Google Pixel 7 Pro review amazing camera unreliable smartphone
By Joe Maring October 12, 2022 Share Google Pixel 7 Pro MSRP $899.00 Score Details "The Pixel 7 Pro doesn't fully address the shortcomings of its predecessor, but it is another Google flagship with a bold design and excellent cameras." Pros Bold, striking design Gorgeous 120Hz screen Face unlock works well Fast and powerful performance Top-tier camera system Pixel features are unmatched Cons Poor fingerprint sensor Tensor G2 runs hot Mediocre battery life Endless software bugs Like a new release from Samsung or Apple, Google’s Pixel family has become an expected quantity during the second half of the year. Once the leaves start turning and the weather begins cooling, it’s a sure sign a new Pixel is on the way. This year, Google’s latest releases take the shape of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

But the Pixel 7 Pro also retains many of the Pixel 6 Pro‘s shortcomings — from lackluster battery life to rampant bugs. The Pixel 7 Pro proves that the Pixel 6 Pro’s foundation is still really strong a year later. But with many of the same issues creeping up yet again, it also has me worried that Google doesn’t know what else to build on top of that foundation.

Google Pixel 7 Pro design
Joe Maring/Digital Trends Google introduced a bold new design language last year with the Pixel 6 family, ushering in two-tone colors and the now-iconic camera bar.

It took the Pixel from mediocre to exciting, and it’s a gamble that paid off in spades. Thankfully, the Pixel 7 Pro keeps the same excellent footprint left by the Pixel 6 Pro — plus a few tweaks to make it better than ever.

The camera bar is still there on the back of the phone, though it’s now housed in a stainless steel casing instead of glass. I personally quite like the new look. The camera bar remains distinct and recognizable, and the pronounced cutouts for the individual sensors add more visual flair.

I do miss the subtle two-tone design offered on the Pixel 6 Pro — and I wish Google had more colors to choose from (your only other options are Obsidian and Snow, aka black and white) — but this is without a doubt a very handsome gadget. The mmWave window is much smaller this year Joe Maring/Digital Trends Furthermore, I appreciate the stronger attention to detail on the Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 6 Pro shipped with a gaudy plastic strip on its top frame to support mmWave 5G.

The Pixel 7 Pro still has a plastic mmWave cutout, but it’s much smaller and painted to blend in with the rest of the frame. Google also scaled back the intensity of the curved screen (more on that below), it doesn’t feel nearly as top-heavy, and the whole package is lighter/thinner — allowing for a much better in-hand feel.

The Pixel 7 Pro is one of the more unique-looking handsets I’ve seen all year. But not every design decision is a great one. Google decided to lower the placement of the power button and volume rocker further down the side frame.

It’s not a drastic change, but it does mean that Pixel 6 cases won’t work with the Pixel 7. More annoyingly, it means the volume-down button is just low enough that it often feels awkward to press without performing some slight hand gymnastics.

It brings a 3120 x 1440 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness up to 1,500 nits (just shy of the 2,000 nits offered on the iPhone 14 Pro). It’s also covered in Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, ensuring it’s well-protected against cracks and scratches. The display was one of my favorite qualities of the Pixel 6 Pro, and the Pixel 7 Pro is no different.

With vivid colors, sharp text, and great viewing angles, this is a screen I’m happy to look at for playing games, watching movies, etc. The 120Hz refresh rate has also felt excellent during my use, making everything on the Pixel 7 Pro feel as smooth as can be.

All of this is made even better with the new shape of the Pixel 7 Pro’s screen. The Pixel 6 Pro’s display had very drastically curved edges, often resulting in accidental touches and making it nigh impossible to apply a screen protector. The Pixel 7 Pro does still have curved edges around its screen, but they’re much less noticeable than before.

I’d personally prefer Google to use an all-flat design as it does on the regular Pixel 7, but this is a good step forward.

The Pixel 7 Pro finally brings face unlock back to Pixel phones, and while it’s good, it’s not how you remember it from the Pixel 4. Face unlock on the Pixel 7 Pro works just like face unlock on a OnePlus or Samsung phone.

The fingerprint sensor doesn’t appear to have improved much at all. Sometimes, it registers my fingerprint just fine and works on the first try. But if it does work, it often takes a beat longer than I’d like it to.

Pixel 7 Pro cameras
Joe Maring/Digital Trends It wouldn’t be a Google Pixel review without a discussion about the cameras, so let’s get right to it. The Google Pixel 7 Pro is equipped with a 50MP main camera with an f/1.85 aperture and laser detect autofocus. The main camera is joined by a 12MP ultrawide camera with nearly a 126-degree field-of-view, plus a 48MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom and up to 30x with Google’s Super Res Zoom.

If I had to find a bone to pick with the Pixel 7 Pro’s camera, it’s that images can sometimes look a little too saturated and Google’s HDR tends to be heavy-handed at times — preferring to take out shadows and really brighten a scene as much as possible. But these aren’t outright bad qualities at all. If you want a phone camera that can effortlessly produce fantastic, eye-catching pictures with ease, the Pixel 7 Pro does so without breaking a sweat.

The Pixel 7 Pro’s camera app now has two shortcuts for quickly jumping to 2x and 5x zoom — the former cropping in on the main sensor, with the latter shifting to the dedicated telephoto camera. You can also keep zooming up to 30x if you want — getting you very, very close to your subject.

It’s a much tighter shot than a non-zoomed photo, and you get that much closer to your subject while retaining an excellent amount of detail. Even shots at 15x look great, giving you a clean and crisp image that’s more than worthy of sharing on social media. Things start to look like a watercolor painting at 30x, but regardless, it’s nice having the sheer flexibility to do so — something the iPhone 14 Pro just doesn’t offer.

The fixed focus means you often end up with soft details in spots, and there’s no opportunity for any natural bokeh. Coming from the iPhone 14 and its excellent selfie camera, the Pixel 7 Pro could have done a lot more here.

Given how similar Android 13 is to Android 12, the Android experience on the Pixel 7 Pro is virtually identical to what the Pixel 6 Pro looked like at launch.

There are subtle tweaks to the things like the now playing widget and Google Search interface, but if you’ve used a Pixel in the last year or so, you’ll be right at home with the Pixel 7 Pro. While Pixels are great for their “stock” Android interface, the real magic of a Pixel lies in the various AI features enabled by Google’s Tensor chip. All of these features that were present on the Pixel 6 Pro return to the Pixel 7 Pro.

Opening a game sometimes shows nothing but a black screen. Going back to the home screen from a full-screen app or game regularly messes up the formatting for the Quick Settings panel (this has happened 10+ times and requires restarting the 7 Pro to fix). YouTube videos occasionally play the video with no audio, or audio with a black screen.

A bizarre shadow appeared over my home screen and app drawer after leaving Twitter, and wouldn’t go away until I restarted the phone.

Pixel 7 Pro performance
Google Under the hood of the Pixel 7 Pro is Tensor G2 — the second generation of Google’s in-house chipset. Google claims that Tensor G2 is 60% faster than the first Tensor chip inside the Pixel 6 Pro, in addition to being 20% more power efficient. In day-to-day use, I’m not sure I really notice any significant speed difference with the Pixel 7 Pro compared to the Pixel 6 Pro.

The design is better than ever, the display looks fantastic, the cameras are outstanding, and Google’s smart software features make the Pixel truly stand out from everything else on the market.

It becomes a difficult recommendation for a phone that starts at $899.

And that’s even more true when you consider the Pixel 7 Pro’s competitors. If you want the latest and greatest Pixel experience, the $599 Pixel 7 is arguably a much better purchase — so long as you can live without the telephoto camera and 120Hz screen.

You can save even more cash and get a similarly great handset with the Pixel 6a. And if it’s a big smartphone with a robust camera system you’re after, I’m inclined to first recommend the Galaxy S22 Ultra or iPhone 14 Pro Max. I don’t think the Pixel 7 Pro is a failure or an outright terrible smartphone.
