My wife and I have been using the Pixel 7 pro since it's release, and we honestly love the device. We highly recommend it to anyone thinking about getting one.

[Thommadura]

My family bought me a Pixel 7 Pro to replace my easy to use small Flip Phone that had nothing wrong with it. It took me 2 months to figure out how to make a telephone call. Apparently there is no place around me that offers lessons in Smartphones (I am 85) but it sure would be nice because I will never figure out all of this stuff.

[ToxicMoJo]

I've had P7pro for about a month now and it's been great. I took a break from Android and had an iPhone for last five years and it's been so refreshing being back and this device has a perfect welcome back to Android for me. I was a nexus user and owned every one of those that came out. The pixel was definitely going to be my phone coming back to Android.

[preston_s.]

I like the curved display, personally. It looks nice and feels even better. But I understand why others might not like it.

[fazilkhan]

Glad you are back. Upload more on your channel rather than howtomen and android police 😅

I've had a Nexus 5 a Pixel 3 and I'm currently using a Pixel 7 Pro. I've been very happy with all my phones and I really can't see switching to anything else. It's not so much the hardware or the cameras that I like but the software. I like the idea of pure unadulterated android with no skins or embellishments. Each phone that I bought I've purchased directly from Google. Nothing makes me grind my teeth more than the idea of verizon or ATT putting their apps on my phone then not letting me remove them. That's one of the things that annoys the hell out of me about my Tab 7a I think it is. There are samsung programs on there that I don't use and I will never use but I can't delete them. If I could I'd wipe the memory and put a risc version of linux on the tablet or a plain vanilla version of android, but I digress. For me the biggest selling point of the Pixel phones is the software and no extra crap from phone companies.

[oneminutewonder]

I prefer the curved screen, they make the gesture navigation feel so much better in my opinion. Not to mention they just feel more premium to hold. I don't like the idea of Google getting potential praise for going back to utilizing a cheaper display. Think about it, sure if you drop your phone a lot they cost us more to repair...but that means it's a more expensive component. You already know Google aren't going to pass the savings of a flat display onto the consumer either

Been using the 7 Pro since December. I love it, just my biggest gripe is that I wish the software was more customizable. Sure we have launchers for that, but still.

Just ran across your channel. A+. Your content, narration, and visuals are so refreshing. Def excelling past Marques, and some of the other heavy hitters out there. Keep it up.

[fasolaandrea]

Nice review, subscribed! I'm loving my 7 pro so far, coming from a 2xl, which made me one of the first to use a pixel phone here in Italy. Cheers!

[jakesyoutubezone]

3xl slaps, the notch was a non-issue and having the wide angle for selfies made it genuinely useful in lots of situations. Textured glass back was luxurious and the 1440p OLEF was great for content. Still mad about the bad rap it got from techtubers.

[AutumnSage]

Im one of the few people who love curved displays, i use edge functionality on my phones pretty much for every interaction with my phone.

[shehansaverimuttu]

My pixel 7 pro battery life in terms of SOT for QHD+ is around 5hrs(on average) and sometimes even 4. Changing it to 1080p helped me a lot. I get high 6hrs of SOT but it's still far from your experience. I've been using the phone for more than 1 month now. Something I've noticed is either some users get really good battery life or meh, quite interesting.

[midnight_yota]

I have the pixel 7 pro and my girl has the regular pixel 7 and she actually is jealous of the curve on the display. She says the curve makes it feel like it's thinner.

[thebigdogg]

I just got the pixel 7a I always wanted a pixel because of how easy it is to get a good photo every time you take a photo, and I watched a few blind camera tests and to me photos consistently looked better on the 7a, the finger print scanner has been fine for me I haven't noticed a problem yet

[CoolTies]

I've owned the 7 Pro, but in the end, I prefer One UI, and I'm loving the SGS23 Ultra. Still, the 7 Pro is perfect for most people who aren't Samsung sheep like me 😅

[motivationpositivity]

watching the video from my pixel 7 pro 😍😍 I really recommend it.

[theirregularadventurers]

i got the pixel 7 pro at the original price, but i preordered it. so i... got the watch for free. I think that's still one of the best deals even after half of year since launch. i kinda love this phone and didn't stumble over a lot of the issues people are complaining about. i hope it just gets improved and better with time especially in the camera department. Yes pro mode would definitely be nice, and definitely portrait video needs a good amount of retouch. Also from what i noticed the most battery drain is in the camera department so i'd love to see less battery drain in the camera app (obviously with no camera performance shortcuts). I am not that upset with the pro camera missing (even though for me that would be the most significant and desirable feature) because RAW file format for capturing photos is there as a compromise for the missing pro mode and in fact you can get some awesome and amazingly fine shots in post.

[jatin.c]

I absolutely love your videos. There are only a few tech channels which I love to look upto for daily tech updates and you are one of them. Would love to see more videos from you.

I've had the P7P for about three weeks now, first time user of a Google phone. Pretty smooth, feels premium but there are some things I'm not a fan of. Speakers aren't loud, wish I didn't have to use Nova launcher for better customization. Battery charges slow as well. Still a good phone. Currently, still use my iPhone 14 Pro and S23U more at the moment. Nice review, new sub!
