    Product Description

    Meet Google Pixel 7. Powered by Google Tensor G2, it’s fast and secure, with amazing battery life and the advanced Pixel Camera for beautifully authentic, accurate photos with Real Tone and stunning video with Cinematic Blur. Plus, it’s Pixel’s most refined design, made with recycled materials.[11] LEGAL [1]Compared to Pixel 6. Speed and power efficiency claims based on internal testing on pre-production devices. [2]Works with all major carriers. 5G service is carrier dependent. Requires a 5G data plan (sold separately). 5G service not available on all carrier networks or in all areas. Contact carrier for details. 5G service, speed, and performance depend on many factors, including carrier network capabilities and signal strength. Actual results may vary. Some features not available in all areas. Data rates may apply. See g.co/pixel/networkinfo for info. [3]For “over 24 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Average battery life during testing was approximately 31 hours. Battery testing conducted on a major carrier network. For “Up to 72 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). Battery testing conducted on a major carrier network. For both claims: Battery testing conducted in California in mid 2022 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the “up to 72 hours” claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower. [4]Measured diagonally; dimension may vary by configuration and manufacturing process. Smooth Display is not available for all apps or content. [5]Not available for all camera apps or modes. [6]Coming soon. Restrictions apply. Some data is not transmitted through VPN. Not available in all countries. All other Google One membership benefits sold separately. Use of VPN may increase data costs depending on your plan. See g.co/pixel/vpn for details. [7]Earbuds and watch sold separately. Requires Pixel Buds Pro connected with Fast Pair to a device with location history enabled. Requires Google Pixel Watch to be connected to a compatible device. [8]Designed to comply with dust and water protection rating IP68 (for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro) and IP67 (for Pixel 6a) under IEC standard 60529 when each device leaves the factory but the device is not water or dust proof. The accessories are not water or dust resistant. Water resistance and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and will diminish or be lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. Dropping your device may result in loss of water/dust resistance. Liquid damage voids the warranty. See g.co/pixel/water for details. [9]Requires Google Photos app. Magic Eraser may not work on all image elements. [10]Some third party apps and data may not be transferred automatically. Visit g.co/pixel/copydatahelp for information.

Actual results may be slower.

    I have owned the phone for about three weeks now. Reliable...good signal with AT&T and can't say enough about the phoneProCamera is stellarSound quality is superbGreat screenFingerprint reader is reliable. Takes awhile to set up but once done...worksBluetooth is solid...paired with 5 different bluetooth items I have including 2 carsOverall performance is fastNewest Gorilla glass-Victus5 years of security updates...three years of OS updatesStereo speakers have good volume without distortingConOnly 256 GB of space...wish it had 512 or moreCan't add a Micro SD cardDoesn't come with a battery chargerOverall, the Google Tensor G2 is a pretty fast chip. I am not a big gamer, so it does more than enough for me. For gamers...you should be OK.I get two days out of the battery...keep my screen brightness at 66% and disable apps I don't use.Purchased the 30W Google battery charger separately...charges the phone in about an hour (ran down to 5% battery remaining). Chatted for better than 4 hours in one day and only consumed about 12% of the battery...The photo quality of this phone is excellent. I have owned other brands of phones that were good, but this phone camera is amongst the best. Zooming with any camera causes pixelation, but the cameras on this phone cause minimal. Colors are rich and sharp.If you want a top line phone without breaking the bank...the Google Pixel 7 is a GREAT option. Google has become a great competitor for top line phones that cost twice as much.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Opinion from a former iPhone user
    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Before into the Pixel 7, I have been using an iPhone12 mini for 2 years. And a Samsung Note 9 before that. Why I chose the iPhone12 mini? Because I wanted a real compact phone. And Why I bought the Pixel 7 now? Well, 1. I want better battery life. 2. I want bigger screen for games and for navigation. 3. IOS just bored me.

    So, I got the Pixel 7 lemongrass 256g for 599$ and have been using it for a week now. And here are my opinions.

    In short words, if you have been using Android and want an upgrade now, I really recommend Pixel 7, mainly because it gives you good software experience and decent camera at a very fair price.

    Exterior & comfort:
    The color lemon grass is special and I like it. The visor camera bump looks unique and kinda cool in my opinion. The rounded edge makes the phone comfortable to hold. HOWEVER, there are some cons. 1. The bump and the glass back make it awkward to place on any flat surface. 2. The bump is a huge dust collector. 3. Although the edge of the flat screen has a bit of curve, the transition to the metal frame is not good, which means the touch of the edge areas feels a bit cheap, definitely not comparable to Note 9. Overall, I think the look is unique but comes with some sacrifices, and the build quality is fairly good for the price.

    Operating System:
    This is the first time I use the so called "pure" Android. Compared to Samsung's OneUI, the OS on Pixel 7 feels more like Apple's iOS actually. It doesn't have as many customization functions as OneUI and is simpler to use. Kinda like iOS, but in a different style, well, the kinda nerdy Google style. If you like it you like it. Some special Google AI features are cool, but should not be the only reason for anyone to buy this phone in my opinion. I haven't experienced many bugs. Actually, only one when switching between bluetooth audio devices that really bothers me a bit. Overall, I like the system, and I think it is good for anyone but people who have only used iPhone before.

    Camera:
    Pixel has always been famous for its camera capabilities. I must say it is true on Pixel 7. It takes very decent photos no matter the light conditions, and the shoot experience is simple and natural. Is it as good or better as flagship phones like iPhone 14 pro? I don't know, maybe not. But as someone who uses a dedicated camera for street photography, I think the camera on Pixel 7 is more than capable to take nice looking daily photos and capture those little moments into good memories. When it comes to video, it is also good, especially considering the price, but iPhone is better. And I mean iPhone 12 mini. So overall, the camera is very good.

    Battery life:
    Not much to say here since I don't bother to do any "tests" and have no numbers. But based on my feeling, it is good, but not as good as I expected considering the battery capacity. It will last you a full day (8 hours) or more if you use it lightly. But it is no way a two-day or 1.5 day battery life.

    Gaming:
    Gaming is trash. At least for pubg mobile. It is probably due to software issue (not optimized for Tensor chip) rather than lack of raw performance. But if you play a lot of 3D mobile games, avoid this one.

    Conclusion:
    Decent phone for the price. Actually, even for the normal price ($100 more than what I spent), it is still more than decent. If you don't want to spend that much on a phone (which is a terribly stupid trend in my opinion), this is the phone for you. Don't look at iPhone SE, that thing is a joke.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wary of battery life
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2024
    Size: 128 GBStyle: Phone OnlyColor: ObsidianVerified Purchase
    Owned this phone for around a year at this point. Overall it is excellent, no complaints on the software side, Google has definetively polished a lot of the experience and its not a hassle at all to use, it has a fantastic camera and for the average user it works perfectly fine. Although it lacks a proper pro mode for people that want to use it a little more professionally, but the image processing is good enough to not have a big need for it.

    In terms of build quality it also gets a lot of points from me, it feels solid and even after a few unfortunate drops it has 0 visible damage.

    Now my one complaint, the battery life on the tensor chip is not... great. It won't drain in a single day but its definetively lacking in that area, lasting me around 2 days of use on a full charge. The most annoying part personally is the fact that it drains a lot even while just bieng on standby, like for example when going to sleep the phone will lose around 20% charge while doing nothing. Just something to be wary of, because otherwise its probably my favorite phone that I have owned.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Better Value than a Galaxy S23
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2023
    Size: 256 GBStyle: Phone OnlyColor: ObsidianVerified Purchase
    I'm coming off a Galaxy S10 and before that an LG G6. I've also purchased Samsung A51 and S20 FE's for my parents. To get the negatives out of way. Side or rear mounted finger print sensors are so much more consistent. Samsung also provides a lot of applications that can be pretty nice like their SoundAssistant app where I can change how the volume button increments/decrements.

    Using the Firefox app, I can do screenshots that scroll the page on the Samsungs while on this Pixel Mozilla needs to update their app to implement the Google API to support scrolling screenshots and there are probably other apps that I would be able to do scrolling+stitched screenshots on the Samsungs but not this Pixel. There are other things like more options in the long press context menus that make doing things faster on the Samsung compared to the Google Pixels.

    Default launcher on the Pixel has this full width data/weather/info widget that you can't remove. It only takes up a little less than a third of the width of the screen. It is a waste of space. If I need the date, I just swipe open the notification menu. Weather, I used the Google weather widget on my Samsung Galaxy but the smallest one that takes up like 2 horizontal app icon widths so I can fit 2 more icons on the row. The button to clear all in the task switcher, you have to swipe all the way to left end rather than just having it always there as a lower row under the application windows. Annoying

    Every default launcher these days do gestures for going back and opening the app/multitasking switcher. I've tried for years and always go back to enabling the bottom menu with the back, home, and task switcher buttons.

    Gaming and emulation performance on the Qualcomm based Samsungs are a lot better. Samsung provides 1 more year of support compared to Google. Honestly almost everything is better with a Samsung phone than a Pixel. But they are expensive. If I do get into phone games and emulation more though, I'll probably go back to a Qualcomm based Samsung device unless the future AMD GPU Exynos Tensor have drivers as mature and with application developer support like Qualcomm chipsets do.

    Outside of all that, aesthetically it looks really nice. They made the buttons in the notification menu way bigger (slower to use than the industrial looking small icons in the Samsung default launcher). Only fits 4 quick actions before having to swipe down fully to get 8 quick actions - swipe left/right for more. For some reason google combined the wi-fi and mobile networks toggle into one so you have to click it, then click the radio button to turn off the wi-fi. Some of the notification collapsing into applications make some app notification utilities more annoying to use to

    The fingerprint reader. You may have to redo your fingerprints a couple times to get it well responsive. It's good for me now. Still fails far more often than my previous phones. End up having to use pattern unlock.

    Google lens is nice. Fast to get to do the camera point at stuff and it translates. Could already do that with the Google Translate app on any phone. I'm happy with the battery life. I know it's better on the S23. I've gotten used to this 6.3" disaplay. Not sure if I'd prefer a 6.1" display. Phone is real smooth besides games. Tried DraStic, Citra, and Tower of Fantasy. Tower of Fantasy performance is not great. DraStic and Citra have surprisingly crashed on me.

    I was thinking I would hype this phone up compared to Samsung phones but it hasn't worked out that way. The main thing is really the aesthetics of the phone. I suppose the camera is nice and faster but I have Sony A7III and for photos compositions matter more than gear. I'm not blown away by camera performance compared to a S10E or what I see from people with iPhones and newer Galaxy phones. Low light performance is definitely miles of an upgrade over an S10E. Still, photography is all about composition and lighting and what you do in Darktable/Lightroom.

    I miss the 3.5mm port. I use bluetooth in the car for a different device so I needed 3.5mm adapter to connect audio to my car. At home my bluetooth audio is a class D amplifier and over ear Sony noice cancelling headphones. Sometimes I'm laying down and just want to put on some 3.5mm earbuds. I need another USB-C to 3.5mm adapter so I don't have to keep remembering to carry the one in my car everywhere. I don't think I'll get over the loss of 3.5mm jacks because of how much audio equipment I have. I'm never buying those Google Airpod knockoffs nor the Samsung ones.

    After having this phone for a month and then writing this review, I don't notice the visual UI aesthetics anymore. It's not truly a plus for me anymore. I've gotten over it. It's a good phone but Samsung does an extra year of major OS and security updates over Google. The Google Tensor is already not as good as Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 let alone the 8 Gen 2. I can wait one year and potentially buy the 1 year old Galaxy phone with a better chipset for the price of a new Pixel. Buying this 256GB version for $600 when the Samsung S23 was going for $800 is nice though

    Wanted to overall positive with the review. Still really good phone because modern phones are all overall hit all the basics - even the cheap phones. If the future Tensor processors with AMD GPUs aren't competitive with Samsungs in gaming/emulation support, the only reason I'd be buying a Pixel is the price.

    Compré este equipo para mi hermano por medio de la tienda Wireless Expert Inc., todo bien en cuanto a envío y embalaje. Yo sabía que mi hermano es alguien a quien le gusta mucho tomar fotos y por este precio y en esta gama de dispositivos, en verdad no creo que haya algo mejor, lo conseguí alrededor de los 7,400 pesos MXN y en verdad que el dispositivo no decepciona, es fluido y bastante confiable en todo aspecto, con una cámara increíble. Tal vez un punto a mejorar sería sólo el rendimiento de la batería, que si bien no es mala, creo que podría ser mejor.

    Great phone, came brand new in box without any imperfections or defects. Has a great battery life, charges up quickly, great screen and sound quality, overall an amazing phone for the price. Pretty comparable to a Samsung.

    My only issues stem from the Google UI being rather unintuitive and needing a 3rd party app to make it more suited to my own needs. The finger print reading is hit or miss and most times I just end up putting in my pin because it wont read.
