Regarding Google's pixel 7 and pixel 7 pro smartphones, what's really preventing them from being a true premium phone is that their tensor g2 chipset trails snapdragon 8 gen 2 and Apple's a16 bionic by too great of a margin in performance benchmarks and is compounded by also using a modem(exynos 5300g) that's clearly inferior to snapdragon x70 and snapdragon x65 modems used in 8 gen 2 and a16 bionic respectively. And to make matters worse for google(but great for snapdragon and apple) is that Google's next chipset (tensor g3) will be using that same outdated modem(exynos 5300g). So with that being said, the upcoming google pixel 8 and pixel 8 pro also will not be a true premium phone despite being powered by tensor g3 chipset possibility on a 3nm process.

There's no such thing as "free apps".
Some people pay with their wallets, others pay with their time (ads).
I've never felt iOS offered better value / features in the past 12 years since I started using smartphones.

We're talking about "the poor" in a macroeconomic sense. Per capita income in the U.S. is about $47,000 annually. In India it's just $3,560, according to the World Bank. One of these groups is "poor" by comparison.

Etcetera. Android can have the “Hee Haw” demographic. Apple doesn’t want it or need it; it’

I can confirm that the new fast Night Sight mode (which uses machine learning) can lead to blurry results in comparison with the long Night Sight mode. It seems that the new fast Night Sight mode has issues to align frames correctly. I noticed this when I took a photo of text in decent light conditions. The issue is reproducible.

That's why apple users pay for the apps , don't rely on free cheap junk .

Note that 4k video zoom doesn't use the 48 megapixel mode of the periscope sensor. 4k video crops the 12 megapixel mode of the sensor.

I love The Pixel 7 Pro new look and colors of the phone, also the 7 Pro specs are great! The LTPO OLED 120 Hz Display is what I expected in this phone, this display is so great with colors, black level, and HDR! The 5000 mAh Battery is the best for a high-end phone that uses more high processor to run. This phone is very smooth to use even when gaming it is not getting heated up because of the RAM and processor! I like the triple camera which is cool, a 50 MP wide camera, a 12 MP ultrawide camera, and a 48 MP telephoto camera which gives out the best quality images! Overall this phone is great but does have cons which all the phone does, software bugs, fingerprint sensors, and battery life which is not good but they can be enhanced with future updates!
As I was searching for many cases for my Pixel 7 Pro, they all looked the same and made the phone bulky to use so I got this 3m skin from Gadgetshieldz which can self-heal the scratches and stick well and love the new look!

By the way, I have tried the long exposure feature and it is unrealistic nonsense. The camera decides which objects should be blurry and which objects should be sharp, apparently with machine learning. So when you are in a room and simply move the phone, the long exposure feature will make certain areas of the room super sharp while other areas of the room get the long exposure effect. Looks totally unrealistic and has nothing to do with a true long exposure.

The Delayed Pixel 7 Review seems like something has gone terribly wrong from Google's side and dudes here are confused if they mention it in the review or not.

Ar first I thought that the 2x camera can give you slightly better macro photos, but I have tested it again and it seems that the ultra wide angle camera can indeed give you slightly better macro photos. But the autofocus is quite bad and focus lock doesn't work correctly.

Looks like primary camera has popping eye, like a clown. Nonsense bump. Bad design. How will you catch trending market.
