Have had the phone for a year. Mostly good experience, but am very careful about overcharging. That said, the battery has degraded more than expected and the phone commonly runs warm and the snappiness is gone. My long-term store is 6.5/10

... I would go for Samsung again.
I will try some other brands, and I don't think I will buy another Google phone in the foreseeable future.

Better pictures I have had on my Samsung Galaxy S21, S9 and I would say even S7 pictures are better as they're more natural.
After many years with Samsung (I had S5 also) I wanted some change and I wanted phone with no or with less bloatware, because Samsung is putting more and more rubbish that is not possible to uninstall. Otherwise

It will help improve your credibility since you never answered the previous questions as to which older phone brands defeat the Pixel 7 in the camera department.

Anonymous, 30 Sep 2023Ever heard of pixel binning? Every phone does it.Yes. It is misleading and pointless crap: more pixels to process for no reason.
With bad Google software results are pictures that are worse than 12 megapixel pictures with no processing in some midrange phone.
I compared pictures on my Pixel 7 with pictures taken with workmate, to make sure my phone is not defective. Both phones make equally crap pictures, and especially bad and unnaturally look peoples’ faces.

I have to go many years back to find what is the phone that is beaten by pixel 7.
Is 50mpx needed or not is irrelevant.
Google should not lie. It is 12.5, not 50, simple as that.

Oh my God..
You searched everything about camera being baf on Pixel 7, but you didn't check anything about quad bayer system camera.
Do it.
And then compare 48/50/56/100/108/160/200MP taken photos with the results of "just" 12 or 12.5 or 24MP.
Do it.
Just do it.

Google is bastard that ruined Internet experience ... moreWhich internet company then do you recommend that doesn't spy or make a profile of you based on the sites you visit (your interests), the articles/news you read, the photos you take a long time to watch and scroll? Do you really, honestly think there's one that doesn't profile you at all? Even iPhones do that despite Apple's rosy claims they 'care' about your privacy.

I’ve been using this phone for a week after upgrading from a 6a and I’m satisfied so far.
I wanted to stay with Google bc I’m really happy with the software experience. (Some background: I’ve owned multiple iPhones and Samsung galaxies in the past, and also an ipad pro 10.5 that I’ve been using daily for years). Android on Pixel phones is very snappy, has very few bugs and tons of small features that add up to make the whole OS really convenient to use. It feels like it was designed by people who think the same way as I do. Bonus point: the updates don’t randomly change the battery life by a noticeable margin (looking at you, Apple)
In terms of hardware, going from the 6a to the 7 isn’t like a huge upgrade. But still, here are some differences I’ve noticed:
- Gorilla Victus feels better than Gorilla 3 (fingers slide more smoothly on it)
- the brightness is much better
- quite a bit heavier in the hand. Takes some getting used to
- the cellular connexion is significantly more reliable
- 90Hz display feels a lot smoother
- the camera takes sharper images and autofocus is faster although the colors sometimes seem worse
- the microphone is better
Overall a nice experience and a nice phone, especially if you can get a used one for 200-300€.
A more efficient SOC such as the latest SD, a telephoto lens and a top of the line sensor would make this phone absolutely amazing. Hopefully Pixel 8 will get close to that

Younger people do not know what was Internet 10 or 20 years ago. Today it is 90% crap. Thanks to Google. It looked free, but it's not. Nothing is free in real World. Google is taking from all of us...

Avoid Xiaomi at all costs if: (1) you use a custom launcher, (2) you care about regular and timely software updates and (3) you don't want a buggy software experience.

Hello! I am now user of OP 6.
Which one would you pick of thouse 3: OP Nord 3, Poco F5, Pixel 7?
I don't game, just want smooth and stable device with normal battery and normal (not from stone age) charging speed. I use my Fuji interchangeable camera for photography, don't need super camera. A lot of time maps and Waze running. Being a lot outside in cold and wet, running, swimming. Would be cool to have decent selfie camera.
Maybe another model in this price range?
IMPORTANT NOTE: as there are lot of samsung fanboys i need to say that i will never look in samsung or iphone side.

It's probably not sealed and brand new. There are many unscrupulous online sellers that sell defective or refurbished Pixels as brand new. Never buy online unless a seller is trustworthy (sells only sealed, brand new phones) and has excellent return policy.
