"muh security updates". You must be such an important individual that they're trying to hack into your phone, lol.
"Enjoy" your 2 year old performance which is worse than sd888, inefficiency and overheating.
Even in states its worth paying extra for the headphone jack and way better processor, much better future-proofing. I think the endurance rating is more representative of real life use than just hours of video playback and web browsing. Standby battery drain etc matter a lot. Don't try to defend terrible G2 don't try to argue sun rises form west, you'll look foolish.
Rog phones don't have OIS and have unnecessary features for most people.

No 3.5mm jack no buy, 28 Oct 2022How could a sane person buy this instead of Zenfone 9 is be... moreZenfone 9 is about $150 more, and yes I've searched properly, unless you're including some kinda ebay deal that only one person can buy or you're talkin about the overseas versions that don't support full LTE and 5G bands in the states. But if you're looking at the actual US model of the Zenfone 9, not the Chinese model, then the Zenfone 9 is about $150 more than the pixel 7 from a reputable seller. Lets combine this with the fact that the Zenfone 9 only gets 2 years of updates and 3 years of security updates while the Pixel 7 gets 3 years of updates and 5 years of security updates. You also get access to some of the google suite subscription stuff for free with a pixel 7 device. Battery life isn't too different. The Pixel 7 gets 14:23 hours of web browsing and 19:49 hours of video playback while the Zenfone 9 gets 15.07 of web browsing and 17:25 for video playback. Thus making them nearly the same in real world battery life. You'll also actually get good trade in value for the Pixel 7 in the future if you decide to upgrade your device while the Zenfone 9 will net you $0 for any trade in. You could try to resell it but you won't get much vs the crazy good trade in deals these days. Pixel 6 is going for only ~$350 on ebay where as Best Buy was offering $480 + $100 gift card for the Pixel 6 if you trade in for a pixel 7. Thats was $230 more than what you could have gotten on ebay.
In the end the only thing really "better" on the Zenfone 9 is the processor for gaming. If processor performance is your number 1 priority then yea I guess the Zenfone 9 is better but you can get much better devices for "gaming" such as the ROG phone 6 which actually costs about the same as the Zenfone 9 right now.

Anonymous, 28 Oct 2022The Moto edge 30 Fusion is a really strong competitor here.... moreAgreed. I'm very tempted by the edge 30 fusion. For me I think the lower price and bigger screen of the Motorola ( and lighter weight) is probably the one I'll pick but still undecided. Do I want to pay extra for the longer update life? Probably not as I always change phone every few years anyway.

Why is it that if I connect it to the computer, it recognizes the P7 with one side of the usb c connector, if I turn the connector over, it only charges? it should recognize the phone on both sides.

Anonymous, 28 Oct 2022Speaker quality is actually really bad. Yeah a weird one, in the review itself they say it's good loudness with a pretty vague mention of them being the same as the 6 but in the verdict they state them as being superb ??

You should also add the Xiaomi 12X to the alternatives. What it lacks in horsepower it makes up in endurance and it's cheaper than the 12.

Krillo, 28 Oct 2022How is the Motorola Edge 30 Neo doing against this phone, f... moreUpdate policy is poorer on Motorola. Has a plastic build. No Gorilla Glass nor IP86 but I could be wrong. Does have a faster refresh rate and faster charging though. The cameras on the Pixel are better. The screen is brighter too. The Neo is a great device in itself so it all comes down to preferences.

How is the Motorola Edge 30 Neo doing against this phone, for around half the price? Better battery and very fast charging, where is the catch?

This is the real star of the Pixel 7 lineup IMO.
Great features+performance and respectable battery life.
Heck I for one know I'd buy this over my iPhone 13 Pro if this was available when I wanted a new phone.

I don't understand your statement about region dependent software features. I have a 6a, and live in the Philippines. And I think I have the same Google software as everyone else.
