Pixel 7 Pro Review - 8 Months Later "I Love It But, I'm Disappointed"
Google Pixel 7 Pro Long Term Review after using it as my daily driver for the past 8 months, from October 2022 to July 2023 & how it competes with the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the S23 Ultra.
What I love about every Pixel phone I owned is well covered by the 7 Pro but, there are other issues that am done with.

Detailed and thorough review once again, agreed on the bad portrait mode and the frustrating video overheating. Hope Google fixes these issues. I'm also into my 4 th device, I am no longer willing to ship to South Africa because of lack of support and unable to claim warranty
Excellent review! Hve you also experienced the camera rattle becoming more evident in normal handling? In my case the rattling was there from day 1, but for the last days it has gotten worse to the point that gentle moves (like picking up the phone) result in loud rattling.
Great review mentioning both pros and cons of the Pixel 7 Pro. Very well done!
I think you should also do a test with older phones to see how they behave over time. I have a P6P and for several months the zoom camera no longer focuses except in daylight. Wasn't it normal to work the same as on the first day? In addition, I could give maximum zoom to make a kind of macro with her help, now she tells me to back off if I want her to focus. What guarantees do those with P7P have that they will not suffer the same next year after the release of P8P? And so on.
Always good reviews. Please keep it up.
Well done review and thanks for taking the time to make it. And a BIG thumbs up.
Thanks for your real life usage report. Super valuable. Thanks
It's for sure level up of video quality! Thank you!
Covered the visor with fabric skin and using spigen liquid air on pixel 7. Wireless charging is a hit or miss and needs some gymnastics to align the qi coil unlike iPhone magsafe. Would have loved to get 2K recording for cinematic video and slow motion. For better LTE or NR connectivity i disabled dual sim standby and 2G. I've observed that Google has added additional p-States and frequency scaling for G2 in July usually fixed overheating issue with running adb app optimization. I'm with you on region locked features such as car crash and hold for me are unavailable in India as there quality of life improvements.
Great video. I'm interested in seeing the comparison between Asus Zenfone 10, Nothing phone 2 and the pixel 7 pro. I couldn't find any videos of it yet..
On point and honest interview. Thanks
I feel the modem is main component holding it back. I dont use 5G so i dont really experience any over heating
You speak very well! I'm your fan, I've always wanted Google I can hear your voice!
Nice video. I hope google sees this and adress some of them for Pixel 8 release. I also try to send alot of feedback to Google hoping these gets fixed. Especially the overheating issue when taking alot of videos and Pictures during an Event. 🤦🏽♂️
Some people confirmed better thermals after the July update, I will try to install and see
Really nice review, Emad, it's been really helpful.Thanks.🙂
Great balanced review. Nice to hear how it works in other countries outside the US. I have had the Pixel 7 Pro almost as long as you and got the s23 ultra when it came out. I like both phones a lot but the issues you bring up like bad thermal control, throttling, poor battery life and modem are the things that keep me from loving it completely. I really hope the Tensor G3 and ufs 4 help with thermals and battery life. The flat screen on the Pixel 8 Pro is also a huge plus. Like you said if Google concentrated on improving what it did with the 7 Pro on the 8 Pro instead of a bunch of new features and the same problems would be a much better outcome. Look forward to seeing more of your reviews. Specially of the upcoming 8 Pro!
I got rid of my Pixel 6 Pro last year because of the terrible thermals and throttling. It'll get hot without really stressing it. I loved the phone, but that was a dealbreaker.
i waited 6 version, its shit, then i waited 7 pro it shits as well, we all pray for the 8 pro but trend year over year shows different direction
we don't need balanced reviews, we need reviews that are strict and tell the truth, no compromises. And the truth is Pixel 7 Pro is not amazing by no means and this review diminishes the bad about it.
I have an unlocked North American Pixel 7 pro; a GREAT phone; BUT BUYER BEWARE. Google perhaps stupidly or in a self-defeating manner, blocks 5G connections to much of Europe and Asia. If you are a mobile warrior or professional who travels often.... AVOID this phone as well until Google addresses this outrageous issue. My friends with Iphones and Samsungs do not face the same issues.
Ah man. I love your vibe dude. Will you be taking a look at the Zenfone 10? It has an insane option to either boot in Stock Android or Asus Optimised version!
Yes I saw the reviews and I loved it, I hope Asus will send one or reach me out in any way
@@IDTR praying for you to get that review sample 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Folks! Can you tell me how to enable the same lock animation as on the 1:07 ??? I mean when the screen gradually fades towards the lock button. I have a 6 Pro, latest version android 13.
Thank you Emad one again for another dope video. My issues still remain overheating randomly (even when I'm not charging or shooting videos) and battery seems to be inconsistent some days...
Even after the July update?
Very nice review. It was enjoyable to watch and provided a lot of information. FYI, the Whitestone Dome screen protector is relatively easy to install (I would suggest watching installation videos from a couple of KZheadrs before hand) and includes a plastic film cover for the metal camera bump. While it is not a perfect fit it does cover the majority of the bump.
This is a problem with the curved edges , I have had many protective tempered glass screen protectors including the glue on ones , they still usually don't take long before they start to lift on the edges , and ive been through this crap with three different devices that all had curved edges . I won't buy another device with curved edges.
@@mikldude9376 I have not experienced that problem. I have used the screen protector on the 6, 6p, 7, and now the 7p without issue. It is best to take the time and make sure the adhesive spreads evenly.
These are the exact issues I've had with my Pixel 7 Pro. I switched back to my iPhone after a couple months because my experience was so disappointing. Hopefully they'll address these issues sooner than later.
Great review as I am always interested in a product after it has several updates. This provides a more accurate review and helps the users decisions before buying.
I use custom roms to emulate the usability of pixel devices, simply because the OS is minimal and amazing. Thanks for you pixel reviews. Just, amazing 🎉
❤
Wow, man, I really hope Google are listening to you! This is REALLY helpful for someone like me, still using my Pixel 4a 5g, and wondering when to upgrade. I was looking to buy a refurbished 7 pro... Now you're really making me think! Perhaps the Pixel 8 will have all the answers. I'll wait until you review it when it appears later in the year. Thanks again, Emad. Great stuff.
Dont buy 7 pro that will be a unforgettable mistake ever
I hve a pixel 7 pro and it has none of problems that he described , but if you can wait and don't mind paying more , wait fo the pixel 8 because I'm sure it will be better.
@@jejunamja Thanks. Makes sense.
@@jejunamja yeah may be!!!
Your videos are so high quality. Love the channel
subscribed for the fair review! other youtubers lie non stop about all of you mentioned
6:56 Hey, when you did that comparison I asked if this particular picture was taken with night mode or if it was just a normal night pic. Didn't get an answer. I'm asking because I started to realise regular night pics actually look pretty nice without night mode brightening them up.
does anyone knows the source of the wallpaper that he used in his homescreen ?
The tensor overheated once ( two days ago ) in my all year of using pixel phones. It's often hot, sure. But overheating is something else.
Pixel 7 user here. Hate the Tensor G2 overheating so much. Biggest gripe with the device. This is my last Pixel device.
Not sure why but I have the best experience using my Pixel 7.
@@glenseruelasame love it so much
For reference I live in a fairly hot climate. However, Samsung's, Xiaomis, Realme's have had no issue with the climate.
@@KingOfCorinthI have a Pixel 6 Pro and I have similar issues to you - constant overheating. If the Pixel 8 series doesn't fix this problem then I will not buy it. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that my 6 Pro will be my last Pixel device as they may get better with later releases. For example, Pixel 9, 10, 11... series.
Same with my Pixel 6 Pro. I will wait for the 8 or 9, or just buy the S23, since I also want a smaller phone.
Credit to the reviewer here mentioning the issue of screen protectors and car cradle. Kudos as no one else has talked about these issues
2:05 What sort of surfaces was it dropped on? Carpet, vinyl, wood, dirt, concrete? I waiting on delivery of mine. I ordered a TORRAS case and no screen protector, but I would prefer to use it without either if it's pretty tuff. Thanks for the video!
Does the photos need to be synced to Google Photos in order to use the advanced photo edits?
thank you for making this video..
How do you receive OTA updates knowing that some countries block the domain Google uses to push updates?
Thank you for mentioning the availability of the Google Pixel specific features and the phone availability in general. Being from a region where pixels aren't available i call the phone a Featureless Stock Android phone with a good camera. Also gotta pray the phone doesn't break or something because there's no way to fix it..
Uso un pixel 7. No había tenido un pixel que me diera tantos problemas. Gracias por tu video. Eres el mejor.
Qué problemas te ha dado? 😥
@@jdzelaya90 que la que hay, Bro. Mira, intuyo que los tantos y tantos problemas que he tenido, se deben a que me suscribí a la beta de android 14. Y desde entonces no han parado los múltiples errores: al navegar hay múltiples lags, muchas de las apps dejan de funcionar sin más no más, etc. Recién llegó la actualización 14 (UPB4.230623.005) y algunos problemas han sido resuelto. Pero hay uno en particular que me tiene decepcionado: esta nueva beta no ha solucionado un error en las notificaciones cuando uso los Pixel buds pro. Pasa que cuando me llega una notificación, ésta no deja de sonar sino hasta cuándo reseteo el celular y/o lo apago. En fin. Ya deseo que esta serie de betas termine. No vuelvo a suscribirme en una.
@@LuisDivaldi Cómo me alegro de no haberme metido a la beta. Mucha paciencia compañero, ánimo.
I dont seem to have these overheating issues in the UK. Maybe its the prehistoric plugs used in the US and other countries. My only issue is that the Bluetooth switch doesn't drop down to let you choose your different devices. Doesn't auto connect to my speakers headphones etc and it's a pain to go into settings. Battery lasts all day with heavy use. Very happy I chose this over my usual Samsung flagship purchases. The camera seems excellent for me I am not a professional photographer just need good looking piccies and this phone is fine. My dad has the latest iPhone and I can't stand it
The UK is not as hot as middle eastern countries and I think that's the main reason for the mixed feedback from people based on where they live
Interesting. I'm in the UK and I've had a pixel 6 pro since March 2022 and it's been overheating since the start, and the replacement I received overheats like crazy too. Sometimes all it takes is a 2 minute video recording and it's cooked. Watch Instagram reels for 10 mins or so and it's toasty, doing that while charging and I'm sure you could cook an egg on it. For the last couple of weeks when it's been hot here I've had to aim a fan at it while charging with the screen off or it charges at 3W. My iPhone used to get warm, but never throttled unless in extreme circumstances like in my phone holder in my car. It's a shame because it's great otherwise, hoping the 8 is less geothermal
Nice review! Awesome vid! Hmmm this vid, your vid makes me think twice of getting the Pixel 7. I don’t wanna waste my money to something that has a potential of regrets in the end.
I recommend waiting for the Pixel 8 or maybe Android 14 will solve these issues
No overheating issues here on my Pixel 7 Pro. My back glass cracked though even though I had a phone case in
1:12 How do you have a different clock style on lockscreen. I couldn't find the option to change. I really appreciate the guidance. Thank you.
That's Android 14 Beta 3.1
@@IDTR Thank you.
@@IDTR Try Android beta 4....so much better than 3.1 was
I am 85 - had a flip phone that I could easily understand - and at home I have an original At&t Rotary Dial phone so I cannot press one for English. They stopped supporting the flip phone so my grandchildren bought me a Pixel 7 Pro. I still do not know how to turn it off. I have been watching various beginners guides here on KZhead and at least I can make a phone call but it is clear that this is extreme overkill for me. But it seems every body else seems to like the choice. Will I have it over ten years like the Flip Phone - we'll see. I wish there was a place where I could easily download an owners manual
Great review. The overheating problem is very serious but unfortunately it is overlooked by Google. You're one of the few KZheadrs who mentioned that. Well done.
No it's not... degoogle the phone operating system and your overheating issues completely disappear. Are you comfortable with the surveillance and spying that Google has infiltrated your entire existence?....why do you think that battery works overtime?
i feel pixel 6 series (i got pixel 6) are more optimized than the 7 series (i have the pixel 7 pro). Even after 8 monthes, my pixel 7 pro still heat a bit (37-40c when i use it in mobile network without bluetooth, location and without synchronizations. I only have around 4h of SoT.
Only 4h of SOT that's crazy bad, what apps do you use the most?
Great video man. I have a question, I'm planning to get a new phone, and I'm between the Samsung s23 and Pixel 7 pro ( keep in mind i found both at the same price) which one should I get?
If you don't care much about the software features of Google get the S23 Ultra or wait for the Pixel 8 hoping that Google will address the overheating issues and if that's the case I will recommend it over the Samsung
you deserve more likes
Honest review, thank you.
wow, good that you made points about screen dimming , and modem battery drain issues. These are annoying problems thr
It seems like people in hot countries are the most impacted
I dont have the overheat issue after recent updates, however the battery life getting worst. Also problem on light flake ring in image is the killer for me not using Pixel in future as it seem it is a long term problem.
Good one! Let google do something on 5g availability, screencall feature, etc
Thanks sir, i have a pixel 7 pro too with all those problems, i have had pixel 1, 2, 3 ,5 , and i was happy to use them but the pixel 7 pro really disappointed me, i have moto edge 30 ultra even running android 12 but I'm very satisfied more than my pixel 7 pro.
Technology is amazing. No matter how much we love our phones, we can always find at least 5 things we want to change about it. I don't know why you're having so many issues with heat. My pixel 6 pro and Pixel 7 pro get slightly warm but never get warm enough to the point to where the phone is turning stuff off. I don't know how so many people are having this issue. I work outside in 100° weather and I push my phone to the max. No overheating issues. Again, it's got to be some issue outside of America. Nobody I know with Pixel phones has overheating issues and it's 7 people. I'm happy you touched on the button issue. There are people literally saying they should switch the power buttons with the volume rockers and lower all the buttons at the same time. And I'm just sitting here wondering why?. The last thing I want is for my phone screen to accidentally turn off versus one volume being pressed. I get every other Android has the power button underneath the volume rocker but I'm sorry world that's the wrong way to do it! They should raise the buttons higher. I don't know why they lowered it for the pixel 7. That was a very stupid move. Google needs to stop listening to people who don't even use their phones.
Tuned in
i like my pixle but have lots of problems... like overheating and losing service...
New intro!
Great review! Do you think it would be worth getting an s23 or waiting until pixel 8 pro?
I would personally wait for the pixel 8
I would also recommend waiting for the Pixel 8 and then decide
wait it's only a couple of months and the price will drop more on s23 by then if you decide to go with Samsung
Thanks all, I will wait to see what the 8 series has to offer!
I having big problem under sun light, the unwanted sun ring really make me switch to another phone later
Google is planning on using TSMC for the Tensor g5 in 2025. I think that will be the real upgrade via the Pixel 10
Pixel X
There will also be a price increase, I guarantee that, it'll be a $1000 phone
@@superiortoall22 facts
That's what happens when people who don't even use your phone. Keep saying oh it should be more premium. It should have this. It should have that. Next thing you know your budget flagship isn't so budget anymore. At a certain point Google got to stop listening to the haters! But I will say I'm totally down for $1,000 Pixel X. Just got to save a little bit longer.
Lol Live in present who cares about pixel 10
Thank you Emad. Your impressions are always appreciated. Did I understand you correctly when you mentioned looking forward to a Chip change for "The Pixel 10" ? I had heard a little bit about Google's Tensor Chip becoming one hundred percent Their Own in 2025 I had been planning on getting the Pixel 9, (i currently have the 6 Pro), but if you're correct, I'll wait for the 10. Perhaps you will discuss that in a future Post. I have, for a long time, felt that Google Should be The Best Android Phone Available bar none. I would be heartbroken if Google didn't feel like minded. Now that they have reached Flagship status it would be a considerable disappointment, to me, for them to not push forward. Thank you once again, JaneLee - in Suburban Philadelphia, USA
You're most welcome, honestly I didn't mention that part about 2025 Tensor, I was just hoping for a better chipset in the Pixel 8
@@IDTR Thank you for replying to me Emad 🙂. JaneLee
I am trying to educate myself as I got a p7 pro recently and know what to expect, but I never seen a review before about a phone listing several issues where literally none seem to affect me. I don't make long videos (or any really) or performance tests, so far battery lasts 1.5 day, surprisingly good considering I got the phone used. I heard in some countries where google doesn't sell the device there were network issues at the beginning. I have a work issued pixel 6 I use for testing and it always felt very mediocre, I just chose the p7p because of the great value, but it's quite a big difference between them and so far happy with the p7p. I don't consider s23 series or iphone 14-15+ real alternatives as they are a lot more expensive, also decided against Samsung due to the several 10 GB extra crap they bundle in the software, and iphone is still at least 5 years behind in software so it's not even an option, feels like a feature phone in comparison. P8 series also seem crazy expensive in comparison, the incremental improvements just aren't worth it.
the app consistency thing isn't just affecting pixel phones, it's affecting all android phones and it should be addressed as soon as possible
i m planning to buy pixel 7 pro in nov, is it still good to buy now? btw my priority is camera and i m no i phone lover.
Exactly the same problems + connectivity issue where signal completely drops and i have to restart the phone. To be honest, they need to figure out Tensor. Until then, i think i'm gonna look elsewhere
I do have to say though, that the pictures taken might look good on a small phone screen. But on a large computer screen they didn't really hold up is you ask me. Judging by your video that is. I haven't used the phone myself yet.
The volume button has fallen out after ~3-4 months of use twice since I bought the P7 pro since it came out. Google send me a new device both times and it happened on the second device as well, hoping it doesn't happen on the third device too!
Sounds as though it "May" be something you're doing wrong 😏.
My 7 pro hilding up pretty good . Have had it now for about 6 months myself. My only conplaint is yhe accidental touches.
I loved my Pixel 4, Pixel 6, Pixel 7 and now 7 Pro. The same will probably go for 8 / 8 Pro. I just like Pixel in general no matter for it's downsides. I like having something different and Pixel is the smartest smartphone of them all.
Thank you.
I agree with vou. 👍 But I always wonder why a phone is not the same phone in every country 🤔
Phones and cell towers need to use the same frequency of signals. Unfortunately this is decided differently in different countries. That's a part of the reason. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands
@@joefox9875 Thanks
I like my pizel 7 pro but im thinking about checking out onepless 11 5g. On paper its a spec monster and tensor is lacking
Habibi, I love this phone lol It's a solid device for the price. Great post!
regarding battery life, I found that economy mode stops the phone from overheating, hence much better battery life

Hi there, your video presentation has improved so well for the past years I'm following your channel. Very detailed infos plus now the visuals ❤. Audio is always excellent. Nice to see u still have the pixel 4 xl. Question: how to know if my phone is on 5g ? I have a pixel 6 and am now living in the Philippines. Yes warranty is an issue, still now no Google store in my country. Buying on line is the only option and it's more expensive 😮
great video i have the 7 pro and i live in saudi Arabia The phone suffers from getting too much hot in the sun and the screen will dim a lot when it's outdoors. do you think it's better for me to buy Samsung s23 ultra because my job is always outside. can you please do a test outdoor and the sun comparing the two the s23 ultra versus Google Pixel 7 pro under the sun to see how the screens look side by side?

nice work
I still haven't got cinematic wallpaper
Yes it's annoying
I Love my P7p but its getting hot and the brightness going down... The batterylife ist also bad.. how can google selling this.....
I missed up.. yeah in the U.S when you walk into Verizon and T-Mobile and AT&T only thing you see is Verizon in everything else is in the corner.. on a tiny display.. i refuse to get an apple and Samsung cuz they got the US on lock.. so I got the Google 7 Pro I was going to save up and get the Sony Xperia 1 mark V I jumped onto the 7 Pro too cuz Verizon gave me like $420 for my Samsung 20 Fe.. so I'm actually getting it for $580. Im going to pay it off and get the Sony Xperia 1 mark V on Black Friday.. I should have went ahead and turned it back in because the battery sucks its 5000mah for no reason.. 😂 it will get very warm.. it will get a little glitchy too.. hey I'm thinking full flex your phone it shouldn't have these types of problems. I haven't messed with the camera yet loke that.. I wish you would have a camera pro mode too .. I seen you cau8 a falling star and your video.. i made was.. i wish google will sent updates to patch up all these issues.. 😅smh Great video bro! 👊🏾💪🏾👍🏾
My brother, Looking FRESH 🔥 with that new haircut. Looking clean 😎.
Since the july update, my p7p never gets hot anymore at all, and ive noticed a huge increase in battery life, actually got 8 hrs
As me
Same as p6p also, no heat issue..🎉
Same here. Pixel 7 Pro only gets luke warm when charging.
Same here, although my P7P never got issues with overheat.
Same with pixel 7
The beta is consuming a lot of your battery. I went back to 13 and am impressed with battery life
Maybe, but 14 beta 4 has been great on the battery ...so far
What bugs are in android 14 beta?
Beta 3.1 is very stable but for me the share sheet doesn't work and that's the only complaint I have so far
Pixel 7pro keeps my hands warm 🔥
Great for winter
This would be a killer if it had Qualcomm chip🔥🔥🔥
Nope, the Pixel 7 Pro is not perfect and I have had it since day one. But Google creating its own chip is the way forward in the long run. Qualcomm every year are telling everyone how great their new chip is. People really believe that a phone coming out with last year's Qualcomm chip is a failure because it doesn't have the new one yet the difference isn't mind-blowing between them. In some ways, I believe that phone and chip makers would be better off moving to a 2-year cycle as the changes would be more meaningful. of course, they won't do it as it would affect the whole industry including reviewers what would they keep talking about and reviewing for a year. It's more profitable for everyone just to put a + symbol at the end of everything leading people to believe that somehow it's miles better than the last year. only to find out that people are still doing the same things on their phones that they always do. Apple the industry leader in certain areas has been just coasting along for years and has dropped the + symbol and Samsung has become the Apple of Android just happy to dial it in and coast. if they moved to every 2 years the whole industry would have to work harder and be more original to get people's money including Qualcomm who at this point if they were honest just need to put a + symbol on their chips. For now, I am prepared to give Google a little bit of a pass as it has only been 2 years nearly since Pixel 6. But I would be lying that I don't expect to see real improvements with the Tensor 3 & 4 especially in the area of battery and video.
The standby battery life on my Pixel 7 Pro is really bad . Very pleased with the photos it takes though.
Trying to gauge if I should switch from iPhone to Android. Pixels seem the obvious choice as their philosophy is the closest to Apple's and they don't have as much bloat. Would love to get the 7 pro. But why in the world does my iPhone 11 still have better battery life than a new Pixel 7 Pro, even with only 70% of the battery capacity and over 3 years of use? So frustrating, would happily trade some of the nifty features for better efficiency.
Yes, Indeed....Love +- Hate I have the Pixel 6 and it overheats. Do I buy a Pixel 7 Pro to avoid this? But seems still present! 🙄
Please add sections to your video
Very accurate review. Everything is true! I still can't believe how awful the battery life is..
STILL USING PIXEL 3 & PIXELS WERE MY FAVORITE TILL 4XL A HIGHEND FLAGSHIP PROCESSOR
Lets hope the Pixel 8 fixes many of the issues.
i used a samsung for the last decade and thought id make a change. i wanted a decent camera for pics and vid and watched many comparison reviews for the apple, samsung and pixel. value for money i grabbed the pixel 7 pro for about AUD$900 which was almost half that of its competitors. the camera has not disappointed but the phone is a piece of crap. im going to get rid of it as soon as i use it for filming a holiday coming up. i thought initially it was user error stuff or settings requiring tweaking or even an adjustment period after having had a samsung for so long, but no, it is terrible! slow, glitchy as anything, battery life is shocking, lacks intuition and some aspects make it frustratingly unusable. even basic functions like phone calls, txts or messenger updates constantly fail or arrive minutes, sometimes hours later.
I tried really hard to like the pixel lineup but they disappoint me the most. The battery life is average. The charging speed is slower than most flagship. And connectivity is really bad. My data connectivity and Wi-Fi go in and out all the time and my Bluetooth loses connection from time to time. The antenna is weaker than the other phones. I need a phone that has a consistent connection.
Ai love pixels but the tensor chips is keeping it down
Thanks for the 8-month later review, while the intro reviews pretty much all praise this phone. I'm about ready for a new upgraded phone, I was interested in what folks thought of it a year later, when one has time to find faults. The heating issue is annoying, I assume google thought they could fix this with software vs. changing hardware?
It can only be fixed with the hardware in my opinion, they tried many times but it's not helping
I hope Google will put a snapdragon in 8 series 😢
