![]() ![]() ![]() In the Pixel 7’s case, the photo can look better than real life, due to the way it often deals with light and shadow. I adore that I don’t have to think twice about taking a picture, or worry that it’s going to be less impressive than what I’m seeing with my own eyes. ![]() Point it in any direction, in any lighting situation, and there is a very high probability it will take a photo you’ll love. The Pixel 7’s main camera is wonderful, producing sharp, vibrant, balanced, and visually punchy photos in almost every situation. On the front is a 10.8MP f/2.2 aperture selfie camera. Video reaches 4K resolution at up to 60 frames per second (fps) and it supports 10-bit HDR. There are two cameras on the back of the Pixel 7, a 50-megapixel f/1.9 aperture main camera (the same one found on the Pixel 6) with optical image stabilization (OIS) and laser autofocus, plus a 12MP f/2.2 wide-angle camera with a modest 114-degree field-of-view. It’s a shame as it’s the first thing you encounter after picking up the Pixel 7 and delighting in its excellent overall shape and design. ![]() Google must have heard the complaints about the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 6, and yet despite having a year to improve it without compromising on security, it’s still worse than almost every other phone available. If you don’t, you have to either swipe the screen (which doesn’t always work) or press the unlock button to enter the phone - adding more unnecessary steps to the often lengthy process of actually starting to use the Pixel 7. But remember to flick the switch to bypass the lock screen when it sees your face. Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsĪ face unlock system has been introduced, and it works more consistently than the fingerprint sensor. When it fails (which it will), you must use the PIN code, but the button layout is very widely spaced and almost impossible to press accurately when holding the phone with one hand. Google’s advice of pressing the sensor for a beat longer than you may expect does help it unlock more regularly, but it by no means cures the problems. It’s shockingly inconsistent, and no better than the previous version. There’s a fingerprint sensor under the display, and just like with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, it can’t decide whether it wants to be fast and reliable or slow and irritating. It’s not a massive problem, but once you notice it, you always notice it. Do the same on the top and the sides, and there’s a small lip that also varies in severity on either side of the device. At the bottom of the phone, the glass rear panel meets the chassis smoothly, with no obvious change when you run your finger over the join. There is one build quality thing that bothers me. It does like to slide around on different surfaces, and it needs a firm grip if you want to use it with one hand. The smooth aluminum chassis and glossy Gorilla Glass Victus rear panel may look lovely, but together they make the Pixel 7 quite slippery. The Pixel 8 may fix two of my biggest complaints about the Pixel 7Īt 8.7mm thick and 197 grams, it’s no skinny supermodel, and it feels very substantial in your hand, similar to the slightly shorter but similarly weighted iPhone 14 Pro. This Pixel Fold durability test is one of the worst I’ve seen I’m not so sure about the Pixel 7 Pro’s more outrageous camera module, but certainly the Pixel 7 is a modern-looking, subtly stylish, and suitably different-looking smartphone I’ve been proud to carry around.Įxcited for the Google Pixel 8 Pro? This leak just spoiled everything The camera cutouts are larger than before, but aren’t an eyesore. More colorful Lemongrass and Snow versions are also available. I’ve been using the standard Obsidian black version, and although I often find black phones a little bland, the glossy finish on the glass back looks superb when paired with the matte gray camera module. Rather than drastically rework the shape, Google has refined it, making the visor-like camera module even more of a standout design element while changing the available colors so it doesn’t look exactly the same as last year’s phone. It gives Google a cohesive, recognizable, and attractive smartphone platform on which to build. The Pixel 7 isn’t a design revolution compared to the Pixel 6, and that’s the best thing that could have happened.
