I didn't even watch the new Google event with the release of the 8. Just historically, I knew that the specs weren't going to be anything to "wow" about from a generational point of view. I have the Pixel 7 Pro, and I am really just fine with it and it's doing everything I need it to do. Upon checking the specs of the 8 Pro and looking at some of the new camera and photo editing features, I just maturely asked myself "do I really need that / will it change my life?" and the answer was "no". This is the first time in 6 years that I am not excited to upgrade my phone "just to see what the new one will be like" and I am actually okay with that.
Yeah, I would agree with most of the problems. But the things I personally hate the most is the overheating, battery charging speed, and problems with other power bricks and battery life
I switched from iphone and I still love iphone but man, pixel is altogether a really awesome change❤ it's awesome, I love every aspect of my pixel I get full day battery with SOT of 6-7 hrs the only issue is fingerprint sensor, it's a hit and miss sometimes, I miss apple face ID sometimes, rest everything awesome and I love pixel 🥰🥰
I own the Pixel 7 and turned off the 90Hz and always-on-display, which are both unnecessary features imo and now I have a 2 day phone with 5 hours of sot.
Great video...I am a hardcore pixel fan boy. Started with the 3 series...never looked back. Just clean, clean simple android as it should be. Had my first iPhone(15pro) changed back to pixel 7 after 5 weeks. They may not be the biggest, the baddest, and the best built phones out there,; but Pixel phones have what no other phone company has... They have soul!! Keep on rocking Google. You make the smart phone world a better place 😊
I bought my Pixel 7 less than a month ago. I know Pixel 8 is out, but it was a bit too rich for my blood. Going from a mid-range Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro (that's a mouthfull of a name) to this was awesome. No bloatware, the camera is quite good and i think overall is a nice phone. On Android 14 is quite snappy, AI features like speech-to-text in the ChatGPT app function quite well. It is quite a nice piece of equipement.
@@cormacbcb I am tempted to say Xiaomi did a good job on the battery. I'll give them that. It served me well for 2 years. But there was a bug tgat kept freezing the phone at random times (sometimes once a day, other times it workes weeks without issues) and then, it died suddenly because of water vapors (i suspect). But overall, if you value your battery life and your phone works fine, i'd say there is no reason to upgrade just yet. I'm also waiting to see what people say about Pixel 8 after one year.
@@karlopasaoa7409 For now, it works nicely. I even got the "circle to search" update. But i'll agree on the battery life. I don't think it measures up to the Xiaomi i had. It has better camera, more processing power and overall a good response time in all the apps, but i think the battery life is kinda weak compared to other (cheaper) phones. I'm not yet at the one year mark, so, i can't say more about how fast the battery degrades over time.
2:30 could you give exact numbers like 4 or 5 hours of screen on time and show the chart that's on your phone . And state what apps you were using . That way it can be more precise .
I’m about to buy a 7 pro, second hand, for 500€, the phone is only 2 months old so battery should be fine. My main goal is to have decent phone camera, it’s a good deal right?
I hate the software. It tries jamming features down my throat and I either have to figure out how to turn them off or waste my time skipping through a tutorial I didn't ask for.
I need a new phone, I know pixel 8 is really close to being released but I don't have that kind of money to get the latest model, Should I just get this? I'm moving to a big city for college. Want to be as conservative with money as possible.
It is normal for first bootup because a lot of process are running in the background for the first time. Mine was also warm on its first charge but the next day it was fine
@artus198 not really, S23 ultra doesn't heat up.. it has a vapour chamber to dissipate heat.. they perform the same tasks on the ultra and Iphone 15 Pro max and the S23 ultra remained cool..
I am planning to buy p7 for next 4 years of use will it last i am a average user but taks too much photos and Vedios so i had the budget to buy p7 so ?? Will it last dor next 4 years
it will last. I had a pixel 2xl and used it 4 years, now my mom is using it )). for a photo video lover like you, the storage option should be a concern only :)
I just got a pixel 7a and 5 days in and it's absolutely junk. All the great features and if you want to use them then it's going to overheat and kill the battery all the time. I really can't stand having to download a different launcher to get different shaped icons, limited theme options and colors. Three button navigation is wonky only the middle button works back button and stop button not working properly. And it's mostly because the lousy hardware can't handle the software. either way I'm lucky I'm returning it for something else.
The camera is one of the least favorite features for me. It is unacceptable that I would get better closeup photos without massive distortion around the edges or simply being out of focus on devices from 7 years ago with a single camera. Not acceptable.
Several people reported that they got headaches from Pixel phones. I started to wake up for a bad headache after my boyfriend bought a Pixel phone. We could not figure sometimes what caused it but after searching if this phone can be a problem, I could see many complaints for this. And guys this is not the screen issue as I am not using his phone just being around it… This phone is not safe and now we just want to get rid off it. Save your health and stay away from Pixel phones!
