based on my use case anyways, mostly KZbin and light gaming/photography. some wifi hotspot share)

[@ibbyk18]

Hows the camera quality for the pixel 7?

[@timebombII]

@@ibbyk18 top notch. I was able to take some amazing shots with it. It’s probably one of the biggest plus for me

[@TheMrAlexGeorge]

The most important thing for me is swiping the side of the phone to go back, on the 7 the glass is sharper and less round so didn't feel nice doing it, the 7 pro has rounder edges so much smoother to go back. All the software and hardware differences are fine to talk about but this one action that I do probably 100 times a day meant that it was the pro for me even if the standard 7 would probably be a better size and spec for me.

[@rocroc]

I have a 7 I'm testing to decide whether I want the 7 pro or the 7. As far as screen movement, it just takes a small finger movement to move the 7 screen right to left. I don't even touch the edge of the phone. There is also a one hand setting I haven't used that should make it even easier. The overall gestures used on the phone do not compare to the Moto gestures, That is something I really miss. The other thing that I really, really don't like is the position of the search bar icon frozen at the bottom of the screen. I prefer it at the top but it doesn't fit the Google business plan. Also, I prefer either a black or white color for that search bar and I don't like the colors available for each. There are other options available but I don't like those either. They have also frozen the weather and date/time button on the top left of the screen which to me is a disaster. It makes the whole top unavailable to other applications except a video play area on the right. I have a transparent weather app I would like to use but cant. The one other feature I dislike is the night lite. I use the night lite to curb the brightness of the white colors. On the 7 I have you simply can't get a proper adjustment; it is too yellow. One other feature that is helpful is the ability to adjust the size of the icons. I use a display setting that uses five icons across. By slightly resizing the icons it also reduces the size of the search bar and that gives the whole screen a better look. There are also some features not mentioned here that may have originally been developed by Moto. One is a quick menu app that makes it easier to handle things like turning the unit off and on, adjusting screen brightness and sound, etc. That would be the first item I would turn on. I don't particularly like to press any mechanical buttons if I don't have to. It makes the phone much easier to use.

[@motioninmind6015]

So it comes down to the price? Every feature you mention makes me happy I got the pro, at a high discount from O2. Ppl who don't understand the value of optical zoom probably aren't very serious about photography to begin with. Not to mention the much better macro function.

[@crad5476]

Its somewhat a hard choice, but I go for the Pixel 7. I dont need 30hz more, I dont use it so much that it would run out of battery, and for photography, I would use my reflex camera, which does much better photos either way.

[@johndrocky4377]

Looking forward to the Pixel videos!! Have a good weekend Mark!! 📱✊📱❤️❤️

[@bchonba1]

You da man. You nailed the points I used to go for the Pixel 7 a couple weeks ago. So far, no issues have been encountered, and I liked it very much. Thank you !

[@mattsaljanin583]

Great video! I subbed I got the 7pro but I'm kinda getting sick of the size just 1 day later lol - I have a 30 day window to exchange I might downgrade Didn't notice a difference between the 90hz and 120hz in the store. Just liked the better camera but I really never zoom

[@MarksTech]

Then I definitely recommend the 7! The 7 pro is just too big lol

[@andrewh8625]

that’s what she said! Lol 😂

Just got the pixel 7 so far is great no complaints at all

[@willowbelise8763]

Sick, thanks for the review dude. Getting the 7.

[@paulshearer9140]

Thanks mate. You may not realise it, you recommend the 7 over the 7 Pro, but you actually made a better argument to buy the 7 Pro? I have just ordered the 7 Pro and am glad I did after watching this?

[@itsmeskeptic]

With all respect. The images you show, are definitely not identical as you say. Just look at the color curve on 2:26 and the colors from the sun. Even on 2:30 there is a HUGE difference on the shadows and brightness. Oh by the way.. im all in on the Pixel :D Only because of the camera. Thanks for the video! Ill go Pro.

[@pathfinderlandsinvestments3385]

[@ancronsharek1735]

I really went with the 7 because of a great price point and love the Lemon Grass color!

[@rhelouin]

Thank you for mentioning the reception. Most reviewers seem to not know that the main function of a phone is communication. I just got a Pixel 7 and with Red Pocket GSMA (at&t) I can not get 5g service or voice over wifi. With a T-mobile sim card it works fine. It must be an AT&T thing. Also, not being able to screen cast to my LG TV is very disappointing.

[@theluckyman74]

How good is the Audio on these phones. Also do you have headphone jack

I have an I Phone 13 pro that I would like to trade in the beginning of December the phone has a pay off but it should be less in December will I be able to purchase the google 7 or 7 pro at a reasonable price?
