Here where I live you could get a pixel 6a for around 300$, so it really is a big difference when thinking about how much it offers compared to the pixel 7 lineup
Exactly! He had went and said that if you get the 512GB Pixel 7 pro variant that it'll come with 12GB of ram which is incorrect because even if you get the 128GB Pixel 7 pro variant, it'll still come with 12GB of ram.
True, it’s too tall. iPhone mini had the perfect screen size, too bad Apple sucks massive cocks. Best android alternative is the Asus Zenphone 9 with its 5.9” display. Only downside is Asus promised software support of only 2 years, oh and Asus is a shitty brand
I'm regularly getting a day and a half battery life on the Pixel 7, used between 3-5hrs per day, phone/video calls, mixed media and light gaming. It's very subjective and very much depends on how you use your phone and how often. This guy is a fringe/heavy user (doesn't even specify his average screen on time during the video). If you assume his screen on time is really high (5-8hrs per day), that would put him in the 80th to 90th percentile of users.
Software updates recently have helped the Pixel 7...fingerprint sensor seems to be a little better, the auto brightness is better too at least on mine. I have it running nova 7 as well and the phone is fast and snappy. No real problems except for that Fingerprint sensor.
@@reachzer0868 i disagree. I think the fingerprint sensor is really fast and reliable. I've never had problems with mine and to top it off, it's way faster than the pixel 6 pro fingerprint sensor
Pixel 7 pro 10/10. Used S22 Ultra, used many OnePlus phones, just never used an iPhone. However I don't think any phone on the market beats the Pixel 7 Pro. Camera is absolutely gorgeous, HDR is amazing, the zoom is phenomenal.
Same here.. used s22 ultra but it was below par to me. And now I traded my s22 ultra for pixel 7 pro and it has been a perfect mobile I have ever used. Even fot battery life I'm getting around 9 hours Sot where on s22U I used to hardly get 4 -5 hours Sot
Takes more than just a camera to sell a phone. If you're unlucky enough to experience software or hardware issues good luck dealing with Google Customer Service Tech Support.
I got my P7Pro on a contract... $450 for the phone... 5/10. Screen is absolute shite. Battery is complete shite with only 3 hrs screentime per day, even after a month (they say adaptive battery stuff kicks in after about 2 weeks). I've done EVERYTHING I can to change that for the better, I'm not even going to type the whole list (ask me for it haha). I have the idea that for this price they send me a bad one? But wth, the seals were still on the box... On the other hand, I love the camera... That's all.
I just got myself a Pixel 7 Pro one week ago. So far the experience is really-really good. I just noticed few bugs that some might be interested to hear before buying: - There is a slight animation stutter/lag when unlocking with fingerprints from the not awaken display, when your AOD turns on and you unlock device from this state. I found a workaround for that. In developer settings there is an option 'Animator duration scale' if you set it to 0.5x lag is gone. - There are sometimes inconsistency with swiping motion, when scrolling feeds for example, same finger swipe will sometimes give either very fast scroll or will scroll few inches. Doesn't happen very often, but when it does it's kinda annoying. Tried changing different settings, results are the same. Multiple topics on different forums confirm that this problem is widespread. No workaround still. Hope next update will fix it. - Inconsistency with back gestures left and right. When trying to go back you have to swipe all the way from the edge, like almost touching metal. If you go all the way from the edge, it works consistently. But if you try to swipe back few mm away from the edge it will sometimes work, sometimes it will just scroll your app horizontally or will do any default swiping action your current app is set to. Came from OnePlus 7 Pro with same curved display and had no similar problems with that. I guess there is a need to increase range of swiping detection Battery charging is slow compared to other flagships. It is good for a battery in a long term tho. Could be better if charging speeds would be on Iphone level at least. Othen than that great phone, very fast, outstanding camera, video is doing good too, not Iphone levels good, but gets the job done.
@@trainerred5366 around 20-30% on average, but it depends on how often I use it. If it's a working day, I don't use phone so much, only in the morning and at lunch, so in the evening I still have around 60-70%, few UA-cam videos at dinner, maybe 1 hour of Netflix and some light games and Reddit before sleep will leave me with around 40%. Phone drains around 5% idle and 3-4% if put in "bedtime mode".
Went with the regular Pixel 7. Absolutely in love with this phone. Thought I'd hate the size coming from a 4a but I got accustomed to it almost immediately. Only gripe with the phone would be the optical fingerprint scanner which has been pretty bad and inconsistent thus far
I agree, the pixel 7 has really charmed me. I managed to improve the fingerprint scanner by adding my thumb twice, might just have been luck but worth a try.
@@mizukane7247 Yeah, isn't it amazing ? I don't think I can ever go back to a phone with a smaller form factor aha. I actually tried the same thing as you in an attempt to rectify the fingerprint scanner issue but I've been unsuccessful sadly. I've registered my thumb four times if I'm not mistaken lol.

The only differences are the things normally only "geeks" care about. More often than not it are also these same geeks willing to shell out the 300 more. Also in Google's defence, you can get this phone for under 800 now which is a hell of a lot cheaper than anything it's compared with.
Thanks for the very nice overview!! I recently got the P7, a bit reluctantly as I had to give up my S9 which I really liked. The new Google eco environment takes a while to get used to (and I still miss Samsung email). I decided for the 7 and not the pro because of the size. I must say that looking at the telelens I wished I also had that. In terms of battery life, the P7 is doing much better than the S9. Today I have been shooting a lot of pictures, put the phone on battery saving and came in the hotel with a bit more than 50%, the editing in Instagram however did eat up so much that I am now at 5%.. On other days I sometimes had 1,5 days to 2 days, without battery saving turned on. So yes, a bit better battery would be nice. I did not hear you about the AI in the P7 or P7pro. I thing that sometimes the AI is working a bit too hard for the pictures. You can restore things a bit afterwards by increasing sharpening and details, but I wished that Google also had a option for turning on AI only 20% or 50%, so maybe for the future... What is your experiencer in this area? Yet, now after 2 weeks I am quite satisfied with the P7 though.
@@pokuspilatus i believe the s9 has iris recconiction, thats why they do work in the dark while pixel only use a camera to take a picture for face unlock
Have a 7 Pro now. First thing I did was put a vinyl cover over the camera bump for protection and a super protective case over it. Messing about with Nova Launcher now. Wish there was an SD Card Slot.

Fingerprint scanner works great......when you set up 4 fingerprints with 1 finger lol. I tried set up just 1 or 2 fingerprints with 1 finger....but it barely worked. But once I set up all 4 fingerprints to 1 finger.....now it works great lol.
Need advice, can't decide between s21 fe 256gb and 8gb Ram and regular Pixel 7 128gb. They are both $600 in my region. On the one hand, s21 fe feels like a better deal to since it has more memory for the same price and 120hz display. And perhaps even stronger chip Snapdragon 888. On the other hand, Pixel 7 feels more premium and so different for me since I've always used Samsung devices. Would appreciate advises here
Lol you're confused just like me even i was confused between these 2 devices and I'm getting a pixel 7 as it's 500$ right now with discount and also i feel pixel phone in hand will definitely draw some eyes for it's unique wiser design than a usual looking samsung phone. Hear this out if you want phone with a bit more specs go for Samsung and if you're a person like me that wants to draw some attention with a classy look go for pixel it's not a mid ranger too it's between 865 and 888 which is pretty much future proof.
@@MyKneeHurts bro, in a sh@thole country like I live, $300 is decent amount of money. Of course I'd prefer top range flagship device but in terms of money, that's the only options I got rn
@@sarath7621 well see, I do play games time to time, not a heavy gamer but during my free times, like Pubg and Diablo. Some people are criticizing Pixel's lack of "horsepower". But most importantly for me is to have fast responding phone. When I click something I want instant response, such as opening apps. I rarely take any pictures so camera is the last thing that concerns me tbh
@@utkirkhusanov816 well performance wise I can tell you that everything is smooth got the 7 pro but Soc is the same apps open quickly and gaming goes smooth but after like an hour it starts decreasing performance but for most games it's enough power
Lol! Just watched your “how to turn a tiny room into a UA-cam studio” video and you said “when I move I will be using a variation of this setup. So, I scrolled along to find your newest video and (2 years later) you told the truth hahah! Your new studio looks super cool man. Good work
I use Nova launcher... but I turn off all those gaudy animations... in Nova and in Developer options. The phone feels SOOOO much faster with animations off!
Thanks , i was coming to same conclusion all ready and like you id thought it was the other way around last year. but this year in in the market to buy and you just finished off my thought process its the 7 pro
It is so frustrating that Google forces you to buy giant phones to get the best cameras. Why can't they give you an option that has the top level cameras in an actual reasonable size form factor? Apple understands this which is why they have the Pro and the the Max options. I have stuck with my Pixel 5 because I absolutely love the form factor and don't see the point of going to a Pixel 6 or 7 which still has just 2 cameras. The Pixel Pro sizes are just TOO BIG and heavy to enjoy using day to day. Samsung does get this with their Galaxy S range but I love the Pixel experience and the amazing camera software. Please Google give us a 3 camera phone in a more reasonable size!!
Hi Sami ! I see you get your music from Artlist. I really like your choice of music and I was wondering what your search options are in Artlist for this type of music
Yeah, I got the pixel seven because of the size but you’re right the battery is not so great it’s OK and you’re also correct about the cameras. The main camera is great but the wide angle is not very wide and it would be nice to have some sort of telephoto on the back, but oh well and yeah, if I could redo my purchase, I’d probably get the seven pro
I am proud a owner of pixel 7 . I get p7 in late October in Miami . By the way this month I just came back to my hometown in India. And hard to believe that this phone runs riot here . Whenever I going out for any occasion my friends and also other people just gathering around for taking photo 🤣 with my pixel 7 . 😂
I agree the Pro model is worth the extra if you have it to spare. I went regular 7 because I already have an S22 and 14 pro. plus I like smaller phones. that said the regular 7 is worth every penny. the camera is better than both S22 and 14 pro (for pictures, no one is near Apple in Video) it really is a fantastic value at $499. don't regret buying it at all. ordered it day one of release
What do you mean too big? Every flagshig is 6.7 to 6.9 inches....The s22u is 6.9 inches and doesn't seem to get the same criticism. 14 pro max, 6.8 inches.
Bought Pixel one day before this video was released, while it's overall good experience one thing I don't like is the battery, it drains like without me even using.
Have Google solved the problem of the back glass shattering for no reason. in a little hole above the cameras yet? Also are the now agreeing to sort it out under warranty in all countries, or refusing.
Why is a flat display a "cheap" model feature now? The pro should have had that too. They're making manufacturing difficult for themselves, just to make the end-user experience worse too
@@jevonsims900 Maybe some people are just out of touch with reality, or maybe it's something else, but between phones being well into the 1k+ territory in a lot of cases, 200-300$ is definitely not pocket change
As someone who recently switched from a flat display to curved display, I find curved displays much much more comfortable to use gestures with. The only downside is that for my particular device its impossible to find and screen protectors from reputable brands but im assuming it'll be easier for the pixels especially with a less curved screen
do agree with the battery on the regular 7, I'm genuinely dissapointed they reduce the capacity for no reason, else this would be a perfect phone for me. I guess thats why they give the pro a 5000 to make the 300$ gap more reasonable
If you want to enjoy a Google phone don't buy a Google phone, buy Motorola instead. You almost get everything from Google plus all the ones Motorola gives you. My Motorola Edge 30 Fusion is evidence of that. And the design factors of the Fusion are miles ahead of the pixels. The Dolby audio is some of the best qualities in audio files you can have. The sound is so loud that you don't need any Bluetooth speakers for watching your movies. The speakers are in such a thin body phone with only 7.7mm thickness.
go for S22U maybe. only difference is the main lens and tbh there is not much of difference anyways, and SAMSUNG have long support so maybe that's better deal
Pixel 7 Pro have qualities but Samsung Ultra series smartphones are more complete than any others smartphones in the market. Not perfect of course but complete for sure. If battery efficiency issue is solved, S23 Ultra will be smartphone of the year. If you are into Google AI features then buy a Pixel 7 Pro. I don't trust Tensor G2 longetivity and Google neither since there will be only 3 years Software Update. Be careful and good luck with your choice😉
Lmao I've even seen some UA-camrs saying battery is pretty much the same between both and sometimes they're even getting more on base 7. I'm guessing he used pro model more since it's "pro" and he didn't get his 7's battery optimised as he went just for 1-3 days with it not giving much time to optimise itself according to his utilities.
@@cikplays9112 if you're playing 3d games then sure, otherwise the resolution difference has almost no change in battery life since all the pixels are still lit up.
Hi Sam. How has phone reception been for you on the Pixel phones? Telstra has only given their "blue tick" for better rural reception to Samsung phones, so I'm leaning towards getting an S23+ (assuming they get the blue tick like the S22+. Also, have you heard of anyone having problems with cracked glass camera lenses on the Pixels?
I don't like the design of either 🙁 the displays aren't that bright in manual brightness mode which is a bit of a let down. Auto brightness is fine but we don't have much control over that
I got the 7 Pro 2 weeks ago. And I don't get all notifications for mails, both when I use Gmail or the app from my provider. I have full background usage activated. Has somebody the same problem?
It's worth bearing in mind that thes phones these modern high-tech phones are mirrorless and I'm surprised that these companies don't use that as a unique selling point..
Ended up with the Pixel Pro 7 over the Pixel 7 due to lack of availability of the Pixel 7. Those promotions got these retailers moving that pixel 7 and rightfully so.
I'm a person that used to go back and forth between a Note and a OnePlus. I just had to have the flat screen I could not do the curved edges anymore. Once I saw the size of the pro that thing was way too big. I work with my phone in my pocket I just could not go with that huge mammoth. But I wanted all the extra bells and whistles they're just not that important. The only time I ever used my zoom on my camera was at the kids play just to zoom in on them real quick. But damn I really love the pro just a little bit too big
@@whillb same as how Apple does, make two of the same phones, same material and specifications but just smaller. Then have the 6.7” as the max versions with a larger battery.
Is the 7 pro worth upgrading from the 6 pro or will I be disappointed with another buggy mess? Is it worth just waiting for the s23 which I know will work the way its meant to? Sorry to sound skeptical but the pixel 6 pro has left a bad taste in my mouth around pixel phones
I would really love to own any one of these considering I have a potato phone these phone are so cool and is my dream phone Thabks for the cool review love the info
Hi I have a Pixel 7. Is anyone one of you facing network connectivity issues? Wherein my phone randomly disconnects from the mobile network and doesn't reconnect despite showing full signal strength.
I've had my Google pixel 7 Verizon for a month. I have no problem with the battery. I go to work. I work 10 hours. I get home and have 60% left. Today is Sunday my off day. I've been on my phone all day. My battery is at 80% it is an amazing phone with amazing features that iPhone does not have. The camera is amazing. The Google translator is amazing and the reason why I got the seven was because I was upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S10 that I had 3 years Aunt. I was between an s21 an iPhone 13 and out of them my budget because I'm always going to buy refurbished. I'm never going to pay no $700 to $1,000 for a phone in budget. Phones are no good in mid-range phones do not make any sense. They try to downgrade the Google pixel because we have these iPhone lovers. It is a flagship phone. I bought mine for $200 refurbished got it. It look brand new. I've had no complaints and I'm happy to upgrade from the Samsung Galaxy S10. Keep in mind I could have got the s21 but I chose the Google and I'm happy with the change
I like the phone, but it has its flaws. Mine gets very warm at the thought of doing something. Plus the camera I think needs a massive upgrade. The lack of a pro mode and only outputting 12.5mp images isn't great for cropability.. I also think the hdr is a little too strong but these are just my opinions.
Hi Sam How can I disable the quick settings panel on the lock screen? ( on Google Pixel phones) . I have changed the settings on the power button to turn on Google Assistant so nobody can press it and turn off the phone . But anyone can easily just drag down the quick settings from the lockscreen and power off .
Google really struck gold with these devices, I really see them becoming the iPhone of Android in a way that Samsung never truly was. Great to see them becoming mainstream.
I never understand the comments that the Pixel 7's battery is so inferior. I've used both extensively, and the 7 is at least on par with the 7 Pro...if not actually better.
"Only $300 difference" - My bro I'm glad you're living comfortably, but I need those "only" $300.
My whole phone was 300
Lmao true some people even get a whole new phone for 300$ where he said like it's some change that we spend for a coffee everyday.
Here where I live you could get a pixel 6a for around 300$, so it really is a big difference when thinking about how much it offers compared to the pixel 7 lineup
And me here just bought a pixel 4 at $200 🙂

You're incorrect about one thing. The Pixel 7 pro automatically comes with 12GB of ram regardless of which storage option you choose.

On the one hand, s21 fe feels like a better deal to since it has more memory for the same price and 120hz display. And perhaps even stronger chip Snapdragon 888.
On the other hand, Pixel 7 feels more premium and so different for me since I've always used Samsung devices.
Would appreciate advises here
save up 300 more and get something better. why get mediocre if you will be keeping for 3+ years?
Lol you're confused just like me even i was confused between these 2 devices and I'm getting a pixel 7 as it's 500$ right now with discount and also i feel pixel phone in hand will definitely draw some eyes for it's unique wiser design than a usual looking samsung phone.
Hear this out if you want phone with a bit more specs go for Samsung and if you're a person like me that wants to draw some attention with a classy look go for pixel it's not a mid ranger too it's between 865 and 888 which is pretty much future proof.
@@MyKneeHurts bro, in a sh@thole country like I live, $300 is decent amount of money. Of course I'd prefer top range flagship device but in terms of money, that's the only options I got rn
@@sarath7621 well see, I do play games time to time, not a heavy gamer but during my free times, like Pubg and Diablo. Some people are criticizing Pixel's lack of "horsepower". But most importantly for me is to have fast responding phone. When I click something I want instant response, such as opening apps.
I rarely take any pictures so camera is the last thing that concerns me tbh
@@utkirkhusanov816 well performance wise I can tell you that everything is smooth got the 7 pro but Soc is the same apps open quickly and gaming goes smooth but after like an hour it starts decreasing performance but for most games it's enough power
2 months later with the P7p. It's a damn good phone. A sticker / cover is needed for the camera bar =)
Lol! Just watched your “how to turn a tiny room into a UA-cam studio” video and you said “when I move I will be using a variation of this setup. So, I scrolled along to find your newest video and (2 years later) you told the truth hahah! Your new studio looks super cool man. Good work
I use Nova launcher... but I turn off all those gaudy animations... in Nova and in Developer options. The phone feels SOOOO much faster with animations off!
6:42 How to use a pitch black theme on pixel 6 pro, running on Android 13.
I too would like to know.
anyone knows, pls..........
Love my pixel 7 pro 🔥. Cheers mate from

So is the pixel 7 better than the Pixel 6? As you were so high on the pixel 6. Would be nice to see a year on year comparison between them.
Yes the pixel 7 is better than the pixel 6.
I feel bad watching these videos in 2x speed, they're so well-made!
Went from the iphone 13. Love it. They only thing you miss is the status symbol iphone brings. Silly really. Love the 7.
Great watch as always 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks , i was coming to same conclusion all ready and like you id thought it was the other way around last year. but this year in in the market to buy and you just finished off my thought process its the 7 pro
It is so frustrating that Google forces you to buy giant phones to get the best cameras. Why can't they give you an option that has the top level cameras in an actual reasonable size form factor? Apple understands this which is why they have the Pro and the the Max options. I have stuck with my Pixel 5 because I absolutely love the form factor and don't see the point of going to a Pixel 6 or 7 which still has just 2 cameras. The Pixel Pro sizes are just TOO BIG and heavy to enjoy using day to day. Samsung does get this with their Galaxy S range but I love the Pixel experience and the amazing camera software. Please Google give us a 3 camera phone in a more reasonable size!!
Not a good comparison, they're almost as expensive (the Apples).
Maybe you're just using your phone too much?
Can u do a compare between pixel 6a vs 7?
Hi Sami ! I see you get your music from Artlist. I really like your choice of music and I was wondering what your search options are in Artlist for this type of music
Yeah, I got the pixel seven because of the size but you’re right the battery is not so great it’s OK and you’re also correct about the cameras. The main camera is great but the wide angle is not very wide and it would be nice to have some sort of telephoto on the back, but oh well and yeah, if I could redo my purchase, I’d probably get the seven pro
I am proud a owner of pixel 7 . I get p7 in late October in Miami . By the way this month I just came back to my hometown in India. And hard to believe that this phone runs riot here . Whenever I going out for any occasion my friends and also other people just gathering around for taking photo 🤣 with my pixel 7 . 😂
Great content mate!
The beauty of this video comparison is unbelievable, congrats.
This video fills up my pixel 7 pro perfectly with out even zooming how did you do this ??? Most other you tubers don't even do it
I sold mine. Too buggy. Cameras overhyped. Xiaomi 12t pro now and am not upset about that.
Sir, what are your comments about the camera glass shattering on the Pixel 7 series?
Initially wanted the pro but I really dislike curve screen(sold my s22u) hence went with the regular 7...no regrets though
Nice video
Do you like more Pixel 7 than S22u?
@@jonathanreyes1374 There are some elements of the s22u that I do miss but generally ya I like the pixel 7 more
I agree the Pro model is worth the extra if you have it to spare. I went regular 7 because I already have an S22 and 14 pro. plus I like smaller phones. that said the regular 7 is worth every penny. the camera is better than both S22 and 14 pro (for pictures, no one is near Apple in Video) it really is a fantastic value at $499. don't regret buying it at all. ordered it day one of release
what you do with so many phones?
@@dhruveshkhandelwal8104 have two lines and I switch up when I get bored.
Got the same phone and the pixel 7 pro. Would you agree if i say pixel pro 7 cam is better than the s22 ultra?
What do you mean too big? Every flagshig is 6.7 to 6.9 inches....The s22u is 6.9 inches and doesn't seem to get the same criticism. 14 pro max, 6.8 inches.
It is VERY wide my guy
Bought Pixel one day before this video was released, while it's overall good experience one thing I don't like is the battery, it drains like without me even using.
The haptics on both are identical...
Have Google solved the problem of the back glass shattering for no reason. in a little hole above the cameras yet? Also are the now agreeing to sort it out under warranty in all countries, or refusing.
Why is a flat display a "cheap" model feature now? The pro should have had that too. They're making manufacturing difficult for themselves, just to make the end-user experience worse too
I am convinced these reviewers will say anything to sell a Pixel. He said "Only $200.00-$300.00 difference" like it was 2-3 dollars.
@@jevonsims900 Maybe some people are just out of touch with reality, or maybe it's something else, but between phones being well into the 1k+ territory in a lot of cases, 200-300$ is definitely not pocket change
200-300 for something you are going to be using for next 2 years is nothing
As someone who recently switched from a flat display to curved display, I find curved displays much much more comfortable to use gestures with. The only downside is that for my particular device its impossible to find and screen protectors from reputable brands but im assuming it'll be easier for the pixels especially with a less curved screen
What a good quality video man!! Do you think pixel 6 had better haptic experience than the 6 pro??
Slow charging is the main issue...🤦 on the pixels...
do agree with the battery on the regular 7, I'm genuinely dissapointed they reduce the capacity for no reason, else this would be a perfect phone for me. I guess thats why they give the pro a 5000 to make the 300$ gap more reasonable
If you want to enjoy a Google phone don't buy a Google phone, buy Motorola instead. You almost get everything from Google plus all the ones Motorola gives you. My Motorola Edge 30 Fusion is evidence of that. And the design factors of the Fusion are miles ahead of the pixels. The Dolby audio is some of the best qualities in audio files you can have. The sound is so loud that you don't need any Bluetooth speakers for watching your movies. The speakers are in such a thin body phone with only 7.7mm thickness.
Motorola is absolute garbage
Hi Sam, honestly, am at cross roads between choosing a pixel 7 Pro and a galaxy S23 ultra. Which would you choose 🤔🤔🤔
7 pro the S23 is overpiced
Go for samsung if you dont mind the price
go for S22U maybe. only difference is the main lens and tbh there is not much of difference anyways, and SAMSUNG have long support so maybe that's better deal
How about you wait until the S23 actually comes out before deciding? Seems ridiculous to be asking right now.
Pixel 7 Pro have qualities but Samsung Ultra series smartphones are more complete than any others smartphones in the market. Not perfect of course but complete for sure. If battery efficiency issue is solved, S23 Ultra will be smartphone of the year.
If you are into Google AI features then buy a Pixel 7 Pro. I don't trust Tensor G2 longetivity and Google neither since there will be only 3 years Software Update. Be careful and good luck with your choice😉
2:25 Does anyone know where to get this wallpaper? It looks super cool.
I get good battery life from my pixel 7 idk wtf he talking about
Lmao I've even seen some UA-camrs saying battery is pretty much the same between both and sometimes they're even getting more on base 7. I'm guessing he used pro model more since it's "pro" and he didn't get his 7's battery optimised as he went just for 1-3 days with it not giving much time to optimise itself according to his utilities.
@@sarath7621 depends on if he used 1440 or 1080p on the pro that makes up 2 hours for me
@@cikplays9112 if you're playing 3d games then sure, otherwise the resolution difference has almost no change in battery life since all the pixels are still lit up.
@@hisfatness522 nope in TikTok Instagram and Whatsapp I get over the day 2 hours more battery life
@@cikplays9112 sure, whatever you say lol.
what is the small computer on the table? i want to know!
Hi Sam. How has phone reception been for you on the Pixel phones? Telstra has only given their "blue tick" for better rural reception to Samsung phones, so I'm leaning towards getting an S23+ (assuming they get the blue tick like the S22+.
Also, have you heard of anyone having problems with cracked glass camera lenses on the Pixels?
Thanks for the haptics comparison.
Sir, wait for pixel 8 or buy pixel 7 now? ( for my Mom )
I love how high quality your video is
I don't like the design of either 🙁 the displays aren't that bright in manual brightness mode which is a bit of a let down. Auto brightness is fine but we don't have much control over that
Really? The Pro is too bright. I keep my screen at 75-80% due to it being so bright.
@@whillb My phone is brighter at 30% than Pixel 7 Pro is at 70% and my phone is five years old.
@@jevonsims900 That's not at all accurate. Lol
I would love the 7 Pro with its telephoto lens and bigger screen. But its $749. I bought the 7 for $199. Not really a hard choice for me.
I got the 7 Pro 2 weeks ago. And I don't get all notifications for mails, both when I use Gmail or the app from my provider. I have full background usage activated. Has somebody the same problem?
Does the big telephoto zoom work with video as well ?
What is the notes app that was shown across all of the devices while discussing haptics?
It's worth bearing in mind that thes phones these modern high-tech phones are mirrorless and I'm surprised that these companies don't use that as a unique selling point..
1:07
my god, i can see the scrashes of the pro visor from here
Really what it boils down to is Size, and the display being slightly faster for those gamers out here.
Ended up with the Pixel Pro 7 over the Pixel 7 due to lack of availability of the Pixel 7. Those promotions got these retailers moving that pixel 7 and rightfully so.
I'm a person that used to go back and forth between a Note and a OnePlus. I just had to have the flat screen I could not do the curved edges anymore. Once I saw the size of the pro that thing was way too big. I work with my phone in my pocket I just could not go with that huge mammoth. But I wanted all the extra bells and whistles they're just not that important. The only time I ever used my zoom on my camera was at the kids play just to zoom in on them real quick. But damn I really love the pro just a little bit too big
Note = Xiaomi?
Wish Google released the pro is a more ergonomic form factor.
Explain how.
@@whillb same as how Apple does, make two of the same phones, same material and specifications but just smaller. Then have the 6.7” as the max versions with a larger battery.
Am i the only one who had to google what haptics was? God damn, I'm only 25 and I'm already getting left behind in the tech lingo LOL
Just brought the 7 ,it is soooooo good.
Camera Crack.
@@wonrei bad user
Is the 7 pro worth upgrading from the 6 pro or will I be disappointed with another buggy mess? Is it worth just waiting for the s23 which I know will work the way its meant to? Sorry to sound skeptical but the pixel 6 pro has left a bad taste in my mouth around pixel phones
No,it's not worth it
Who are all these people who take so many photos? Because me personally I don't use the camera that much.
? Can the Pixel 7 Pro, Screen-Cast onto the television? I can't seem to find out how to do it. Thank you.
I would really love to own any one of these considering I have a potato phone these phone are so cool and is my dream phone
Thabks for the cool review love the info

What music app is that at 1:39?
Hi I have a Pixel 7. Is anyone one of you facing network connectivity issues?
Wherein my phone randomly disconnects from the mobile network and doesn't reconnect despite showing full signal strength.
I've had my Google pixel 7 Verizon for a month. I have no problem with the battery. I go to work. I work 10 hours. I get home and have 60% left. Today is Sunday my off day. I've been on my phone all day. My battery is at 80% it is an amazing phone with amazing features that iPhone does not have. The camera is amazing. The Google translator is amazing and the reason why I got the seven was because I was upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S10 that I had 3 years Aunt. I was between an s21 an iPhone 13 and out of them my budget because I'm always going to buy refurbished. I'm never going to pay no $700 to $1,000 for a phone in budget. Phones are no good in mid-range phones do not make any sense. They try to downgrade the Google pixel because we have these iPhone lovers. It is a flagship phone. I bought mine for $200 refurbished got it. It look brand new. I've had no complaints and I'm happy to upgrade from the Samsung Galaxy S10. Keep in mind I could have got the s21 but I chose the Google and I'm happy with the change
One thing I don't like it seeing customer launchers in phone videos
I would like to buy a pixel 7 but im scare a bit the camera glass issue. I dont know...
great content as always!
Flat screen for the win!
Galaxy S10+ vs Note 9 speedtest ua-cam.com/video/QYij6T2tY5o/v-deo.html
I like the phone, but it has its flaws. Mine gets very warm at the thought of doing something. Plus the camera I think needs a massive upgrade. The lack of a pro mode and only outputting 12.5mp images isn't great for cropability.. I also think the hdr is a little too strong but these are just my opinions.
what was that app at 1:41
Hi Sam
How can I disable the quick settings panel on the lock screen? ( on Google Pixel phones) .
I have changed the settings on the power button to turn on Google Assistant so nobody can press it and turn off the phone .
But anyone can easily just drag down the quick settings from the lockscreen and power off .
Tempted to put my 6 in the draw now and go for the 7 series. Great video, would be great for some links to your wallpapers you use in your videos 😁
Google really struck gold with these devices, I really see them becoming the iPhone of Android in a way that Samsung never truly was. Great to see them becoming mainstream.
I never understand the comments that the Pixel 7's battery is so inferior. I've used both extensively, and the 7 is at least on par with the 7 Pro...if not actually better.
Fist thing I do when I buy a new phone is turn off all the Haptics on it...
Pls create a video on best gcam and their settings XML etc
My pixel 7 display colors are washed out, doesn't it bother everyone else? My old Pixel 3 screen is perfect and put 7 to shame side by side
Love the casual Pokemon edition GBC haha @1:50
What about speakers. ? Are they different ?
Way worse than 6 pro
4:03 9hz Oled Panel?
Which music player is that...with that awesome equvalizer
@Tyler Wittig thank you bro ❤️
