Same superb photography skills we expect from Pixel phones; Build is slicker than last year’s effort; No price increase for 2022;

90Hz refresh rate limit feels arbitrary; Plays second fiddle to Pixel 7 Pro;

Good value for money; Excellent cameras; Nice screen; Easy to use software;

Slow charging speeds; Face Unlock is basic;

The Pixel 7 remains a charming and impressive all-rounder with a particularly impressive camera system, especially now that it’s cheaper in the wake of the Pixel 8 release.

Great camera, Good screen, Stylish design

Few upgrades from the Pixel 6, No telephoto camera, Slow charging

Powerful droid The smaller of the Google Pixel 7 series models possesses not only a more compact form factor than the Pro model but also has to make do with a few compromises on the technical front. What they are and whether they are noticeable in everyday use, find out in our review.

Bright and accurate 90Hz display, Snappy system speed, Long-term update support, IP68 certification, USB 3.2 (2nd gen)

USB-C doesn't support video output, Still no 6 GHz Wi-Fi, Throttling under load

The Google Pixel 7 doesn't cost an eye-watering amount of money but manages to deliver in plenty of ways. Just like the phones that came before it, the focus is on the software and camera system, but this time things have been taken up a notch with a fresh design and the new Tensor G2 chipset.

FHD+ screen, 90Hz, Google Tensor G2 chip, Packs an extensive array of features, Runs on pure Android

Underwhelming battery life, slow charging, No telephoto camera, Doesn't come with a charger in the box

The Pixel gets a lot right, but it’s not the last word in picture and sound performance Quality build Smooth user experience 90Hz display Picture could be sharper Thin speaker sound Sound through Bluetooth lacks dynamics

At a price of 599 bucks (the same price as last year’s Pixel 6), I do think that the Pixel 7 is a great Android phone especially given the relatively low cost, which makes it considerably more affordable than competing flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S22, the iPhone 14, and even the OnePlus 10...

Solid Design and Display, Improved Biometrics are much welcome, Camera Remains Consistently Great, No Price Increase

Tensor G2 isn’t a massive performance upgrade

The Google Pixel 7 boasts an excellent camera and Google-focused software experience, plus a range of excellent smart features.

Great camera, Inexpensive, Good performance, Solid battery life

Still some software bugs
