Google Pixel 7: Detailed Review
The Google Pixel 7, launched in October 2022, represents a refined version of Google’s flagship lineup, blending advanced technology with a polished design. It builds upon the Pixel 6, offering improvements in performance, camera capabilities, and software features.
Design and Build
The Pixel 7 continues with the distinctive design language introduced with the Pixel 6 series. It features a similar camera bar design, giving it a recognizable look. The phone has a sleek, modern aesthetic with a glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus), aluminum frame, and a textured back. The device is available in various colors such as Obsidian, Snow, and Lemongrass.
The Pixel 7 is IP68 rated, providing superior protection against dust and water (submersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes).
Display
The Pixel 7 sports a 6.3-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. It offers a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, providing a more fluid experience compared to the Pixel 6’s 60Hz. The OLED panel delivers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and excellent contrast. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, enhancing durability against scratches and drops.
Performance
Under the hood, the Pixel 7 is powered by Google’s Tensor G2 chip, an upgrade from the previous Tensor chip found in the Pixel 6. This new chip promises improved performance, efficiency, and enhanced AI capabilities. The phone handles everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking with ease, showcasing Google’s focus on providing a smooth user experience.
It comes with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. However, it lacks expandable storage, so users must choose their storage option carefully.
Camera
The Pixel 7 improves on its predecessor’s already impressive camera system. It features a dual-camera setup:
- Main Camera: 50 MP, f/1.85, wide
- Ultra-Wide Camera: 12 MP, f/2.2
The new main sensor captures more detail and performs better in low-light conditions, thanks to Google’s advanced image processing algorithms. The ultra-wide lens offers a broader field of view, enhancing landscape and group photography.
The front camera is a 10.8 MP sensor, which provides high-quality selfies and supports video calls with great clarity.
The Pixel 7 can record video in 4K at up to 60fps and 1080p at various frame rates, with improved stabilization and features like HDR10+ recording.
Battery Life
The Pixel 7 is equipped with a 4355mAh battery, which offers decent battery life. It comfortably lasts a full day of moderate use, though heavy users might need to charge it before the end of the day. The phone supports 30W fast wired charging, which can charge the device from 0 to 50% in about 30 minutes. However, there is no support for wireless charging or reverse wireless charging.
Software
Running on Android 13 out of the box, the Pixel 7 offers a clean and intuitive software experience. Google promises at least three years of OS updates and five years of security patches, making it a future-proof choice. The software includes exclusive features like the latest Google Assistant updates, improved Live Translate, and enhanced security options.
Connectivity and Extras
The Pixel 7 supports 5G connectivity (both Sub-6 and mmWave), ensuring fast and reliable network performance. It also includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC. The phone features stereo speakers but, like the Pixel 6a, lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. An under-display fingerprint sensor provides secure and convenient unlocking, though it’s not the fastest on the market.
Pros of Google Pixel 7:
- Powerful Performance: Google Tensor G2 chip delivers excellent performance and AI capabilities.
- High-Quality Camera: Improved camera system with a 50 MP main sensor and enhanced low-light performance.
- 90Hz Refresh Rate: Provides a smoother visual experience compared to 60Hz displays.
- Durable Build: IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
- Clean Software: Android 13 with guaranteed updates and exclusive features.
Cons of Google Pixel 7:
- No Expandable Storage: Limited to internal storage options (128GB or 256GB).
- No Wireless Charging: Lacks wireless and reverse wireless charging support.
- No 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Absence of a headphone jack may inconvenience some users.
- Battery Life: While decent, battery life may not meet the demands of heavy users.
Conclusion
The Google Pixel 7 is a well-rounded flagship that builds upon the success of its predecessor. With its advanced Tensor G2 chip, excellent camera system, and improved display, it offers a premium experience at a relatively competitive price. Despite missing some features like wireless charging and expandable storage, the Pixel 7 remains a strong contender for those seeking a high-quality Android experience with long-term software support.
