The Pixel 7 Pro sees Google iterate on the big reinvention of 6 Pro by improving battery life, display, and the cameras. The 7 Pro is the best Pixel yet and a real ‘kitchen sink’ device – it’s big and heavy and the design might not be for you, but it delivers with an amazing Android experience.
If you don’t like iOS and don’t need the S22 Ultra’s S-Pen then the Pixel 7 Pro is the best phone choice going, and it’s cheaper than the two phones above it in this list. It takes incredible still shots that are among the best and most consistent of any phone, with Google’s superior software processing making this one of the most satisfying point and shoot cameras you can keep in your pocket.
There’a also tons of clever Pixel-only features like Magic Eraser to scrub out unwanted people and objects from photos, Live Transcribe for those hard of hearing, and a big bright display and nearly 2-day battery life to do it all on. Google promises five years of security updates but only three years of Android updates – Samsung and Apple beat Google on this front.
But the Pixel is the one to pick if you like your phone software customisable and playful. If you want a smaller phone, the Pixel 7 is also excellent but lacks the 5x telephoto lens found on the Pro.
