Google Pixel 7: Better than Pixel 8 in 2023? Pixel 7 Battery and Performance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2023
- A lot has changed for me after Pixel 4a and as everything has a story to tell this one is about Pixel 7. But, where I am coming from pixel 4a to pixel 7, I feel a huge difference in day-to-day usage. I am missing the form factor of Pixel 4a and 3 years with Pixel 4a was worth every penny. But the fact is that pixel 7 has enhanced my experience to a different level.

Great review and it's great that you respond to comments!
I have also upgraded to Pixel 7 from my 4a on this BBD. I would agree with you on a lot of things. Although I miss the form factor of 4a which I used for almost 3 years, I can say that Pixel 7 has definitely enhanced my Pixel experience.
Y didn't u wait for the 7a
@@jamiesplinter8758 the pixel 7a's display is 6'1 inches, the pixel 7 is 6'3. Its not even nearly comparable with 4a's 5'8 in display. Also the savings for getting 7a is like $50, it's not worth it.
Network issue hai kya??
Jio sahi se chalega na?
@@Jawan269 Mein toh Jio use nhn kar raha hoon. But mere dost log karte hai Pixel 7 mein. No issues..
What I have found is if you switch the mobile data to LTE over 5G, a lot of the efficiency issues go away. I have had all 3 generations of Tensor Pixels and this is how I have used them all.
What settings can I use to do that cause I have a Pixel 8. Great 5g bands but I don't need it. 5g works perfect where I'm at plus NYC has a lot of free WiFi Spots. I'm trying to stretch my battery time even further.

I am doing the same, and after changing it to LTE i haven't faced any heating issue and India 5G is very unstable for Pixel
Subscribed. Good content bros. Keep making good stuff
Nice! Was Looking for a recent P7 video & you delivered.
Thankyou for watching!
@@TheWayISeeThings how long you have been using your pixel 7?
Almost 5 months.
I got a Pixel 7 when my Pixel 4A's EoL approached, my observations of around half a year usage:
The lack of headphone jack hurts.
I still push my finger on the back for fingeprints by habit.
The camera bar gathers dust and dirt easily.
Overheating was a literal pain in the early days, now it's not a problem.
You're right about it guessing your thoughts. The newest update introduced a suggestion to enable Wi-Fi calling (I know it existed before) but I toggled it since the phone recommended it. It's a lifechanger.
The photo editing features like the smart eraser are fun party tricks.
It has some seriously loud speakers.
For quick photo taking: pull out of pocket, doublepress power button, and your're good to go, it's noticeably faster than the 4A where the photo app lagged just enough for the subject of the photo to disappear.
Overall for Pixel users I recommend it. It got over it's teething problems and is now a stable and perfectly usable phone with some nice "AI" gimmicks.
True , sometimes when I tap on the back for the fingerprints sensor it takes a screenshot😁😄
Ah forgot to add a weird problem: when using face unlock you couldn't use wireless payments.
Don't know if they fixed it, but I am wary of face unlock since then.
@deimiosxxx I’ll test that in my next video soon. Stay tuned.
How do you think has the heating issues solved? Is it with OS updates or after phone started learning ur usage patterns
@the_nomadic_ajith Usage pattern aspect was there but initially , but it has improved after Android 14 and some more issues were fixed after 2 updates (Nov and Dec).But it depends, there might be some applications which I am not using and the issue still persists.
Thank you for your review on Pixel 7
how did you get the white balance, exposure and shadow slider on preview? after updating to pixel camera 9.2 they moved in the buttom part of ui. which doesnt feel so comfortable. so let me know how did you get on screen
I don't normally comment on youtube. I had the pixel 7 with android 14. Screen kept on going night vision green when streaming netflix or Disney+. After many factory resets it kept on happening (alot of complaints of my issue on reddit also). Ended up selling it and going back to oneplus.
Yes, indeed, but It's solved (for me at least) in the latest update
Enjoyed the video, well presented 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
This is a good review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I used the pixel 7 for a year before i upgraded to the pixel 8 and though they are similar you can tell the pixel 8 is a step up in pretty much every way
How was the battery life experience
@@momin1491 That's also the only thing I'm not quite satisfied about my pixel 7. I had a pixel 3, then Sony Xperia One II, battery life was OK at first, and of course it also become terrible after one or two years. And now Pixel 7, battery life was "good I guess?" at first. Then at most a year later, it became "just OK".
If I'm travelling and want to take picture I would definitely bring a power bank, or I risk not being able to use my phone at night.
I really wish there's a phone that I can just heavily use it without worrying about battery life, like having 30 hours of screen on time. Then I know after 2 3 year, it would still have 15 hours of screen on time
Great review
great intelligent review
keep rocking!....
You deserve atleast 100k subs
Best of luck to you
Thank you so much 😀
Coming from pixel 5 to pixel 7. Still love my pixel 5..
Why you are not consistent on your channel bro you have good personality and the content to deliver.
On it already , Thanks!
The only issue I have is I can't switch data between two Sim on the toogle menu
thx for good review, i try to upgrade to this phone from sams a32
I am planning on geting Pixel 7. But I'm seeing people complaining about battery life and heating issues and connectivity issues as well. PLease suggest me if I should go for it or not? PLease...
Which charger should we use with this ?
Apple 20W charger ?

Please share the wallpapers you are using!
Can you share the links of the wallpapers?
Great video 📹 👍 👏
I'm in Canada 🇨🇦 and i rather pick up the Pixel 7 vs the Pixel 8 just for price difference alone!
Battery 🔋 will be perfect for me all day no problem!
As i dont game at all on phones or record or upload videos to social media.
Software updates till October 2027 🥳😎
i use pixel 7 pro
advantages
clean software experiencen (no forced trash apps)
feels premium
display is superb for the price range of 70k ( now still 5k reduced for this year)
camera ( though i don't use much, but the processing is unmatched)
google assistant is best ( most used voice command ' switch off the alaram')
i love curve display
disadvantages
heating problem
finger print recognition is slow or not able to identify 50% of time
heavy in weight
initially it had problem with c type wired earphones. but it is optimized and working properly. still some times it pauses the video.
i use Vodafone sim-card. initial call connect is not proper. i need to drop and recall. this happens often.
Hi Bro, Thankyou for the detailed explanation.
Is the phone offering an unlimited google photos storage? as i heard this offer for pixel phones?
I don't think so , check this out : support.google.com/photos/answer/10100180?hl=en#:~:text=Manage%20your%20storage-,Important%3A,more%20about%20your%20storage%20options.
Not anymore last one was pixel 5
He just spoke the truth
If iphone has 60hz in price of 80,000 it's ok.
If android has 90hz
In price range of 40-50k
What the h*ll
That such a bad display
These people are just too......😂😂😂😂
Wow! Very detailed review! Thank you! Maybe you can help me decide between pixel 7 or huawei p50 pro :)
Huawei P 50 pro is much more in terms of hardware than Pixel 7 .Pixel 7 is for the pixel lovers, amazing software and AI magic. I am not very sure about long term software support, but Pixel 7 is now on Android 14 and will get 15 and 16.Also there are close to 4 more years of security updates. I hope this was helpful.
@@TheWayISeeThings Thank you for ur answer. I guess I will Huawei phone :)
the lock screen wallpaper?
can you tell us more about connectivity issues......as in almost all the reviews of pixel this is issue is mentioned.......like suddenly changing connection from 5g to 4g...also not getting proper network etc......where other budget phones performs better in such situation.
That is true. I currently have Pixel 7 and having dropped calls and network issues.
Pixel phone have network connectivity issue specifically with jio only. There is no problem with airtel & Vi.
Very good, great opinion, I am thinking of buying a pixel 7 to start in the pixel world, is the mobile good for these heights?
I have pixel 7. I don't recommend it. Slow charging, bad samsung modem and less bright screen major issues for me.
@@SriSri-fo2je From everything I'm reading, they are like 50/50 between positive and negative comments, I think I better wait for the launch of the OnePlus12 globally
Normal using 1 hour any heating issue??
How r pics of indoor human colors???
After my boyfriend bought a Pixel phone, thinking that a cheaper solution after Samsung can be just as good…we started to get constant headaches and now we identified it is from this phone. After researching online I could see that several people complained for this. And the cause is not the screen as me who is not the Phone owner I still get a headache. This phone is not safe and now we just want to get rid of it..
How is signal strength - any issues?
Battery /Heating issues?
The battery is fine and the heating issues are very less compared to the initial phase. Signal strength is better when I compare to pixel 4a and I haven't faced any such issues even in underground metro stations.
Thanks for sharing your insights. I am planning to get the pixel 7 moving from my xperia xz1 which is over 5 years old now 😅. Regarding the yellowish tint, I've heard the same said by others. Some have suggested turning of the auto calibration and that seems to help. Have you tied that ?
Wallpaper link please 🙏
GSM Arena has rated the battery life of the Pixel 8 just under 90 hours. Even the Pixel 6a is better. Will these battery saving tricks vastly improve the device's battery life? Will it easily help me get just over a day use and between 5-6 hours of screen on time minus playing games or non stop streaming or navigation?
Saving tricks will not change things drastically but will easily take you throughout your day and you can easily charge it. Its personal preference and depends what you are looking for , I am peculiar about software and fun features and this phone is full of that. If you feel you want 1 day plus battery , then iPhone 15 plus is the best phone in terms of battery.But its another price segment.I hope this was helpful 🙂
@@TheWayISeeThings I'm more of an Android guy so I'm avoiding the iPhone. I'm thinking of getting a new Pixel 8 or go back to a Pixel 6a (which apparently has better better life) or maybe a Xperia 10 v with far better battery life but with less 4G/5G bands in general. Any thoughts?
@imonewiththeforce316 you can go for the Pixel 8 as it is a much better phone than 6a. To save battery you can use 60 hz instead of 120 hz sometimes.

Overheating during video recording/video call has been an issue since original pixel. Phone becomes unusable after 20 minutes of camera usage. I have used a pixel 2 before and it always had overheating issue during video call. Otherwise the phone is great especially the software, iphones are too bland and other android phones don't really use all the smart features but pixel always shines in this area. My favorite feature is that it can detect songs playing in the background without you doing anything.
wowowowow
How much did the Pixel 7 cost you? Now it is available with offer for 43k, should I take it or wait for further price drop?
Without exchange, it cost me around 35k. With Offers it will cost you around 40k and with exchange 2000 more discount. See if it works for you. But I feel this will further go down and you can also wait for Pixel 8a if you are not in a hurry.
Pixel 8a looks good but bezzle is too much...planing to upgrade my Pixel 4 to Pixel 7 pro or Pixel 8 in Flipkart BBD sale...which phone would i pick??
8 should be the better pick out of those. Long term support is 7 years in 8 , whereas 7 pro is left with just 2 major Android updates.
@@TheWayISeeThings thanks 😊
What about unlimited photos and videos storage in 4a and not in pixel 7.
No unlimited photos in pixel 4a too
which variant you used? and subscribed
Which variant as in ??
@@TheWayISeeThings like usa variant, Japan variant??
India
1:35 i love the pixel 4a i still have it .i want to change tye battery
Same!
I played 50k at launch price and USA launch price 650$ we get buds free
How to off camera sound any solution???
Silent your phone
which one for 33k? moto edge 50 pro or pixel 7?
Moto edge pro is a better phone overall with better hardware. But from a software and camera perspective pixel phones are superior.You can decide based on your priority. Thanks for watching!
@@TheWayISeeThings already have a switch and pc where I play games on, only need a phone for day to day tasks and camera, that's why I'm preferring to go for pixel 7, I'll wait till I get a good price and I already know I'll install graphene os after new android updates stop coming and since google provides great support for custom roms I have slight bias towards pixel.
@azhanheheh If you love it go for it and it is the same for me towards pixels.

2022 Phone Of Year S22 Ultra -Mkbhd
Phone of the year was Pixel 7 MVP in 2022 and this year it is pixel 8
Which phone should i buy a pixel 8 or Samsung s23
Pixel 8 is better.
Pixel 8
How well does the camera work with Instagram and Snapchat? And how's the battery drain on these apps? Also talk about wireless charging, Bluetooth and wifi connection and most of all is it the Best Successor to the Pixel 4a? Also do a comparison of pixel 7 to pixel 7a.
from pixel 3XL im thinking of moving to pixel 7 pro..... in 2024
From and still pixel 3, thinking of moving to pixel 8.
I think I will miss the autofocus in the front camera....
@@emilioblanco1789 one thing which amazed me the most is the refresh rate.. and off course the camera
Should I buy Pixel 7 now or wait for Pixel 8 price to drop? I use phone long term. Currently on OP7T.
Even if the pixel 8 price drops it will be around 55k to 60k. Pixel 7 with exchange offers on Flipkart will cost less than 30k. Pixel 7 is more value for money currently but Pixel 8 is 10 to 20 percent better than the pixel 7 overall. In the same range as pixel 8 you can also look for OnePlus 11 or OnePlus 12 (upcoming with snapdragon gen 3).From a long term perspective on OnePlus's hardware is better than pixel 8.If you love software Pixel is a better choice.I hope this will help you to decide better.👍
@@TheWayISeeThings Thanks bro. 👍
As per the 91mobiles website, Pixel 7 SIM2 (eSIM) doesn't support 5g. If it's true, it's a deal breaker for me and might have to go with 7a. Can you confirm?

Which phone is more better in camera i phone 13 or pixal 7
Apart from Selfies , the overall pixel 7 is much better than the iPhone 13.
@@TheWayISeeThings actually me phone buy krna chahata hu so kon sa purchase kru 13 or 7 ??? Please help..
Pixel 7 is much better in comparison to iPhone 13 unless you are an iPhone /iOS fan.If you take selfies a lot it is good in iPhone 13. If the camera is your only priority the iPhone 13 is slightly better. But overall pixel 7 is better. I don't like the 60 hz display of the iPhone 13.I hope this is helpful.
I AM GETTING MAD ON DECIDING BETWEEN MY FIRST FLAGSHIP, S23 & PIXEL 8. MY PRIORITY COMPACT SIZE - GOOD BATTERY - BEST CAMERA FOR PRICE. I AM A CASUAL USER, MOSTLY ON CALLS, SOME SOCIAL MEDIA & 4 - 5 UA-cam VIDEOS. PICTURES ARE CLICKED OCCASIONALLY. 16K OFF ON PIXEL 8 RIGHT NOW. WILL THIS PULL ME THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I HAVE HEALD THE S23 TOO. IT ALSO FEELS WARM TO HOLD AS THE PERSON WAS ON CALLS ONLY
Based on your requirements Pixel 8 will be much better than S23. Pixel 8 Camera with AI features are no match.For all casual users Pixel phones are really good.
@@TheWayISeeThings what about the network issues, call drops that people are complaining. It it still there
@@MrDagaji frankly I haven't faced yet.Even I traveled to remote areas and reception was good there.There may be 5 to 10 percent difference if you'll compare side by side with iphones or samsung flagships.But it will never impact you to an extent where you are struggling for network reception.
@@TheWayISeeThings thanks for all the reply
Im gonna get a pixel 5 5G is it still okay in 2023?
Pixel 5 is no doubt a good phone , but Pixel is all about software, only compromise is that you won't get any updates now on pixel 5.
Snapdragon would be a.better choice than Tensor.

does 128 GB fall shorts ?? 256 version shd be launched
For me it's fine, but based on usage maybe people need more.
Only 5.5-6 hours screen on time on wifi is really bad. I'd hate to see what it is on mobile data.
5 to 5.5 hours I get easily in a 5 g network. But if you are a heavy user you can drain it a lot faster with Sot of 4 to 4.5 hrs.
@@TheWayISeeThings that's pretty bad.
Should I go for nothing phone 2 or pixel 7
The camera and software features are better on the Pixel 7 , hardware wise Nothing is slightly better than the Pixel 7. Rest is your personal preference.
Pixel with Exynos, sorry, tensor is trash, the end.
There are those of us who prefer manual transmissions
I even prefer Manual transmission in the car.
sir is there any network problem
I haven't faced any till now , I can say wifi is sometimes not best when compared to iPhones.Otherwise it is manageable.
ok thanks for your reply@@TheWayISeeThings
Yes. Many times I end up restoring back to 4G/LTE because of the crappy 5G modem in Pixels. For example ICICI bank's iMobile App won't work when I'm on 5G. It will only work on 4G/LTE
Thats the main problem most of the banking apps not run stable on pixel 7 due to network problem . hope google pixel 8 will be more stable
@@JaganMohanMukkala
I regret buying a GOOGLE Product. I won't recommend pixel devices to anyone. Just got the pixel 7 on 13th July 2024 and my device has a green tint issue from the very first day. After contacting flipkart about the issue they asked me to got to the service centre where the service advisor told me that they'll be sending the phone to Noida and the whole process would take around 15days. My point here is that It is not mentioned anywhere on flipkart or google that their service would take these many days. Pathetic service by google and flipkart.
Won't recommend anyone to buy a pixel device. Rather go for Apple if you need better after sales service in future.
My pixel 7 trip off ,
Watching it in my pixel 7, Really worth it!!
5.5 to 6 hr screen on time is a disaster !! and on top of that we have the overheating issue ! That's a deal breaker. What's the point of all the AI "features" when you cannot make a efficient stable chip

Watching This Video On Pixel 4a Button.
As a heavily disappointed Google Pixel 7 Pro user I won't recommend Pixels to anyone because of the very same reasons the OP mentioned here. Come on a 75K phone won't work properly on 5G and heats up like a hotbox even when doing basic Instagram surfing. Phone temperature exceeding notifications are more than my regular notifications. So, you can imagine my situation here. BTW I am not even a heavy user. Just a casual user with occasional Camera user. That's it. But Pixel 7 Pro not even doing those basic tasks without making me frustrated. So a BIG NO for pixels from my end. Except Camera that too excluding Videos, this phone is waste of money I say. Just for pure hard core Pixel fans.
For exemple, in my country there is no 5g yet and no heating problems on lte. It's an excellent phone but not for everyone I agree
Just because your country doesn't have it doesn't mean you can't say it's not a phone for everybody you are paying for a feature. It's the equivalent as paying for $120 Hertz on a pixel 7 pro and there's no way in the software to enable it then. What's the point of paying for this? Google has these issues but they never choose to address to which makes me pissed off. They use the old s***** Samsung modem that causes the phone to overheat and drain battery. A crappy tensorship set which sucks and has the same issues with slight improvements every year which makes no sense. And lastly, they're charging $1,000 now for the pixel 8 pro in the US and other countries when the experience is not on par compared to other flagships that cost around $1,000@@Marko-qe1qs
If you don’t pay for 5G, just turn it off
very great review

I agree, pixel phones are not trouble free and there are few compromises we have to make if you love the software.
I already have my Pixel 7 for over a year and I don't have those issues. It's working like a charm. Better than my previous iPhones I had.
I had the same issue one day did a restart and never had the issue again
December update fixed it. Also it happened only if you had auto brightness on
It happened to one watching a UA-cam video in full screen outside with auto brightness. Got scared an restarted the phone and traded in for a pixel 8. It had diciembre update for Android 14. Many said it's software other say it's hardware I don't know.
