The Pixel 7 Pro is the perfect pairing of Google software and hardware, but there's no major improvements over last year's model.

The Pixel 7 Pro builds on the success of last year’s model, with meaningful upgrades to its camera that put it on a level with the most capable and expensive models from Samsung. It is a well-made phone with a great screen, good performance and reasonable battery life.

Pros: class-leading camera, 5 and 10x optical zoom, good screen, good performance, solid battery life, recycled aluminium, five years of security updates, Android 13, impressive local and photo AI features, undercuts rivals on price.

Cons: face unlock option not as secure as some rivals, no big bump in general processor performance, battery life short of best-in-class, fairly slow charging.

Google promises all-day battery life with the new Pixel phones, and that's fair, though you likely won't get much more than that. The Pixel 7 Pro keeps the same 5000mAh battery as last year's phones, but the Pixel 7 has shrunk slightly to 4355mAh.

The Google Pixel 7 Pro offers an excellent camera with great zoom features, good performance, and more. It’s also cheaper than much of the competition. The Google Pixel 7 Pro offers an excellent camera with great zoom features, good performance, and more.
