Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro full review! | Mark Ellis Reviews

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Come on, then... which one are you going for and why?

[@craigatkinsonstudio]

pro, free watch, 10% student discount(they've stopped that now) and 10% credit back with google one. So, £650 for both combined.

[@CoarseFisher15]

iPhone 14 Pro Max

[@frvrmax]

Pixel 6A for my wife

[@mjowsey]

This week I got a pixel 7 for the bargain price of 609 Australian Dollars! Why? Because I had the pixel 4 and I wanted an update and it's my birthday and you only live once.

[@Imsews]

6a

[@radiohedgefund]

I thought the trip to London was a nice touch. It was great to see it used IRL instead of just some studio benchmarks. Keep up the good work, Mark!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Glad you liked it!

[@redstar40]

Great job. I love your enthusiasm. You can totally tell it's genuine.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thank you! It is!

[@hoss8798]

Dude i couldn't watch your video for very long you kept waving the handsets all over the place so disconcerting

[@flyingpj]

As someone who switched from windows phone to iphone 10 years ago, I think it's time for me to hop onto Android with that Pixel 7! Also loved the London trip with all the photos and video, wonderful way to present them!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Go for it!

[@AkramSays]

No, don't, Although i'm android user since the beginning but I'm currently regretting it, no good phone left, great on paper but usability is insanely faulty, typing this on my pixel 7 and man that phone is really a brick, heat, bad extremely bad front camera, lots of bugs and so on

[@MarkEllisReviews]

@@AkramSays I think you have a faulty device. Have a chat with Google.

[@AkramSays]

@@MarkEllisReviews Thanks for replying, I'm happy you're satisfied with your pixel, but maybe you saw my other comments pointing on the videos taken by your phone both front and back camera are producing a really low quality, it shocked me TBH, as it was the main reason I bought it, only good thing is the main camera for still photography, but IMO that is not worth getting it

[@nikhilbhatia308]

Good review but stop shaking the goddamn phones in your hand so violently! I'm trying to get a good look at them here.

[@diannaolnhausen6194]

Excellent review!

[@nataliesaxon3175]

Wow, 1st review I could pay attention to all the way through and even enjoyed 😍 it's helped me decide to go for the 7 😊 ❤ thank you

[@TheB1nary]

Probably going to keep my 6 Pro this year - but the 7 series are looking good!!

[@kona328WH]

Great review. Put many of the established youtubers to shame. I have the 6 Pro and very happy with it especially after the updates. Going to grab the reg 7 for the wife. Some great contact deals out there in the UK thanks to trade in bonus and TCB cashback and earphones!

[@ridingwithsam]

I'm actually sending back my 7 Pro to swap for the 7. It's just a little too tall and awkward to use.

[@marksouthwell4490]

I'm a pixel 6 owner. I took a look at the pixel 7 in curry's , I did plan on buying it , but quickly changed my mind 🙊 the display on the standard 7 didn't appear as nice as the pixel 6 or 6a parked next to it , seemed a bit washed out to me . Pixel 7 looks too shiny and glossy too, not to my liking. I'm sure it's a good device though. Touch wood my pixel 6 is bug free now !

[@craigatkinsonstudio]

Always wonder why Google phones don't do better, they're excellent

[@mike20pr]

Limited countries where it's sold, limited marketing, and there is always some flaw in every PIxel that makes a lot of reviewers not go all in as with Apple or Samsung (Pixel 2 weak display panels, Pixel 3 ugly tub notch, Pixel 4 poor battery life, Pixel 5 dropped to mid range and vibrating earpiece giving poor sound, Pixel 6 fingerprint scanner, heating, and signal issues). Pixel 7 seems to be the closest to an all around great device and can't wait to get mine tomorrow

[@이소니]

Because release software are buggy and KZbinrs don’t typically do long term reviews

[@soo5985]

Great review! My 7 pro gets here in a few days. Looking forward to it

[@cobra-wo3tg]

I currently have a Pixel 4a. Sadly it will likely be my last Pixel because the new ones are way too big for my liking.

[@marksouthwell4490]

Agreed

[@Bennytek]

How much would you say you used the regular Pixel 7 whilst on your trip to London? It sounds like it did a pretty good job to survive the trip I'm having trouble deciding whether I want to go for the 7 or 7 Pro, but I think the deciding factor for me will potentially the battery haha

[@MarkEllisReviews]

As much as the 7 Pro!

[@Bennytek]

@@MarkEllisReviews Thank you very much!

[@pquirke]

I love the transition into London, brilliant idea. I would love, love, love you to do a video or Medium post about why you stick with iPhones and iOS as your main phones/OS throughout the year, what keeps you there, and what it would take for you to move full-time to a Pixel phone.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it. And that ain't a bad blog idea at all 👍

[@robinmackenziespinks7035]

Pixel 7 is a fantastic device. The 6 was excellent but they've refined every element of the experience. In my view this is the smartest smartphone right now.

[@vinigunner94]

Only tech reviewer that makes you proud to be British lol

[@edzuk]

New here, great review (I'm not into gaming, benchmarks etc so this video suited me perfectly) and you've persuaded me to get the pro! Thanks fella. Now subscribed.

Always wanted to tour London! Thank you for the wonderful video! Almost makes me want to switch, but here in the US it’s a horrible time to sell stock before the mid-term elections! 😆

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thank you! You should definitely pop over!

[@PokerDummyface1024]

These phones are finally on the iPhone 11 level

[@mickymac432]

Good vid man. Every other reviewer seems to keep mentioning it overheating, is this true?

[@chickenandshrimp1338]

Battery still drains overnight while idle by 12 to 20%. Something Google still hasn't addressed.

[@Kesariya_Vilayati]

Photos are always excellent on pixel phone's however video quality is still a disappointment...new cinematic blur is a Joke..still gets warm for basic app navigation

[@GaelyneGasson]

Loved the trip to London! I've always enjoyed Android phones, they just seem to work and usually I don't have questions about why they did certain things, but for anything relating to my voice.... it could be that I'm a Yank living in another country so have a combination accent... but Goggle hardly ever has understood what I've said. Siri on the other hand usually 'gets' me. Especially on the phone or watch, but not as well on the HomePods. If someone asks what type of Android phone to buy I'd likely recommend the Pixel 7. Either of them. They both seem great. Was really impressed with the zoomed in Eye photos from a distance. That was stunning.

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

My pixel 7 pro is only five months old and about a month ago it stopped allowing me to share small video clips. When you have a short video and want to share it in a text you click "share", then you click the text bubble, then you have three options, actual size, create link and share album. I would always select "create link", but for the last month I've been getting a message that says "Can't share, Try again in a few minutes". Well, it's been a month. I went back to T mobile and they couldn't fix it, I've gone to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and they couldn't figure it out either. I was given the option to replace the phone but I don't want a refurbished phone when I feel like mine is still very new and it's just this one glitch.

[@destinedtogame]

Someone knows what's up with r/mechanicalkeyboards

[@Name-so9ns]

cant do actual 50mp photos because there's no option to disable binning to 12mp...until google unlocks that feature (WHY not offer it in the first place???), anyone wanting to shoot detailed raw images should stay away

[@norwegianzound]

Just bought the Pro. Very concerned that some of the Security Pin Numbers won't activate when poked. Then they over respond. Not at all cool. Think it'll be going back very soon unless it settles

[@allansteers8261]

Looking forward to the Pixel v iPhone review. I'm too immersed in the Apple eco system to change but it's all fascinating stuff.

[@josephpepe2607]

Those comparison vids are lame.

[@kevinleyendecker5968]

Mark, I think you do a wonderful job on all of your reviews. I love that you hit the important specs but don't sit there and tell us straight benchmarks that, let's be honest, don't have any meaning to the majority of people since it's 2022 and any major player in the market is putting out a great phone. Have used both Android and iPhone. Currently on iPhone XS Max still and looking to get the base 14. I have to say, if I were to go back to Android, I think I would go Pixel 7. That price point is just too good for what you get. Admittedly, I'm locked into the apple ecosystem for too much money with the phone, watch, and airpods I think. Plus in America, it really is a big deal about messaging people. I have plenty of friends with Android and we use WhatsApp for easy of communication. There are plenty of important contacts that use iMessage, however, and if I were to switch, I know first hand how there experience will be when texting. Rant over. Love your videos and thank you for reading!

[@josephpepe2607]

Also, 99% of people who are going to buy a Pixel or an iPhone don't care about this vs that comparisons, it's pointless, and too many people have done that.

[@teresasawicka5861]

Thank you I still can’t make up my mind hoping to go to Europe next year between I phoned or the pixel I like a sharp picture and nite picture. Take care 🇦🇺

[@cannaboy.420]

My Pixel 7 freezes, is there any way to get it fixed? This is my first ever flagship phone and that's my experience

[@connallykendrick9350]

This is cool because I've almost NEVER used a cell phone's camera zoom. I've been conditioned that quality will be horrible as soon as you do. It's nice to see that it's truly usable these days

[@lucienluyt2729]

Fantastic review as always. This is why it is one of my favourite channels.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thank you 😊

[@AkramSays]

at 5:58 do people really can't see how bad is the front camera quality, it's literally the worst I have ever saw

[@michaelpan2972]

The 7 seems like a sweet spot but with a case I think it will be too big. It would of been better if it was 6.1 inch

[@britishlink1876]

Am I the only 1 that was liking the color on the pixel 7 when the light was touching it at 00:41 sec?

[@atifghafoor6258]

Can someone explain the main improvement from the pixel 6 to the 7

[@smguk2412]

More buggy mess from Google, S23 Ultra will blow this out of the water

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Quite the opposite in my experience.

[@d.lloyd8188]

Great review. Not too long but very informative. I'm gonna get the 7 Pro for me and the Simple 7 for my wife (because she cares not about specs.) Thx again.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Charles-pg6wx]

I've switched back and forth over the years. After picking up a Mac Mini and MacBook Air when the M1 chips came out, I moved back to iPhones when my Pixel 3 XL stopped getting updates. Now I'm also in on the Apple Watch, so pretty locked...but this review almost makes me want to switch back :) Great job, your videos just keep getting better.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Absolutely!

[@fabolousjada5070]

Tbh PIXEL is back I got my pixel 7 for 100 and I got a iPhone pro max .. google software is better tbh too good 👍🏽 it’s the little things

[@troywest7111]

Damn good review Mark. I must admit that your voice is easy to listen to, even with that Cockney accent, just kidding. You gave great insight between the two, without repeating everything over and over. I could have done without the last comment of the 6a, especially when I almost had made a choice between the 7 and pro, gee thanx.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

That’s very kind, Troy - thanks! Cockney accent 😂

[@dadillonful]

[@RaghavHari]

Mark, another great review and very useful! 👏🏻😃 Your style of review, not too technical, just the right amount of info, including right amount of tech stuff is just fantastic.. Uncluttered lingo and sticking to the basics is the best thing about this review. Keep up the great work! 👏🏻😃🥂 Oh BTW - you convinced me for the Pixel 7😅

Can you compare the 8x zoom on pixel 7 vs 8x zoom on pixel 7 pro?

[@TeamMystic851]

Would love to hear your feedback on the one major issue of connectivity that plagued the Pixel 6/6Pro last year. Have you noticed poor reception, poor call quality, dropped calls, etc.? Thanks!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

No problems thus far!

[@IAMSUPREME22]

🚨 Be sure to remind everyone when you compare the Pixel 7 Pro to the iPhone 14 Pro Max of the price difference please.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Well, that’s unavoidable really mate, isn’t it 😉

[@Read_Heat_]

The ultrawide isn't the same on 7 and 7 pro. Different fov + autofocus for macro mode on the pro

[@MarkEllisReviews]

I note the presence of macro on the Pro in the video, mate. The other bits... well, they're splitting hairs a bit, but good to know - thanks.

[@garethroberts167]

Pixel 7 pro versus S22ultra...that's the question....hmmm

[@thomasjrusso9280]

"Pure Android" sure is nice and smooth, but Google has locked down the look and feel to an iPhone level of OEM control. No options to change the system font, size options for the system font are coarse, home screen layout is unpleasantly baked in, the settings menu is a endless laundry list of text, and the drop-down quick settings are giant pill buttons with tiny icons and scrolling text that hurts my eyes. Also the always-on display and lock screen are non-customizable. The hardware and the AI features are great, I just wish some of these deep UI settings could be modified. Customization used to be what the Android OS was all about.

[@Emi-rd1lk]

Pretty much nobody is mentioning how terribly slow both phones are charging. Come on Google, it's almost 2023.

[@Jermo484]

You don't notice a difference between the 8GB and 12GB of RAM between the phones? I have an S20+ and want a Pixel 7, but I'm worried about noticing going from 12GB down to 8GB.

[@phipimonares9730]

If only Pixel has the same video quality as its photos... It will be unbeatable...

[@marksouthwell4490]

Video has improved, but still nowhere near iphone standard

I couldn't disagree more with face ID vs in display finger print, face ID is way nicer, I also disagree with the always on display,I think the Apple implementation is nice,good video.

[@archmagus1510]

agreed the size of a 6a-6.1 and the pixel7-6.3 is the best size for smartphone probably. 6.7 is for people with big hands....

Great review, now I'm set on going 6 Pro to 7 Pro. The real question is: what keycaps are on your keyboard?

6:02, is that Gunnersbury Park ?

[@MarkEllisReviews]

I believe it was!

[@carrs01]

I know I’ve made these comments before. Most phone reviews can really only focus on the camera. Followed by the display maybe? Most flagship phones are really good. So it’s a decision iOS or Android. I go for the former since I’m in the Apple eco system and just like how all my Apple devices work together. Great review Mark.

[@1955camp]

did you notice and shutter lag in your photo taken?

[@tkusterb]

I tried to switch from iOS to an Android phone once (a quite well-reviewed Samsung) and lasted two weeks. Nothing wrong with the phone but I just didn't "get" it. Couldn't figure out where things were and how things worked. Very uncomfortable. Ran back to Apple and heaved a sigh of relief. Why is it so hard to go from Apple to Android?

[@andrewpearson4772]

Im thinking about changing my mobile phone. Im running a Samsung Galaxy s21 paired with galaxy watch 42mm lte. Theres an offer on where you can get a free google pixel watch with the pixel 7 pro. Would you think it would be wise to change to the pixel 7 pro and pixel watch?

[@inkfrogrfx]

One month on and my screen is failing. I had previously owned a Pixel 5, Pixel 6 and I hoped with this iteration, that Google had FINALLY worked out it's issues, but apparently I was wrong. If I had dropped it or done something stupid, I'd be grateful for this level of care. However, this is poor workmanship on Google's part. I'm kind of looking forward to showing off just what Google does after you spend money on the best they have to offer. I even bothered with signing up for Team Pixel. A wasted effort at this point.
