Google Pixel 7 Pro Intro

One year after Google rebooted its smartphone effort, we have the sequel to bring it all back home. This is the Google Pixel 7 Pro, the company's new flagship phone, and while it looks similar to the Pixel 6 Pro, it brings a number of refinements to all and everything, from performance to the screen, camera and battery life. And good news is that it still comes at the same, lower-than-other-flagships price.

On paper, the Pixel 7 Pro seems to have it all: a big, 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a large, 5,000mAh battery inside, a top-tier camera, as well as Google's new Tensor G2 chip that highlights the powerful AI and machine learning capabilities that Google is known for.

But... should you buy it? Are the improvements really noticeable when you compare it against the previous model? And has Google fixed the few annoying bugs of the previous generation? Let's find out!

What’s new:

  • Improved cameras, longer zoom
  • Faster Tensor G2 chip
  • 5 years of security upgrades
  • 2X optical grade zoom
  • Cinematic Blur for videos
  • Macro Focus
  • Free VPN with Google One


Take a look at the Pixel 7 Pro specs that reveal all the major highlights:


The big feature here is the new Tensor G2 chip that powers the show, and also notice the longer-range 5X zoom lens (vs 4X on the previous generation).

But even more importantly for some, the starting price remains the same sweet $900, a few Benjamins less than the prices on Galaxies and iPhones. Nice!

Pixel 7 Pro Unboxing


The Pixel 7 Pro comes in a slim box, like most modern phones, and here is what's inside that box:

  • Pixel 7 Pro
  • Cable with USB-C connector on both ends
  • SIM tool
  • A Quick Switch adapter
  • Paperwork

There is no charger included in the box, which is kind of expected in 2022. There is also no pre-applied screen protector or a case in the box either.
