Google Pixel 7 Pro

Excellent camera and loads of clever camera tricks ; The best version of Android on the market ; Priced well for the European market

Charging could, and should, be faster ; Very glossy finish and some odd design elements ; Not a huge upgrade on the Pixel 6 Pro

The Google Pixel 7 Pro is a strong value proposition compared to other big smartphones, especially following its big price drop. It has a great camera, a smooth screen and a suite of software features that’ll make switching hard.

Lighter than the two main competitors, about as premium too; IP68 dust- and water-resistant.

Below average battery life, perhaps partly a consequence of display refresh rate seemingly not as adaptive as advertised.

Ultimately, though, the Pixel 7 Pro is a compelling package that can easily win over other brand loyalists if given a chance, and the enticing pricing helps a lot. Meanwhile, the folks already on the #teampixel bandwagon will need more convincing,...

Bold, striking design Gorgeous 120Hz screen Face unlock works well Fast and powerful performance Top-tier camera system Pixel features are unmatched

Poor fingerprint sensor Tensor G2 runs hot Mediocre battery life Endless software bugs

Distinctive design stands apart from the competition ; Very fairly priced in context to other flagships ; Super camera results and easy-to-use interface ; Great software and battery life

Aluminium finish scuffs far too easily ; Macro Focus should be more adept (and OIS would help) ; Charging not the fastest, especially compared to the competition

An ace Android phone that rivals the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra for phone of the year in my view, but for a cut of the price. There are some shortcomings in materials and camera feature implementations, but nothing that can't be forgiven. So if you're...

Camera performance ; Great display ; Clean software experience ; Competitive price

Not many changes from Pixel 6 Pro ; HDR sharing limited ; Face unlock limited

The Pixel 7 Pro is an incremental improvement over the excellent Pixel 6 Pro with real gains made in the camera experience, especially at the far end of the zoom. As a flagship device, the Pixel 7 Pro is aggressively priced, offering a complete...

12GB RAM and good performance ; Great 120Hz display ; Large battery ; Very good Camera HW score

Very slippery phone ; Small performance improvements ; Battery life could be better

The Google Pixel 7 Pro lives up to its fans’ expectations and delivers a good update with incremental improvements over the Pixel 6 Pro. If you already own a Pixel 6 Pro, it’s not an obvious upgrade (we recommend waiting), but coming from a Pixel 6a,...
