The phone is not amazing, but it's very good. Coming from a previous Samsung flagship S series user, I can tell the following:
1-Screen is relatively dim, I have struggled in direct sunlight and while driving and using this phone for navigation. A 90Hz screen is not a noticeable drawback here, it does well for me.
2- Processor is good, it's fast enough for an average or even an above average user. It does frequently overheat when using the camera a lot, making phone calls and using mobile data, especially 5G.
3- Camera, in a one word description, is amazing. It takes amazing shots, automatically processes images into even nice photos and video shooting is very good as well. However, if you use it a lot or shoot videos for more than 5-10 mins, the phone will heat up.
4- Battery, in short, will not get you through the day if you're an average or above average user. Switch network to 5G and it would definitely not get you through the day.
In short, this phone has got very nice animations, simple UI, an amazing camera and a fairly good processor. However, if it was not for the price I got it for (a good 50% deal from Currys) I would stick to Samsung mid-higher range series for the better screen, battery, processor and overall experience.
Keep in mind though that the new screens on pixel 8 and 9 phones have been significantly improved, I don't think the power management and heating issues have been though. I also don't like how the company is charging premium prices for devices that are still in development and are not keeping up with the competition

I'm interested in getting this one. But i wonder which AI-features that are regionally locked? I don't live in the US, nor am I live in a country which Google has official launch their devices. I wanna know what features that I will miss

Flaz, 12 Jul 2024Wow really? I have a mate 20 actually and just ordered the... moreSame here the P7 is on sale, roughly at the same price as the Nothing phone 2a now. Looking at the comparison tool on GSM Arena the battery life doesn't look much worse and it's a better chipset and camera. Does this look like a good deal or just too many bugs with the P7? Which do people recommend?

pixel 7 life only 13 months for me, pixel 7 is Screen Off or Switced off while use in my hand automatically , not Charge issue and Never Switch on . its DEAD* ........ my question to Google Pixel Team, what did they Made this Stupid Phone. many bugs-software issue -heat issue -netwok issue- battery life issue- services centre not Nearly. There are many companies in the world, yet we trust these google Pixel companies but this too bad. then why we choise Pixel.

I have a mate 20 actually and just ordered the pixel 7 cuz it was on sale here, 269€ but I'm afraid I'll regret my purchase: my mate 20 is still incredibly fast, battery lasts two days, headphone jack, the only issue is camera, it got really worse after the update.

Moved to a pixel 7 from a p30 pro and wish I never bothered. The charging is slower, the user interface isn't as user friendly imo, even little things like no step counter on the lock screen is annoying. I've saved my fingerprint 5 times in the hope the sensor might recognise it at some stage. The camera is decent, as is the camera software but apart from that I've found it very disappointing. It's enough to make me never get another pixel when I'm finished with this contract which can't come quick enough.

So first, I am still pissed at Motorola for doing away with Force. I own a bunch of now worthless mods, that were pretty cool at the time . This I spent a lot of time researching my next phone . Generally the pixel 7 pro is a great phone. But it has a couple of drawbacks. One is that you cannot just cast the phone on Roku TVs. You have to go through a bunch gyrations and or devices to do so. My work around is to use an old Samsung phone that still has WiFi.

Osma, 13 Apr 2023I decided not to buy a phone with a breakable rear camera glass.So it means you won’t have any phone ever, am I right?

VS, 10 Jul 2023I still use oneplus 6. Maybe a 5 years now. I never charge ... moreI've owned a OnePlus 1, OnePlus 2, OnePlus 5, OnePlus 8 Pro, plus was a mod right at the beginning of the OnePlus forums. Time flies and use a different brand of phone now.
The OnePlus 6 Dash Charge charges from 0% to 60% in roughly 35mins. But to charge from 60% to 100% takes a additional 45mins give or take. Fast for it's time but now many phones that charge way way way faster!
The later OnePlus 10T 160W SuperVOOC charges from 0% to 100% in roughly 23 minutes. iQOO 10 Pro 200W charges from 0% to 100% in roughly 10 minutes. Redmi Note 12 Explorer 210W charges from 0% to 100% in roughly 9 minutes
Even a prototype Infinix phone that's getting released later this year 260W charges from 0% to 100% in roughly 6 & half minutes. It's getting to the stage you will soon be able to fully charge your phone quicker than it takes to make a cup of coffee haha.

I just plug in in the morning, while having coffee i am good to go for all day. No issues with the battery even after 5 years of using it. My oneplus have quite old technology compared to newest phones and still charges faster. It would be pain for me, if my phone must hang on cable for 2 hours.
