Rio, 11 May 2023No in that you will get same specifications but only 8/128 ... moreThat's enough considering Google gives you unlimited Google photo storage once you buy their phones, isn't it?

Haxsterion, 14 May 2023The phone, at first glance, seems amazing; The pure Android... more🤣You've been probably using an iPhone too much for too long that you have forgotten how customization works in android phones. Go download Nova launcher and better yet, pay for Nova launcher prime and you'll be able to do whatever it is that you want with your widgets, homescreen, app drawer layout or gestures. (Yes, you can have an entirely blank home screen and fully customized gestures not just for navigation, but for everything else).
Not all buy Pixel phones for the 'pure' Google android experience. I actually prefer Samsung's OneUI experience because it is vastly more customizable with other features the Pixel phones can only dream of. But there's one thing the Pixel 7 series are truly excellent at and it's the only reason I bought it: The camera performance - the excellent GCam paired with a customized Exynos chip (Tensor) and camera hardware lens combo that produces the best low light photos BAR NONE. The Pixel 7/7Pro low light output is superior to the the best Apple can offer even with the Phone 14 pro max. And while there's not much quality difference among mobile phone cameras when using them in less challenging daytime situations, you will still recognize the Pixel 7/7 Pro from the rest because of its really realistic color tone with plenty of depth and subtle variations within a single hue, a consistently balanced exposure that's dead-center almost everytime and that 'trademark' Pixel look which is difficult to pinpoint but is something like a 'holographic', realistic rendering of an actual scene in its final photo output that doesn't look overly HDRsy and overcooked like in Vivo or Oppo flagships, or oversaturated and over sharpened like in Xiaomi or Samsung, or overly dark, yellowish skewed and noisy like in the iPhone 14 Pro Max's low light photos.

Haxsterion, 14 May 2023The phone, at first glance, seems amazing; The pure Android... moreAll your complaints about Google software (Youtube, Drive, etc) are universal changes to the apps, not changes to the versions installed on the phone.
Google Photos removed the unlimited storage of limited sources about 2 years ago. YouTube is currently changing their advertising policies to bypass ad-blockers. Google Drive removed their free upgrade offers about 4 years ago, with little warning and quiet or non-existent notifications.
Those are the apps I remember from your post. As for the total quiet or complete silence option (known in Android as "Do Not Disturb"), I have had to modify the quick links on my last 3 phones to return it to the quick links bar. Have you tried to edit the quick links? Click the pencil icon and look for the "Do Not Disturb" icon and drag it into the first 4 or 5 icon locations. You may then have to go into the Do Not Disturb settings to change them to silence all the alerts.

The phone, at first glance, seems amazing; The pure Android experience, flagship features at a fraction of the price. Anyone that buys a pixel generally is more interested in the software Google gives us than hardware boasts.
Though, once you start using it, you realize that a lot of it just copying off iPhones UX and shoving strange limitations down your throat. Very surprised as it used to be the complete opposite compared to other Android device manufacturers.
To name a few problems faced,
The pixel has disabled the option to move the date time widget on the main menu as well as the Google search bar. You cannot make an empty home screen.
There is no support or accomodation for 32 bit applications, and attempting to install them with give you a vague error saying it couldn't be installed.
You cannot manipulate the app drawer or hide apps.
You do not have the "total silence" button in the top menu.
The Google App, Google play store, YouTube app, all have an absurd amount of advertising shoved in your with no option to remove them; if you're using anything "Google" it will have ads.
The phone has certain camera settings that take ages to shoot with no apparent reason on why it takes so long.
Pixel's famous "unlimited storage" for videos and photos taken from the device has been silently removed. Not even a limited extra storage, you only get the standard 15GBs along with any Google account.
A lot of these are petty issues but the fact that a phone that used to pride in its immaculate user experience has been ruined with these strange rules and issues, and the phone feels far distant from what it was as envisioned to be.
All in all, a decent phone, but it has serious limitations that hinder the QoL with the phone.

chuck.norris, 12 May 2023That's why you should avoid the cheaper Xiaomi models ... moreActually it's not only second space that's the issue with Xiaomi phones. MIUI is just horrendous in bug fixing, security update support and in playing nice with setting non Xiaomi apps as defaults - especially custom launchers: no gesture support for custom launchers, really, Xiaomi? So the horrendous experience is not limited to cheap Xiaomi phones. Besides, the 256GB Poco F2 Pro is not EXACTLY cheap from Xiaomi's pricing standpoint. It costs closer to a flagship than a midrange Xiaomi.

Anonymous, 27 Apr 2023I know what I'm talking because I own 12 Xiaomi phones... moreThat's why you should avoid the cheaper Xiaomi models and just go for the flagships. At the very least, the community will have come up with stable ROMs that supports multi-user by the time Xiaomi stops OTA MIUI updates. You'll avoid changing phones too often too. I mean, 12 Xiaomi phones is a bit extreme don't you agree? Think of the carbon footprint each phone takes to produce. The e-waste.
Personally, I've been rocking the same Mi 9 for past 3 years on a new Android13 ROM.

Heads up - the European version is broken when used on the GSM900 band. 1/3rd of the calls drop, users also report loss of voice in calls. Only buy if your operator isn't shutting down 3G and/or has VoLTE for this device.

I will not recommend Google Pixel 7 to anyone as the mobile had speaker issue within 1 week. Within 3 months the mobile is completely dead and not charging etc. Mostly frustrating thing for a user is there is no local service center and we need to post it to Mumbai and get it repaired. The estimation given is 20 business days, we're living in a digital world, living without mobile phone is completely meaningless. A product which is 50k should last at least for 1 year, but 2 issues within 3 months is such a waste of time. Google should change their option of repair to replacement and repair the old product and sell it as a refurbished one instead of losing their customer. I will definitely not recommend this product to anyone.

manikandan r, 09 May 2023I will not recommend Google Pixel 7 to anyone as the mobile... moreIt's unfortunate to get a defective Pixel. Mine doesn't have any major/serious issues at all. (Bought it last year). Would suggest to have it replaced by Google rather than having it repaired. If Google doesn't replace it, it's time to shift brands. Trade it with a Samsung S23 There's an on going promo in the US and possibly some other countries. The Pixel 7 has a $245 trade in value. https://www.samsung.com/us/trade-in/
