Pixel 7 review: The new DEFAULT Android!

[@negativeplayer4446]

Dunno why Google doesn't want to make all the bezels equal like in the Pixel 5.

[@kdt110]

It's probably harder to now that they're packing all flagship features.

[@iamjoehill]

SAMSUNG. They're using SAMSUNG parts is why!!

[@DarthRevan260]

Because they wanted to keep the prices 600/900 and the screen with equal bezels is much more expensive (it needs to be curved inside the phone)

[@sanakhvi]

Literally what I told my wife yesterday. I got the Pixel 7 and I'm satisfied but I'm sad that it doesn't look as clean as the Pixel 5

[@DanielBieniek]

​@@sanakhvi my problem actually. got the pixel 7 (went from P5) and its just feels wrong with the new material, weight displaced etc. Returned it yesterday - got the Asus Zenfone 9 and now it feel pixel 5 again (camera and software sadly a long way from pixel - but its resembles).

Network was all I cared about. Thanks for including it. For me the most important part of a phone is being able to make calls, text, and have a connection.

It looks like a good phone, but not enough for me to upgrade from my Pixel 6. I will wait for the pixel 8 phone to come out.

[@earnistse4899]

The 7 might be enough. More efficient tensor chip , better cameras , much better cellular modem and screen brightness is greatly improved, so is battery life.

This mf been holding out for a whole year?!?

[@komialbertabotsi4496]

I think it's just a slip.

[@bsalvis]

One of the first thinks I noticed is the P7 feels better balanced. The P6 always felt top heavy to me. Maybe it's the camera bar being a little lower or just the slightly smaller height, but either way it just it feels much easier when holding/typing. I agree for such an incremental looking upgrade, there's a lot going on for the better on the P7.

[@tonymoore2100]

Great upgrade, especially with the trade-in values Google is giving for previous Pixels.

[@mikeoleksa]

My P7 Pro gets delivered tomorrow. I haven't been this excited about getting a new phone in a long time. I have a question for anyone that may know. Would a holster for a Pixel 6 Pro fit the 7 Pro? It wouldn't have anything to do with the buttons and where they are located on the phone. I'm specifically looking at the Encased Belt Case for the Clear Phone Case with Holster Clip (2021). It's a rigid case that the phone goes into the frame at the bottom then gets locked in place by the spring clip at the top. It has a belt/pocket spring clip on the back that rotates. I'm just not seeing the specific Pixel 7 Pro holster anywhere, even Encased's own web site.

[@Rehdd]

It wont fit perfectly as the camera is slightly shifted. It could be close enough but you would almost certainly notice it. You should be able to find cases from Amazon. I got the spigen clear one.

[@richenjoshi7054]

Volume buttons are now shifted below power button in p7

[@mattsaljanin583]

Hey I have a Google pixel 4 XL I am looking to get the base pixel 7 Will that be a downgrade in terms of display quality? Reading the specs makes it look like it'll be worse not sure

[@whereamigoing777]

Maybe a reduction in pixel density but brightness and color accuracy are better.

[@mdiesel120]

Thinking of upgrading my 6 pro to 7. With trade in only 119$ . I think worth it for better signal, free vpn (future), and having a brand new phone with better chip. I dont think downgrading my ram back to 8g and my refresh down to 90ghz will make a noticeable difference.

[@michaelmatuszak6319]

I am also going to down grade my p6p to the p7. I just find myself not using the pro features as much as I thought I would

[@manwhale5320]

Very nice video. Im already planning on upgrading from my iphone 8 to the pixel 7. Can i please have the link of the screen protector you have installed on the phone?

[@tothra]

I upgraded from the Pixel 5a to the Pixel 7. I've been using it for a few days and love it. The 7 is large enough w/o being cumbersome , the software has been very fluid and quick. The new chip and software has been flawless so far. The screen is brighter and more crisp. Call quality is great, wifi calling hasn't dropped once, and I absolutlty love being able to screen all my calls. Better yet, you can define who gets screened and who gets sent directly to call history, like robo calls! I highly recommend this phone

[@steve-o-reno]

How has your battery been? This will be my 2nd day using mine and I feel that it drains a little fast with light usage.

[@skullfazed7776]

I have the same qn, hows your battery life?

[@tothra]

So far I'm happy w my battery life. I've used it pretty hard, playing around with it. I've not kept track of actual hours, but I'm getting the better part of a days hard use out of it

[@steve-o-reno]

So, here's my update...from 9:00am till around 2:00pm I watched a few videos, did some texting, did some online shopping, and checked my mail. At this time my battery was around 65%. Went out around 2:30pm to a corn maze and used the camera pretty heavily as well as some texting. By the time I got home around 7:30pm my battery was at 1%. I honestly didn't think the camera was going to kill my battery as fast as it did. Is this normal? I don't feel I really had to worry about my battery this much using my Pixel 5 🤷‍♂️ I will also add that it gets pretty damn warm when it's charging.

[@skullfazed7776]

@@steve-o-reno thats pretty poor battery life for a flagship phone, especially if you were mostly taking pictures instead of videos. Though I have heard that people see their newer android phones' battery life improve after about a week, once their phone gets used to their usage pattern. This is just anecdotal though.

[@cosmob.4895]

Upgrading from black pixel 5 to the pixel 7 and am so torn between the lemongrass colour and the white! I'm worried I won't like it in person or that it will age poorly. Does the colour look really pleasant in person or does it take an acquired taste to like it?

don't press on the middle of the screen to make it warp.

[@alexulrich2393]

So I've been rocking the 64 GB Pixel 2 since 2018 and love it, but it's time to upgrade. Think I should play it safe with the slightly more compact 7 which is twice the phone my Pixel 2 is for less money (or almost free on Verizon with my trade in)? Or should I take the plunge for the 7 Pro which is a little big imo but would be the most powerful Pixel money can buy right now?

[@bubamara3479]

They are rocking same chip soo PRO isn't more powerful, maybe more ram but that doesn't really make any difference cuz 8 gb is more then enough for next couple of years. I would go for base P7 model, only if u care to have macro camera and bigger screen with more HZ and a 100 nits brighter screen.

Though I find wireless charging cool and innovative, I still prefer using regular fast charging and being able to use my power bank to charge. Any advice/comments would be greatly appreciated.

[@asdashuascar]

both are great in its on regard. tbh , having the s22 i valued the bezelless design, the telephoto and software features like pro raw . However the battery was mediocre, size too compact to my use and the cameras were quite the same but over sharpened processing and even with less detail, oh and don't forget the Sd 8 gen 1 which is warmer than the average. i would go with the pixel 7, tbh googles camera are way more reliable so much that I'm ordering the pixel 7 pro. opinion coming from a pixel 3 owner and s22 (which i sold after seeing it unworthy of the price). Oh btw s22 Ultra is a little different story, i think it is worth the price and the cameras are mostly fixed regarding the little s22 version.

@@teknerd I'm just saying, I know a lot of photographers are angry at the idea that a cell phone is getting to be almost as powerful if not more than some DSLRs. My cousin who is a professional photographer has voiced that before. So in my personal opinion and from that information I feel like phone cameras are in a decent spot lol

[@teknerd]

@@GretSeat I don't agree with the cell phone camera being better or as good as a DSLR. Photography is far more than equipment, it is control of lighting. Also, in computational photography, a computer makes decisions based on someone elses opinion (Google) what a perfect photo should look like. If you put a room full of photographers and asked them to photograph a bowl of fruit, each photographer will take a different spin on it using light, its direction, its quality (hard or soft, specular vs diffused), camera angles (POV). Not to mention a plastic lens on a cell phone camera cannot match a handcrafted razor sharp full frame lens. Cell phone cameras are great for those candid photos when you don't have a traditional camera with you. In fact, Cell Phone cameras are very behind point and shoot cameras of 20 years ago. It's just the computational algorithim that fixes problems the photographer didn't or couldn't fix at image capture That depends on the skill of the photographer. I don't see super models having their magazine photos with a cell phone camera any time soon. Anyway, talking about the merits of computational photography and traditional photography is a very very deep rabbit hole.

People talk about the Pixel 7's NPU capabilities as if they were the best, no, it's just that Google has a database that no one else has, a database acquired very often illegally and intrusively.

[@srirachili]

you have already used the pixel 7 for a year? GOTDAM

[@IncCLem]

Nice ! And thank you for the precision concerning the color !

[@KirbyKlein6]

Apple is great. But the Google Ecosystem has everything I need. Including an internet and phone plan. Go Google!!!

[@eg8049]

I got it for like 300$, new. And it is so fucking awesome.

[@lildoc]

Fingerprint biometrics is still not perfect on Pixel 7. Took 3 attempts for the phone to register it and still when I try to use it to unlock the phone, it says fingerprint not recognised. My basic VIVO worth $100 has better fingerprint technology than this $599 phone! Totally disappointed.

[@dorriesmith2177]

I ordered the Pixel 7, on sale through the Google store for 499 dollars. They gave me a trade in on my Google Pixel 6 for 479 dollars. With tax I purchased the Google Pixel 7 for 21.43 cents... Where can you find a better deal than that!!! They can keep their 1200 dollar IPhone 14... I'm sticking with GOOGLE!!!

Can u share the wallpaper on lockscreen please

I know the smartphone market is ultra-competitve these days, but are reviewers now too hyper-nitpicky? The 7/Pro are not priced at premium levels, yet reviews treat them like that. It goes without saying, at the most basic level, you're either Android or iOS, and most stick with that because it's what they know. If you're into Apple, you'll pay a premium, if you're into Android you'll have acres of choice at all price points. I'd say for 99.9% of use cases for 99% of buyers, the latest Pixel's will be absolutely perfect, which is probably what Google was aiming for.

[@phillipperez3358]

The Pixel 6 would last for 2 days?!?! 👀💀 I've had my pixel 6 since launch and I get like 4 hours of screen on time lol

[@stevehoge]

I get a couple of days out of my Pixel 6. Most days I come home and it's still at >75%

[@cunninghamster]

You've used the Pixel 7 for a year, daily! Impressive!

[@benjaminapeter]

I was confused at that too. lol

[@eboyblackout]

I actually like the Pixel 7 design, club that design with a spigen matt black case and it will look slick!

[@d3vastat0r89]

You used the Pixel 7 for a year? Daily? 😮

[@TeamVRY]

great review Damien! excited to get mine.

[@kosiotzonev]

My screen is yellowish AF, I guess I hit the lottery...

[@heythisaintebay]

Did you say you used a Pixel 7 daily for a year?😅

[@xyoxus]

0:33 *Pixel 6

[@JimLucas]

Appreciate the great review🤘🏻. Moustache has to go 😬

[@mokpra]

just hate that bump from camera bar…aesthetically…otherwise must be a good phone

[@d.n.3652]

The pixel 5A was the last good one. It had the headphone jack and the touchID

[@ElectricC0mpany]

I guess I'm the only person who thinks higher resolution is more important than a higher refresh rate...

[@shdsfGray]

would they release the "A'' series for this? a real "A" factor

[@djarthurlooby]

Shit I don't have time to unlock the phone with fingerprint scanner because it takes 0.3 seconds vs 0.2. Damn when ur life is so short u don't have a second to wait for a phone to unlock lol. Damn. 120hrz is still a battery drainer. When u turn off the pro 7 and 6 pro become battery beast. 90 seems good enough for smoothness and battery life. I mean if a pixel 6a last longer then a pixel 6 pro. That tells u how bad 120hrz is for battery life.

[@aayushmohta5572]

0:33 , you probably meant pixel 6, and not pixel 7

[@Yahboai]

Did anyone else hear "(burp)grade" 7:49 🤣🤣

[@alerodriguez5255]

Do support mmwave bands P7

[@green9227]

The regular unlocked pixel 7 does not support mmWave but if you buying it carrier locked from att and Verizon it will have mmWave support N260 N261 it will cost 700 dollars on Verizon and 740 dollars on att.

[@bdawg202787]

Getting mine today! Pretty excited.

[@3lectronic0]

90Hz, mediocre battery (I think even worse than pixel 6), "fast charge" is a joke, not wall charger on the box, cinematic video recording is a bad copy from apple. I'm not impressed.

[@KregSteppe]

You have used the Pixel 7 for a year, Daily? ;)

[@moozy6908]

I hope they come with a combact model so i can upgrade from P4a

[@ChiaDai]

Don't rush a review, better to refine the script and content and cut the review time shorter.

[@budfox3097]

According to Tom´s Guide the battery life is AWFUL.

[@nevetscoulibaly8292]

the 7 is more beautiful than the 7 pro

[@shdsfGray]

Appealing color, anyway

[@darionwilson3666]

Phone looks really cool. I jus hate the way cases look on it

[@GretSeat]

my Spigen case looks great on it

[@tommckee5671]

Well done , thorough review. Thanks.
