[Google Pixel 7] NepoRood:
I'm ready for the Pixel 7 Pro, should be a decent upgrade over my 3 and 4 XL's. I know I"m going to miss some of the features that I've grown accustomed to over the last few years (Squeeze and Face Unlock) mostly.

I'm sure I will adapt, though
[Google Pixel 7] Keith W:
The Pixel 7 and 7pro both have face unlock
[Google Pixel 7] bobby janow:
I believe it's only for phone unlock not biometric auth for apps though.
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
I'm concerned about the modified Exynos 2200 inside, hope the modifications done are worth buying the 7 series.

The "raw" Exynos 2200 is well known as a bad chip that powers the S22 series in various regions.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
This is a modified Exynos 2100, not a 2200. The 2200 used all of ARM's new cores while the 2100 used X1, A55, and A78 like Tensor G2 does.
[Google Pixel 7] LLStarks:
Being a year behind Exynos when the fate of the 2300 is still unclear is not good.

What's the Pixel 8 even supposed to be? ARMv9 and 3nm?

Samsung will eventually run out of canceled chips and designs to repurpose into Tensor.
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
Yeah, I missed it. Thank you.

Almost a 2 year old chip....bettered.
[Google Pixel 7] 96carboard:
Have and am keeping P6P, but buying P7P for the wife to replace P2XL. GrapheneOS has their preorders made and should be receiving dev devices in the next couple of days, and considering how similar the P7[P] is to the P6[P], I wouldn't anticipate it taking them too long to get things working.
[Google Pixel 7] pseudonym58:
Perhaps, but I'm pretty happy with my Samsung s22. Pixel 7 might just be a little bit too large and too heavy, but we'll see. If I like it, I plan to trade in an s10e (that was sitting in a drawer) for $300, so that would sweeten the deal considerably! If not, I'll look forward to trying the S23 eventually.
[Google Pixel 7] condor97:
I really would love to try this phone, and maybe I will. The processor issues mentioned above bother me. I have not heard a lot of great things about the Exynos chips. I have a Galaxy S10+ that is still going strong, and have always been glad that I have the Snapdragon over it's Exynos counterparts.

All that said it seems like a pretty solid phone, and Google seems to be good at making the processor work for them. I handled a floor model at Best Buy and the build quality felt very premium. It had a very nice screen and the speakers were pretty good. The software and UI of course was awesome. My last Google phone was the Nexus 6p which I loved. I still think there is something special about having a Google phone.

Of course the S10+ I have still hangs with it, which is the main reason I haven't gotten a new phone for so long. I am on the fence, and I think I will wait for the data/reviews to come in (I really wish they would allow reviews during this preorder time). I am looking forward to hearing everyones experience.
[Google Pixel 7] condor97:
Whelp I decided to pull the trigger. Vote changed!:)
[Google Pixel 7] Peter Johnn:
Thanks for the response! I too saw some reviews and the phone is less than the flagships of 2022 but I like the looks and I'm pretty much satisfied with this performance! iPhone nailed their specs and performance but I don't like their old looks so I'm going with the Pixel 7...
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
Indeed. I am trading in my old 12 Pro Max for a 7 Pro today myself lol.
[Google Pixel 7] Peter Johnn:
Nice, I'm trading in my GT 2 Pro for a Pixel 7!
[Google Pixel 7] t-ryder:
Well, f* me... I ordered one. Obsidian, 256GB, original Google charger (780€ all in). Gonna get the black Pixel Buds Pro for free, will sell them for like 150€. Gonna sell my Realme GT2 Pro for like 420€ I guess. Thinking of vanilla Android and the Pixel camera made me ordering it. I hope I won't regret. I learned nothing lol.
[Google Pixel 7] robbiepeyt:
197 g. And with a cover around 250 g I guess. I pass.
[Google Pixel 7] t-ryder:
Mine arrived today. Never have I had a device with such a loud noisy clicking when pressing the powerbutton... wtf Google.
[Google Pixel 7] Gruuuvy:
My P5 was working great seeing I never used it for more than a couple months and got it new around $537 from Best Buy, (they screwed up). I did like the size but the the Trade in offer for a Pixel 7 of $370 from Best Buy was to good to pass up for an Android phone that will receive updates... I'll use it as a back up to my 13 Pro when I need to just change things up...
[Google Pixel 7] niyonsv:
My OnePlus 7T's main board died a few days ago, so could find only the Pixel 7 in the place of 7T, I mean with the similar specs (I think there are other OnePlus's too but very less chance of choosing any other from OP). May get other brand's with better specs too but I need stock Android or with minimal skinning of AOSP (OOS was there but no more), also no custom ROMs too for them if I'm correct.

So very likely to grab a Pixel 7, and the only factor that's concerning me is the price :/ not sure if I would spend so much for a mobile phone.
[Google Pixel 7] xtcislove:
I come from a OP8 Pro and i dont liked the software updates lately.

Im really happy with my Nothing Phone 1 and its nearlys half a Pixel 7 in price.

If you are not into the many camera features of the pixel and the other exceptional awesome software goodies the NP1 is an awesome choice.

The NP1 has awesome build quality, looks awesome and there is no bloatware at all. Sure the chip is not the best but thats it.
[Google Pixel 7] niyonsv:
Yeah that's also in my list and yes because of the price. My only concern about NP1 is the quality of cameras, I mean it should be similar or better to my 7T, just that. I'm not a too much phone camera person, have DSLR, though I need good photos when clicked with phones, also videos too. Lol I had a plan to trade my 7T for NP1 when it was released because of the too much hype, though there wasn't literally any reason to replace my 7T after seeing and reading the reviews, since the spec is very similar to 7T, not that the NP1 isn't good, 😊

Anyways thanks for the suggestion 👍
[Google Pixel 7] Elijah256:
I've recently switched to Pixel 7 and its user interface is good, is there anything I've to know about this phone cause I'm new to Pixel phone? Just some little information to optimize this phone to work better!
[Google Pixel 7] jasongw:
I fell for the marketing and traded in my Galaxy S20fe for a pixel 7.

Worst. Phone. EVER.

I hate their Android implemention. It's far LESS customizable than a Samsung, which is shocking. The fingerprint sensor is trash.

I'll be trading it in the first time a good offer comes along, and I'll never buy another Pixel phone. It's basically Google's flavor of an iphone, but not even close to as good as an iphone.
[Google Pixel 7] bobbyphoenix:
You completely miss the intention of the Pixel phones. They are to showcase Google's software (which they do very well). They aren't for everyone. They are a no bells and whistles type of phone. Samsung phones are aimed at the general public, and try to be an all-in-one phone. That's the great thing about Android. Many manufactures to choose from. Each with their own take on what a phone should be. Sorry you don't appreciate it for what it is.
[Google Pixel 7] jasongw:
I understand the point. The problem is that Google does a **** job of providing OPTIONS. I don't buy Android phones to get a worse version of the iphone experience.

All that aside, three fingerprint sensor issue STILL makes the device miserable to use. Google obviously doesn't give a damn about quality control.
[Google Pixel 7] bobbyphoenix:
Google emphasizing 'Pixel Value' and getting features ‘before other Android devices’

With Fixed on Pixel, a rather interesting tagline was introduced. The latest Google ad continues that and is emphasizing "Pixel Value."

[Google Pixel 7] poit:
I accidentelly destroyed my P6, and the price dropped on the P7 so I ordered one on Amazon. Got it the next morning. Swapped SIMs and ready to go. I've got to say, I really can't tell the differance between the 6 and 7. Fingerprint sensor is marginally better, still doesn't work with dry skin. I wouldn't recommend upgrading from a 6 to a 7 unless you've got cash to burn. I like the 7, but I liked the 6 too.
[Google Pixel 7] srok@:
I moved from s21fe because I want updates as on iPhone. Asap. Except that I wouldn't change (and my gf could take it from carrier for €225).

It's good phone but fingerprint. Omg. It's really bad. Really, really bad.
[Google Pixel 7] spat24:
I also come from an s21 fe which had a sim support hardware problem.

in possession of the pixel 7 for 1 month, I admit not to be disappointed.

the battery scared me at first but everything is fine now.

for the fingerprint, it must be set up in a well-lit place.

note that the last update improves things a lot.
[Google Pixel 7] doggydog2:
I despised Nexus and Pixel phones since the beginning. But now they caught my attention being super high on Dxomark chart (both camera and display). And the smart features.

So here I am, found another home brand.

Fingerprint is OK, pretty fast, but you will do bit mistakes as nothing compares to physical fingerprint.

What I like battery is fat. Stays charged until next day evening, with 4hours SOT. All despite its constant listening to events, "hey google", 24/7 song identification, sleep noise recording, and all classic wakelocks on, and BT devices connected nonstop. Pure standby is 2 days, but this could double if i turned off all those background features.

What I tolly love is it ain't killing apps (despite above paragraph). Suddenly the absolutely horrendous frustrations are gone. No longer blocked VPN, unreachable Signal, and dead MI Home notifications. Lot of functionality is recovered. Therefore, I will be switching other Samsungs to Google. Just to make phones WORK.

Productivity is the reason i can't go with blank firmware like Sony or OnePlus. Here on Pixel there are lot of extras, maybe not as much as on OneUI, but it's solid. The text extraction everywhere is excellent. Quick phrases are promising (but not reliable!!). The list goes on. Basic apps are solid. No bloatware! My routine of writing customized startup script to debloat is gone.

Speed is good. We know GFX is on par with flagships and CPU is not. Since smart features are somehow accelerated many apps feel very fast, but some classic apps which do a lot of processing will be slower (Bitwarden, email etc).

Display is strong, zero backbleeding on low brightness. No brain piercing PWM blinking like on Samsungs. Readability is not as good as on Samsung, of course it won't push perfect brightness at dark or sunlight. Weird fonts don't help it either. But it's not mediocre like on Sony or earlier OnePluses.

Camera is good, brings way more light in dark scenes as opposed to Samsungs. Bokeh is also less crap (tho generally no bokeh is good if you view pictures on PC). I strictly like real face colors.

What I miss about the phone is some visible wow factor. Like the ability to fold or pop up camera or bring old features everyone wants "sd card / jack / notiflight / no-notch":) Ability to crack the camera glass doesn't count!
[Google Pixel 7] O.J. Simpson:
Do you want the hot girl that is just T&A - or do you want the cute girl with a brain that you can settle down with?

That's the Pixel choice in a nutshell ;)

*I always choose the cute girl. Less hassle, more fun.
[Google Pixel 7] 41rw4lk:
If anyone knows about women being a hassle, it's OJ.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sib64:
Are you willing to spend as much or a little more on the new Google Pixel 7 Pro, which seems to be a best of smartphone?

If you want to know more about the Google Pixel 7 serie, go to read HERE
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TonikJDK:
If it uses the same modem as the 6 Pro, absolutely not.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Stickmanx89:
It is rumored to use the Exynos 5300 modem. I have no idea if its gonna be any good.

Ref: https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-7-3112003/
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sib64:
It turns out that the Pixel 6 Pro uses the Shannon A5123 5G modem made by Samsung, the Shannon 5511 sub-6GHz FR1 transceiver box, and the Shannon 5710 FR2 mmWave transceiver. The latter is missing from the non-US versions of the Pixel 6 Pro.

Subject to confirmation, the Pixel 7 Pro is said to use Samsung's Exynos 5300 modem

We'll just have to wait and see what modem Google uses for the 7 series and the 7 Pro in particular ;)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RogerF81:
From what I've heard, it will have a new modem. That's why I nearly surely will get the 7 Pro.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] spevil07:
I am interested, my op10 pro goes back to amazon and I'll use OP7 pro.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Stickmanx89:
That bad ?

I wonder how long before the other brand offer similarly fast charging
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] spevil07:
There are no sources so no Kernel/Rom, lenses are blocked so no gcam, and there is no msm download tool anymore,

Soo OP 10 pro is trash.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Stickmanx89:
I want to like the P7P, I want to get one, but the more I look at it, the more I lean towards jumping ship for Samsung or most likely Apple. It would be my first apple mobile device, but aside from the eSIM all seems well.

The P6 is dreaded, and it took them way too long to offer software fixes.

I'm worried about the modem and don't understand why they're not going with Qualcomm.

It doesn't look like we'll be getting much in terms of camera improvement.

The battery will most likely be similar to the P6.

To answer your question plainly, I don't think there is any price point that justifies the risk of another failed device. I plan on waiting for the reviews. If the modem ain't stellar, it will be an automatic no from me because of my remote usage. If the modem works as well as the competition, then I'll have a hard time choosing.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] galaxys:
Not interested at this time, but will be watching hand's on reports and reviews....📱
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
After hearing that it still has A55 cores, it's a no for me. I have not decided if I'm sticking with my OnePlus 9 or switching back to iPhone (I was on the 12 Pro Max for the last two weeks but the OOS13 beta dropped on the OnePlus 9 today and I kind of like it so I'm back on the OnePlus for now) but most relevant to this thread, I'm *not* going back to Pixel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] drmorrowa2:
I'm writing this from a pixel 2 XL. Was previously using a One Plus 9 Pro. Had to switch back after the hyped up Hasselblad camera stopped focusing. In hindsight, it was a mistake to go with the one plus brand. My old pixel 2 it's working much better, and I will certainly be getting the 7 Pro
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zymphad:
Will depend on modem. The modem on Pixel 6 Pro is absolute dog**** worst I have used.

But I will be getting rid of the Pixel 6 Pro, this is by far the worst phone I have ever used.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
I am very happy with the 6 pro, but I like the look of the new minimal curve on the 7 pro. if there is also a higher peak brightness i'll be tempted, depending on trade in deals.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Morgrain:
I did not plan on buying the P7 Pro, but since it does bring in a couple serious improvements, I made my pre-order today

- finally we get decent 10 bit HDR recording

- Faceunlock (as far as the presentation went, it's only for unlocking the phone and will not work as a biometric in-app or to make a payment)

- finally a decent peak brightness to work in the sun (1500 nits)

- 20 vs 30 res zoom with new nifty features

- macro mode (missed that since my ancient Samsung Galaxy alpha days), guided frame also looks promising for making videos

- better modem (this one needs reviews of course to validate any improvements; the P6 Pro modem is terrible)

- Tensor 2 should bring, if we look at the node and Googles claims, a 20% improvement in efficiency = better battery life

- and last but not least, the deciding factor that made me get the P7 Pro... European Google store offer the Pixel Watch LTE, valued at 429 €, for free when pre-ordering the 899 € P7 Pro. If I couple that with Rakuten and a Google Store cashback of 10% (Google One, 2 TB), sell the watch and my old phone, I get a new shiny phone and will actually have more money than I started out with. That's great of course.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sib64:
In July, I had planned to buy the Nothing Phone(1) which looked interesting, and which is despite its setbacks the 1st smartphone produced by Nothing. Then, for personal reasons, I didn't buy it, and I turned to the Pixel 7 series that was supposed to arrive.

Very tempted by the 7Pro in 256GB, I hesitated for a long time and changed my mind again.

Looking at the specs, even if Google has improved this 7 series, I'll try to wait for the 8 series, which should arrive with a new processor and finally a non-curved screen and maybe a significantly reduced size for the 8Pro 256GB.

I'm staying with my OP 7T 256GB which I'll soon upgrade to custom rom, as OnePlus is not in a hurry to upgrade it to OOS12.

I wish you good time for the owners Pixel 7 serie ;)(y)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Morgrain:
I'm not sure if that hope of yours will result in reality. Google has made it clear that they are all about design and how it looks, and less about function. Just listen to the people presenting Pixel products, look at the Pixel watch (little screen real estate (square smartwatches have great advantage) and continental sized bezels are okay, as long as it looks good): the aesthetic is of greater importance to Google than practicality.

There is simply nothing to indicate that Google would steer away from that path. They consider a curved display to look nice.

Ergo I highly doubt that Google would dramatically change that business strategy for the next iteration of this phone. People like you and me, who would enjoy an even panel more, are simply not in the targeting group of Googles marketing.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linuxkek:
The Pixel 7 Pro is almost perfect but the Pixel 6 has the worst connectivity and reception of any phone I've used, even behind the Galaxy devices.

No reviews means it would be just great on paper.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] x111:
it's time to retire my oneplus 7 pro and get pixel 7 pro
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rester555:
I really wish google would get into the charging game like the oneplus 10 plus... That thing charges from 20% to 80% in 10 minutes
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah I'll miss my OnePlus 9's 29 minute 0-100%.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Joloxx9:
As a S21 Ultra user I am going to say, my next phone is going to have NORMAL, I will repeat NORMAL screen. There is nothing more retarded in the phones than accidental clicks, I can't even count how many times I clicked on the edge and skipped movie on youtube etc.

I was thinking about getting Pixel 7 pro as it looks solid, but now when Androidpolice confirmed curved screen I can say only "Bye bye". Plus unfortunately 30W charging in nearly 2023?! Seriously google? Some xiaomi phones have 50W wireless :D
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Karun_Thomas:
As the phone launched in India I'm very interested in getting this phone but I've to learn more about it so I don't have to regret buying it!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hello00:
I'm the same too. I can't deal with curved screens. I hated it. Flat screen is the one way to go.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ern88:
I have a V60 now. I'm torn if I should get the Pixel 7 or pixel 7 pro. Not sure if the extra cash for the pro is worth it or not. Guess I'll wait for the official reviews. When does the review embargo lift?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
On the 12th I think so Wednesday.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Saving time copying hundreds of gigabytes of FLAC music to my wife's and my phones = priceless. :)

(due to USB 3.2 Gen 2 versus Gen 1 which is 12-year old technology)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
Yeah, that warp charge is something special. One of the best parts of owning an OP phone.

As far as am I interested, I'm very interested as long as the modem from the 6 is fixed. I probably would have had a 6 if it weren't for that fact. I've had nothing but issues with my OP9. Crappy BT is my biggest problem, but it just does weird stuff constantly. Probably the worst OP phone I've owned. Loved the 6, was ok with the 7 Pro, hate the 9.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
My OP 9 with the flat screen was no better than my 7 Pro. That surprised me. I usually have a bumper on my phone anyway, the curved screen is less of an issue.

I still prefer a flat screen, but the curved screen is no longer the deal breaker it once was for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
If you're on AT&T and trade in a device (LG v60 qualifies), the difference is literally free vs $3 for the 128 GB model and $5 for the 256 GB model. It's a no brainer for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I'm not that concerned about the modem at this point. My OnePlus 9 with a supposedly superior X60, I always have to leave 5G off or lose twice the standby and 20-30% screen on time. The Samsung modem in the 6 was said to be fine on LTE so if I don't like the 7 Pro on 5G, I'll just go back to LTE and be happy.

I can also adapt to slower charging. In fact I have been using my Anker 29W charger to charge my OP9 when I'm at my partner's house and it hasn't been an issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ern88:
I live in Canada buddy. Thanks though.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
No worries. Hope you find a deal that works for you!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Samuel Holland:
Well I jumped the gun, and have the middle pro version coming. The camera footage I seen earlier on YouTube looked phenomenal even though I usually am not the biggest camera fanatic. The one thing I find it hard to grasp is that my OnePlus 9 pro can charge faster wirelessly then the pixel can most likely hit eighty percent w/ a wired connection. And that's not to mention any of the newer devices charging speeds.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] McTerry:
I seem to be on an every-other-year schedule so for me that means picking up the Pixel 7 Pro. Started with the first-gen Pixel, the Pixel 3XL, Pixel 5 (which as my eyesight gets worse is a struggle), and placed the pre-order for the P7P on the 6th.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
Something to keep in mind is that OnePlus (which I use and love) has TWO batteries in their rapid charge phones. This enables them to semi-rapid charge both batteries at the same time which "looks" like they are super charging one battery. So if Google and all the other OEM's did the same thing their relatively slow charging speed would virtually double and the time needed to charge a 2500 battery is half as long as a 5000 battery. So it makes it appear to be super-duper fast.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] analyte:
I took a leap and pre-ordered the Pixel7Pro to replace my OP7Pro. I haven't been impressed with the recent OnePlus devices so I'll try the new Pixel. If it's not for me, I'll just return it and go back to the 7Pro.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Norma Stitz:
I was a long time V10 and V20 user, and LG phone fanboy. I VERY reluctantly chose the 6pro over the V60 and have been pretty happy with my decision. Happy enough that I'm going 6pro to 7pro. I do miss the dac, headphone jack, and sdcard. But the pixel software features have made up for it. I was also turned off by the curved screen, but with a slim case, it feels like a flat screen.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Perus:
I'm worried about the modem, Shannon 5300 is most likely another iteration of Samsungs 5133 which isn't fully mature yet..
