[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
I hate curved screens as well and came from a Samsung Galaxy s22 plus with a flat screen.

I have the Pixel 7 Pro now and traded in another device for it.

I am not going to lie, I tried a few TPU screen protectors and they were not good. I ended buying a Whitestone dome and although it is a hassle installing and the first attempt I got bubbles the second worked and it has so far been excellent.

I use a Spigen hybrid clear case or a Zagg gear 4 Denali that I got on sale. I would highly suggest getting a good case for the phone because it is super slippery if you don't use one. The Spigen was $13 and Zagg has sales or discounts and I got mine for $10.

I had the OnePlus you have and the curve is much more prominent on the OnePlus than the Pixel. It is a very subtle curve and if it were not for the screen protector bring a pain I almost like it. Almost.

The thing is I believe both the 7 and 7 Pro are on sale right now and the 7 at $499 is a hard value to beat. That being said I like the Pro better because of the slimmer bezels, the 1440p resolution, the extra ram at 12gb, and the zoom lense. I also like the larger screen. I have heard the Pro uses a better quality screen as well. However I like the brushed metal on the 7 better. The screen on the Pro scored 3rd on DXO mark and I can honestly say the color accuracy, color temperature and image quality of the display is really impressive.

I don't think you can go wrong with either to be honest. It is more do the things I mentioned mean anything to you? Is $250 worth it? For me they were and I have zero regrets. If I got the 7 I would probably be bothered by the compromises. Having the larger battery on the Pro is also nice.

I traded in one of my all time favorite phones the iPhone 13 Pro Max and I thought I would regret it. It was locked to a carrier who would not unlock it so it was either keep it and not use until or if I ever switched back to that carrier, get another iPhone or get the Pixel 7 Pro. Google was offering a crazy trade in value plus the sale which meant the phone didn't cost me anything. So despite being somewhat locked in the Apple ecosystem I decided to take a chance on the Pixel. I would have had to pay a minimum of $400 to get a regular iPhone 14 Pro.

Having used it for a couple weeks I am really happy I got the Pixel 7 Pro. It feels just as fast and fluid as my old iPhone. I like Pixel software and Android 13 better than iOS 16, the device is lighter yet the screen seems bigger to me with smaller bezels. Battery life is not as good as the iPhone but it is not bad at all. I am a really heavy user and I usually have around %45 at the end of the day. Charging seems fast enough as it takes about an hour and a half but I use adaptive charging at night.

The call reception and wifi reception are good. Call quality is excellent. I have used it on a road trip and could always get a signal.

It has been really solid software experience with no bugs I have experienced and super fast updates.

The cameras are excellent. I had to use macro lense for a warranty claim and on a translucent surface I was able to show what I needed to get a replacement. Zoom shots and regular shots all turn out great.

This is by far the best phone Google has ever made and for me I appreciate all the extras in the Pro and am so glad I got it over the 7.
