Before into the Pixel 7, I have been using an iPhone12 mini for 2 years. And a Samsung Note 9 before that. Why I chose the iPhone12 mini? Because I wanted a real compact phone. And Why I bought the Pixel 7 now? Well, 1. I want better battery life. 2. I want bigger screen for games and for navigation. 3. IOS just bored me.So, I got the Pixel 7 lemongrass 256g for 599$ and have been using it for a week now. And here are my opinions.In short words, if you have been using Android and want an upgrade now, I really recommend Pixel 7, mainly because it gives you good software experience and decent camera at a very fair price.Exterior & comfort:The color lemon grass is special and I like it. The visor camera bump looks unique and kinda cool in my opinion. The rounded edge makes the phone comfortable to hold. HOWEVER, there are some cons. 1. The bump and the glass back make it awkward to place on any flat surface. 2. The bump is a huge dust collector. 3. Although the edge of the flat screen has a bit of curve, the transition to the metal frame is not good, which means the touch of the edge areas feels a bit cheap, definitely not comparable to Note 9. Overall, I think the look is unique but comes with some sacrifices, and the build quality is fairly good for the price.Operating System:This is the first time I use the so called “pure” Android. Compared to Samsung’s OneUI, the OS on Pixel 7 feels more like Apple’s iOS actually. It doesn’t have as many customization functions as OneUI and is simpler to use. Kinda like iOS, but in a different style, well, the kinda nerdy Google style. If you like it you like it. Some special Google AI features are cool, but should not be the only reason for anyone to buy this phone in my opinion. I haven’t experienced many bugs. Actually, only one when switching between bluetooth audio devices that really bothers me a bit. Overall, I like the system, and I think it is good for anyone but people who have only used iPhone before.Camera:Pixel has always been famous for its camera capabilities. I must say it is true on Pixel 7. It takes very decent photos no matter the light conditions, and the shoot experience is simple and natural. Is it as good or better as flagship phones like iPhone 14 pro? I don’t know, maybe not. But as someone who uses a dedicated camera for street photography, I think the camera on Pixel 7 is more than capable to take nice looking daily photos and capture those little moments into good memories. When it comes to video, it is also good, especially considering the price, but iPhone is better. And I mean iPhone 12 mini. So overall, the camera is very good.Battery life:Not much to say here since I don’t bother to do any “tests” and have no numbers. But based on my feeling, it is good, but not as good as I expected considering the battery capacity. It will last you a full day (8 hours) or more if you use it lightly. But it is no way a two-day or 1.5 day battery life.Gaming:Gaming is trash. At least for pubg mobile. It is probably due to software issue (not optimized for Tensor chip) rather than lack of raw performance. But if you play a lot of 3D mobile games, avoid this one.Conclusion:Decent phone for the price. Actually, even for the normal price ($100 more than what I spent), it is still more than decent. If you don’t want to spend that much on a phone (which is a terribly stupid trend in my opinion), this is the phone for you. Don’t look at iPhone SE, that thing is a joke.

I got my Pixel 7 a few days ago from Amazon and I have to say I’m impressed. I’m upgrading from a OnePlus 6T, so keep that in mind when reading my review. I haven’t had any problems. powering it up the first time and transferring all my data from my old phone worked like a charm (better than on my wife’s Pixel 6A, which had a couple of glitches during the process). Setup took a while, mainly because I have a ton of apps that I needed to sign on to. I’ve got almost everything done now, except for the most annoying apps (Okta verify, I’m looking at you). The only issue I had during setup was turning WiFi calling on–it failed twice, then I realized the bad reception in my basement was to blame. When I did it from my living room, where reception is good, it turned on without a problem.In daily use, the phone has worked flawlessly. Face unlock is fast (albeit not as secure as a fingerprint because it only uses the regular camera, unlike on the iPhone). The fingerprint reader has yet to fail to recognize my finger, and it’s faster than the one on my old OnePlus. The phone feels snappier than my old one, particularly when running certain apps that slowed down my old phone (Instacart, for example).The screen is a beauty–coming from a 60Hz screen, 90Hz is a noticeable upgrade and feels buttery smooth. It’s bright enough to use easily in direct sunlight.The camera is very good, from what I can tell. Definitely way better than my old phone’s. I haven’t taken many night or low-light shots yet, but everything else has come out looking great.I know the Pixel 6 was glitchy and, in some cases, got buggier as time went on. Fingers crossed this won’t happen with the 7, but so far so good.Overall, I can’t believe the amount of stuff the phone has to offer for the price, particularly with the $100 gift card pre-order offer. It’s a flagship phone for a mid-tier price. I was considering getting an iPhone 13, but opted for the Pixel 7 because of the lower price. I’m glad I made that choice, as that extra $$$ comes in handy these days.Edit to add that the battery life is good, but not great. It lasts through a whole day of moderate to heavy use and has about 20% left at the end of the day.

I’ve had this Google Pixel 7 phone now for about 8 months, after having used Samsung phones for years. The #1 best thing if you switch from Samsung is the absence of all that bloatware, those apps you never use and can’t uninstall either. This phone saves so much memory by just not having those apps, and it makes it easier to sort through the apps you do have and find the one you need quickly and efficiently. Huge relief, and that’s probably the #1 reason I wouldn’t go back to Samsung. Photography is my hobby and for the first time this year, I did not use my SLR camera at all. I feel bad but the camera on this phone was versatile enough for my purposes! Picture quality is excellent. The magic eraser feature in editing is quite a game changer. The fact that the phone saves photos directly to your Google drive is also nice though sharing pics to social media from there isn’t that straightforward. I do it all the time but I haven’t figured out how to post multiple pics without them appearing in backward order. The biggest negative for the Google Pixel 7 phone is that I need to charge it just about every day. Keep in mind that I don’t use it for gaming or listening to music or watching videos. I literally just use it to text, call, google stuff, occasionally for social media, and maps if I’m driving which isn’t every day. Even so, I have to charge it approximately every 30 hours. This is the one thing they need to change on this phone. I have a 2022 model and it looks like I’ll be getting updates until 2026 which gives them enough time to work on that! The other thing is that fingerprint recognition rarely works. When it does seem to work, I think it’s actually the facial recognition thing that comes on at the same time that’s opening the phone. Facial recognition works great fortunately. Oh, and just for kicks: the feature I like best that the phone comes with is “Now Playing” that identifies what song is currently playing. I put it on my home screen so that I don’t have to switch on my phone to activate it. Just a light touch and it tells me what the mystery song I’m hearing in a cafe or on the radio is. My 20-yr-old nephew who is an iPhone user was actually envious of this feature! It’s not an app — it’s just a feature that appears in Settings>Sound. To summarize: do I like this phone and would I recommend it? A resounding yes. Should battery life be improved? Also a resounding yes.

Owned this phone for around a year at this point. Overall it is excellent, no complaints on the software side, Google has definetively polished a lot of the experience and its not a hassle at all to use, it has a fantastic camera and for the average user it works perfectly fine. Although it lacks a proper pro mode for people that want to use it a little more professionally, but the image processing is good enough to not have a big need for it.In terms of build quality it also gets a lot of points from me, it feels solid and even after a few unfortunate drops it has 0 visible damage.Now my one complaint, the battery life on the tensor chip is not… great. It won’t drain in a single day but its definetively lacking in that area, lasting me around 2 days of use on a full charge. The most annoying part personally is the fact that it drains a lot even while just bieng on standby, like for example when going to sleep the phone will lose around 20% charge while doing nothing. Just something to be wary of, because otherwise its probably my favorite phone that I have owned.

Waited to make this review till I had a reasonable time period of use behind me. I purchased this phone to replace a near four year old one and I have not been disappointed since. Key positives for me thus far -1. Best battery life of any phone I have ever owned. A full day is normal with moderate use (I only charge up to 80% as well). I can probably get 2 days of use with light use.2. Camera is very good. I am not a photophile by an means but the picture quality, colour depth, etc are all quite exceptional. There are also useful pic edit tools available via Google that makes editing easy.3. Despite not having the flagship Snapdragon chip like all my previous handsets I am not noticing any lag or performance issues. The phone is responsive and quite fast.4. The speech recorder to text function has bee na godsend in a few meetings I have been in and needed notes done. Works very wellI have not activated the face recognition feature as I never liked it as a security access so I can’t speak to it but the underscreen fingerprint sensor works well. I had to remove the tempered glass protector for it to work well though.At the price paid I am happy with the phone.

I’m very happy with my Google Pixel 7 256gb purchase. I have had it now for about 3 months and I couldn’t be more content with my purchase. I was dead set on getting the Iphone 14 but decided last minute to get the Pixel 7 because it was more economical and still had the features I was looking for. Not to mention the fact that in getting the Pixel, I was able to then use the other money I had set aside to get a GoPro Hero 11 creator addition, more accessories, and cases for both my phone and GoPro for the price I would have paid for the iphone and an otterbox alone.The interface is easy to use, and I like the android platform more than I thought I would. My previous phone was an Iphone and I was worried that I would loose the easy to use platform that I had become accustomed to.The cons – The fingerprint reader at times doesn’t recognize my fingerprint. I mostly attribute this to the fact that I work in a restaurant and after touching hot things for an extended period of time, my belief is that my fingerprint is just damaged enough to where the device has a harder time reading it, and the technology itself for reading fingerprints is a little outdated. The other thing I have noticed is that when I go from being on wifi to out and about, some times my device has a hard time connecting to my 5g smoothly which will make my IG or Pandora not want to work. When I have this issue, a quick restart seems to do the trick.With the cons in mind, I still think that the google phone is an excellent option and I am very glad I purchased it. I likely will stick with google phones in the future unless something else catches my eye enough to make me want to switch.

It’s lightweight, easy to use and is compatible with my current carrier. This is my first time purchasing a phone online. Well worth it.

I love my pixel. I was in the Android world long before I got this phone but this experience tops it all. Don’t be fooled thinking that this phone is perfect, because it is far from it and I’ll try to break down the pros and cons:Pros:-Android experience: no bloatware and updates directly from Google-Camera: the camera unit itself might not be the most powerful in terms of hardware, but the post-processing software that google has implemented makes it one of the best in the game.-Battery life: The phone learns from your usage habits and adapts the battery’s performance to adjust to your needs. The phone felt like it lacked the power the first couple of weeks, but now I get a day’s use easily.-Looks: The finish on the back is a fingerprint magnet, but you can’t deny that it looks amazing. The camera bump helps protect the back from scratches (I mean at least in the 5 seconds that you’ll have it out of the case for cleaning)Cons:-Fingerprint reader: No matter how you register the fingerprint, it will fail to recognize it in a sunny day or when you are in the dark. I’ve tried to register 2 or 3 times in different lighting conditions, but the sensor itself is lacking in recognition capabilities.-Screen: 90Hz is enough for the untrained eye, but I just wish the max brightness was a bit higher.-Facial recognition: I wish the phone was improved in the face unlock area. I mean if you are not going to use a good fingerprint reader, might as well add more facial reading capabilities or add IR sensors to make unlocking the phone more secure.Take this in consideration when buying and if the drawbacks are not a deal-breaker for you, you won’t regret getting this pixel.

For many years, my family preferred another manufacturer. However, 2 years ago I switched to the Pixel 7. My son followed a few months later, as he needed a reliable phone while living on campus… And my husband just recently upgraded. The phone “radio” in these is not the best but I rarely chat on my phone these days anyway. The camera is great — I’ve got a full arsenal of detailed, high quality cat photos that I’m ready to share at all times!

Update: 1/10/23 I have had this phone for a month and half now the phone is great especially after the December update still waiting on January update. Battery has gotten a lot better since Ibought phone but the battery is not going be on par with the Pixel 7 pro or Galaxy S22 ultra those phones have bigger batteries. I come home from work after 8 hours with 40 to 55 percent with moderate use and when I go to bed im at 30 to 35 percent. If I use fanduel or apps that update live data battery drains faster that was also the case on my Galaxy S20. The fingerprint and face recognition have always worked even before December update even better than my S20. Only con if it is a con the phone is slow charging the phone but one could argue that by not fast charging the life of the battery will greatly increased due to less heat. I have not experience any heat issues unless I’m using high CPU apps and the phone does not get hot but warm nothing extreme. I will update in about 2 to 3 months for now my 5 star stands.Initial review I only had this phone for a few days but I really like it so far. I used galaxy S series since the S3 but rising price, the removal of MST, and micro SD card slot I couldn’t justify the price I was paying Galaxy S phones. Boost mobile does not sell pixel so I wondered if I could use an unlock phone and with mixed info online I decided to take the chance. To activate phone you have to call so boost can register the phone on their network it won’t work by online swap. The phone is still learning how to I use the phone for battery optimization, but I am getting 12 hours with moderate use. I live in metro area and I am getting blazing fast speeds but when indoors speeds drops off but not enough where you can’t use the phone unless you are in a dense structure with thick walls. Only issue I had and not due to the phone itself is moving my Samsung calendar to Google calendar but overall this is a great phone especially at the price point. I will update after I have had the phone for awhile.
