[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.

Exceptional!

[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!

Absolutely gorgeous, insanely fast

[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!

Incredible Design and Features
on November 21, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this phone over two weeks ago and have truly been impressed by everything from the screen resolution, responsiveness of the OS, image quality and image editing features, and the uniqueness of the design of the device. You can read all the reviews online about the features in more depth and detail but I have to say this phone hits the spot. The image quality is remarkable. Even better is the ability to edit photos after the fact by adding a portrait blur, unblurring images, or using the magic eraser. The magic eraser is probably one of the coolest photo editing features I've experienced in a while. You simply circle/highlight the area of an existing photo you want removed and voila, it's gone! Additionally, the unblur feature is really neat too. If your hands aren't steady and the image seems blurry or distorted - you can "unblur" the photo, which also works surprisingly well. I also haven't used Android OS since it's infancy and am truly impressed with how snappy and responsive this phone is when opening/closing apps or changing pages on your home screen, etc. The OS is uncluttered and visually attractive. The Pixel 7 Pro is also devoid of any bloatware that carriers or manufacturers may add to other devices. The screen itself is remarkably clear and bright and doesn't ghost. The response time of the screen may be less than some other devices, but it was plenty fine for me. There are reviews talking about how the battery is unimpressive - I'm not sure what those reviewers were doing but if you use your phone for work (e.g., Outlook, Teams) and personal (e.g., Instagram, Reddit, texting) - I can tell you I get about 18-20 hours of life before needing to charge it. Also another cool set of features is how you unlock the phone - you can set it up to recognize your face or if you're wearing a mask or something you can also use the under screen fingerprint reader. Both ways of unlocking your phone are fast and I find it convenient to be able to use the finger print reader as I travel often and sometimes that requires wearing a mask. Overall, I've truly been impressed by this phone. I tried hard to think of something negative to say since everything above is so positive but I couldn't think of any complaints. I truly enjoy using this phone and recommend it highly to anyone in the market for a phone that is feature rich that will bring some enjoyment to your life in an area that's been stagnant for some time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the phone for about a couple of weeks now and I’m very please with it. Came in packaged well and unboxing was easy to remove everything. After powering on the phone, setting it up was a breeze. The operating system is fast, loads apps and games fast, video watching is very clear, takes amazing pictures and love all the features you can edit pictures. Love how the screen covers the whole phone. Phone size is perfect for people with big hands. Great sleek look!!

Great features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed with my new Pixel 7 Pro, this has so many great features! Out of the box it is simple to setup and get running. It feels lightweight, yet extremely durable. The materials used are top-notch and the design is perfectly suited for both casual and hard-core users. I have found the call quality to be easy to hear on my end and be understood by the receiver. There are many ways to adjust the settings to your personal liking. I didn't care for how letters show up because they are a little larger than I'm accustomed to, so I switched to a new font size. The differential in lighting is a vast improvement from anything I've experienced. It provides illumination that is easier on my eyes, yet more distinctive. Taking pictures has brought me renewed joy, I think the cameras are outstanding. I can get caught up in tweaking the different filters and effects, but thankfully this provides some amazing presets that provide professional looking photos. The battery life is phenomenal, I tend to spend more time on my phone than most people and have noticed the impressive duration as a noticeable quality. I can easily communicate through the keyboard and perform menial tasks with ease, making my necessary responsibilities quick to complete. It frees me up to have more fun and explore different ways to enjoy my device. The processor is fast and I feel this phone is super responsive. I've let a few close friends play around with it and everyone has been complimenting it so far. I would highly recommend this phone to others!

Excellent smartphone with innovative AI features
on November 22, 2022
Posted by: MHATX
from Austin, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using a non-Android phone for about six months, I was anxious to end my suffering. I read about electronic devices for a living, and the Pixel 7 series caught my attention as soon as it was announced. Seeing the positive press about the new devices and seeing how happy my wife and mother are with their Pixel 6s, I decided the 7 Pro would be my next phone. Unlike my previous phone choice, I definitely made the right call this time.
Even though smartphones are phones, I don't think people pay much attention to that essential functionality when choosing a device. People, myself included, often prefer other forms of communication because of the pain points involved with making phone calls, particularly when calling businesses and getting stuck going through a seemingly endless series of menu options, only to be put on hold. I am thankful that Google has put effort to improving the experience with Direct My Call and Hold For Me to make calling businesses less painful. On a related note, the spam filtering and call screening features also work well.
One of the biggest the features I pay attention to when purchasing a phone is the camera, and the Pixel excels in this regard. The images are sharp and the colors are accurate. While I predominantly use the main shooter, the wide angle with macro mode and the telephoto lens are great to have. The photos in daylight are wonderful, but where the Pixel truly differentiates itself is in lowlight situations. The ability for night sight to pick up colors and details barely visible to the naked eye is seriously impressive. The additional AI features with the camera, such as magic eraser and unblur, are also nice additions.
The Pixel 7 Pro is a nice looking phone that feels well made. I typically opt for black phones, but I really like the Hazel color to change things up. While looks are important, comfort is more so. Google chose rounded edges that make the phone comfortable to hold rather than straight sides with sharp edges that make it uncomfortable in the hand like my previous phone.
The screen is large, sufficiently bright, and the curved glass give it a nice feel. Speaking of feel, I was concerned that the phone's size would mean I wouldn't be able to use it with one hand, but its slim and rounded design actually mean I mostly use it with one hand for things like web browsing and typing.
As for the operating system, I am a big fan of Android and the attention Google pays to user experience, with its customizability and excellent notifications system. However, it would be nice if there was an option to remove the search bar from the bottom of the home screen, but this is not a big deal.
Setup and moving all of my apps, messages, photos, calendar, etc from my old device to the Pixel was very straightforward and quick, allowing my to be up and running on it in about 20 minutes.
The battery lasts me a full day with average use, as expected, and the charging speed is about average. Improving the battery life and supporting higher-speed charging are areas for improvement, but the current battery life and charging speed do not take away from the experience.
I understand Google did not design the Tensor 2 chip to be the most powerful mobile processor on the market, but I have found it to perform well in day-to-day use, such as rendering websites and moving between apps. I am not a gamer, so I cannot comment on how it performs in that regard.
In all, I am very pleased with the Pixel 7 Pro and foresee getting years of use out of it.
