I really like your reviews. But this one felt a bit of a comparison between Pixel 7 and the 7 pro more than a Pixel 7 review.

Have to say I think the Pixel 7 is an upgrade in every area over the Pixel 6. As someone who owned both, the fingerprint sensor is better, screen has higher peak brightness, ai processing is faster across the board. Little to no bugs on Pixel 7. Taking pictures is faster, video recording is better on both front and back cameras. Battery life is better too from my experience I'm a moderate to heavy user and it gets me through the day just fine. Design is the only area where I think people would argue its not an upgrade. I prefer the design of the Pixel 7 feels and looks more premium. As far as haptics the same if not better than the Pixel 6. Overall would recommend the Pixel 7 to anyone looking to buy.

I just got the 7 recently and it has been a real treat so far. I've absolutely loved the phone and especially the pixel exclusive features that has been packed into it. This video, as lovely as it is, in my personal opinion wouldn't really give you the reviews you need as Sam has only been focusing on comparing the 7 to the 7 Pro rather than actually telling us about the 7 in itself.

Been using my 7 for a month now and the experience amazing. Battery is excellent even doing some video calls and video consumption, 6h30mins SOT with 15% remaining. No issues encountered for now

Should this video be titled - Pixel 7 v/s Pixel 7 Pro?

I think the 7 was decent upgrade over the 6 but from a purely design perspective both were actually a step backward from pixel 5 imo. The pixel 5 was literally the perfect size smartphone for any person with normal size hands who doesn't want to carry a huge slab around. The ergonomics were amazing and so easy to use 1 handed. It also had perfectly rounded corners and symmetrical bezels all the way round and the battery life was great. While I like the 7 rear camera bar, the front with the asymmetrical bezels and generic Sony like overly accutely rounded corners does not look good imo. I would have kept the sizing and bezel style of the pixel 5, gone with an in button finger print sensor and put a proper ultrawide on it.

thank you! this 1-2 month later reviews are the most informed!

This video was completely about 7 vs 7 pro

I'm still trying to find scenarios to use a macro lens lol. Reviewers act like features they like are useful. But many ppl don't even care.

Technically can't buy any pixel phone in my country but really wanted to switch back to android if it's a pixel though.

your video is getting more aesthetically pleasing I love it

Absolutely love my pixel 7 pro 🔥. Cheers from one Aussie to another. 🍻😎

I wasn't expecting a comparison review based on the title but this was a good one. The Pro is too big and that's the end of the discussion for me but Google have priced them both well IMO as it will give some people a tough choice.

Just switched from a Samsung s20+ to the pixel 7 pro and I am extremely impressed. It's everything I could want in a phone and more

This is a great video, Sam. Thank you. I've been weighing in Google Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7 and Pixel 6a. You've provided me with some insights into making an informed decision. I have now subscribed to your channel. Your fan and subscriber from Sydney, Australia

Upgrading to this from a Pixel 3A, very much keen and love your content 🤙

I've got both the 7 and 7 Pro. The 7 gives me about 13 hours battery time. That's great 👍 I love the size of the 7 and not really missing anything from the 7 Pro. Maybe the macro but I haven't needed to use it

It bings me SO much joy that i can watch your content on my Ultrawide in true fullscreen :)

this is the best video to watch for any smart phone the way u show the phone its magical love your video

Getting my pixel 7 next week, very excited!

Thanks for the review!

Nice review, I've got the Pixel 7 and it is so beautiful love the phone's design! I like the phone's interface and the google cam which gives really great pictures. The back will get so many scratches so I'll get a skin from Gadgetshieldz that will protect the back and a screen protector for the display for scratches resistance!

Third party launchers are so much slower than the stock pixel launcher. Maybe that's why you feel the phone is so slow. I installed microsoft launcher on my pixel 7 and i immediately noticed that it looks like the display is 60hz even tho i turned on smooth display. It's so much slower so i reverted back to using the stock launcher

Its like watching a Film , Good Job man!

Nice review man, I really appreciate the effort you put into the visual and sound pleasantness of your videos 👍

Awaited for this video❤️

Man. I love your videos. Please keep doind this. 🙃👍 Also I have the Pixel 7 from its released. I love it. The battery life is shorter after 2 update but the phone is still amazing I move from Pixel 5. The Pixel 7 just remind me for the Nokia Lumia 925. ☺️

The only thing I noticed was a few tiny scratches on the screen, which was odd since I never dropped it or even put it screen faced down. I returned it and waiting for a new one. Other than that I'm very very happy with it, it's a smart smartphone so to speak and you have to be a bit nerdy to really enjoy it.

Outstanding background musical theme (jazz) complements your video ❤️

Watching this made me glad I went for the 7 Pro!

Honestly this year the 7 and the Pro are both EXCELLENT for their price. Got the normal version but very happy already.

Sam, your videos are a joy to consume. So well made, relaxing, informing, and just pure eye candy. Thank you for the work you do!

Sam do you notice a white boarder around the text on the pixel 7? Most noticeable when reading black on white, there’s a halo around the text (I don’t have the contrast boosted). It’s mega irritating.

your production quality is awesome

Cool in-depth review Sam...You hearing any new thoughts on the 7a 🙂

At the very first 10 sec of vid you got new sub! Great video btw, but can u tell me all gears you use for your video production because damnn your video prod is one of the best!

I've been an Apple user since the 4S but I think the Pixel 7 is going to be my new phone. I juist can't justify Apple's prices any more. Sam, would love to see a video on how you setup your Android phones. Your setups always look amazing!

The intro was amazing🔥

Hope I've make a great choice buying the Pixel 7 (It arrives this week), I was thinking to get an iPhone since I'm tired of Android due to the social media apps and its bugs, but decided to give the last chance and now I'm switching from my Note 10+ to the Pixel 7 (also I was tired of big phones and curved displays)

I came from the iphone 13 pro max to the regular Pixel 7. After much hesitation in the beginning, I can say that I love the Pixel 7. For a regular non pro model, I feel it performs just as good or better than the iphone 13 pro max in a lot of areas. Now yes I do miss a couple small features from an iphone but they're nothing deal breaking and the Pixel 7 makes up for it by having other better features.

Personally, I feel the Pro is too big. It wasn't that long ago that we were trying to have smaller phones and now the flagship models are two handed devices that don't fit in your pocket. The P6 is stretching it for me (went from P2 to the P6), so the slightly smaller size is a plus for me.

Pixel 7 pro is on sale for £799 on Amazon in the UK atm very tempting

how do you get these micro small icons on home screen ?

Is the camera on the regular 7 better than the 6 pro? I really want to make the right choice for my New phone and cant decide between those two.

2:19 If you watch PBKreview teardown videos (pixel 7 pro video at 1min 25, pixel 7 video at 1 min 49), the haptic engine look exactly the same in both phones.

The title should've been PIXEL 7 vs PIXEL 7 PRO. I recently upgraded to Pixel 7 and I feel like you were nit picking throughout. Because I'm not coming from 7pro to 7. I'm upgrading from a 4 year old device and 7 is just amazing.

Can you share link how you customize this setup on you pixel? Thank you.

I'm just not loving the design, I don't like all the shine and sparkles . I took a look at one in store and decided against trading my pixel 6 in . I was disappointed with the pixels manual standard brightness too ( not HDR or auto peak brightness, but it's normal brightness) didn't seem as bright as the pixel 6a parked next to it . Personally speaking, I prefer the design and display on my pixel 6 and I agree with you re your comment on the displays.

Killing it Sam! Keep it up bro!

3:16 What you are using for double tap to lock the phone?

Did the October update ruin the haptics on the Pixel 7 like it did for the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6A??

I'm looking at a 600$ 256 gb pixel 7 for my sister should I get it or is there anything better around 500-600$

Title: Pixel 7 IN-DEPTH Review TWo Months Later Real title: Pixel 7 IN-DEPTH comparison with the Pixel 7 Pro & last year's Pixel phones TWo Months Later

Went with the Pixel 7 and it's the best phone I've owned. Love the look of it in Lemongrass but it's too slippery so a case must be used.

Very good review. Loved the intro

I think it would be nice for the fingerprint scanner to be on the power button, like in Zenfone 9. Apart from that, this is the phone of the year

The only annoying thing about my pixel 7 pro is that when I am on call or taking through discord while connected to Bluetooth headphones the game sound is muted and i can't hear any game sound..

Why compare it with pixel 7 pro only?

Whta icon pack is this? I mean those white icons because there are others for what I can see ;)

I wish the bezels are symmetrical. Would be the best mid-range pixel phone to date.

Hi Sam How can I disable the quick settings panel on the lock screen? ( on Google Pixel phones) . I have changed the settings on the power button to turn on Google Assistant so nobody can press it and turn off the phone . But anyone can easily just drag down the quick settings from the lockscreen and power off .

I bought a Pixel 7 and returned it. The display wasn't smooth, battery life was bad, fingerprint sensor was a problem, constantly and it was very buggy. Then I bought another Pixel 7 in white. It has none of those problems. It's a completely different phone. I get great battery and the screen and opening work consistently. It's hard to read a review without wondering which of these phones are being reviewed. But your review makes that mostly clear by comparing the two Pixels.

Telstra has special for $749Au. Worth getting?

As expected Sam, you are the best when it comes to Pixel reviews..😌😌

I'm currently using a iPhone 12 and just want a change of ecosystem. Because of a big sale on here with my carrier until Dec 31 I could play it safe and go with the iPhone 14 but like I said .. kinda tired of them. Looking at either the Galaxy S22 or Pixle 7. However I've heard of the following issues with the Pixle 7 and just wondering if they are valid concerns? 1. Green and red rainbow effect on white screens? 2. Bugginess? (freezing, hang ups etc) 3. Finger sensor issues? I also love Carplay so any issues with this phone and Android Auto? The other thing I'm hoping to find in an Android phone if I can is a cool feature all my iPhones have had and that "repeat alerts" for my messages. Iphone users know what I'm talking about ... you can set your phone to AUDIBLY alert you to a text message for up to ten times ... at 2 minute intervals. So after a message comes in ... it'll alert you immediately (like any other phone) but then every two minutes it sound another audible alert ... and it'll do this for up to ten times (depending on how you set it) So basically you can have an audible alert periodically happening for twenty minutes after the message first came in. I love that feature because my phone is not always on my person ... so this makes sure I don't miss a message if I'm in the vicinity but not with my phone. Thanks in advance for any responses to my questions/concerns ... it'll help me greatly to make this decision! 🙏🏿

answer me honestly, would you pay 200 dolars for another camera and some better haptics?

Mr beckman can you please have a video on how to turn off shortcut notifications on IPad I tried following the one you already did but had no success after switching the notifications off and all the other stuff

I love my 7. I had the 6 and kind of didn't care much for it. the new size, weight and FPS alone makes it worthy upgrade. throw in the low price and it's a steal. yes, of course the pro model is better. you have to give people reasons to spend $300 more when the 7 is so damn good.

I am trying to decide between the Pixel 7 or iPhone 14 Pro (can get them both for around the same price)

Upgraded from 4a5g to 7. I like my 7... but god DAYUM the under-screen fingerprint scanner and face recognition unlock sucks arse. I missed the finger scanner behind the phone. It was way more accurate. I even followed the About >> Feedback to let Google know how much they suck. I hate this under-display scanner trend with phones.

I will really consider the pixel 7a whenever it comes

I could also carry a in my pocket and get better picture. I'll stick with a smaller phone so I don't have to lug around a huge brick for only a feature I'll be using once a week.

What has your screen on time been like? Not using WiFi.

Nice intro Sam!

Me turning haptic feedback off straight after unboxing the phone, tbh every phone I've had I prefer haptic feedback turned off.

Nice video. But is this pixel 7 review video or pixel 7 vs 7pro video

Bit of topic but I'm looking for a bit of a smaller phone around 6 to 6.3 not to expensive but with overall good usability, I make the occasion picture amd play some Casual games. Any recommendations?

Why does nobody tests the fingerprint sensor without the face unlocking on? I'm having so many problems with the fingerprint scanner at night or whenever I use a mask. It works for some hours after I set the fingerprint but after it starts failing. I'm considering returning the phone.

How do you double tap to sleep at 3:20 ? I couldn't find such gesture setting

You should rather change the title of the video to Pixel 7 vs Pixel 7 pro. More than review, the video appeared to be nagging over pixel 7. The price difference between both of them is for a reason, so differences are expected. Hope you get the point.

love ya videos, good .😁

really disappointed in size and weight for their "small" phone. came from pix 5, but size really didn't register until i saw it was nearly same size as gf's note 10 plus. definitely regret "upgrading", but didn't wanna get stuck with obselete phone and miss really good deal during black friday. nice phone, just too damn big and heavy.

very good review !

Amazing Review 🔥

How are you double tapping to turn off the display?

best review on youtube, thanks

Just went to check both 7 and 7pro and came back with my 4a 5g, to be honest there's not much of a difference in fact I like the flat and wider screen on my 4a 5g and of course it is much much lighter, cameras in that shop setting weren't too far apart either, in someone photos I preferred 4a5g. They were keeping mine for 30k in local currency and offering the 7 in 125k and 7 pro in 180k, I said no thank you and left

As someone coming from iPhone, I absolutely love my pixel 7. Two months in, no regrets.

I was thinking of buying the base S22 over this phone because it looks better and smaller and is overall better for my type of usage

The intro is 🔥

In depth review of pixel 7 or comparisons to pixel 7 pro ? 😀

At this point the thing pulling me away from the pixel 6 and up is that freaking design. Wasn't it obvious already that with the camera bump at the back, dust will build up and oooo that grinds my gears when they could have just... Not made that bump

Should I get Pixel 7 or S22+ ?

Wish they wouldn't lock various features to the 7 series claiming that it's all "thanks to tensor 2" when the 6 and 7 series are so incredibly similar, I know they want to sell them but it's a shame

Why u don't compare 6 vs 7 in terms of fluidity? What if the 7 pro feels just more faster not that 7 is feeling slower :P :D

That was a great intro

Nice review. Overall I like the Pixel 7 after 5 weeks of use. The UI and UE thanks to a clean version of A13 is excellent and overall performance is plenty good for my needs. However I've had a couple hardware related issues that haven't been great. First, yes that pesky onscreen FP sensor. My experience hasn't been great despite re-registering finger prints several times. It's just too finicky to be reliable so I often use pin code and I also enabled face unlock. Coming from a 4a5G with a highly reliable and imo more accessible rear physical FP sensor the P7 has been a let down in this area. And then there's battery performance and reliability. I had the P7 plenty long enough for it to adapt to my usage patterns but the battery performance was still weak compared to my 4a5G. I ran the battery performance diagnostic tool in Pixel tips and it indicated a battery issue and identified an authorized Google repair site fairly close by. Took it there and techie said only option is battery replacement but they need to order it. No biggie my P7 is still usable for ten days until battery arrives but this is my second hardware glitch with a Pixel phone. My otherwise good 3A had the dreaded boot loop anomaly and required a replacement. Hardware issues happen to all vendors but going 2 for 3 with Pixel hardware problems does make me wonder about Google hardware reliability. But again I have enjoyed the UE and UI.

Video quality Top notch! good job!

Just got Mrs pixel 6a to replace pixel 4 and she is not happy with it, camera in indoor low light is not as good as pixel 4. It's not sharp and it's blurry. Might keep 6a for myself, just wondering what camera is like on pixel 7 phones in indoor low light?

Man I wish I saw this video before ordering the 7. The multiple camera lense distances are really useful. Still hasn't arrived. I would have really valued the added camera modes. EDIT: canceled the Pixel 7 and ordered the 7 Pro!
