Christopher Gore –
I bought the Pixel 7 Pro 4 months ago (new… not used or from a 3rd party seller), and it has incrementally been causing me to regret buying it. Either I didn’t do enough deep-dive research on this phone, or the hype that’s been building with the Pixel brand of phones over the years has been fabricated. Either way… lesson learned.My issues with this phone have thus far been:1) No matter how much adjusting of the screen & display setting, the screen randomly-to-always responds to finger and/or other pressure sensing to cause the screen to light up. Even in my shirt pocket it will randomly “activate”, and by the time I have pulled it out, the phone has various apps opened. For transparency, I’m one who prefers to not have a screen lock, therefore I shouldn’t have to have one set just to prevent what I just mentioned from happening. Screen lock is supposed to be for security reason… not because the device is glitchy and whatnot.2) More times than not, when I plug the phone up to a proper charging cable & adapter, or better, it will ding and screen light up every few seconds indicating it’s charging like when it is first connected to the charger. Seems like it isn’t charging correctly or there’s a malfunction in the phone’s circuitry. I have tried numerous chargers & cables… same thing. But it isn’t every single time… just most of the time.3) Many times when I am ready to close an app, I have to tap on the bottom screen controls numerous times until it finally responds and does what it’s supposed to do. And I do not use a screen protecting cover… just a case enclosure to protect the body and to keep the phone feeling like a wet bar of soap slipping from my hand when holding it.4) Installing the monthly security updates takes freaking forever! A 40MB – 500MB update should not take very long to install on a current model flagship spec’d phone. It takes so long that the screen timeout feature set to longest possible of 30-minutes (which is absurd that one can’t have the option to choose longer like the good ole days). Once the screen times out, the update is paused until you turn the screen back on, which in turn causes the update process to assume you’re using your phone and states that the update can’t proceed while the phone is in use. You’d think telling the update process to resume would just pick up where it left off and maybe hopefully finish, right?… Nope! It starts all over again! The only way I can get the monthly update to install is to stay in front of my phone to keep an eye on it and to press the Volume up or down button every so often to prevent the screen from timing out and to not accidentally “use” my phone by tapping on the screen or whatever else. It generally takes 1-2 hours to install the update, which is ridiculous! The download part happens smooth & quick, so it’s not a Wi-Fi or using cellular connection scenario… it’s the installation part.EDIT to #4… God forbid any app on your phone throws up just a simple notification at the top. For instance, today April 10th 2023 while trying to get the 40.97 MB monthly update to install, after an hour went by and it was (is) still installing, my Amazon app had a notification come through, without popping up over the update process mind you… just the icon in the upper left corner, the daggum install process “paused” claiming it can’t process the update while the phone is in use. WHAT?!?! So tell me, Google… are your customers expected to have to turn off any & all app background operations, disable all possible notifications/reminders/alerts/etc., text everyone we know to not to attempt to contact you in any way prior to trying to install a month 40 MEGABYTE file that takes 1-2 hours to install?… and every month at that?5) Bluetooth connectivity… over the past month or so, the Bluetooth will be a 50/50 if it’ll connect to any of my Bluetooth devices when it never had a problem before. Even removing & repairing the devices doesn’t fix it. I have to try & try many times most of the time now for the phone to connect and stay connected to the devices. Even power cycling the phone (rebooting) doesn’t help.6) Also, over the past couple of months I have noticed that when I video call with someone, it has been getting worse on the battery during those times. What I mean is, when plugging the phone in to recharge while still using the phone. It used to recharge, albeit slowly, while I would be videoing with another, but now it will either just remain at the battery level its at when plugging it in, or even still drop a % or two. Even my older phones still re-charge while in video call use. Understandable that the re-charge would be slower due to device usage of video calling, but now being stagnate or even still discharging?7) And now, the phone has begun to overheat rapidly when using the phone since the March 2023 security Update. More so when video calling to the point where the phone cuts off… even with the case removed. It’ll be so hot I can’t even hold the phone until it cools off. I have ruled out the Messenger & Skype apps being the issue since I have other Android phones with the latest app version updates of those, and no battery re-charge drain or overheating issues with those. But it’ll also overheat when using other non-video or intense processing apps too in a short amount of time when it never did before. And I always clear out background running apps when I’m done using them every time… so that’s not the issue either.What makes this even more astonishingly absurd to me is, Android is a Google OS software and the Pixel line of phones are a Google hardware product… but yet the Android driven Pixel phones are the ones who seem to be arguably suffering the worst in many critical areas. It’s almost as if they want to punish customers who chose to pay them money instead of going to a competitor. I’m beginning to think Google is now being ran & operated by BARD.The rest of my complaints are more or less personal nit-picks like… can’t remove the date & weather nor the Google search at the bottom from the home screen, can’t increase the screen timeout time longer than 30-minutes, no LED indicator when the screen is off if there are new notifications or if the battery is done charging, random out of the blue phone restarts for no rhyme or reason even when there is no updates… to name a few.Sadly, I can’t return this purchase given that it’s been over 30-days, and Google support is of no help either. So much for having a warranty when they won’t honor it. I highly recommend staying away from Pixel phones.

Very pleasant to use, screen looks great, found myself opening the camera and enabling 4k / 60fps video and jeeeeeez, i don’t think reality even looks that good. I will say tho, there are so many sick features on this bad boy that the battery does take a beating if you like to have it all, but its worth it. Just probably don’t turn on all the gears and bits if you are going to be relying on calling that person on your long drive through the middle of nowhere when you break down and don’t have a charger (shame on you if it’s not your first time). They make this phone with quality in mind. Some of the gestures are a bit strange but you pick them up as time goes on and it becomes intuitive.

I have only truly loved one cell phone. That was my Samsung Galaxy S4. My Galaxy S1 was so cheap it didn’t even have a flashlight. My S7 annoyed my so much I literally threw it out the window. I upgraded to the Pixel 3XL.That was a (mostly) good phone. From day 1, the internal GPS was messed up so it never told my Nest thermostat I was home, and the thermostat would always change to away mode while I was still in the house. Using store apps was also difficult as it would think I wasn’t in Walmart, or Home Depot, and not allow me to search for items in the stores.C’est la vie, I lived with it for 4 years, until it’s quirks and foibles had me to the point where I smacked it with my fist and cracked the screen. So much for Gorilla Glass. No bother, I scored the 7 Pro on sale.The 7 Pro keeps some great and useful features from the 3Xl, such as double tap the screen when it’s off to bring up the lock screen. Love that. I’m a troglodyte and basically use my phone to talk, text, browse, and take the (very) occasional picture. I could easily get away with a midrange phone, but I like big screens, and fast processors. The sale price was a good deal, so I bought this.Features I love that were not on my 3XL; double tap the back to perform a preset command. You can use it to take a screenshot or pause the media you’re playing, etc. Very handy! The lock screen gives the option to have the clock in one grid, as opposed to the 3XL, once it was updated to Android 10, wherein the clock was split into top and bottom for hours and minutes.The phone seems a good deal faster than the 3XL. The upgrade to Gorilla Glass Victus from GG5 should hopefully help prevent damage. I don’t know whether it’s the GGV, or the liquid glass I had applied to the screen for protection, but the glass attracts a lot of dust! I must clean it regularly. I also don’t really care for the curved glass on the screen edges. I’m not really sure what the point of that is, but it can make reading text difficult, and it can cut off letters on the edges. It is a big phone, which is what I wanted, but it will be difficult to perform one-handed operations unless you have big hands like myself. Even then, it can be a chore. The one thing I don’t like, is the sensitivity of the screen. Holding it one-handed, I use my thumb to scroll up and down. This will easily cause the screen to think you’re long-pressing, and highlight the text to allow you to copy/paste/google search, etc. It’s the single most annoying quirk I’ve discovered. I’ve tried adjusting the screen sensitivity level to no avail. My 3XL never did this, and the screen size is virtually identical to the 7 Pro. The only fix, is to adjust how I hold the phone so that my thumb is more perpendicular to the screen and not as much of my thumb is touching. This means that it’s not as secure in my palm so I have to take great care not to drop it.Overall, I like this phone. Samsung has a lot going for it, but I’m happy with my purchase. It’s also very easy to use and set up. While I’m certainly not a noob, I’m not as tech savvy as I could be. Yet, I had the phone up and running within an hour or so with all my configurations locked in, and adjusted. And no GPS issues either!

The camera is insanely good. The screen is top notch. The OS is nice and fluid, though a little light on features compared to Samsung phones.The only let down is the processor. It’s underpowered for hardcore gaming. Demanding games like Genshin Impact really struggle to run in the highest settings, and need to be bumped down for the phone to handle it.Overall, with the exception of hardcore gaming, this phone is close to perfect.

It seems like everyone gave this phone the “phone of the year” honor. I’m not sure why. I used it for a while and then went back to my S22 Ultra. Granted, each phone has it’s issues, but S22 Ultra is works better.Works better? Yes. The Pixel 7 Pro has too many bugs. The fingerprint reader, although they say it’s better, doesn’t work half the time. I can’t imagine how bad it was before. Want to use Chrome to surf the web? Sometimes it just refuses to load. You have to jump through hoops to get it working. Want to use face unlock for your banking apps, like on an iPhone – too bad. It doesn’t really work. Want to use that camera they brag about? It crashes more than a drunk, elderly, American driving in London.Want the latest updates on your unlocked, non-carrier locked phone? Too bad, there is a good chance that won’t happen, if you have certain carriers. I’m not kidding. Somehow your network restricts the updates you can get by MONTHS. My S22 Ultra is more up to date than my Pixel. That’s just wrong.If you ignore the bugs, the raw android is mostly okay. It is annoying that you can’t add more than 4 quick apps to your home page. I also wish you could organize your app tray, instead of having a big list. Those are minor things though. The thing that gets me the most is your short cuts. The big bubbles seem awkward at times and having to double swipe to get to the settings shortcut is annoying.The hardware seems fast enough, but it did take nearly two hours to install a security update. That seems excessive. At least everything was done in the background until the reboot prompted.This phone weighs less than the S22 Ultra. It’s noticeable. If you light a lighter weight phone, this is a better option.Now for the biggest plus for this phone – the price. I got this phone in brand new condition for under $600. That’s a lot less than the S22 Ultra. That brings the value you get to almost that of the S22 Ultra. It’s almost good enough to put up with the bugs.

It was easy for us 60 year olds to switch over to. Only thing we don’t like is the side swipe is so sensitive that you can hardly look at pictures without swiping right out of the ap. Good value, with prime day special. Be careful of Verizon ripping you off with add ones…

As much as I love the pure experience that you get from a Pixel device, the Pixel 6 Pro found itself in my sock drawer due to the really awful 5G reception I was getting on Verizon. Where my S22 Ultra would get 300 megabits down (sometimes more) in a C-Band area, the Pixel could barely squeeze out 100 megabits, with similar choking on the upstream.Well… I’m pleased to say that the updated modem in the Pixel 7 Pro is leaps and bounds better. So much so, that I don’t notice any reception differences between it and my S22 Ultra.As for the rest of the phone, well, if you’re coming from a Pixel 6 series, the differences are going to be much more incremental unless macro photography is your must-have (and to that end, it works beautifully, and is one area where the S22 Ultra and prior Pixels simply don’t compare).Build is very, very similar to the 6 Pro. If you hold them side by side, the biggest difference you’ll probably notice in the physical details is that the right buttons are shifted up a couple of millimeters. Juuuuust enough that you won’t be able to use your 6 Pro case, unless it has a cutout on the side for buttons. The camera visor seems a little more pronounced to me, and the selfie dot seems to blend a bit better, but that could just be the improved display on the 7 Pro. The overall feel is fairly premium, though I think the display has a kind of plastic feel to it. The S22 series feels much more solid and utilitarian, but I’d argue less expensive.Surprisingly, you can notice the improvement in processor speed in several apps, not to mention just scrolling through settings. Again, using my S22 Ultra as a comparison, I can’t say I’ve noticed a performance hit, even though the single core specs on the Snapdragon processor are better. Overall, I think it would be fair to say that the Pixel 7 Pro does all of the things the Pixel 6 Pro does, but faster and sometimes (like with Magic Eraser) better.At launch, there have been a lot of incentives on the Pixel 7 series that make upgrading less expensive — potentially free, and if that’s what you’re weighing a purchase against, I’d say “go for it”. But if you’re looking at a difference of hundreds of dollars to go from a 6 to a 7, I’m not sure I’d recommend that unless you were experiencing the same modem issues that so many other owners had.

What else is there to say? I suffered with an iPhone for a year. Nice to be back with an old friend!

I went from a Pixel 3 XL to the Pixel 7 Pro. Here is my review of the Pro:1. Adaptive brightness is very slow2. Phone sometimes lags3. Maybe a bit faster with some things but basically the same as my Pixel 3 XL4. Phone sometimes freezes and I have to restart, which had finally been fixed in Android 125. Updates take hours but you can be on the phone during them, a win in my view6. Battery life is better7. What they don’t tell you beforehand, is that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro only support 64-bit apps; so you might find yourself missing some apps and games and icon packs, etc.8. Transfer of apps and stuff went very well9. In some apps, texting has a weird lag; you have to wait for the letters you type to show up, it’s very aggravating10. The screenshot option works better; not the buttons, that option still sucks11. It charges okay: I went from 19% to 61% in 30 minutes; 85% in one hour12. The regular camera quality hasn’t changed, although Night Sight seems to work poorly, adding a yellow tinge and even splotches of yellow – so Night Sight is much worse than my Pixel 3, see the photos to compare (comparison is between 2 photos taken with the Pixel 7 Pro, one with Night Sight and one without)13. The zoom camera function is why I opted for the Pro, and it is a lovely thing to have – see the photos of a shot with the normal range, then a shot of the same scene at the maximum 5x range14. There’s an automatic macro setting which is nice, too. Just bring the camera close to the object and it automatically adjusts to the macro setting15. The size is almost identical to my Pixel 3 XL, just a tiny bit taller and a tiny bit heavierIn all, I like the phone very much. But if not for the zoom, I’d have been happy with the Pixel 7, I think. In fact, I was still happy with my Pixel 3 XL. If it wasn’t for Google stopping the security updates, I wouldn’t have upgraded; a big plus for the 7 Pro is Google’s promise to support security updates for 5 years. There is very little difference between the two phones, apart from the zoom/macro and how bad Night Sight is on the new camera.

It’s Google’s flagship phone, the newest, best, pro model. The camera is amazing, hands down incredible, like every pixel has been. The display is brilliant and the high-res mode option is gorgeous.BUT. Face unlock doesn’t have IR, so it is literally unusable in the dark. But that’s fine, because it has a fingerprint scanner, right?WRONG. It has a light under the display that claims it can’t read your fingerprint. Ever. Hope you enjoy entering your pin to unlock, because you’re going to end up using it 100% of the time – and always after a failed face unlock and then two failed finger unlocks. Even registering your fingerprint is an exercise in frustration – if you follow the onscreen directions (ie, “now use the tip, now use the side”), it will ALWAYS fail halfway through and make you start over. The only way to actually register a print is, get this: MOISTURIZE YOUR FINGER FIRST, and then just mash the same spot over and over – and repeat it four times for the same finger so you can MAYBE get 1/100 unlocks to ever register.In addition to that, the screen accuracy is just shy of being maddening. Even typing this review resulted in 40% misspelled words I had to correct; it’s almost like every screen tap randomly decides to trigger a few mm to either side of where you wanted it. It requires your full attention, and it completely messes with autocorrect too, because it has absolutely no idea what you were even close to typing.Really hoping this gets fixed with an update. For a phone with such stellar features and hardware, the interface feels like I bought a TracFone from 7-11.
