It's funny how people seriously consider throwing away a year-old phone but praise Google for its 7-year update support.
exactly
Correct!
Prior to owning the Pixel 6 Pro, the 2 phones I had before that, I ran with for ~3 years each. The Pixel 6 Pro was problematic for me, so I purchased the Pixel 7 Pro a bit after it became available. The 7 Pro has been a solid phone for me.
I got my 7 Pro back in May of this year. Yes, it has a few issues, but I've really enjoyed using this phone. I can't put it down.
Can you name the issues? I'm planning on buying one too
@@nakrenjam I had an issue with screen flicker, but one of the updates fixed it. A little lag, but it's here and there.
@@adamschulte5903 I'm thinking on getting one just for the camera. I have a 16GB OnePlus 11 lmao. I know it sounds like a stupid change, but I really like the P7P periscope.
Now, I'm reading lots of people complaining about the P7P...
Great long term review of the 7Pro. I went from the P5 to the 8Pro, absolutely loving it!
Coming from a Galaxy S10, I'm extremely happy with my P7P. I don't see a need to switch until the 9 or 10. I did that with Samsung too, ie i went from S3 to S5 to S7 to S10, before switching to Pixel.
Honestly, I feel the same way - I came to the 7 Pro from an iPhone 11 Pro and I will admit there were some hiccups in the first months. Now though the experience is actually really good. Obviously not as fast as an Apple A-whatever-they're-on-now-Bionic but in real life when you're not running benchmarks it's smooth/fast enough to where you don't care. Unless Apple does something dramatic/interesting to win me back from here on to the next 5 or so years I'm sticking with the Pixels (also a guy who likes to keep his phone for years at a time)
Thank you 🙏, may I know a battery health ? After prolonged use ? I don't see such a test by UA-cam reviews? Would be great to see ☺️
I started out with the pixel 3 then went to the pixel 6 Pro then the pixel 7 Pro. All have been great phones. I don't plan on upgrading until the Pixel 10
Exactly the same here fam, I even got my mum and my ex a Pixel 3 XL, and they both loved it!!!
I had a bunch of bugs with the Pixel 7 Pro. It got ironed out now with Android 14 but I can't get over the fact that Google offers a low ball trade in for their own phone. Horrible resale value.
Good chance to buy second hand or previous version pixel phone. Insane value.
Very true. I will give the Pixel 8 Pro a shot, 2nd hand for 1/4 of the price in a few months. But no way am I ever paying full price for a Pixel phone. Specially when Google itself won't give you a good trade in value for their own phone.
This is the thing. When I got my Pixel 7, I nearly didn't do it. I was coming from a 3xl. Pretty much in prestine condition. Before the preorder at best I could get 150.00 for it. Then when the preorder opened up they bumped it to just under 300.00. with that I was willing. This go round Google kept being stingy. So I looked and laughed at the ridiculously poor trade in and said nope I'm good for now. Google you can't be considered a flagship device maker and not offer better trade in on your own products.
I just wanna comment that you can turn up the volume on your speech and do some EQ - it's hard to hear and quite muddy. thanks
Bro can u suggest me , I find a pixel 7 pro 12/128gb which is sim locked, it's a brand new and the price is 400$. I am fine with WiFi, my question is ,is it a good deal under this price?
Just upgraded from a 6a to a P7P, I originally wanted to wait until the release of the 8a to upgrade, but Amazon was doing a killer deal on the P7P this week so went with that instead. I am not disappointed.
Ive had my Google pixel 7 Pro for about 5 months now. I upgraded from an Iphone 11 Pro Max and i have to say im both extremely pleased and disappointed with it. However, most of the issues I have are 100% fixable and with google being so focused on software, I trust that they eill be fixed. I dont see myself upgrading my device for another few gears.
Im still using the pixel 6 my only complaint is that it consistently loses signal if go to the lower level of a building with thick concrete walls.
i have owned multiple units of the 7 pro had a great experience owned a 7 and ive been daily driving the 7a for a about a week now its been such a solid choice for me im going to keep it for years to come
what made you own multiple units of the 7 pro, and even eventually daily drive a 7a? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I'm just curious.
@@why_tho_ His imagination. Dude probably has a budget phone from Xiaomi, but he tries to look cool by saying that he's owned a few units of the same phone. He ain't that rich to waste money
I have the Pixel 5 and with the Black Friday deals at G Store the price of the 8 pro drops to $799 I’ll go with it
Thanks for making and sharing this video, all other videos just want people to buy the new phones every year
happy with my p7p. android 14 (more specifically the betas) have done wonders. I may consider the p9p. didnt even bat an eye at the p8p this year.
Your missing out p7 pro to 8 pro is a major major jump I don't just test a phone a few hours I use them daily for months to years
@@dword492used both phones, it is not, stop spreading misinformation for the hype, you're just inappropriate, let the people do whatever they freaking want with their own money and needs.
7 Pro owner here. Was still happy with it overall. After it sustained damage, Google replaced my Pixel 7 Pro. Took advantage of the situation and sold it, as i could ask more than others as it was new. Going to upgrade to the 8 Pro with discount from my carrier and it will only cost me €150 at the end of the 2 years. I wish I could upgrades to the new gen for 150 every year
(Yes I know I did spend 300 to get Google to replace the device, otherwise I was left with nothing)
Im currently owning a pixel 7 and wondering if I should upgrade to the 8. In honesty the phone is still great but this new trend of leave out older generation of phones of new features is something that really annoys me.
If you buy the 8, because of their software locks it will just incentivize them to add more
You won't notice a difference
@carstuff4u942 in the end, I bought the pixel 8, and the difference is noticeable.
Hi
I am new to Pixel
Pixel 7 pro or Pixel 8 which one should i buy ?
in my country both are same price(offer time)
If you want a really good Camera with 5x optical zoom, go for the P7P. If you don't care about cameras, go for the P8
I love the phone but mine keeps crashing somtines 5-10 times in a row cant get any signal anywhere the battery is awful and takes ages to charge
Just got one refurbished straight from Google tester for about $250. Last Pixel was a 6a that I got rid of in favor for an iPhone 13 Pro. I'm hoping it's good, since for that price, you can't really do any better. The $900 Google still asks for it now is way too overboard.
How is the condition of the phone? ,did you get it from Amazon?
Upgrade? This phone is my upgrade!
Good to wait for the 10Pro with their own silicon chip
That's when it will get interesting. Since TSMC will be making it on a greater die shrink. Then we can decide if Google is going in the right direction.
For me the pixel 7 pro has been a fantastic phone for me. The only difference I've seen between the 7pro and 8pro is the display, and better cameras(which the Pixel 7 pros cameras are no slouch) the 8pro does feel a little better in the hands but it's not quite enough to upgrade at least for me
I got the 7pro its lot of problems.. speaking of problems i just had to rest my phone cause my screen started flickering. Smh
Im doing payments with Verizon and i about tired of this phone so i got to hurry up and pay it off and get me something else.. i think im going get Sony Xperia V or the Asus rog phone
I plan on upgrading from pixel 7 pro to the pixel 12 or later
I upgraded to the pixel 7 pro last year, mine and my wife's. Mine has had no issues, my wife's stared flashing green lines on the screen, I returned it, the second one did the same thing, had to return it. I was very dissatisfied, but this was my first bad experience with a pixel phone, after having the first pixel then the pixel 3. If it wasn't for the batteries dying after about four years we'd still be using the pixel 3. Google needs better quality control.
I respect your standpoint but I'll respectfully disagree.
The 7 Pro was way more of an iterative upgrade than the 8 Pro. Tensor G2 was basically G1 with a slightly better modem. The screen was the same power-hungry, low-end LTPO as the 6 Pro as well. Only the ultrawide camera was improved.
I love the Pixel software so much but was so annoyed by the 7 Pro's battery, thermals and optimization that I got the 8 Pro immediately when I saw the positive reviews, and man does this phone fly. It never gets hot for me anymore, the battery is better, the flat screen is a joy, Tensor G3 actually behaves well, the screen is way brighter and less power-hungry, the cameras are amazing, and the phone feels much faster.
If you have the money, it's 100% worth it to upgrade. I'm usually not a person to recommend a 1-year upgrade because I'm planning to keep this 8 Pro for at least 3 years now, but the 7 Pro was not a great flagship, just a good one.
I so much agree with you on the battery point!
I myself like everything on my pixel 7 except such a disastrous battery.
Ditto 💯
Totally agree I did the same
Fair enough but I can say my overall experience was drastically different from yours. Bought a Pixel 8 Pro on Amazon and what it turned out to me is: same user experience, same heating issues (despite it got better on the 7 Pro with Android 14), same camera picture quality, slightly improved video quality, same battery life, same gaming performance, same fingerprint sensor reactivity, same supbar SoC in raw performance compared to Qualcomm.
Literally the same damn phone with minor improvements.
Screen does look brighter but not a reason to spend that amount of money when you already have an identical phone, also I don't care about the 7 years support since I usually upgrade my phone every two years, and the 7 Pro by the way is still getting 5 years of feature drops and patches.
I returned the 8 Pro, got my money back and picked up my 7 Pro again, gonna be spending those money next year, maybe.
the brighter display on the 8 is a washed out display, it looks awful at full brightness. The 7 has a better camera , google messed up on the 8
At the beginning of 2022, I started using my Pixel 6 Pro after a long wait time due to the chip shortage. I really loved that phone, and I took it with me to Vietnam and Singapore later that year, when travel restrictions were eased.
However, in May 2023, I dropped my Pixel 6 Pro while travelling in Japan. I contacted Google support about it, and they gave me two options: repair it at an authorized repair shop (which thankfully, there was one near the Airbnb I stayed in), or get a Pixel 7 Pro for 20% off.
After going to the repair shop near the Airbnb and the train station, I found out that despite the weak yen, it would still cost the same to repair the phone stateside as it would in Japan (around $300). So I chose to get a Pixel 7 Pro for 20% off (for the 512 GB model, I spent under $1000).
no one will keep a pixel for two years let alone 7 on that exynos chip..
A useful video for the 5 people who buy these garbage devices from Google 🤣
Honestly they are not garbage but keep on trying to satisfy your iPhone 15 pro purchase since you got brought into the Titian hype when it's just the same shit as last year, and the os looks the same as it did from 11 years ago lol, yes I am saying iOS 17 looks the same as iOS 7
0 problems with 7 pro and 8 pro, keep trying bro.
6😉
But reddit says tensor is trash, battery lasts 4 seconds and no one can make phone calls. Could reddit be wrong ?!
Hey you read my post thanks. 😜 Seriously that's all Reddit is at times, complaints complaints complaints.
