The best phone I ever had!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best android phone I've ever had, it has so many small extra tools built-in the software and the assistant is incredible, what can O say about the camera and the video they are better than iPhone's, the quality of all the material is made of is amazing considering what you are paying this is a steal, from now on I'm just buying pixel phones.
I would recommend this to a friend!

hands down, Best Phone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best phone I have ever had. The image quality is amazing, and the screen is edge-to-edge, to really make the viewing experience pop. Battery life lasts 2 days with good use, which is much longer than average. Most of all I like how slim yet well-built this phone is. It feels so premium in your hand, and perfect size

Game Changing Phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mobile device is a rock star! Referring to it as a phone would not do it justice. The first thing I noticed was the speed of the phone... moving from app to app is super fast. Next was the camera. The camera is the best that I have used with some much clarity and life-like photos. Also, the look and feel of the phone is super sleek. It makes me not want to use a case, even though I will to protect this bad boy. Highly recommend this device for android lovers or those ready to make the switch!

Great Phone. Exceptional camera.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's difficult to review this as a package. It's a very powerful, high end computer. It's also a phone, an entertainment device, and a camera. I don't really want to write a novel that people won't read, so I'll focus on what I know and leave the tech specs and whatnot to those who get into that sort of thing.
I find that the phone is very responsive. There's almost never any kind of lag no matter what I happen to be doing. If I'm streaming a video it's crisp and sharp. If I'm playing a game, the controls are ultra responsive. If I'm scrolling the internet, it's smooth. The extra ram in this device is self-evident.
I've never owned a phone that has a rounded bezel screen (I think they call it a waterfall edge?). It's definitely very attractive.
As someone who used to be a professional film photographer and has more than a few high end digital (and film) cameras rolling around his house at one time, I have to say I'm impressed with this camera. The tech-minded side of my brain knows you can stuff a great digital camera inside of a phone, but the photographer side is still very surprised at how fun and easy it is to shoot with it. Early winter here is drab and not very dramatic, but I've been shooting some great macro shots in my neocardinia micro shrimp tank. The sharpness of the image and vivid colors pop right out of the frame.
The three things I found that were not exceptional with this phone are sort of trivial, but might be a deal breaker if they're important to you. I listen to a lot of music on my phone. I really like keeping a large capacity SD card full of music on me at all times. The Pixel 7 Pro has no expansion memory. The internal memory is already nearly full, so I will have to be careful to trade up music I want for music I'm not listening to.
The gorgeous screen uses up a lot of juice. The battery doesn't hold up to heavy use. I'm not sure it should honestly, but I've gotten used to a battery lasting me at least a day. I can make sure this does last all day, but that means I'm turning the screen brightness down and not using it as much.
I also had to switch carriers in order to use this phone. I'm not sure who is responsible for the phone not being supported by my normal carrier but whoever they are, they dropped the ball. I'm sure it'll be supported in the future, but right now it was disappointing. Do a bit of research before bringing this phone home. A little googling could have saved me some minor upset.

Pro level phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this phone for a couple of weeks and am finding it very comfortable for one-hand use, not slippery, and not a fingerprint haven. Initial phone setup makes it easy to transfer data and apps especially if you have a google account. The eSim is great because there is no messing with inserting the micro sim card. Battery life is good, left with 30% after a full day and half of normal use with no gaming or videos. The telephoto lens is awesome so no need for an additional camera. The camera is crisp and clear. colors are vibrant and rich also. Unblur works the best and the magic eraser takes out unwanted things, long exposure is another great feature. This phone is excellent.

Great Android Phone
on November 17, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pixel 7 Pro is my first android phone in a long time but not my first pro level smartphone of the year and I found it to be a good phone. The phone is large but still narrow enough to fit in my hands well. The curved screen makes the phone very modern but it does get getting used to when holding because I found myself accidentally swiping by just having a finger accidentally touch the edge while holding it. It also makes finding a case to truly protect the edges difficult. I think a sticky case is essential for this case to be comfortable to hold without fear of dropping it. The camera takes good photos and the screen is really crisp. The operating system does take time to learn and is not as intuitive but it is amazing to have so much customization available.
The Obsedian color is basically the black colorway for the phone. The camera bar and side edgings are a dark gray aluminum, while the back and edge of the screen is black. It is the classic and safe color choice that looks nice even if not particularly eye-catching. I am glad it is a true black and not just an off black or dark grey. The black does tend to show a lot of smudges but I think it really needs a case so the color doesn’t matter much.
Perhaps not new to veteran Pixel and android users but refreshingly to me as a new android user is that this phone uses USB-C. We are finally moving toward some uniformity which hopefully will reduce the number of cables and chargers. The phone comes with a USB-C to USB-C charging wire but no charging brick. As expected, there isn’t a headphone jack, which is annoying when I own several wired headphones and an adapter is just not as good or convenient.
I found the battery to be fine and decent but not amazing. It can last all day with regular use but I do have to charge it midafternoon with heavier use and anticipate being out and about at night. There weren't any surprise drops in the battery. On the other hand, I have become used to very little drop in battery with heavier pro level phones that I don’t find the battery on the Pixel Pro 7 to be that impressive. I suppose the battery is one of the compromises for a lightweight phone. That being said, the battery is not at all terrible and much better than those of the past.
The phone is fast and I didn’t have any issues with lagging. It can open applications relatively fast and is smooth. I did find that the phone runs slightly warm especially when playing video, games or wireless charging. After the initial few days, the phone didn’t run as warm anymore but it is still running slightly warm during certain extended uses. I have only used it during moderate chilly weather so it is not clear what will happen during the summer or in winter climates.
Overall, the Pixel 7 Pro is a good android phone and an excellent choice if you are an android user. I don’t think it is the best pro level phone but it is really great for this operating system.
