When Google freshened up the Pixel line last year with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, we gave both phones mostly positive marks in our reviews. They were two Google phones that actually tried to be great, even if they ended up having flaws, mostly in heating and network departments. I never truly...

At a price of 599 bucks (the same price as last year’s Pixel 6), I do think that the Pixel 7 is a great Android phone especially given the relatively low cost, which makes it considerably more affordable than competing flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S22, the iPhone 14, and even the OnePlus 10...

Solid Design and Display, Improved Biometrics are much welcome, Camera Remains Consistently Great, No Price Increase

Tensor G2 isn’t a massive performance upgrade

Same superb photography skills we expect from Pixel phones; Build is slicker than last year’s effort; No price increase for 2022;

90Hz refresh rate limit feels arbitrary; Plays second fiddle to Pixel 7 Pro;

The iPhone 14 is better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

Powerful droid The smaller of the Google Pixel 7 series models possesses not only a more compact form factor than the Pro model but also has to make do with a few compromises on the technical front. What they are and whether they are noticeable in everyday use, find out in our review.

Bright and accurate 90Hz display, Snappy system speed, Long-term update support, IP68 certification, USB 3.2 (2nd gen)

USB-C doesn't support video output, Still no 6 GHz Wi-Fi, Throttling under load

The Google Pixel 7 a lovely mid-price phone with enough features and performance to keep most users happy, especially at its current price which is $599/£599 for the 128GB version.

You need to have confidence in your smartphone. I’m confident in my Google Pixel 7, as it has done almost everything I asked of it and sometimes even exceeded my expectations. However, there is some evidence my confidence shouldn’t be taken as proof that you’ll be equally as happy and confident in the Pixel 7 you buy. There is a cloud hanging over this otherwise excellent smartphone, but should it affect your decision to buy it? The Pixel 7 isn’t a design revolution compared to the Pixel 6, and that’s the best thing that could have happened. It gives Google a cohesive, recognizable, and attractive smartphone platform on which to build. Rather than drastically rework the shape, Google has refined it, making the visor-like camera module even more of a standout design element while changing the available colors so it doesn’t look exactly the same as last year’s phone. I’ve been using the standard Obsidian black version, and although I often find black phones a little bland, the glossy fin...

Superb camera; Long battery life; Eye-catching design; Vibrant screen; Years of software updates; Fantastic price;

Slow charging; Software bugs; Poor gaming performance;
