It's because many are so identified with a brand like Apple, Samsung or Google that such brands get away with removing very useful functionality like 3.5 mm jack, expandable memory, LED and so on. It's more profitable to sell wireless headphones, cloud storage, expensive internal memory and bad under display fingerprint readers. Because the identification with brand you cannot be critical, that would be to be critical of yourself.

With now new and updated Geekbench 6 out, Tensor G2 seem to benchmark so much higher than before, now scoring around 1400/3700 which is in between Snapdragon 888 and 8 Gen+ 1, while before it ranked below SD 888.

Good news for Pixel 7 / Pixel 7 Pro owners who use their Pixel phone in unsupported countries! There's a workaround to enable VoLTE and VoWifi in your Pixel 7/7 Pro without rooting. I can confirm this method works but, you have to do the ADB command every time the Pixel phone restarts. (The only way VoLTE is permanent even after rebooting is if your Pixel 7/7 Pro is rooted). You just need to download ADB installer for Windows PC and the entire procedure is quite easy and risk free (compared to rooting which can brick your Pixel phone if done incorrectly):

Id, 20 Feb 2023It exist on pixel 2 xlPixel 2XL is an old, old phone from 2017. As mentioned, most phones, especially flagship ones removed it since 2016. The last that still have it removed them in 2017 and 2018. By 2019, it's already very difficult to find one (notification LED) even on midrange phones. It's now 2023 so you probably have been living in a cave.

The phones that I, and decent people like me, want are pocket-friendly, lightweight, compact, all-in-one mobiles. Not a big size mobile like this.(Google Pixel 1,2,3,4,4A,5 are similar size mobiles) these size mobiles with new features.

AEFA, 14 Feb 2023Pixel 7 is not a flagship and can't compared to Samsu... moreWell you can compare how the low light photo of the Pixel 7 compares to the Samsung S series flagships. It beats them. Also, the Google photos features (magic eraser, photo unblur, etc.), are superior to Samsung S flagships. Pixel 7 also superior in boot up times, software and security updates, and overall smoothness of the scrolling and fluidity and finess of the the interface. For everything else, the Samsung S flagships massacre the Pixel 7.

In reality the screen is pretty cheap, with low resolution. Even Pixel 4 XL has much better screen resolution! The camera takes perfect shots but the only a way to enjoy those pictures is to download them and watch on a phone with better screen or a monitor as Pixel 7 low res screen doesn't let you see how good pictures are.

R.bartlett, 07 Feb 2023Wow never had a phone so over rated . I foolishly bought on... moreYou probably just had a lemon or was expecting way too much. The Pixel 7 battery life is actually pretty good. Gsmarena.com even mentions it in their review as one of the 'Pros'. My personal experience has been it outperforms my Samsung M23 5G despite the latter having a much lower powered processor and despite having a bigger 5000mAh battery.
As for heating issues, yes the Pixel 7 can heat up for some processor intensive tasks but nothing excessive or uncontrolled or abnormal or out of the ordinary for a flagship phone with powerful flagship grade processor.
Maybe you are on 5G network all the time which means faster battery drain and more heating compared to 4G only or 3G only or mixed use? Or maybe you are a heavy gamer?
Also, if the Pixel 7 is your first flagship phone, then you probably didn't know flagships in general heat up a lot more when under heavy processor load than midrange phones with lower powered processor. If you want minimal heating, you can opt for midrange phones powered by midrange processors. Of course, some flagships have better thermal designs so if you can't tolerate the heat from the Tensor processors or Exynos processors, then you may buy another flagship with snapdragon processor and from a manufacturer with better thermal design. But then again they may not perform as well as the Pixel 7 from a photography or software experience standpoint.
