Notice how the A54 is at the bottom of the benchmarks

    Stay away from any pixel, as long as it's a samsung with another name!! when google returns to make solid devices like the pixel 2xl was at the time, I will return

        I love the rating-to-pros/cons weigh up comparison BC there is no reason to consider this at all imo

          "Very slow charging, so-so battery life." -GSMArena

          This is the biggest con making me not to make a shift to Pixel phones. Still waiting for 80W charging minimum I don't know when! Maybe when 🍏 makes the change Google might copy too otherwise I will stay clear for now 🖐️

            Anders, 26 May 2023Absolutely terrible battery life No microSD No headphone ... moreYou forgot slow charging

              1:57h 🤮

                Absolutely terrible battery life
                No microSD
                No headphone jack
                Huge ugly bezels
                Only 128GB storage with no storage expansion
                Only 90hz display
                Disappointing cameras overall
                Chipset has throttling problems

                But people will still defend this and say it's a good phone

                  Was interested to see the battery endurance on this one but unfortunately it ended up pretty lackluster. However the initial review highlighted excellent battery endurance over the course of a typical day. Maybe these tests aren't all that?

                    expensive for what you get, small screen, only 90hz, big bezels, very poor battery life, old cpu comparable to a 2 year old exynos, throttling cpu, no card slot, no headphone jack, why does google even bother making these phones

                      "Don't get a Pixel 7 - pick the 7a instead"

                      Wrong. Why keep insisting on this idea? The 7 actually costs almost the same as the 7a and has some nice advantages: premium build with glass GG victus all around and better ip68 protection. This alone is substancial. Little bit bigger screen with smaller chin and bezels, again, premium feeling. Camera sensors are a bit better in the 7 and even with google "magic", you'll see a difference in photos and videos. The wireless charge is more than double the power in the 7 which will make it charge faster and it has reverse charge which the 7a doesn't have. Seems like gimmicks but it ain't and all summed up, for almost the same price, the 7 is the better deal. Period. The 7a should be priced €449 and not €500.

                        Meh.
                        Pixels seem like good phones in general, but the weak battery life is a huge NO for me.
                        At that price, I just want my phone to last 2 days of normal use, not barely a day, and I don't want the "super fast" charging to compensate like other brands do.

                          Despite the cons, I still like it. Everything I need to upgrade from my Galaxy A13.

                          Very nice phone.

                            This GSMArena endurance ratings totally lost me.

                              How the hell can Pixel with stock android 1080p 90hz screen and a 4400 battery have so mediocre battery life??

                              Thats even worse than S21 FE which had a Snap888 and a 120hz display.

                              At least the screen brightness is higher than Pixel 7.

                                Poor stablity in gpu and cpu and poor battery, google should change strategy and use better chipset from qualcomm or mediatek and make new tensor chip.

                                  So weak battery life, weak processor and slow charging? Really disappointing

                                    Wow this turned out to be a pretty average device, the battery seems horrible..

                                      The worst thing is that this piece of garbage has the same soc as the sticky one for almost 2 thousand dollars hahahahaha you'll see the complaints rain down

                                        " The way the Pixels capture color is both vibrant and true-to-life and it was giving us consistently accurate white balance."

                                        Unless objects are painted in vibrant colours (which I see is not the case ), it is either vibrant or true to life. Cannot be both in any scene shown here.
