Honestly, I want the Pixel 8 or Pro. But can live with my Pixel 7 Pro for many more years just fine.. Perhaps I'll upgrade to the 9 or 10. This phone is really that good; and taking photos with it is addictive.
ive had the 14 pro max for a while now but im definitely not get the 15 pro. Im honestly considering going back to the Pixel 7 or buying an 8 pro at some point next year. out of all of the Android phones available, I love the Pixel the most. I had the Pixel 7 Pro which was good but there was some stuff that annoyed me about it that I can easily get over now. all of the other features that is has are definitely worth it.
@@mikeg3644 Google is doing a good job of getting us over those gripes we had with the previous models. I was considering getting a 13 Pro, because I like to switch back and forth for fun. But the Pixel 7 Pro has been so good that is the Pixel 8 doesn't heat up as much, I might not go back to iPhone at all. And get the standard pixel 8.
There is no doubt this has some of the most helpful day to day features of any phone. Coming from a 12 Pro Max I missed Googles software. The camera system is amazing for pictures and videos!
I traded in an Iphone 13 at Best Buy for a pixel 7 Pro. They gave me $520 credit, I couldn't pass and got the 256 gb model. I'm set until Pixel 9 or Samsung Flip 6.
Mine turns up this week. I wanted to hang off for the 8 Pro ideally, but it's gonna be months before the prices drop and the whole point of this contract renewal for me was to reduce my outgoings from the iPhone 13 Pro Max I have currently. Here's hoping the 9 is elite!
I love Pixels but I really hope the G3 Tensor chip does a better job of optimization on battery life and standby time. That is usually the weakness of Pixel devices. I'm supposed to get my regular Pixel 7 tomorrow.
Got 7 Pro on launch, great phone but boy the battery is kinda disappointing. You can easily get a day of use but say you're out of the house all day and you're taking pictures, phonecalls, youtube vids, social media, forget about it. Phone will be dead by 8/9pm. Also something that doesn't get said often enough is that the Wi-fi is fine but the mobile data connection is scarily bad. If your service drops, you sometimes have to manually get it to reconnect which is shocking. Put it on airplane mode and back to normal to get it to connect service. Not good. Other than that literally excels in every metric but when using it you find that its deficiencies are really surprising and really a crutch
Would love to get a Pixel. Coming from an iPhone 11 that starts to show its age. Everything about the 7 Pro that I care about is awesome. But its battery (according to online comparisons) holds up shorter than my iPhone, even with nearly 2,000 mAh more capacity - more if you consider my phone's age. I would get a regular 7 but that's got even less endurance. why does Google do this? I don't need incredible AI photo processing or high-end speech recognition if that means I have to think about my battery every single time I want to spend time on my phone. Now I'm considering a Samsung S23+ that's got tons of bloat and a significantly higher price tag or another iPhone that suffers from Apple's ultra profit-oriented decisions resulting in spec cuts on the regular models (60Hz, older Chip) and insane pricing on the Pros.
I found a contract deal that was cheaper than buying outright. P7P will have cost me about £400 after selling my old phone and taking out the airtime cost.
Got a pre-owned one for 630$ a couple of months back.. Had really bad network reception issues, sent it to the service centre once... They 'repaired' it but same issues... Again back to the service centre, got a replacement... Realised the issue is in a setting... It has 2G on by default and that keeps interfering with the network... So switched that toggle off... Network looks good for now... Lets see 🤞 Coz overall I love this phone and for the deal I got it, I want to use it for at least a couple of yrs... Its a beautiful phone...
The 8 series has been leaked to have 5 years of OS support so that's a major win for an Android phone. Though I did just pick up a Pixel 7 Pro 256gb with just some slight screen burn in for $325 with the original intention of trading it in for an 8 Pro but I might just end up holding onto it until Google switches to TSMC and using their own 100% Google designs (Pixel 10 series).
The Pixel 8 will have its own set of problems. It won't be an exception. I bought a brand new Pixel 7 Pro two weeks ago. I'm very happy with the phone.
Pixels always start out with a lot of bugs, so I usually give them about 4-5 months to release updates.. So personally I would still purchase it , that are usually lowered in price around this time anyway.
That's what I do half the time. If I don't get a new phone on day one release I wait till about month five and then get it. The updates make it run flawlessly for a first time experience.
If you can get the pixel from a TRUSTED third party for cheap, then yeah. But don't buy it full price. Wait for the pixel 8 and see what it has to offer. The pixel 7 lineup still is buggy with lots of issue I am dealing with it. Connectivity issues, battery life, app bugginess, overheating, battery drain, and slow charging are examples that are issues with this phone.
I got a replacement from my insurance when I cracked my screen that phone worked perfectly but the replacement has the black screen of death and when I touch the screen sometimes nothing happens I was hopping this would be fixed with software updates but it hasn't been
Xiaomi 11T Pro after 2 year battery is still perfect, fast charge 120w, full battery for 17 min.. when you buy phone they give you super fast 120w charger 🙂
The Pixel 8 will have its own set of problems. It won't be an exception. If you need to upgrade your phone now, buy the Pixel 7 Pro. If you can wait, wait as long as you can. Maybe Pixel 10 Pro.
If you're more of a huge power user and a gamer that needs best in class battery life, you should go with the OnePlus 11 but you would get an okay camera. Not the top tier one on the pixel 7 pro. If you prefer software and usability and an all-round phone then go with the Google pixel 7 pro
Go for S23 Ultra if you want 1. Customizatiom 2. Premium UI icons 3. Ecosystem options Choose Pixel 7 Pro if you want 1. Fluidity 2. Cameras 3. Camera bump Samsung has better battery life though
Depends on what YOU call normal use. IF you do a lot of gaming it will get warm. However, say at disney using their APP - it was okay all day. The tensor chip is a minus for gaming - it just does not compete with the 8Gen2 for full on High Res Graphics gaming. But if you use this as a phone and a computer - you really do not need anything faster.
I'm tired of heating with my pixel 7. It's even heating on idle and battery life is trash 9-10% idle drain on night. Not buying pixel with Samsung chip this might be my last pixel.
This phone is phenomenal? WTF? I had one for about a month. My experiences: it heated up like hell for no reason, just because I used navigation on it (then turned off and couldn't be turned on for half an hour). Despite being a Google phone, the software glitches more than on anything else, for example I turned my phone to its side to watch RU-vid on fullscreen, and the UI fell apart. Although being slightly smaller than an S23 Ultra, it's harder to hold, it has such a weird shape I wasn't able to hold it comfortable in one hand. Although being water resistant, when I took it in a pool, it got water inside the camera lenses. The only postitive thing was the camera quality, it's really good, the photos come out of it are really phenomenal, even the zoom camera does an awesome job. And that's it. Everything else about this phone is shit. This was my first and probably last Pixel phone (I've had a few Nexus phones back then and I loved them).
Damn bro that sucks too bad my experience is the exact opposite. My 7 only really heat up when using the cam for a long time (videos especially) and it doesnt even heat up that much with games.
@@LatencyProblem Thanks for the reply. I see this phone is different for everyone. It seems like the units aren't so consistent, some are better, some are worse.
