Pixel 7 Pro Long-term Review: 5 Months Later!

[@Thommadura]

My family bought me a Pixel 7 Pro to replace my easy to use small Flip Phone that had nothing wrong with it. It took me 2 months to figure out how to make a telephone call. Apparently there is no place around me that offers lessons in Smartphones (I am 85) but it sure would be nice because I will never figure out all of this stuff.

[@redrock425]

My wife and I have just got P7P's ourselves. Excellent phones, came from 1+ 7T and feels like a nice upgrade. Call quality is night and day. Very slick to use too.

[@ToxicMoJo1]

I've had P7pro for about a month now and it's been great. I took a break from Android and had an iPhone for last five years and it's been so refreshing being back and this device has a perfect welcome back to Android for me. I was a nexus user and owned every one of those that came out. The pixel was definitely going to be my phone coming back to Android.

[@brandonw1604]

Same here. Getting mine today.

[@THExDUDEx8624]

Glad to hear it. When I hear people talk about overheating and it not running smooth it really surprises me. I went with the a series this time to save money. I was blown away with how good the 6a is for the price. It doesn't feel like a cheap phone at all.

[@vpan1982]

[@gallienus172]

I've had a Nexus 5 a Pixel 3 and I'm currently using a Pixel 7 Pro. I've been very happy with all my phones and I really can't see switching to anything else. It's not so much the hardware or the cameras that I like but the software. I like the idea of pure unadulterated android with no skins or embellishments. Each phone that I bought I've purchased directly from Google. Nothing makes me grind my teeth more than the idea of verizon or ATT putting their apps on my phone then not letting me remove them. That's one of the things that annoys the hell out of me about my Tab 7a I think it is. There are samsung programs on there that I don't use and I will never use but I can't delete them. If I could I'd wipe the memory and put a risc version of linux on the tablet or a plain vanilla version of android, but I digress. For me the biggest selling point of the Pixel phones is the software and no extra crap from phone companies.

[@shehansaverimuttu2049]

My pixel 7 pro battery life in terms of SOT for QHD+ is around 5hrs(on average) and sometimes even 4. Changing it to 1080p helped me a lot. I get high 6hrs of SOT but it's still far from your experience. I've been using the phone for more than 1 month now. Something I've noticed is either some users get really good battery life or meh, quite interesting.

[@ZachAnderson]

Yeah not everyone's usage is the same and on top of that, not every unit (phone/battery) is the same either. So it all depends. I average 7hrs comfortably, but like I said, it's more like 5.5-6.5 with heavy use.

[@rappernikmak]

I get mostly 5-7 hours with smooth display turned on. I get 7-9 hours with smooth display turned off. Both setups are always on QHD+.

[@meechieflow_]

I average 8 hrs with QHD+ on, with 120hz enabled. I turned off the Adaptive Battery in the settings and it doubled my battery life

[@beratsirin9781]

@@meechieflow_ wtf how

[@Swerg20]

I mean I'm a power user, I drained the batteries on even my Samsung S20 Ultra back in the day. I've just learned that I will need to charge in my vehicle, at the office, and bring a charger or power brick if I'm going to be away from home for a day or more. While the Pixels do not last quite as long, I will say the adaptive charging is really nice to have and lengthens the lifespan of the battery. My S20s battery was amazing when I first got it but over time the battery degraded and saw results similar to what my pixel gets anyways. At least the pixel has been consistent and I don't feel the need to replace the battery.

[@oneminutewonder77]

I prefer the curved screen, they make the gesture navigation feel so much better in my opinion. Not to mention they just feel more premium to hold. I don't like the idea of Google getting potential praise for going back to utilizing a cheaper display. Think about it, sure if you drop your phone a lot they cost us more to repair...but that means it's a more expensive component. You already know Google aren't going to pass the savings of a flat display onto the consumer either

[@Eastbound78]

I feel exactly like you

[@midnight_yota]

I have the pixel 7 pro and my girl has the regular pixel 7 and she actually is jealous of the curve on the display. She says the curve makes it feel like it's thinner.

[@AutumnSage98]

Im one of the few people who love curved displays, i use edge functionality on my phones pretty much for every interaction with my phone.

[@fasolaandrea]

Nice review, subscribed! I'm loving my 7 pro so far, coming from a 2xl, which made me one of the first to use a pixel phone here in Italy. Cheers!

[@jakesyoutubezone9808]

3xl slaps, the notch was a non-issue and having the wide angle for selfies made it genuinely useful in lots of situations. Textured glass back was luxurious and the 1440p OLEF was great for content. Still mad about the bad rap it got from techtubers.

[@midnight_yota]

It's wild to me because the wired charging is just over 20 watts but it seems to get so warm when charging rapidly. I also feel like it's weird that the adaptive charging overnight will fast charge up to 80% and then just keep it there all night as opposed to charging at slower or regular speeds over a couple hours. Even when I have an alarm set it still fast charges every time when plugged in over night.

[@malidan1196]

The charging on the Pixel line is a joke and is only at ultra budget level on Android in 2023. I just paid £99 for an OPPO to be have a mess with and that charges at 33 watts

[@doomy_doomy2225]

The main thing that is helping this phone is that it has been on sale since it came out. At my job the 7 Pro was $499.99, but now 5 months later it is $399.99. Google is banking on users buying them cause they are on sale and upgrading them to a new on in the future. Plus they will making all of that money back by them selling their data. Just makes you question if the phone is really worth $900 when they keep selling it at the price of a 6A

[@oneirosmorpheus]

Performance is great. I ocassionly would lose signal but eventually it got fixed with updates just like how you mentioned. My son is into his games on his pixel 7 regular phone and he loves it. From what he tells me it runs smooth and battery runs pretty long. I only once experience my phone overheating but it needed an update and it got fixed at the end of the day. I'm definitely will stay with the upcoming Pixel models .

[@jatin.c]

I absolutely love your videos. There are only a few tech channels which I love to look upto for daily tech updates and you are one of them. Would love to see more videos from you.

[@ZachAnderson]

That’s very much appreciated! Thank you!

[@Faith_Driv3n]

I hope they keep the curved display. Flat is boring

[@theirregularadventurers]

i got the pixel 7 pro at the original price, but i preordered it. so i... got the watch for free. I think that's still one of the best deals even after half of year since launch. i kinda love this phone and didn't stumble over a lot of the issues people are complaining about. i hope it just gets improved and better with time especially in the camera department. Yes pro mode would definitely be nice, and definitely portrait video needs a good amount of retouch. Also from what i noticed the most battery drain is in the camera department so i'd love to see less battery drain in the camera app (obviously with no camera performance shortcuts). I am not that upset with the pro camera missing (even though for me that would be the most significant and desirable feature) because RAW file format for capturing photos is there as a compromise for the missing pro mode and in fact you can get some awesome and amazingly fine shots in post.

[@soo5985]

I appreciate that your videos are unique when compared to other phone reviews. Great job

[@TheChazas]

5:46 closer to mid ranger? Tensor G2 scores ~1400/3800 on Geekbench 6, which is in between SD 888, 8 Gen 1 and 8+ Gen 1, and in some cases renders files even faster than those mentioned chips, only downside is efficiency, thanks to Samsung nm node tech.

[@jerrywu615]

I think this is a sign of midrange chips becoming too good rather than Tensor G2 not being good enough...the latest SD 7+ Gen 2 scored 1416/4117 on Geekbench 5, but that is the best of the best of the midrange so I'd say it still is a bit unfair to flat out say Tensor G2 is midrange

[@TheChazas]

@@jerrywu615 So true, midrange is plenty powerful to todays standard, no one even able to use all raw power of CPUs inside phones. With that said, G2 is plenty, even if it scores less than lets say SD 8+ Gen 1, it still managed to so certains things faster, like rendering. Efficiency is different story.

If the trade-in offers are strong for the P8P, I may give it a shot.

[@fluffisaurus7090]

May I ask how good the trade in deal on your phone was? All of the "trade in deal estimates" online I look at have terrible results for phones that just released (~30-40% value back) and I am wondering if it changes once you actually send your phone in.

But it's just too large for my pocket and difficult to use one-handed.

[@brett_musgrove]

Switched from a 3xl to the 7 pro and so far I've loved it. I've been using the 7 pro since launch and the 2 main problems I had with it are the selfie camera and the touch sensitivity issues. The problem I have with the selfie camera is that it was a major downgrade over the 3xl. The 3xl selfie camera had autofocus making selfies incredibly sharp all the time while the 7 pro has fixed focus so if you are not the perfect distance from the phone it will be blurry. That said, it still takes decent photos. Now for the touch sensitivity issues. My 7 pro would randomly and consistently just completely stop responding to touch for around 30 seconds at a time. It would also have instances where parts of the screen seemed to stop working like when scrolling it seemed as though the phone lost track of my finger. However I believe the march update has fixed the touch sensitivity issues as I haven't encountered them since.

[@psiResearch]

Thanks for mentioning the non auto focus selfie cam. I am typing this on my 3xl and my new 7pro just arrived yesterday. The sale price for the 7pro was too good to pass up and since my battery life on the 3xl is only about 40 minutes, it was time for either a new battery or new phone. There was no trade in to get the 7pro on the fast sale Google just had and one day one they only had four 512gb phones in stock, by the next morning only one was left so I snagged it for $330. I haven't activated the new phone yet as my text messages will disappear I think so I'm going through the 3xl to note important information. Cheers!

[@peterford9369]

You had me at, The lady on the plane with her 3xl. Because that's what I'm watching this review on. I bought this new in 2020, and it works perfectly, is flawless cosmetically and still gives me about 5 hours screen on time. I think my biggest complaint is the speakers on the newer models. Front facing stereo speakers is my most favorite feature on a phone. And for Pixel to move the bottom speaker to the bottom,,,SUCKS! 😢. Please Google, bring um back 🙏. Anyway, the 7pro looks like a winner, but! I am not thrilled with that gigantic camera bump? No, ramp. But I guess with a good case, it'll level out. I also think id rather have a rear finger print sensor. But never had one in screen, so who knows. All in all once I can find one new for around 400, 500, I will probably take a shot. I'm stuck at android 12 now, but still has really good features. And yes, that's what makes you reviewers like phone millionaires, there's nothing to having the best at your fingertips.

I owned every pixel since the pixel 2xl and try to switch over every chance but I wind up going back to the Samsung phones I had. Till this day the pixel 7 pro has not change my preferences and I wind up going back to my s22 ultra and now my s23 ultra. Some of the most basic stuff, to me, are better on the Samsung phones. One UI, the screen (more solid feel), better optimization, cellular modem and better battery are just better on Samsung. Also the charging speed is a joke on this phone. Maximum charge is a 22 watt charger and it still takes almost 2 hours. That's not fast charging. My old Samsung phones charged faster than that. Pixel still needs work and Google needs to fix what important. The only thing Pixel has an advantage over any phone now is still pictures and voice to text.

Got my 7 pro Thanksgiving '22 & within 4 months my screen started fading in & out green & looking like a "OLED screen burn" & eventually go completely blank & take forever to come back on. Seems like this is a common occurrence.

Hell, I've run a Pixel 3 XL since its launch and its still running great. Take care of your phone and it'll last!

Wonderful video.

I know the Google Pixel 7 Pro has 128 GB storage but how much of the storage is used up by the phone’s “system” right out of the box? How much storage will I actually have for my pic, vids, apps, etc, Thanks

[@ZachAnderson]

Out of the box I believe it’s in the ballpark range of around 20GB or so taken up by the system.

[@gratefulacres69]

@@ZachAnderson Thank you for your quick response to my question. Great review vid!

[@gratefulacres69]

@@ZachAndersonI bought the P7P and it has exceeded my expectations! The performance and functionality are excellent and the camera is AMAZING! Thanks for the review it helped me to decide what phone to buy. I ended up buying the 256 GB and the “system” right out of the box used 15 GB, not bad, Thanks again.

Are you going to review apps and do home screen setups again?

He's been posting home screen setups on the Android Police channel and also recently started posting on the How To Men channel as well.

What would you suggest google pixel 6pro or 7pro

[@ZachAnderson]

Definitely the 7 Pro

[@ayda2876]

I mean that's a great point people complaining about the CPU as if phones were made to play games on them ? Most people don't play games on their phones that's why computers exist. I dont think it's an issue at all and the optimization is great so why even bother complaining about the Tensor G2

What's your phone setting to get 9 hours of SoT? My SoT is only about 5 hours

[@ZachAnderson]

No setting. Just very light use. I average 7hrs normally.

Few questions: Which wireless charger are you using at 08:10. My battery life is very avg. Anywhere from 3-5 he's of SOT. I'm usually on WiFi a lot, but not a great signal where I work. Your screen looks pristine, do you use a screen protector? How did you get rid of the time/date that seems to be stuck on the home screen? What widget are you using for the battery that also gives you SOT?

Got a 7pro for 519$ yesterday :)

[@XLXMUSIC]

They should make the “Google Pixel 8 Super” that would be cooler than using the name Ultra like all the others, they should be different

[@rafaczesz1036]

Worth to change from s21??

[@pathhole3874]

Zach! When's the OnePlus 11 review coming?

[@ZachAnderson]

That’s next! Hopefully next week 🤞🏽
