    You can use navigation without internet connection because gps works with satelites. You just need to download offline maps for your local region

    Probably the best review of the Pixel 7 I've seen yet, thank you! You appeared to do an honest and un-biased review and that is much appreciated, especially in this world of Samsung and Iphone snobs! It's very refreshing to see someone who realizes you DON'T have to spend $1,000-$1,800.00 for a smartphone with near flagship features and specs! I got the (standard) Pixel 6 when it was released in the Fall of 2021 and really thought it would be a device I would keep for at least 5 years, but the Pixel 7 has enhanced the workings of the phone and upgraded just enough of the important aspects which will have me upgrading to it this Fall. Once again, thank you for the excellent review!

      I have the pixel 7 pro coming from Samsung for the last 10 years.
      Im in love, stock Android is beautiful, no bloat, the phone is 100% butter smooth.
      The battery is okay but I only have this phone since 1 day, apparently AI will enhance the battery life over time.
      Also this is the only phone where I ever used adaptive brightness and it's amazing.
      But yeah since I have a 26.000 mAh Powerbank from Anker with 65w pd I never need to worry about battery life anyways, I can recharge the phone over 4 times with it lol.

      I have an unlocked North American Pixel 7 pro; a GREAT phone; BUT BUYER BEWARE. Google perhaps stupidly or in a self-defeating manner, blocks 5G connections to much of Europe and Asia. If you are a mobile warrior or professional who travels often.... AVOID this phone as well until Google addresses this outrageous issue. My friends with Iphones and Samsungs do not face the same issues.

    I prefer to buy phones that are "failures" over phones that are "successes". In the last 18 months I bought a new iPhone SE 2020, a new Samsung A53 5G and a Pixel 6a at half price for different members of my family. I got them all for half price because they had had poor reviews. There is nothing wrong with the design of any of these 3 phones.

  • @beatonthedonis

    Only major negative I've had with Pixel 7 is lack of 5g support in my country (absolutely ridiculous). Minor negatives - had to buy new PD charger because old charger worked sometimes and then didn't. Picture-in Picture for UA-cam only works via browser work-around, and weirdly via the app for one obscure UA-cam channel that I spend most of my time with. This is common to most Android phones now because Google wants you to pay for UA-cam Premium, but my old Honor still allows it.

Really enjoying it so far, its a big upgrade over my outgoing Xiaomi Mi 9t (although that was a beast in its own right.)

I'll buy refurbished. I bought it refurbished excellent and it is excellent. It looks brand new. I'm blown away by its features. Its features are not on any other phone. It is a very flagship phone. The consumer has missed the game up like a iPhone. It's made in China. It cost about $80 to produce and people will pay $800 and it's not worth that. No phone is worth that

    I love this phone it's so fast and has badass features, I just got mine brand new a week ago but the battery life on it is the worst out of the past few phones l've had. I even turned off all the background processes I could, use adaptive battery, even with standard battery saver mode turned on it still drains like none of that tweaking I did to save battery even mattered. What's weird is I spent a day messing around on the phone before I moved my SIM card over to it from my previous phone and that whole day the battery would barely go down AT ALL, but it was like as soon as it had actual service once I put my SIM card in the thing drains battery like it's life depends on it. Any tips would be great, but I'm pretty sure l've already done most of the battery saving tips possible from combing Reddit and google, and I'm pretty tech saavy in general and I've even stopped other unnecessary background process bloat through developer options. It's like there's literally nothing else I can change to make the battery last longer to my knowledge that I haven't already done. And what's worse is even when I go to sleep when the phone is locked and not being used I'll wake up to it to find it drops like 20% or more just sitting there locked overnight l've never had a phone drain that bad while not even using it.

    Ive had a pixel 7 dor many months now and i dint think its worth the £450ish i paid. Ever since the latest update I've had a massive problem with battery drain while using 5G. If its turned on tye mobile gets extremely hot too. Never used to be an issue.
    The finger print sensor under the screen isnt great. Reularly doesnt recognize my finger print and only works in one particular way despite having mapped my entire finger print. Also if you use at night and you dont get your finger print spot on the sensor you get blinded by the bright white light.
    Also annoyingly if using a 4 PIN code as backup into phone instead of unlocking when you enter the correct 4 numbers you have to then press the confirm button which is an extra button. Doesnt sound like it should be annoying but it is when you have to use it quite often.
    Facial recognition to unlock mobile isnt great either. Basically my Honor Play had better ones of each of these and that mobile is like 5 years old or so.
    Also finger print sensor doesnt work when finger gets wet so out in the rain or even after a shower when the fingervis dry its hit n miss.

      @@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904 I have the Pixel 7 and the speakers are quite bad, thin sounding and with distortion on higher volume. Many other owners have the same experience. They really sound cheap. My point of comparison is my old iPhone 12 and it sounds much fuller.

      I don't think they're bad actually. Just not too impressive either, pretty regular I'd say.

    I’m just confused between the Pixel 7 and nothing phone 2. Currently I use a Pixel 4a which is great, just that battery has aged and I am not getting a full day battery life.

      I plan to do a Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 comparison video but that being said, the camera on the 7 is for sure solid and in most cases I dont think you'll notice a difference between the two. Not to mention the great price you can now find it at :)

    They finally admitted they are using an exinos chipset. We knew this since Samsung makes the phone. But they tried to say tensor was in house made. It never was they use the overheating and power hungry exinos chips. They are not any good. Pixel 10 is supposed to actually have a Google made chip.

      I just read that, thanks! Well that's a bit deceiving... Using Samsung foundries is one thing (No one actually produces their own processors), but the chip basically being an Exynos is another lol

    Is it worth upgrading to pixel 9 from pixel 7?
