Somehow I'm not impressed. It didn't even run Geekbench? What else can we expect to be a problem?
On the other hand, photos are impressive, but if I wanted a camera, I'd buy one. I expect more from a phone.

    Looking trough the samples it seems that only the normal pixel 7 is doing debayering work for the 2x zoom. All the 2x samples from the picel 7 pro seems like the usual 2x upscaled zoom from pixel 6 pro, what a disappointment!!
    Pretty weird, I remember using a modified gcam on my mi 9t pro and the 48mp samples were GREAT, almost as good as the ones from iphone 14 pro.
    Why google refuse to put more effort into this?

        "Using a revamped version of the Super Res Zoom feature, the Pixel 7 Pro can produce some remarkable results. 2x and 3x zoom on the main camera produce very usable results."
        Not at all. Is this a joke? The sample images. look nearly identical to upscaled crops from the 1x images.

          I've already seen 2 reviewers who have said this critter gets pretty hot! you know if there are no bugs it's not pixel, we'll have to give it a few weeks to really know if it's worth it or not

            "due to a wider field of view and low native sensor resolution."
            It's 12 megapixels like the 12 megapixel Bayer array modes of the main camera. So the resolution isn't lower.

              Ok, now I’m confused does the ultra wide on the standard pixel 7 have autofocus or not?Because the Google store itself doesn’t think so:

              Pixel 7 Pro = 12 MP ultrawide camera with auto-focus
              Pixel 7 = 12 MP ultrawide camera

              This article though seems to suggest otherwise 🤷

                  Got the Pixel 7 pro today and I love it. I'm coming from a Poco F2 Pro and everything feels significantly better. Camera is miles better. Zoom pictures look really great IMO. Software seems very good and battery life is also very promising so far.

                      Meh, not really much different than the p6. same outdated 5nm G2 and mkbhd said the fp scanner was the same. Google's playing us.

                        Krillo, 12 Oct 2022Pixel 7 or Motorola Edge 30 Neo for almost half price?just for that Google Tensor G2

                          I wonder if it is time to buy Pixel 6a for around 360€.

                              Super-res zoom is not nearly as effective as using full unbinned sensor resolution. But for some reason, Google refuses to do that.

                                This will crush every iphone or samsung phones
