John, 26 Oct 2022Yeah, below avarage battery life and really slow charging t... moreMe too maybe I will buy the Pixel 8 pro next year when it will have fast charging. Everything is nice except for the slow charging. I don't need that charging anxiety in 2022 I value my health.

    Anonymous, 26 Oct 2022Iphone = turtle charging and great battery life Pixel = tu... moreVery true. If the charging is too slow it's better you compasate with more SOT like iPhone.

      SizN80, 26 Oct 2022That battery is trash for a 2022 flagship, what a shame. No it's not

          Average battery life with poor charging time, worse combination.
          At least the Pro Max iPhones have very good battery life, even though the charging time is pretty much the same like the Pixels.
          I don't know what are Apple and Google excuses. Samsung S22 line-up (the same like S21 line-up for that matter), charges in 60 minutes. And the batteries are still protected for longer time. No need for super slow charging speeds. I mean almost 2h for a full charge in 2022, no way.
          And I am comparing with 25W/45W charging from Samsung. The comparison with 65W chargers, will be even more tragical for the Pixels.

            I have a few small things I could go list as pros/cons compared to S22 Ultra and everything else but there are no deal breakers at this point with the 7 Pro, I also had a 6 Pro. Looking at all the synthetic benchmarks they don't tell the whole story. I've had the 7 Pro for a week now and it just works, very well. Everything smooth, reception is great, battery life has been great for me as well. I am getting near the same battery life/performance as I did with the S22 Ultra. I don't game, don't to a ton of videos. It's mainly calling, texting, web browsing, and listening to music/podcasts. I've easily been able to get a day and a half the past few days. What a lot of review don't talk about is the ergonomics in terms of how much easier/more comfortable this device is to hold vs S22 Ultra. The ultra has hard corners where 7 Pro and iPhones have softer rounded corners which make it more pleasant to hold. Small stuff like that adds up. Unless you have a legit need for the S-Pen 7 Pro is the best android device out there. After all the things that went wrong with the 6 Pro when it launched and the crap cellular reception issues that couldn't be fixed with software updates, the 7 Pro comes out of the gate strong.

              AnonD-546724, 26 Oct 2022Still arguably the best pictures of any smartphone, and doe... moreNeed some copium? Tensor g2 is a bad chip,just admit it. it is far inferior to snapdragon and even exynos chipset. frequent overheating and low fps during gaming. of course like you said, benchmark dont mean a thing. But there are countless real world test on the tensor g2 performance and so far it is disappointing.

                  plenty of reviews say the battery life is bad under test, but I see very few complaints from real world users. in fact most say the battery life is surprisingly good, given the reviews. i've had the 7 Pro for a week and I'd say battery is definitely adequate at least.

                      what an embarrassing battery performance and phone to be honest by google
                      nearly two hours for a full charge? what is this 2014?

                        [deleted post]It's weird how it doesn't destroy low thread count benchmarks tho. Unless benchmarks don't utilize X cores, then that's weird from benchmark side.

                          Nick Tegrataker, 26 Oct 2022Great analysis. If I were to change one statement in your c... moreI do believe the Pixel 7 series compete in the very high end segment.

                          See the difference you quoted between chipsets ? in benchmarks, Antutu, geekbench and the likes, it appears to be huge. But in real life, you won't notice it. At all.
                          So you argue that my analysis is good, but in that very analysis I desmonstrate that, yet you're saying the opposite in yours...?

                          And no, Tensor ain't no mid-range chip, no mid-range chip could possibly pull such advanced imagery.

                              I am switching from the P6P to P7P and giving Pixel another chance. After using Xiaomis and Samsungs for a few years, the new Pixels are the best Android phones, IMO, overall. But I will probably switch to Apple next year, when the next version of the Apple Watch comes out, as its battery life is getting close to three days. Nothing else comes close in sensor accuracy and user experience.

                                In love with this phone. Switched from the S21+ to the 7 Pro.

                                  Guess why?

                                  I doubt pixel 7 pro reaches over 50 celsius while charging like xiaomi

                                    😂 😂 I want to seen how you testing battery life.
                                    Really I want to know it.
                                    I'm heavy user, phone replace my tablet and 98% laptop is well. Need minimum 8 hours on display.
                                    I got pixel 6 pro yes there is drain battery first 6 months was excellent then March features update was just terrible charge it 2 times a day.
                                    Now last 2 or 3 weeks I got Pixel 7 pro
                                    Phone is 9+ hours on display and still got 15% battery left. No issue with signal, WiFi or 5G.
                                    For me now is all day phone use.
                                    Yes slower charge then others but because is all day phone use I charge it over night wireless with no issue.
                                    Just really don't understand this battery test. It's really a way fair from real use.
