Google Pixel 7 Pro

With a phone this stunning, you'll want to protect it from life's little mishaps. There are already some excellent cases available for Google's latest flagship, ...

It's wireless charging compatible, too, so you won't have to wrestle it off to juice up your Pixel 7 Pro. The case's back panel boasts a brushed matte finish with hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings to minimize fingerprints and repel stains, while silicone ridges on the sides add grip. A built-in textured TPU grip keeps your phone in hand, while raised bezels around the screen and camera protect your Pixel 7 Pro's screen and camera lenses should you drop it. It's compatible with wireless charging and most screen protectors and comes in a choice of four two-tone colors. True, the rugged design might not be to all tastes — and it only comes in black — but for the price, it offers just about the best drop protection around. No list of the best cases is complete without some added sparkle, and our pick is this clear case from Incipio. What packs in up to 20 feet of drop protection in a multilayered TPU and PC shell, with an in-built screen protector, all for under $30?

Made with over 30% recycled plastics, this case is an eco-friendly choice that also looks slick thanks to the metallic finish on the Google logo and side buttons.

Testing reveals power draw is about twice the wattage of similar displays at certain brightness levels.

The Samsung phone only draws more than 4W at a brightness of more than 1100 nits, which is considerably brighter than the Pixel 7 Pro at 600 nits. We can corroborate these findings with a Pixel 7 Pro of our own, which exhibits the same high power draw found by XDA. The Pixel 6 Pro hits 4W of power consumption at 800 nits, which is still brighter than the Pixel 7 Pro. [XDA ran a number of tests](https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-7-pro-display-problem/) on the Pixel 7 Pro in order to find out how efficient it is, corroborated by Android Police. A display test then revealed that the Pixel 7 Pro draws about 3.5 to 4W at full regular brightness (about 600 nits), depending on which other components of the phone are active at the same time. [Google Pixel 7](https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-7-review/) and 7 Pro are now available for purchase and our reviews are live to give you an impression of what you can expect.

Google has boosted trade-in values for Apple iPhone models for buyers interested in moving over to the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro.

- iPhone 6: $100.01 Notably, Google is offering more than retail for the iPhone SE (3rd Gen). - iPhone 8: $290 - iPhone 11: $500 Pixel values are also the same as during the pre-order period. The top-end 1TB model, meanwhile, is worth $1,055.

The Google Pixel 7 Pro is a strong value proposition compared to other big smartphone releases in 2022. Here's our full review.

The Pixel 7 Pro costs £849 / €899 – making this far more affordable than the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max in Europe. You’re after a smaller phone: The Pixel 7 Pro is big – even more so than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This is a refined Pixel 6 Pro, with a design that’s comfier to grip and a more capable chipset. There’s very little to get excited about with the battery life and endurance of the Pixel 7 Pro. There’s support for chargers up to 30w, though a full charge took me 80-90 minutes and of course there’s no charger in the box. Of course, no one buys a phone purely for its HDR reproduction and the Pixel 7 Pro still does an admirable job. This doesn’t just work with new photos snapped on the Pixel either, and I used it to improve a number of older photos I have previously scanned into my Google Photos library from physical photos. It’s a lot quicker at shooting good photos at night, and while I often preferred the iPhone 14 Pro’s results, the Pixel is a little more reliable if you don’t have time to set up your shots. As my colleague Peter Phelps noted in his Pixel 7 review, the Camera Bar is a shelf for dust and debris. Google made a bold change with its Pixel 6 series, ditching the fairly non-descript designs of the series past and replacing them with something a whole lot more fun and interesting. The Google Pixel 7 Pro is a strong value proposition compared to other big smartphone releases in 2022. The Pixel 7 Pro continues that theme.

For most people, these files will mean nothing. They are there in case you get to tinkering too much, break something on your phone, and then need files to ...

There are three different builds of Android 13 for the new Pixel 7 phones. Google typically tries to post these files when their new phones arrive to show the most recent builds that they should be running. The first OTA files are also there, should you need them.

This special launch bundle bags you a free Google Pixel Watch with the new Google Pixel 7 Pro.

The Pixel 7 Pro upgrades the zoom and ultra-wide cameras while introducing Google's Tensor G2 power.

With a 26mm wide-angle and matched with Google’s smart camera software, the main camera is identical to those of the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 7, and 7 Pro. Powered by a Tensor G2 chipset, Google's second generation of proprietary silicon, if our week with the Pixel 7 is anything to go by, the 7 Pro should be powerful enough for most, but not hardcore gamers thinking about a gaming phone.

At 6.7 inches, the Pixel 7 Pro's screen is large – similar in size to the Oppo Find X5 Pro and OnePlus 10 Pro. The Honor Magic 4 Pro is the only one of the three with a camera mix that can rival Google's Pixel 7 Pro – more specifically, adding a periscope zoom to the mix. Loaded up with OIS, PDAF, and an f/3.5 aperture, it'll be interesting to see how the 7 Pro performs. The 7 Pro's also got competition from its predecessor, the Pixel 6 Pro which costs even less, and is also excellent. There's nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to the 7 Pro's buttons and ports – a USB-C port at the base alongside a loudspeaker. One good thing Google does across all its recent launches, from the Pixel 6a through to the 7 Pro, is offer IP68 water resistance, so it's still hardier than some of the competition. Just like the Pixel 6 series, the On first impression, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is like that popular kid in school who's effortlessly fun, and athletic, and still gets straight As.

At 600 nits, all four of our Google Pixel 7 Pro devices are topping out between 3.5W and 4W. It gets even worse though: with maximum brightness (the Google ...

In the table below, you can see how the Google Pixel 7 Pro stacks up against the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus and the Google Pixel 6 Pro. To contextualize the problem, the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s Tensor G2 likely has a TDP of around 10-12W. However, I’ve verified that I have the same problem and the display is staying on for roughly a second after I turn off the screen. I have noticed the same problem on my unit as well, and it was only when I saw this Tweet did I realise that it was the cause. Dylan pointed out to me that if you were to extend his Google Pixel 6 Pro display power consumption graph in the same direction that it was already going, you would basically cross over the same values that we’re experiencing on the Google Pixel 7 Pro. Dylan noted that the power values I collected for using the display at its lowest brightness are still on the high side, with it draining roughly 0.7W. Google Pixel 7 Pro I spoke to Ben Sin, Daniel Bader, and Manuel Vonau of Android Police — three people who have Google Pixel 7 Pro units that are sourced from PR in different regions of the world. This is indicative of a larger problem that Google has had in the past with its panels, and the Google Pixel 7 Pro appears to have only made the situation worse. It gets even worse though: with maximum brightness (the Google Pixel 7 Pro is rated up to 1500 nits, and I triggered high-brightness mode), its power consumption shoots up to 6W. [Google Pixel 7 series](https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-7-pro/) was released recently, and we’ve been spending a lot of time with both the Pro and the non-Pro. The problem is that the power draw seems really disproportionate.

Since the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro were announced back in May, folks have been eager to get their hands on the new flagship phones.

Patrick (he/him) is a Deals and Commerce Writer at Android Central. The Pixel 7 series might be affordable for a flagship, but it never hurts to be prepared! Make your purchase before October 23rd and Amazon will throw in a free $200 gift card, which is plenty of cash to spend on a quality case or Pixel Watch.

Well, for starters, the phones take all of the things that impressed us about the Google Pixel 6 series (and there was a lot) and improves upon them for the same reasonable price. I'm talking about an always-on 90Hz display (120Hz for the Pro), up to 72 hours of battery life, and the most intelligent Pixel camera software yet.

Google today launched its new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones, and the Pixel Watch too. Delve into what's new with these Android devices, and the best ...

You get a peak brightness of 1,400 nits from the Pixel 7 and 1,500 nits from the Pixel 7 Pro, both high enough to see screens in sunlight. Both Pixels have 50-megapixel wide and 12-megapixel ultra-wide cameras; the Pixel 7 Pro adds a 48-megapixel telephoto camera. Read on to find the best Pixel 7 deals, plus everything else that’s new with the Pixel 7 phones. In terms of differences, aside from a bigger display and a 48-megapixel telephoto sensor on the Pixel 7 Pro, the Pro model increases the system memory to 12GB of RAM, up from the base model’s 8GB. The two models also share the same core guts: Both also use the new Pixel Tensor G2 processor and the new Titan M2 security chip which power many of the new features in the Pixel 7 series. They're more alike than they are different, with Android 13's arrival and a trio of colors to choose from (the Pixel 7 comes in Obsidian, Snow and Lemongrass; the Pixel 7 Pro comes in Obsidian, Snow and Hazel) among the similarities.

With the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro launching today, Google has published the Android 13 factory images for customers that have already received...

However, the Google Play system update — which switched back to the old UI a few weeks ago — remains on July 1, 2022, thus prompting a Security Hub warning. Google says it is “typically easier and safer to sideload the full OTA image instead,” which is also available today.

The Google Pixel 7 series of smartphones only support 64-bit apps, though that's not a bad thing. Find out what that means for you.

This certainly lends credence to the claim that the [Google Pixel tablet may come with a 64-bit only build of Android 13](https://www.xda-developers.com/pixel-tablet-64-bit-only-android-13/), though.

What does this mean, and does it have any benefits? [Google Pixel 7 series launch](https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-7-hands-on/), there’s been a lot happening. You’ll be hard-pressed to find apps that don’t have any 64-bit libraries, and so far, Flappy Bird seems to be the most high-profile. All apps on the Google Play Store have [had to have 64-bit support since August 2019](https://www.xda-developers.com/google-play-stop-serving-native-apps-without-64-bit-cpu-support/), and the company [stopped serving 32-bit apps that don’t have any 64-bit support last year](https://www.xda-developers.com/google-play-stop-serving-native-apps-without-64-bit-cpu-support/). “arm64-v8a” support is listed, but It’s not as if Tensor G2 doesn’t support it either — its three different cores all support AArch32 execution. What this means is that for any apps that don’t have 64-bit libraries, you won’t be able to install them. The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are the first Android phones to only support 64-bit apps

Google's $599 Pixel 7 Android phone not only undercuts the iPhone 14 by $200, but has a larger display, superior cameras, and a SIM card slot.

Of course, the elephant in the room is how well the Pixel 7 holds up long term. At least at launch, the Pixel 7 is an excellent value. From the unibody aluminum frame that now connects to the camera bar to the performance, cameras, and battery life, Google really knocked it out of the park with the Pixel 7. Not that the Pixel 6 didn't have a bright screen, but the display on the Pixel 7 is brighter. Unsurprisingly, the Pixel 7 is very good at processing HDR photos. It's $200 less for the same 128GB storage, and you get a larger screen. What may surprise you is that this has been a documented thing since at least the Pixel 4. In fairness, Google did add a Face Unlock feature to the selfie camera. In challenging lighting (mostly indoors around LED lights), the Pixel 7 camera always processes photos with a bluer white balance. Google's Tensor G2 chip inside of the Pixel 7 is faster at processing images with more accurate color and greater details; Night Sight doesn't require you to hold the phone as long. Google kicked off the age of computational photography with the Pixel 2, but again the build quality lacked. The scrolling responsiveness is noticeable when you compare it to phones that are still saddled with 60Hz refresh rates (looking at you

New test results reveal Google's Pixel 7 Pro to have the joint No.1 performing smartphone camera, ahead of Apple's latest iPhone 14 Pro. Here's how it wins.

It also achieves the top score in Dxomark’s Bokeh and Preview tests, beating the Pixel 7 Pro by quite some margin. The Pixel 7 Pro was also credited for its “top quality” zoom, which delivered better quality images than the iPhone 14 Pro and over a wider zoom range. However, if video is your thing, you might be much better served by the iPhone 14 Pro — don’t worry about it coming in a single point behind the Pixel. There are, however, several areas where the iPhone 14 Pro still comes out on top. In comparing the new Pixel to the iPhone 14 Pro, Dxomark awarded Google’s flagship a higher score in the new “ In the report, the Pixel 7 Pro is praised for its “consistent and balanced camera experience all around” and for delivering significant improvements over its predecessor, the Pixel 6 Pro, especially in terms of

Many Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro lineup users are facing a 'Camera app not working, app stopping or crashing' issue, but here's how to fix it.

Fortunately, there is an easy fix for the Pixel 7 lineup camera crashing bug. I just received my Pixel 7 Pro today. Affected users are unable to use the Camera app due to the constant crashing or freezing issue. That said, some early users are encountering a performance issue in the Camera app. Both come with multiple improvements in various sections and with a very competitive price in its segment.

And you're not going to run into any problems downloading apps off the Play Store, as Google won't even show you 32-bit options. That makes the decision to block 32-bit apps feel all the more political — or maybe going full 64-bit-only was the original plan, but not all code could be updated in time for the hardware's release. Could we be [sitting around until Android 14](https://www.androidpolice.com/android-14-64-bit-only-av-1/) to make the switch? Well, hopefully very little, as mainstream apps have by and large gotten on the 64-bit boat a long time ago.

The new Pixel 7 has improved camera AI and a fresh design. Ahead of our official review, here's a quick hands-on take of what's in store.

For the latter, like a lot of Google’s call-related AI, Direct Call is only available in the US. In terms of performance, the phone is smooth and handles heavy tasks well—particularly in new camera features like Cinematic Blur, which creates a depth of field effect for videos. In every scenario—portraits, skylines and objects—the results are outstanding. I want all of the features and none of the FOMO. Google has added its new in-house Tensor G2 processor, which powers some of the AI and image processing features the Pixel line is known for. With a glass back, aluminum frame and the matte aluminum camera bar, the standard model doesn’t feel like the cheaper option.
