WtfUTalkinBout, 10 Jul 2024This comment makes no sense and has no idea what he's ... moreI don't know what you are talking about. The 7 Pro has no manual focus option. My comment is very clear.
As I said: "the manual lens selection doesn't let you choose the 233mm and 48mm cameras."
And "already without this "feature" you could force the periscope camera by zooming more), but it doesn't avoid that the camera app uses a crop from the 116.5mm camera instead of using the 233mm camera in low light conditions".
Even Google's engineers themselves note in the exif data whether the 12 megapixel 233mm camera (no binning) was used or whether they used a crop from the 12 megapixel 117mm camera (analog binning).

The beta update worked great with "Pro" mode and manual focus is better than other devices. Still has lowlight issues with a bit of noise, but can be fixed in post.

Google's latest feature drop is said to include manual lens selection for Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro, but for the 7 Pro, this feature is basically useless.
The 7 Pro actually has 5(!) cameras (five different fields of view with 12 megapixel) due to analog pixel binning: 13.4mm, 24mm(binning), 48mm, 116.5mm(binning), 233mm (whereas the 6 Pro always uses binning and only has three). And the manual lens selection doesn't let you choose the 233mm and 48mm cameras.
So, manual lens selection avoids that the camera app chooses a crop from the main camera instead of using the periscope camera in low light conditions (in contrast to the 6 Pro, this happens rarely, furthermore, already without this "feature" you could force the periscope camera by zooming more), but it doesn't avoid that the camera app uses a crop from the 116.5mm camera instead of using the 233mm camera in low light conditions (this happens always), so this feature is nearly useless for 7 Pro users!
And in contrast to the Pixel 8 Pro, you can't save 50 megapixel 116.5mm photos, which would nearly solve this issue. So, really not useful. Even manual focus would be more useful.

I've had my pixel 7 pro for 3 weeks after using a OnePlus 6T for 4½ years and can easily say that I should of considered the OnePlus 11 more closely.
the pixel is a good phone... very good camera & video with lots of useful options... but in comparison to even my old mobile there are notable short comings.. there's alot of annoying Google stuff embedded into the phone...you cannot even remove Google weather icon or search bar from the home screen plus your stuck with a large notification area wether you want it or not..hardly customisable..i so wish it had volume shortcut for the lock screen as well, the alert slider button to the side is sorely missed from OnePlus.
as i say..it is a good mobile phone.. but if you've a OnePlus or iPhone already then stick with it.
mediocre, I'm re-charging every evening.

I travel alot and what is important is clear crystal picture so I can its excellent mobile especially zooming and photo stabilizer , basically its good for spying and taking crystal clear picture esp telescopic camera which x 30 zoom .which is amazing . its also good if you going for conferences and taking picture of slides.
some negative points:
1: regarding magic eraser its useless, it make the picture ugly so if buying it for this reason then don't w aste your money.
2: battery certainly let you down, now a days we use mobile all day unfortunately the battery doesn't last more than 8hr so always have back up battery or the fast charger line which come with it .
otherwise 7pro and 8pro are the best phones among all pexils

Very underated phone. Price is very low compared to quality of this phone. I own it and phone is brutal! Camera is perfect, phone never freeze or lag.

I recently compared the camera of my Pixel 7 Pro with the S23 Ultra in a store. I took photos of distant objects at 360mm (approximately 15x) because Google's image processing is very bad between 20x and 30x (a 2x crop from a 15x photo is often better than a 30x photo) and because Samsung's S23 Ultra can produce fake details due to machine learning at 30x.
I also used Google's short Night Sight mode because this makes the periscope camera deliver more detail.
This is usually not tested in reviews and the result was that the Pixel 7 Pro was definitely a tiny bit better than the S23 Ultra regarding distant objects.
I also tried turning on Samsung's night mode (which is only available at 10x), but distant objects still looked a tiny bit worse.
But note that I tested multiple Pixel 7 Pro units when I bought the 7 Pro and the image quality as well as the image stabilization of the periscope camera varies. That's another thing that isn't tested by reviews.

And I must say it is absolutely incredible at taking pictures and videos, to me the performance and other aspects of this phone that it lacks in are not really important.

It is very annoying that no 3rd party app lets you save raw files with the 0.6x, 2x, 5x or 10x zoom camera modes (so you basically lose 4 cameras when you use a 3rd party app) because the stock camera app doesn't offer manual settings like manual focus or manual exposure time and this makes many photos bad. The stock camera app doesn't let you use the approximately 12 megapixel 10x mode for astrophotography either.

It gives me problems with a lot of my own downloaded apps. The camera suddenly closes. It gets hot, fast. The touchcreen isn't that good, if you put gorilla glas on. The screen frees. Don't, don't buy this phone

It seems the only ones who find value in the Pixels are camera nuts, and Google fans.
Still like to know who makes their phone tho.

Had this phone for a few months. Whilst the camera is amazing and the battery life decent it's the software that is not as good as Samsung's flagships. WiFi and connectivity issues are frequent and resetting network settings fixes things but is inconvenient. WiFi calling is not available on most networks although Google will blame your operator. It's almost too clever in that setting up Sonos speakers for example the phone will not smoothly switch to non internet WiFi and back making it impossible to set up a Sonos system with the phone. As time has gone by mobile call quality has diminished and calls cut out. I have had the phone replaced by Google by the way. The same problems occurred. I'm switched to the Samsung Galaxy S22 5g and have no regrets at all. There is a clear reason why Google's flagship is cheaper. You get what you pay for.

I was upset with that phone because it has Google finder permanently on the bottom and I want to have it on the top as well I want to manage NOTIFICATIONS BAR BUTTONS and it doesn't have this option. As well I went on the stock market and temperature rises to 41°C and kept hot. Battery drow to fast.

I have a Pixel 7 Pro since the release and Google doesn't care at all about the camera bugs. Focus lock often still doesn't work 6 months after the release of the 7 Pro! Unbelievable. Then there was another bug, where the camera didn't save flashlight zoom photos in not good light conditions. I reported this bug in October. After nearly 6 months, Google has finally managed to fix this bug when the pressure got too high. But the update that has fixed the bug has introduced a more severe bug: Now the camera app occasionally doesn't save Night Sight periscope photos. Deleting cash and user data didn't help, I had to manually install the previous camera version with the flashlight bug because this bug is more annoying than the flashlight bug.
There are many other camera bugs, too many in order to mention them. For example, the preview can be sometimes totally wrong regarding the brightness, the preview also often has a different white balance than the photo. Often, the live photo video can look better than the final photo.

I got my pixel pro in February 2022 switched from an iphone mini 13 and I don't think I'll ever go back to apple. I love this phone. I don't know why they said slow charge because mine went from 2% to 90% in 30 minutes. The camera is great. I could zoom pretty far away, the letters are clear and I've yet to have it glitch. It's oled screen is amazing for watching videos and the speakers to play music is super loud compared to the 6a and 6 pro. I highly recommend this phone to anyone
