I think regular 7 is more attractive. Love that flat screen (and don't care about 2K) 🙂

Honestly the Pixel 7 series was the phone I hoped the Pixel 6 became. A bit polished and got all the features I wished on the Pixel 6 have. I'd go for the Pixel 7 Pro because it's a best all rounder and definitely for that zoom. That's my vote.

I wish the regular 7 had the telephoto camera.

My phone is an MP3/MP4 player with occasional browsing/shopping and occasional texting and calling. The P7 is all I need. The P7 pro is more like a premium version of the P7. I love my P7 and it gets me through the day just fine.

I have the 7pro because I'm a tech enthusiast but for the common civilian lol ...I usually recommend the P7 or even the 6a!

I got the P7P with the 256 Gb of storage upgrade for a total of $700, bought directly from the Google store along with changing carriers to Google Fi. The phone's and network's performance have been stellar.

I'm sure I'm in the minority... but I actually think from a usability standpoint, having a screen with a subtle curve is nicer to use with Android's back gestures. I used to be Team Flat Screen all the way when the curves were more extreme and palm rejection was terrible. But I've come around, and I actually think the curve on the Pixel 7 Pro screen is perfect.

Having been a android guy for so many years I tried an iPhone 13pro and used this phone for just under a year. And yes the iPhone was a fantastic phone and video quality is totally unrivalled but since moving on to the new pixel 7 pro I certainly won't be looking back. It does everything I want it to do and more. As for photos it's unbelievable. I don't tend to use the video much but even that is a pleasure to use when needed, maybe not just yet up to iPhone standards but certainly getting there. I'm more than happy with this purchase. I think android once again has won me back 🥳

Pixel 7 - easier recommendation for the mass
Pixel 7 Pro - for those who need a more complete camera package

I just picked up a Pixel 7 via upgrade. Came from an old LG Stylo 6. I am having to readjust going to a smaller screen, but Andriod 13 compared to Android 10 on my old phone is night and day, plus the Tensor is leagues faster then the MediaTek in my Stylo 6. Worth the upgrade and extra money. I wanted the 7 pro, but it was alittle out of my budget. I am enjoying Google branded phones. I had the OG Google G1 so for me I guess I have come home to my roots. I recommend the Pixel 7.

I'm trying to decide between the 7 and 7 Pro. This video was so helpful!

I spend so much time taking photos on my phone, I'm basically looking for a camera can make phonecalls. 😂

To that end, I think the Pro is worth the extra £s for me. 😊

[A.H-bricks]

Think it will be the 7, but i do think i will miss the extra lense and maro featur from the pro. But the price is like under half the price compared to the pro 😅

Had the Pixel 7 Pro for less than 24 hours. Screens with curved edges are not for me. In addition to distortion of pictures/photos and videos at the edges, in many situations, a line of light reflects along the edge and is not only distracting, it obscures the picture/video there. Returned the phone.

I learned I cannot live with a phone with curved edges. Many people agree. Give me a Pixel 7 Pro with a flat screen or a Pixel 7 with the camera's of the Pro.

I want a Teenage mutant ninja turtles edition. Green phones with blue, red, orange and purple camera housing 🤣

Running into this channel again was so nostalgic, I used to watch their videos all the time back in 2015ish, haven't seen a single video from them in several years

[Matt-gfgd]

Option C: wait a year and buy a pixel 7 renewed on Amazon for $190, then do the same in 2-3 years with the pixel 9/10 and effectively get 2-3 'new' phone upgrades for less than the cost of one new phone.

[bettatalks]

I listened to everything on the Pixel 7, since it was within my budget. But the lack of Macro killed me, I stopped there, as I love the Macro on my OnePlus 9 currently.

Android Authority but still wearing an Apple Watch... That speaks for itself.

[andreaserik]

Thank you for jour help. I was really struggeling with choosing which one to buy.
