The 7 was my reintroduction back into Android after 3 years with the iPhone and 5 years since my last pixel phone (pixel 2xl). And I'm honestly pleased with my experience. I do wish I got the 7 pro instead. But Im not a fan of big phones and recently had the 12 mini. But it seems like since my note 10, android has done a good job making big phones for comfortably in hands So the pixel 8 pro will definitely b my next buy if it's a great improvement from the 7 pro.

[@eg8049]

I switched from iphone 13 to pixel 7 too and it has been great. Just a tip, dont buy pixel 8 pro as soon as it comes. Buy it 2-3 months later so google can fix all the bugs.

I believe you are only one in the whole universe who is getting 2 days of battery life with Pixel 7 otherwise every one who has purchased Pixel 7 is complaining about the battery back up and throttling issues.

[@richardbartlett6932]

If someone says 2 days battery life you know they are either lying about actually using the phone or it's a paid review These simply cannot last 2 days of normal use. By 12.00 I was having to turn the screen down to try to eek out battery life. It's dreadful. With the massive advances in battery tech I'm amazed anyone is offering less than 5000 these days. It's a cost cutting exercise which reviewers gloss over and buyers lie to themselves because they don't want to believe they have been fooled Battery life is shocking for a mobile.

[@23lkjdfjsdlfj]

Here here. My Galaxy S10+ curved screen has been a multi-year nightmare. The phone constantly treats holding the phone normally (on the side) as random finger swiping movements. I'll never buy a curved screen again.

[@THExDUDEx8624]

I have been going for the biggest screen possible for a long time now. I got the 6a without doing my research and about had a heart attack when I realized the size. After one day with it, I was sold. It's not big. It's not small. It's in a perfect sweet spot. It's also my first a series. I think I'll stick with the a series. My top 3 apps are KZbin, KZbin music and Google podcast. I always bought the most expensive version because that was supposed to be "better".

[@good-tn9sr]

doesn’t youtube music have podcasts now? I started using that feature.

[@Hiltegard]

I absolutely LOVE my pixel 7. Full goldilocks device. Not too small not too big. Just right. There is NO WAY I would ever use it without a case. It's far to slippery for that. At minimum I would probably consider throwing a super grippy D-Brand skin on the back.

[@kfirlyle]

I have an unlocked North American Pixel 7 pro; a GREAT phone; BUT BUYER BEWARE. Google perhaps stupidly or in a self-defeating manner, blocks 5G connections to much of Europe and Asia. If you are a mobile warrior or professional who travels often.... AVOID this phone as well until Google addresses this outrageous issue. My friends with Iphones and Samsungs do not face the same issues.

[@highsoflyify]

I didnt even wanted to use it before I got my rubber case from Amazon. It felt slippery like a wet soap bar in my hand 😂 Besides that, it's an amazing device 😃

[@blasien1]

I never really liked curved screens. Even the good ones still suffer accidental touches. The functionality penalty far outweighs the supposed visual/design appeal. As for the lack of telephoto lens, I'm with you and prefer a wide and a telephoto, not two variations of wide. But Google took such a beating over that setup from the tech press with the Pixel 4 that they even lost Levoy, the genius that made Pixel cameras as good as they were. I don't think Pixel will return to wide+telephoto on their dual camera models anytime soon.

[@VihangaDananjaya1214]

I'd love to see a 3x telephoto lens on the regular pixel 8 instead of an ultra wide. I know that it's least likely to happen but I like having quality zoom over a wider field of view.

[@soumyarajkundu7453]

My Pixel 7 is great when I am on WiFi, but as soon as I switch to cellular network all hell breaks loose. Mobile network is sucking up battery like crazy. It is only giving me 3.5 hrs SOT on mobile network, while on WiFi it gives 6+ hrs SOT. Is this problem only in India, or elsewhere as well? Also, if anybody is getting good battery life in India when you are off Wifi, could you please tell which sim you are using?

[@LooNeYlv]

After 6mo of Pixel 7 usage and updates one disappointment for me is the G2 chip and how little it is an update from G1, still it sometimes lags.... Especially it is noticeable if you delete pictures one-by-one(in the pictures), after 2nd or 3rd picture deletion it freezes up 'next' picture is blurred out & you cannot do anything. After few seconds it unfreezes but sometimes it goes to next(right) picture, sometimes it goes i dont know why to previous picture like you would swipe to left.... 'Pixel' should be premium out of the box hassle free phones.. but in real life there are still a lot of imperfections.. I get the android 'custability' freedom but options on the pixel is real clusterf... and if you need to find something it is just unreal without just searching in the search bar... All these small annoying things that dosent go great for the plan - especially if google wants to be no.1 android phone ahead of samsung and then be apple's main competitor in phone segment, there is still A LOT of things to do. But if implemented right without any bad decisions it can be done in 3-4years/models time. (just in time for my next phone 😊 ) Overall im happy of the phone and dont regret my purchase. The chipset lock is there so G could give 5 years support and updates... It is really hard to do on 3rd party(Snapdragon gen2 chipset for example) that you only have rights to utilize in your phone... So after 2 full years it is nearly impossible to normally support it because you are dependent on them and they can do whatever they want so most probably they up the licence price if they want to get the support licence, or get their newest gen chip that is cheaper.... So basically if you could what YOU would choose - Google in house 'Tensor' chips with 5/6 year main android support, or Snapdragon chips with 3 year main android support? (like it was before) Battery is big department if they want to win over Samsung, as S is strong in this field. I also get almost 2 day battery life on my medium usage, but... It should be longer if the want to dethrone S. And Google should officially push for full 2 day battery life(as one day life was something in 2015 to brag about. And no super QC can fix this if you dont have an outlet to plug in) For me it would be perfect if p7 had 300-500mah larger capacity battery, then it would be a beast that could hold like 2.5 days easy... p.s. i dont know why many games i play have 'jitter' if im on 90Hz. So im just using it on 60Hz setting and the jitter is gone, also saving battery because i also really cannot see that 30hz difference in daily life on a small 'phone' screen but you can notice the battery drain(i'd say it depletes ~10% faster on a full charge scale)

I am loving my Lemongrass Pixel 7. I've had it since the day before launch, and it has been excellent the entire time. For a long time I was rocking the official lemongrass case, but I dropped it on concrete and it got damaged making it look ugly. So now I am using the Caseology Nano Pop case. It still has a hint of that lemongrass color around the camera bar. It matches really nicely with my Lemongrass Pixel Buds Pro and my Pixel Watch with lemongrass band.

The only reason I am not buying a pixel is because how large they are. Google should match the size of the Galaxy S23 & iPhone 14 which are NORMAL sized & that normal use to be considered large.

[@DavidWhite-je7jh]

The battery in my S21 was giving up so traded it in for a pixel 7 in the recent Google store Spring sale, snagged one for £170. Honestly feels like I scammed them, but several things really, really annoy and disappoint me about the Pixel 7. 1) the absolutely absurd "quick" toggle for WiFi 2) being unable to remove the At A Glance widget - primarily because i make little use of the options available for display and would rather use the more visually appealing widgets such as weather or calendar, but also because it prevents me from placing widgets where I want, and has wasted space above and below of approx 15mm. 3) the battery life feels disappointing considering the charging times 4) the photos app backing up every photo from every app that creates a folder within the DCIM folder 5) the limited availability of Google Assistant call features for users outside the US and a select few other countries - massively disappointing.

[@gingerkyriakos6968]

I can't agree more. I can wipe my arse wtih Google Asistent as it is not supported in my country. Wifi toggle.Why,why??

[@DWtechfan]

Is the heat management really THAT bad? Because I'm considering this phone in the next few days but reviews are kinda split. Some say their Pixel 7 has little or no overheating issues while others have nothing but problems. Same with battery life too, some say it's decent or great while others say it's horrible. Of course, you could apply this to any smartphone brand out there but with Pixels, it seems far more split.

[@anuragjain4879]

Honestly pixels are overrated. I have had a pixel 4a , pixel 6 pro and pixel 7. They all have the same problem. Green or teal appears vibrant green blue which completely ruins the pic for me. As a surgeon I take pics against a green background and it completely ruins it. Moreover pics in low light condition are completely washed out. Flash is the worst offender. It imparts an unnatural orange pink hue to the pics. Samsung pics are way better. I regret my decision to go in for pixel and obviously will be the last time. Computational photography isn't the panacea to a relatively mediocre hardware including a exynos based chip and seriously the algorithms need a new infusion of ideas.

the fingerprint scanner on my 7 was a bit fussy. it would work fine the first instance i registered but would fail almost every time after that. it took like 5 time reregistering before it finally stuck, and it was good after that. battery life, especially on standby, wasn't very good. everything else about it was fantastic. premium feeling, beautiful design, good price.

I would wait for the 8 series unless you need a phone now. Your pretty much always going to be better off with the newer version unless something goes wrong of course.

Pixel 8 will launch with a smaller screen size of 6.1 inch. Pixel 8 pro 6.7inch

[@daeshaunmoore4265]

@@Devt9 It won't be that much of difference, plus the more compact the pixels are the better and sharper the display will look.

My camera glass has shattered on this twice now once in march less than a month from owning the phone and the other day now. The other day tho was my fault leaned against a wall and a stone poked it but man the small camera housing is way more prone to cracking than the pixel 6s

[@deverilwallen9656]

I upgraded from 3 to 6 pro. neva regrated it. but i do prefer the flat screen

When I want to use a small device I just go back to my pixel 5 over my 7 pro

[@archangel115]

I'm still waiting for Google to implement the same blue color they used on their first Pixel device. Now they're just using all these pastel colors that don't work for me.

There is a blue Pixel 7a being released

[@archangel115]

@@craigward26 Yes you're right, but the shade of blues are very different from one another.

I find this phone to be perfect

IveI'found the finger print sensor on my 7 worse than my 6 pro but I find the face unlock great in normal light it seems faster than mycs23 ultra

[@PrometheanKitchen96]

I have the pixel 7 myself and it can get a little hot. That's my only real complaint with that. Other than that, it's really good phone and one of the best phones I've ever had, but I kind of wish that Google would get the snap dragon just like Samsung's phones instead of the tensor 2

[@prokayy]

Does it lag sometimes? I am thinking of upgrading from the pixel 4 and I'm not sure if I should go for a phone with a gen 2 or continue with the pixels.

[@PrometheanKitchen96]

@@prokayy actually I find it really good. I don't really have any leg issues. It's actually a very fast phone and mine goes about 90hz but I think the pro version might be better. I just have the base model

[@johndave4568]

I wish google could use Qualcomm for its chips or just ditch samsung for tsmc

[@MasterofLightning]

Aside from the camera, I'm not liking this phone at all. I'm having constant connection issues that weren't there with my Galaxy 20fe and it's an overall jankier experience in a lot of ways. And the fingerprint sensor is near-useless.

[@GamingCulture1]

Overall bad really bad experience here with my 7xl. First the camera is not very good. I've tried all recommended settings, still the photos are very pixelated, and lack sharpness or detail, especially when zooming in. Second the charging port is broken and the cord falls out the instant you move the phone. I've had it for only 3 months.

[@ghostdragon2593]

I don't take many pictures but mine seem ok so far with what little I used it and as far as the charging cable goes I think you got a defective phone because my charging cable stays in even if I move the phone, I use the official Google charger not sure if that makes a difference
