[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Pixel phones in the past (Pixel XL & Pixel 3 XL) and always found some reason or other to not be fully happy with my experience - they never felt quite fully-baked to me for one reason or another, so I've spent the last few years trying out other phones that did what I needed them to do for the least amount of money possible, without regard for any of the traditional "bells and whistles" that phone manufacturers might use to try to get people to spend more money on phones. (I'm looking at you, Apple...) Then I got my hands on this phone, and I can honestly say this is the first phone I've ever used (from Google or anyone else for that matter) that felt like it was worth every single penny of the asking price - Google really seems to have completely nailed every single aspect of this device. The way it handles, the user interface, the technical specifications, the picture and video quality, the privacy settings - everything just *works* seamlessly and without hesitation. The only minor concern that I have is the battery life - at a full charge under normal operating conditions, it seems like the charge will last right around 25-30 hours, which for my tastes is a bit low. I understand there's a lot of powerful, energy-hungry hardware packed in here, but for my money, I would have rather seen the back of the device extended another few millimeters to meet the level of the raised camera lens "band", and then stuff that extra space with a battery that carries a few more milliampere hours. I also find the battery charging to be just a touch slower than I'd like, but I appreciate that slower charging will extend the life of the battery, so I'm not that bent out of shape about it, especially given how delighted I am with the rest of the phone. This one's a keeper!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have only had this phone for about a week but so far I'm lovin it! I've been a big fan of Pixel phones since the 4XL and the Pixel 7 Pro does not disappoint. The phone is fast and responsive and has a beautiful display, colors are rich and vibrant. The battery life is great, easily lasts me the whole day and then some. The camera is phenomenal, Pixels have long been thought to have some of the best cameras, photos come out crisp and clear and have an impressive set of editing tools at your disposal for fine tuning. Not a fan of the curved display however, makes it difficult to use a tempered glass screen protector due to the nature of the curved glass. Nonetheless, everything about the Pixel 7 Pro screams premium, it looks sleek and feels great in the hand, processor is fast and smooth, calls are crystal clear, phone is feature packed. Arguably one of the best Android phones available. Highly recommended!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Google Pixel 7 Pro for about one and a half weeks before writing this review. I must admit that Google has significantly improved both its hardware and software. The phone has some exceptional capabilities, including a screen with a high resolution and 30x zoom with the same image quality, among others. The following are some of the phone's features: 1. Build - Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus), aluminum frame 2. Display - LTPO AMOLED, 120Hz, HDR10+, 1000 nits (HBM), 1500 nits (peak), 6.7 inches, 110.6 cm2 (~88.7% screen-to-body ratio), 1440 x 3120 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~512 ppi density), Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, Always-on display.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always loved Google phones, originally the Nexus line, and now the Pixel line. While other manufacturer phones sometimes have more features, there is something to be said about the simplicity of the Pixel and vanilla Android OS. The hardware is great too. I love the subtle waterfall screen. The dialer and camera features are great, and the camera speed is fast so you don't miss a moment. I do wish that the regular Pixel 7 had all the same features at the Pro, as the Pro can sometimes be unwieldy due to its size.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this phone! It is great in so many ways. To share just a few: 1) The camera is amazing. It’s definitely the best camera I’ve ever had on a phone, and honestly can do much of what I’ve previously used a DSLR camera for. Night mode, Motion mode, Portrait mode, and more. Just awesome! 2) The screen is large! It’s also the best screen quality I’ve seen. The onscreen fingerprint reader works really well, even with a screen protector. You can see a lot and do a lot on this screen! 3) The battery life is excellent. It has lasted 2+ days even with somewhat heavy video usage. I’m sure it will vary to some extent depending on usage, but I am really impressed based on my experience. 4) It looks great! The simplicity of the front and curved screen edges, combined with the unique, raised horizontal camera layout on the back give the phone a really modern, high-end look and feel. Overall, I’m very happy with the Pixel 7 Pro!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera on this phone is absolutely phenomenal. Clear crisp photos with no editing or retakes needed. It’s beautiful. The phone also has a beyond generous battery life, with all day use it still has a decent percentage at night, I could likely go two days before needing a charge but i’m in the habit of plugging in my phone when I go to bed. It’s comfortable in my hand and looks sleek and nice. It’s performance is great, quick to load apps and sites and haven’t experienced much lagging or crashing. The wifi drops more often than my iPhone did but not sure if that’s a phone issue or my wifi issue. The phone itself is user friendly and intuitive even though i’m more accustomed to iOS than google it hasn’t been difficult to lean and switch which is a relief. Overall i’m very pleased with the performance and features of this phone for my everyday use- social media, email, lifestyle apps. I don’t use it for gaming much or heavy business/work apps so I can’t speak to that but for everyday use it’s wonderful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the last year I've had a s22 ultra and a pixel 6 pro. This phone is definitely better than both in my opinion! Size and specs are the same as a 6 pro but A LOT of bugs I was dealing with have been fixed on the 7 pro. The camera on this phone is absolutely out of this world! The fingerprint sensor on the screen works flawlessly and very responsive! I do wish the made the screens on the phone a little bit bigger but that is just a personal preference. This phone has kept my hopes high for pixel phones and I will continue to use them happily!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife is using this and loves it. The phone is quick and the camera is amazing! Sound quality is great from calls to music and the screen is bright with sharp colors. We also really like that she has a larger screen with the pro but it isn't overly cumbersome in her hands.
