The Pixel 7 Pro is my first Pixel, and I really love it too! It's the smoothest Android experience I had since my OnePlus 7 Pro, and the camera is fantastic! The only improvement point I can think of is battery life.

A week ago I bought a Pixel 6a as my first pixel. This finally made my start to fully appreciate how good Pixels are. Can't wait to see your deep review of the Pixel 7 Pro

I love how much more subtle your review are than bigger tech reviewers, it is refreshing.

Hi Sam, thanks for the review, and it does a good job of highlighting the hardware (screen, camera, battery life) of the phone, but like most other Pixel 7 reviewer out there, you leave off a lot of the software and service integration that really defines the 'Pixel' experience. Features like Direct My Call, Call Screening, Live Transcription, Now Playing, Personal Safety, Google Assistant, Google, Lens, Google Translate, Night Shot (which is as much software as it is hardware on Pixel Phones) really make the Pixel 7 series feel very seamless and full-featured to use. Now many of these features are also available on competing Android phones, but they are not as well integrated, and without the TPUs on the Tensor 2 SoC, ay not be as fast or as accurate, so it would have been really interesting to see what Google does better than its competitors and which features are exclusive to the Pixel (off the top of my head, Now Playing, Photo Unblur, Direct My Call, Call Screening). It's also worth noting some of the limitations of Google's implementations, your installing Nova is pretty telling that the Pixel Launcher has fairly limited customization (which is something I personally don't mind, as I rarely customize my phone much beyond OEM presets), but this is something many users might want to know about (especially the new Gestures, which is very polarizing, it seems). Phones aren't just hardware these days, the software and combined user experience define how fully featured they are, and I think phone reviews should address the strengths and differences between phones in this area as well, especially since reviewers have access to many different phones and are able to compare many more vendors than typical end users will.

WHY is your cinematography so good!! The footages are so satisfying, and looks like a lot of work went into editing and music. Damn good review vid.

so close to 400k congratulations in advanced!!!

I just upgraded from a Pixel 3XL to the 7 Pro. My daughter tried to talk me out of the pro, saying I don't need the extra features, but man, the dictation is phenomenal (I'm a language teacher) and the photos, still exploring, but wow. Next up is video. Thanks for your review.

One truth to be told, I take screenshots of most of the top down shots from your videos. I find it so beautiful that it worths keeping those as pictures. 😍

I still love my 6 Pro, the two tone look of the device was so good. The haptic engine they used is top notch, everything with the device just feels crisp. It's my all time favorite phone to send text messages on. Fortunately in my area I never find the modem lacking compared with other devices I've used.

Quality of your videos keep exceding expectations. Always upping the bar 👏 Keep going

your reviews are really cinematic, very nice. also, the technical details are very good! liked and subscribed :)

You deserve many, many times more subscribers. Absolutely quality reviews and you come across as very personable! Well done mate!

Just tried out the sending apps into the Recents carousel at circa 9:50, and on my handset there is no issue with the fade for me on the latest software.

I recently bought a Pixel 6a. Switching from a budget Samsung. I've used Nova Launcher for years, but this time saved all of my settings, which, I'm pleased to say were transferred seamlessly over to the 6a. That included the setting which removes the pointless (IMO, as I have Chrome) Google Search Bar.

The production quality is 🔥

very good cinematic review Sam, truly an awesome creation. You deserved the LIKE👍

That's one of the neatest intros i've seen in a while!

I’ve been waiting for the Sam Beckman review since launch! The de facto Pixel review!

Just got one and loving it

I'm feeling a lot better about using my Jump on Demand upgrade for this phone...I know what to expect and it will fit in with my daily usage needs!

great as always Sam, thank you!

Is it possible to know the name of the music app / skin applied? thanks, and great video!

your videography is amazing!

Great job on this video!

I felt like I was watching a movie. Awesome cinematography and lighting!!

I was just thinking the other day of how I have yet to see a video for your review. Didn't disappoint as usual.

💯 I want those symmetrical bezels back too. Still got the pixel 5 just because it looks perfect

Hey ! Do you have the bug with recent apps when you have the Pixel Launcher as default app ? I don't have the bug you're describing on my Pixel 7 Pro and my Pixel 5

Looking forward to the regular pixel 7 review! I think that might be the every person phone from what i have seen

Love this aspect ratio. Looks great on my note 20 ultra. Also shout out to the #crispy footage

Were those photos your's or stock? The composition and clarity on the ones with the kids were perfect.

Great video ! I appreciate how you took the time to actually use the phone and point out things google should fix for a better user experience. Hopefully Google listens, they have what it takes to take over, I feel they just need more feedback

One just purchased the Pixel 7 Pro. One of the best reviews I've seen, great job mate.

Js love the way sam work on these beautiful videos 👍✨❤️

Intro is just wow 😍

Can we take a moment to appreciate how damn slick that intro transition is? The man has only had 15 seconds and already made me sit up straight.

great review

Just picked one up. Thanks for the in depth review

Mate, are these tech review videos or straight up movie scenes? They are so well done. Keep it up.

It's finally here!

That weird double animation 9:57 is also present on my vivio iqoo 9se, i had to suffer with this on a daily basis as i use maps often.

Love the phone!! But is there a way to get rid of the white notification shade when you scroll down?

flagship level intro, theme wallpapers....on all your videos

7:21 wow, is that TapTap to make double tap to lock the phone?

They need to increase the charging speed to at least 65watt. People will comment and say oh that will hurt battery longevity but competitors have done multiple things that reduce the strain on the battery making it a dual cell battery and putting the chips that generate heat during charging in the power brick making the phone stay cooler and charge quicker along with a nice thermal heatsink

good video. though i am using 13 pro max at the moment. and thinking of going to s22 ultra, I liked this phone too. also, whats about the colored band on top of the video? intentional?

Awesome video! I've purchased the Pixel 7 Pro and I've been waiting for it for your review. Your reviews are very in-depth and very realistic. Thank you. You know how to explain how things work for the device so I appreciate that greatly mate!

I got one on Friday and I'm not completely blown away. Mind you it's an upgrade to my Huawei Mate 20 pro which was massively ahead of its time.

I really believe this is the smoothest, bug free Pixel phone ever! This phone makes every other phone feel outdated and gimmicky. Smartest one out there for sure 😊

Just picked one up. Upgrading from a Samsung Note 9. Gotta say if this was the "improved brightness" then thank goodness I did not get a pixel 6 pro. The Pixel 7 still looked much darker than my note 9. That being said the transition was much easier than I expected. Loving it so far.

I just hope they give us the option to decide if we want the aggressive image processing or not. That's one of the biggest issues I have so far.

Enjoying my first ever pixel 7 pro. Wish Google adds a manual mode in the camera.

I NEED the wallpaper at 8:57!!! Where do I get it from? 🤤🤤🤤

The video edits are top notch

Has anyone had any luck finding a good looking case that covers the metal on the camera bar? I'm worried about Google knocking down my future trade in value because of scratches.

I am glad you also covered the third party launcher gesture navigation in software part, It was one of the reason to install custom rom to my poco x3 and the android 13 is working like a charm and the nova launcher is so smooth It was a very nice review! Love you channel sam

i got mine yesterday. today i noticed my car holder lowered the volume. i'm going to fix that by adding some padding to part of the right side clamp so that the rocker isn't pressed

literally just got my 512 delivered 5 mins ago transferring info from my iPhone 14 pro max. I never had a pixel but I am excited to see what this can do

You know what ? I would love to buy again a 2022/2023 phone like the one from your introduction - without punch hole... Got my OnePlus 7 Pro from the introduction in 2019 in May. It still works like i charm, but could use some camera improvement.

I haven't had that app switcher fade bug you were taking about on my pixel 7 pro, weird.

Wow, those lock and unlock transitions? What are those?

Been running Android 13 with the Pixel 6Pro from the start and I have never ran into the app fading when going into the recent app carousel.

I really love this phone, its pixel through and through...and when you let me know how to work it speaking with your sexy Aussie accent, I melt ! Thank you Sam🥰😘

I moved from pixel 5 to iPhone 14 pro which I’ve had for about 5 weeks. I’ve had the first 3rd and 5th generation pixels and I’m now in the process of moving back to pixel and getting the 7 pro soon. Why I moved away from pixel is beyond me. Pixel just can’t be beaten I feel.

When we open the recent apps, why is "clear all" all the way to the far left? May as well swipe each app away if I have to go all the way to the left to clear everything.

just got mine after 4 and a half years with oneplus7; the switch was very much needed XD

Im getting a pixel pro 7 soon in the next week or so what would be the best way to condition the phones battery to get the most out of it

How about gaming experience? Does it get warm after long & heavy use?

Are those your own wallpapers Sam?

For me I love this phone so much only problem I have is with the camera I have dark skin tone and it makes me even darker when I snap selfies lol forcing me to have to adjust the selfies in post

I love my pixel 7 pro, and I recommend under Developer Options to change the animation to .5. There's still a little animation, but it's so fast and slick. Maybe not everyone's taste, but I really like it.

Love how the hazel colour is the most popular. Kinda nice not seeing everyone rock pure black units.

At 4:45, I'm assuming you are on the latest update since this video was only uploaded 18 hours ago. I can't reproduce this on my own Pixel 7 Pro with the latest November 5, 2022 update. Smooth as expected. Are you also on this update?

Dude that intro was sublime.

Agreed on everything , however I'm not sure about the Haptics . The first software release let you adjust the amount of time in milliseconds as to how long it buzzed for with each click . They took that option away now and it's definitely not as strong as it was . I use navigation gestures and swipe to type and the Haptics are only gently noticed . I'm actually disappointed with the Haptics and think the iphones are much stronger . And no , I'm not and iphone user , nor do I like much else with their phones .

Thinking of getting the 7 pro or waiting til the s23. Have a s20fe but ready to get a newer phone. How are the speakers on the 7pro? Don't hear many comments on them.

Upgraded from Pixel 6 and it's a lot smoother no bugs better hand feel and face unlock.

I know that people really love their Nova setups, but I just wanted to point out that Niagara Launcher has been working near flawlessly with gesture navigations for well over a year now. If you like the layout of the launcher, its a stable and high quality launcher that I've been daily driving for years.

What wallpapers are you using in this video?

The 7 pro is my first pixel and I love it. Used iphones and the galaxy s22 ultra before. The pixel combines both good things of these brands. Smoothness of apple (close but not quite the same) and the android features of samsung but much snappier than their micro laggy software. Pixel 7 pro is great

Got the 7pro, biggest issues are touch is still iffy having to press buttons especially back button multiple times to register. Only other grievance is, the speakers suck. My 4A sounds quite noticably better

love the intro

nobody else mentioning the phone mount volume rocker issue. Sigh. I got the ESR HaloLock ring to use MagSafe mounts/accessories, will see if it works soon.

I've started using "whilst" because of you. Btw Big Fan!

Which launcher are you using? I thought there’s no launcher which supports android 13 yet

Have you had issues with the network coverage and wifi?

Looks as there using machine learning (a.i.) for more on the Pixel 7 Pro. My speakers, both ear and loud speaker had a very different untuned and tingy sound when I first got it and now they sound both louder and easier on the ears than my old Pixel 6. Also, cameras where nearly the same if not worse on the Pixel 7 compared to the 6 until many photos/videos later it was clearly (excuse the pun) better. Essentially the phone needs use to calibrate/tune it's cameras and speakers, and it's worth it.

will you do a base pixel 7 review?

2:10 what music player app is that?

Why don't reviewers talk about call quality which is the fundamental function of a phone

what an intro!

Got a 7 from an s21+ and it's fantastic! Definitely recommend the change to anyone in a similar boat. Love the smaller size and camera and UI smoothness and consistency

THIS INTRO!!

Does anyone know a way you can change the back button on the navigation from back left to the traditional right

what music player you are using in 2:11 ?

As an avid Samsung fan.. Id have to say Google knocked it out of the park with the 7pro..I switched from an a53, because real life performance does matter. I've owned plenty of notes and S series phones..but this 7 pro is the right price, right size and is overall a very fluid experience. There are some quirks but everyday gaming and productivity this phone is a beast

Yoo saamm its excellent videoo

sensaa, sponsaa, feachaa😁😁😆 great review mate

hey , whatsup...whats the music app that you use
