I am in The Same boat. Using 13pro and maybe found Finally my Android Phone to Switch?

@@Cuenowine1907 go for it. A few years ago I bought a OnePlus I immediately hated it and sent it back. This thing I can't put it down. Stock Android is the closest thing to iOS in terms of updates. But i'm finding it far superior.

How's the camera quality on tiktok? Since they finally partnered with tiktok

@@jiyon167 Yeah. And now with own chip and improvements, learnings since The 6. Here we go. Bye Apple??

@@Edjeason I don't use Tik Tok unfortunately. But I haven't seen any lowering in resolution uploading to my Social media.

I know lol

Same😁

Agreed 👍

Same here lol

😅super smart response.

wow dude same here, i got pixel 2xl now upgraded to pixel 7 lemon green. My pixel 2 xl still is a beast, no lag, when i upgraded to android 11, there was some app issues, but after a while it was fixed, still i use pixel 2xl, it's soo smooth with snapdragon 835 till date, only reason im upgrading to pixel 7 is due to lack of updates on pixel 2xl as back in the days we got only 3 years of security updates

Are you me? I'm coming from a 2XL as well and just swapped to a P7. That 2XL has been the absolute best phone I have ever had but after 5 years of service it is just now starting to show signs of wear (loose charger port, screen burn-in). That 2XL had zero bloatware and is still as fast as the day I started using it. I remember when the P6 came out I was SERIOUSLY considering swapping but the 2XL did EVERYTHING I needed it to do so I stuck it out 1 more year and boy I am glad I did! After using the 2XL for so long I had the habit of using the "back" button on the lower left of the screen. I just couldn't get used to the "gestures" on the P7 so here is how I got my 3-buttons back: Go to "Settings", "Accessibility", "System Controls", "System Navigation" then select "3-button navigation". Had to get used to the fingerprint scanner on the front instead of the back of the phone but I'll get used to it eventually.

@@shanec8380 i just did a factory reset on pixel 2 xl and jeez, its faster than before, lol, i should have used pixel 2 xl for another 2 years, haha. I mean pixel 7 and 2 both feel the same and offcourse 7 has new features etc

I just upgraded from a 5 and the 7's size is significantly bigger but definitely better.

7's a good choice. I have the seven pro and it's kind of fun to play with the macro and the telephone lens from time to time.

I’m looking into macro myself. From what I’ve been able to see so far though, the 7 doesn’t take macro but the 7 pro does.

This is actually a handy advice. I've wanted to upgrade my legacy smartphone to a flagman-like model and now considering to buy 7/7pro pixel. I'm planning on taking pictures with it and I was doubting whether pro version brings a huge difference for me with zoom camera and macro mode. Your comment helped me with that decision. Thanks!

What @Ghost in the wires said. Thanks mate! 👍

Same here, from Pixel 3, 5 and now 7Pro and I can see difference with the 📷 indeed, the 5 was a good one, but this one is just sublime!

@@monicamv4528 I have the 3A and currently using the 5A 5G. On the Pixel 7Pro does the camera have a 'Pro mode' that allows a person to use manual focus, or set the shutter, or ISO? Best Duane

Hey I have a question for you. I'm considering getting the pixel 7 but I'm worried about bugs, and I've read online there is issue with the camera's glass breaking spontaneously. Have experienced persistent bugs or performance issues? what do you think about the issue of camera's glass? Thanks in advance

4. it has 120hz

I bought one last week, made all the updates and immediately found it overheating and freezing after video chatting for just 10 minutes. Could be a buggy batch of hardware if this supposed update is a fix imho.

This is what I'm feeling 😅 But what's really stopping me is that 6.7" display, it's so huge.

@@triciarose389 I came from an iPhone 12 Pro Max so I'm used to it by now but I can see how it would be intimidating. I think I could get used to the smaller screen but again, I'm in love with that hazel color and the 120hz display especially

@@danyalhussain8283 I got it as MSRP unfortunately as it was before any sales, but I traded in my old XR for about $400 credit, so really only came out paying about $400 myself. Adjusting wasn't as hard as I initially thought it'd be, but the biggest hurdle is not having certain stuff immediately available (Apple Card stuff and anything in iCloud including my photos). I'm overall INCREDIBLY happy. I wont definitively say I'm done with iPhones, but I might keep android for a while. The BIGGEST downside for me is the camera. The 7 pro's camera is good, but if you zoom in Snapchat or even in the camera app, it's not near as smooth as iPhone. In fact, I avoid zooming all together on snapchat for that reason because it jumps from like 1x to 5x and it's super choppy. I wanted to say it was Snapchat's optimization, but because it's sorta there in the camera app too I'm not so sure.

@@gcoffline how is it going? is it worth to get it?

@@themin4ugas Sorry, just now seeing this. Absolutely! I'm in love with the phone. My only complaints is that the face unlock is nowhere near as good as iPhone, and the zoom can be a bit buggy, specifically in snapchat

No over heating on the 7 pro with the 1440p resolution on.

I skimmed through the review , does the pixel 7 have 120hz? Thanks

@@seinfeld8812 the pixel 7 has a 90 hz while the pro has 120 hz. It's also a 1080p screen vs 1440p. 1440p is double the pixel count of 1080p, which is why it doesn't always mean better battery life.

Excellent comment, thanks. It reflects my own common sense grasp that a smaller phone is ok with a smaller battery and can't be compared in that way with the larger phone.

@@seinfeld8812 only 90 hz.

You can turn down all of those for more battery life.

Yeah this alone keeps me from buying it atm, I really want the 7 pro features in the regular 7 body. Might just wait and hope they realize this is a deal breaker for a lot of people until the 8 next year.

Nothing more to add! I would have bought the pro, but it is far to big for me. Even the Pixel 7 is almost too big.

Same here. I don't mind refresh rate etc but I would happily upgraded from my Pixel 6 if I could get macro and optical zoom in a reasonable form factor:/

@@matthias1619 That's absolutely true! But the Pixel 7 is pretty good phone. I really like it.

@@Fasciana1 sure, but the 7 (non XL) hasn't enough new features justifying a upgrade - for me. But of course everyone values features different :) The 7 XL which has Tele+macro is simply out of question by its size, even the 7 and 6 is too big for my taste, but unfortunately the consumer-consens seems to be: the bigger the better :D

Great information, thanks for sharing... I also just have one thing to say, the word is "correction" not 🚫"coorecion". Thanks for correcting him 😀

would like other opinions video too that compares both of them to see if i made the right purchase choice

But the Pixel 7 Pro has one more thing - Autofocus on ultrawide camera that allows Macro shots - this was not covered in video.

@@mannsinghs those extra features are great if you’re 100% gonna use it. Other than that. The cameras are the same on both phones minus those extra features. Definitely gonna get excellent photos on either one.

The 6a is a good mini option, it's quite narrow. The 7 is only slightly larger..

Thanks so much! :)

What have you done, you could have bought pixel 7 for like 500 USD. But you had to chose the monthly payments which no doubt will cost you more than 450. Not to mention the possibility of breaking your phone in 3 years. Just when you finish paying you’ll switch to another phone

how does monthly payment cost you more? you pay monthly, no extra fees besides the 60 dollar activation fee which most of the time they waive, and if you're thinking about the data plans then you have to pay it either way. also even if you break it, it still saves money even if you have to keep paying it. Not to mention he said 7 pro for 450, which overall is better than 500 for a 7@@everythingsfinett3903

I have a 7 I'm testing to decide whether I want the 7 pro or the 7. As far as screen movement, it just takes a small finger movement to move the 7 screen right to left. I don't even touch the edge of the phone. There is also a one hand setting I haven't used that should make it even easier. The overall gestures used on the phone do not compare to the Moto gestures, That is something I really miss. The other thing that I really, really don't like is the position of the search bar icon frozen at the bottom of the screen. I prefer it at the top but it doesn't fit the Google business plan. Also, I prefer either a black or white color for that search bar and I don't like the colors available for each. There are other options available but I don't like those either. They have also frozen the weather and date/time button on the top left of the screen which to me is a disaster. It makes the whole top unavailable to other applications except a video play area on the right. I have a transparent weather app I would like to use but cant. The one other feature I dislike is the night lite. I use the night lite to curb the brightness of the white colors. On the 7 I have you simply can't get a proper adjustment; it is too yellow. One other feature that is helpful is the ability to adjust the size of the icons. I use a display setting that uses five icons across. By slightly resizing the icons it also reduces the size of the search bar and that gives the whole screen a better look. There are also some features not mentioned here that may have originally been developed by Moto. One is a quick menu app that makes it easier to handle things like turning the unit off and on, adjusting screen brightness and sound, etc. That would be the first item I would turn on. I don't particularly like to press any mechanical buttons if I don't have to. It makes the phone much easier to use.

I've been using the regular Pixel 7 for a few days now and it is honestly super good. I recommend it over the 7 pro. I didn't find any bugs yet

@@MarksTech the only things I’ve seen are the overheating and screen freezing. But another huge concern I had after the 6a is call quality. On the 6a there was so much static it was practically unusable.

@@crazyfun5150 I’ve done about 8 to 10 hours of calling, both phones are great!:) I did experience overheating, though, but that was only on the pro

@@MarksTech thanks for letting me know. With the great trade in values I’m leaning towards getting a pixel 7.

@@MarksTech Yeah, I immediately fell in love with the pro but when it started overheating (really hot!) after 10 min+ long video chatting, I returned it and resigned myself to waiting a couple of years until they can overcome that problem. But after watching this video and your reply here, I'm going to go for the 7! Best 7 vs 7 Pro vid! Thanks!

As a oneplus 7 pro owner this really helped

Loved my one plus 7 pro, except all the cameras randomly stopped working in less than a year and forced me to replace it. Common issue. Its what stopped me getting future one pluses.

Hi, how is the battery life so far?
