Love my 7 Pro. I'm surprised Google took $345 for my 4a 5G. And there was a $150 off of the Pro when I got it, so I cannot complain about the price.

I had pixel 2, 4 n 5. I was skeptical about 7 because I was using iphone 12. I never liked iphone but got one because my wife has one. Got pixel 7 love it.

All these damn bot retarrds on here. They make it seem like the phone is the worst phone in existence!!!! As of 3/27/2024 I get 9-11 hours SOC time with my pixel 7. Android 14 is awesome on this phone. Cameras are still great. Charges up decently fast (23watt wirelessly) My castify case does not make the phone "slick". Overall great experience coming from a samsung s23 user. Dont listen these bot comments bashing the $hit out of pixel7.

I have and love my 6 Pro and will be buying the 8 Pro whenever it is released

Nice review man, good info as well, thank you so much.

[WorldGoneKrazy]

Thank you. Smashed my screen on my beloved Pixel 4a, so I just ordered a Pixel 7. I'm sure I'll see a big difference. Thanks again for the review.

i wish they had the fingerprint unlock on the back, it is so intuitive to hold the phone and press with your index finger on the back.

[alifurqan]

I bought Pixel 7 one day ago and it's getting extremely hot even with minimal apps, no back cover case, and no camera usage. After 10 minutes of use, it gets really uncomfortable to hold it in hand. Very disappointed.

[ilibraci]

I bought my pixel 7 as my first phone from Google about a month ago and I couldn't be happier.

[hichamboukhatem]

I'm an intensive smartphone user, the wise decision I made this year is buying a Pixel 7 pro, I feel satisfied at the most of situation specially the Software ❤️ the same satisfaction I got when I left Iphone madness and sickness like the most fanboys for Huawei before the US ban I was satisfied of the switching and perplexed after the US ban, what to buy next after 3 years with my P30 pro which i still having it beside my pixel 7 pro still stunning and powerful phone after 4 years of use big up to Huawei
I was afraid of going back to the iOS jail, till Google saved us I bought a Pixel 7 pro 256 GB, my friends mostly latest IPhone's and Galaxy's Fanboys are like ''wooow you have this feature! so cool I wish I can do that on mine to 😭'' some of them even asked me to sell them my P7pro or make an exchange with them, I'm like '' hell no, you can buy one it's out there'' Google nailed it I'm waiting for the next move on the Pixel 8 series, what will Google brings more ?! exciting

Switched from iphone to pixle started at 7 and I love it. Android is new to me a lot to learn. But I like the battery the size and the fraction of the iphone cost. Camera is good.
Bad things:
There are glitches. My phone sometimes freezes when I try to open it. Sometimes it freezes when I use it. It doesn't happen often it's just a little annoying. Overall I like it I will continues to stick with googles phone.

[stumpytheviolator]

Been looking at a new phone, something decent, I normally run around with the cheap disposable phones, my old job as a miner, there was a boat load of phone casualties.
The Google Pixel is the phone that's been catching my eye.
It's not overpriced like the new Galaxy or iPhone, it seems to have better features.

[stockrbot]

Just as a warning to new owners, get a screen protector immediately. The glass on the 7 is pretty hard to damage, but the slightest crack will cause the screen to go completely unresponsive.

[willbrink]

I didn't like the phone at all and returned it. Face unlock worked maybe 50% of the time, the OS is clunky and not intuitive at all, etc. Disappointing.

[Buffnerd_i]

Loving this device so far, the best i've had.

[filip]

Only thing I miss with my 7 is double color on the back...wish they brought it back

[psps]

4:05 Yep, glass is slick...That's why tires and roads aren't made of glass 😁
What was your point? Is this particular glass glassier than other phones'?

[cobaltblue]

I just got mine and it's amazing I have a variety of Samsung and pixel and now even iphones I have to say the pixel 7 is now my favorite

[ACasualCustomer]

The deal breaker for me is the size. The phone is still too big. I have a Pixel 5, so going to the 7 is a no no. I hope the Pixel 8 is smaller like some rumours suggest
