My current phone and the correct choice for phone of the year. Amazing in so many ways. I bought the iPhone 14pro max after having the 13 pro last year. A fantastic phone but not exciting so once I saw what Google were doing I sold the 14 pro max purchased the 7 pro and so glad I did.

I’m curious how long it will take you to come back to the iPhone. While the Pixel 7 Pro is good, it’s not as refined as the 14 Pro Max, you’ll start noticing the small details right away (ie haptic engine being one of them).

[@crazyfun5150]

I've been using the Pixel 7 for a week now. It's an amazing phone for the price. It's an overall smooth experience. My only real complaints are the fingerprint sensor being garbage with a screen protector on even with screen protector mode enabled. Then the face unlock only works in well lit conditions. Everything else has been a great experience. Actually considering getting the Pixel watch and Pixel buds a series to complete my Google ecosystem. And I've been mostly an iPhone guy the last 6-7 years. But the 7 series just feel premium and are better values for your money. Especially if you do as I did and get a really good trade in value.

[@kkenny]

What screen protector are you using? Have you tried inputting the same finger 3 times?

If Google kept the design of the Chalk 6A for the 7 and same 6.1” screen size with 120hz and nicked the bezels of the S22, I’d switch and be an Android convert for life I think. I just don’t want to be forced into a 6.7” curved screen phone to get the features I want…

iPhones are better priced than Pixel. Pixels are overpriced.

[@kaianthony8077]

@@kaeji_namitsua how did you reach that conclusion? In the US the pixels are much cheaper and the trade in values from Google are much more generous than those from Apple. The Pixel 7 Pro is 100 USD less than the awful iPhone 14 Plus even without the increased trade in discounts.

[@sagetom]

Just discovered your channel. Always loved the pixel but eventually got an iPhone as it just worked better with some things at the time. Almost impossible to move a 1.5 TB Google photos library to iCloud btw which makes me miss the native google photos app on the pixel. For me, the iPhone’s announced features are almost always more exciting than actually using them and for the pixel, I find it’s the reverse.

[@markcaiger-watson1104]

Great video. Helping to decide whether to keep or return my pixel 7 pro. I'm not convinced about the battery though. It doesn't even last as long as my 4 year old Huawei Mate 20 X. How are you finding the battery Mark?

[@nickchalmers3029]

Great vid but you omitted an area where the apple and the pixel are similar...lack of personalisation. Ok, so the pixie has colour choices, wallpaper, etc etc but.....why MUST I have the 'at a glance', Google search bar, previous app select line and fixed icons at the bottom? I want to make my phone my own, that's why I can't have either of them. Shame, I loved the 6a but sent it back for these reasons. If Nova can create such a great platform to personalise a device why can't the manufacturers offer the same functionality. I love phones, really do, but I also don't like having to install 3rd party launchers. For me oneplus offers the best middle ground. Love your style of presenting, nice one 👍

[@echoduce]

Been an iPhone user forever. Love them. Purchased an iPhone 14 pro max but was bored then the Pixel 7 pro launched and it was ♥️ at first sight. Really a fun phone to use.

I think you are going overboard about the S22 Ultra Exynos. I have had mine since launch & it's been fine. battery is all day +, It's fast enough, how fast do you want a phone to be? Maybe yours is faulty? Great video. Much surprised that you like a Pixel phone being an Apple fan boi 😉

[@odessastepsmag]

Got a Fold 3, just before the 4 came out, because, with trade in, it was around 75% off retail. I like it fine. It's almost as big as my mini iPad 6.

[@wakeupcall2665]

Thank you, Marc! You make an excellent point. I have the iPhone 13 Pro Mac for about a year now, and I love it. Normally, I get the next series, and sell the old one. But at the price Apple is offering the 14 Pro Max I have reached a point where I have to tell myself: STOP! I talked a good lady friend (she is 78 - bless her) to get the Pixel 6 to finally ditch her awful Huawei Somfing, and it is an awesome device for her needs (WhatsApp 😂 Telephone and a bit of surfing/email and photos. Back to the point you made: we want a device to connect with others, manage our day to day business and errands and take good looking photos to share with our bubble - for a reasonable price. And the Pixel 7 Pro delivers exactly that. I probably keep holding on to the Pro Max for the time being. The iPhone 14 series left me underwhelmed in a way. Definitely no urge whatsoever. Smartphones have become anyways somewhat of a normality, nothing special, a device you use without thinking too much about.

[@icmn223]

My last two phones were Sony, i.e. the Xperia 5 II and then the Xperia 5 III. I prefer a smallish phone and the size of the Xperia 5 was just right for me. Wanted to get the IV but, it took a step backwards as far as the radios for the North American market, U.S. to be specific. In search of a new phone that covered all the U.S. frequencies, I found the iPhone and Pixel were the primary options. I'm not in the Apple ecosystem and prefer Android so, I jumped on the Pixel 7 when I saw they had a $200 discount if you switched over to Google Fi. However, I have to say I'm pretty dissapointed in the Pixel 7. It's quite a bit bulkier and heavier than the Xperias since it's both thicker and wider. I much prefer the slimmer and narrower Xperia and the extra wide aspect ratio doesn't bother me, in fact, I prefer it. The other big step backward is the fingerprint reader. The Sony reader integrated into the power button on the side of the phone is the best implementation IMHO. It's very accurate and the most convenient to me in that position. Using the screen on the front of the Pixel 7 is annoying and terribly innacurate although, I was able to work around that to some degree by using my thumb for all four available fingerprint slots. I don't care much about the camera but, as an audiophile that uses high end bluetooth headphones, I'm very picky about the bluetooth codecs. Again, a big step back from the Sony as the Pixel does not support aptX Adaptive which is a real shame. What that means for headphones like the new Focal Bathys, for example, is that the best you can do is aptX since the Bathys doesn't support LDAC or aptX HD, that leaves the base aptX as the best common denominator with the Pixel 7.

[@theorgazoid4918]

[@a4andrei]

As a long time Android user that was sort of bored with the platform, I was really tempted to buy an iPhone 13 Pro and switch teams. But after seeing how good the Pixel 7 series is, I just couldn't justify purchasing an iPhone. Heck, for the price of one iPhone 14 Pro, you can buy two Pixel 7 phones, which are spectacular phones for almost everyone.

[@gokillshotgogaming263]

Another top video. New to your channel. Great perspective. On the fence myself about upgrading my iPhone 11 PM to the iPhone 14 PM or the Pixel 7 Pro. Temptation to hold off for the 15 next year with confirmed (pretty much) usb C, titanium (apparently) and fresh design. But sky rocketing costs are a big factor. Quick one, since your original video, have you found battery life has improved on the pixel 7 pro? I’m out on the road all day so need a good battery.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thank you, and welcome onboard! The battery life has been great from the start. I absolutely hammered it with video and photography in London, so no surprises it struggled (the iPhone did, too).

I liked the features of the Google pixel, camera and everything, but for some reason the middle of the screen on the pixel 7 pro felt hollow like when you press the middle of the be screen it felt cheap. Didn't feel premium so i returned it and got the s22 ultra, and I'll wait next year for the pixel 8 pro

[@victorrumyantsev3718]

Apple released iPhone SE 3 this year. It's very budget friendly and... it is an iPhone!

[@andyH_England]

I always base my phone of the year on what is the best, not bring value into it as the Pixel 7 Pro is poor value for 90% of the world, where the average selling price is $300. So as soon as you have a phone choice based on price, you are being very subjective. So based, on best candy bar phones, I would say that this year the iPhone 14 Pro Max remains number 1. Though the sub-category of best Android candy bar phone is also relatable, and the OPPO Find X5 Pro wins that for me, but by a small margin as there are many very good phones and personal preference will swing it many ways.

Tim Cooks says just buy and iPhone, like everyone can afford their overpriced (many) products. The reality is this is exactly their game, if they opened FaceTime and iMessage their trap would be reduced same with moving on to USBC and RCS standards. If people won't move to other messaging apps to communicate because their product choices are somewhat cult like in the companies behaviour then they honestly are buying into that cult behaviour too, and paying premium price for it.

Great video. I rarely watch Android videos, but you deciding on a Pixel for phone of the year had me clicking immediately. I agree, especially about the amount of choices available today. I’m one who believes Apple does innovate. We just hear about Apple’s innovations years before they hit the market. I also wish you and other reviewers would talk more about an area many regular people care about and that’s security. Google, Facebook and Amazon all have a record that’s both terrifying and disgusting when it comes to the privacy of their consumers. My most lasting PC memory is the constant virus and malware battle that took up more time than actual productivity. I guarantee you the social worker, tax accountant or nurse cares about whether this app might be malware, Facebook sold our data to Russia and Cambridge Analytics or Amazon and Google are tracking us completely outside of their apps.
