Google Pixel 7 Pro Full Details :
Design
2022 has been a year where nearly every major smartphone company has shipped iterative successors to their previous flagship smartphones, choosing not to invest heavily in a fresh new take. The Galaxy S22, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, the OnePlus 10 Pro, and Apple’s entire iPhone 14 series — all of these devices have offered slight refinements on whatever shipped the year before. Google’s no different; at first glance, the Pixel 7 Pro looks nearly indistinguishable from the 6 Pro, with all of its improvements found in the finer details of the phone.
Display
Like last year, Google has stuck with rounded edges on the Pro model, with the display rolling around to meet the metal frame along the left and right sides. Many users found the curved display on the Pixel 6 Pro difficult to grasp, so the Pixel 7 Pro has reduced the degree to which the glass bends around the device. The result is a phone that is a little easier to hold in your hand than the previous generation, but it makes me wonder why Google didn’t go all the way here.
Performance, battery life, & charging speeds
All of those software enhancements are thanks to the power of Tensor G2, Google’s second-gen custom SoC that powers the Pixel 7 Pro. It’s no secret that the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro got off to a rocky start last year, thanks — at least in part — to the switch away from Qualcomm. With a year’s worth of experience under its belt, I’m hoping that the Tensor series is nothing but smooth sailing from here, though we’ll have to see how the next few months fare before making a concrete judgment.
Camera
As with any Pixel phone, the cameras are the real star of the show. I can’t imagine anyone will be too surprised to learn that the main 50MP sensor — which outputs a 12.5MP image — takes impressive shots. It’s the same 1/1.31” sensor Google used last year, and with some supplemental power from Tensor G2, it’s as good as ever.
