Having used the Pixel 6 Pro extensively, our hopes were high for the camera experience on the Pixel 7 series, and we weren't disappointed. Dynamic range is again a particular highlight, and while base image quality doesn't feel like it's taken any major steps forward, it was already very good to begin with.

Some of the Pixel 7's (and 7 Pro's) most exciting new features aren't actually available at launch, but rather than causing new Pixel owners to raise pitchforks over promised features that aren't available at launch, Google has cleverly reframed such additions not as delays but 'feature drops', which the company issues multiple times throughout the year as a way to demonstrate its commitment to the Pixel line. Photography has always been the name of the game for previous Google phones and the Pixel 7 is no different. However, it’s a little odd that the hardware hasn’t really changed this year, with the 50MP, f/1.9 main camera returning alongside the 12MP, f/2.2 ultrawide sensor.

The 4,355mAh battery in the Google Pixel 7 may sound large, but we wish it was bigger, especially as it's technically a capacity reduction compared to the 4,614mAh battery inside its predecessor. That said, Google claims that the Pixel 7 can go for 24 hours on a full charge with normal usage, and in practice we found that to be the case – we ended most days at around 15%, with usage including streaming, gaming (30 minutes of Apex Legends with Ultra HD graphics settings sapped 10% charge), and extended TikTok sessions. Perhaps the weakest aspect of the Pixel 7's battery performance isn't longevity but recharging, as the phone only has the same 21W top speed of its predecessor. The Google Pixel 7 is rated at a maximum charging speed of 30W and, in my testing, I found it went from zero to 50% in just over 30 minutes. It also supports 20W wireless charging via any Qi-compatible charger and it can reverse power share with other devices such as the Google Pixel Buds Pro. It can’t charge the new Pixel Watch, though, since that devices doesn’t support wireless charging. Google Pixel 7 review: Display Swiping around Android felt flawlessly fluid, and when it came to gaming, thanks to the promise of graphical improvements, and even when cranking up the fidelity settings in titles like Genshin Impact and Apex Legends, the Pixel 7 hovered around 60fps (frames per second) without complaint. Don't expect this to serve as a rival to the best gaming phones out there, but know that it won't let you down if you do want to use it to take on your friends in Call of Duty Mobile. The Pixel 6 was an ambitious reimaging of what the Pixel line should be and what it was capable of, with the first of Google's own AI-savvy chipsets in Tensor and a killer camera. With the more incremental changes leading to the Pixel 7, the 6 still plenty to offer.

Gã khổng lồ công nghệ tìm kiếm đã được cáp bằng sáng chế cho công nghệ camera dưới màn hình vào tháng 8 năm 2021. Nhiều suy đoán cho rằng, tính năng mới sẽ xuất hiện trên dòng Pixel 7. Điều này có nghĩa flagship kế nhiệm Google Pixel 6 có thể trở thành một trong những thiết bị tiếp theo sở hữu camera selfie ẩn dưới màn hình. The biggest shortcomings are most notable in areas where this phone, by design, trails behind the Pixel 7 Pro, with its slower 90Hz peak refresh rate display (versus 120Hz on the Pro) and the absence of a dedicated telephoto camera chief among them. thoại Google Pixel 7 dự kiến sẽ được ra mắt vào tháng 9 hoặc tháng 10 năm 2022. Hiện tại ngày ra mắt chính xác vẫn chưa được tiết lộ. Giá bán của Google Pixel 7 series có tương đương với dòng Google Pixel 6. Theo đó, mẫu tiêu chuẩn có mức giá khởi điểm là 599 USD, trong khi Google Pixel 6 Pro có mức giá bắt đầu là 899 USD. Powered by Google Tensor: Designed by Google just for Pixel, the Google Tensor chip makes Pixel fast, smart and secure.Mặt khác, phiên bản cao cấp hơn - Google Pixel 7 Pro sẽ có kích thước là163 x 76,6 x 8,7mm. Nếu như biến thể tiêu chuẩn đi kèm với màn hình OLED 6,2 - 6,4 inch thì mô hình Pro có thể sở hữu màn hình 6,7 hoặc 6,8 inch. Cả hai điện thoại sẽ sử dụng các cạnh cong tràn mang đến không gian hiển thị rộng rãi hơn. On the plus side, multiple color profiles, Night Light (to reduce eye strain) and basic always-on functionality are welcome inclusions, as is the optical in-display fingerprint sensor, which at this (admittedly early) stage hasn't proven as problematic as the previous model's was at launch, even if it isn't as snappy as Samsung's ultrasonic alternative, for example. The company did mention that all cameras can now record at up to 4K resolution at 60fps, and this makes a huge difference to video quality, especially if you often record using the selfie camera. A new feature called Dual allows you to record video on both the front and rear cameras simultaneously, too. The company could have at least opted for an adaptive refresh rate panel for greater power efficiency, as you'll find on the Pixel 7 Pro, which can scale from its peak 120Hz right down to 10Hz when needed. Speaking of glass, there’s a protective layer of Gorilla Glass Victus on the front of the phone, which offers an extra degree of protection against drops and scrapes and the Pixel 7 is also IP68-rated against dust and water ingress.

In testing with a generic 27W PD charger, the Pixel 7 reached 47% in 30 minutes, 80% in an hour and 100% in just under one hour 40 minutes. As for colour performance, there’s practically nothing at fault here. With the phone’s ‘Natural’ display setting engaged, colours look as good as can be with a measured Delta E (colour accuracy) average of 0.81 when tested against sRGB. The entire colour palette is displayed as it should be but, if boosted colour saturation is more to your taste, then you might find a little more joy with the “Saturated” display setting.The bezels have also shrunk, compared to last year's model (though there's still a 'chin'), but even with the subtly-rounded edges of the Gorilla Glass Victus-protected screen, the phone still appears a little bulkier than its screen size would suggest. Despite being the smaller model of this year's duo, it sports the same display size as found on the 'XL' Pixels of old, like the Google Pixel 4 XL. s Pixel 6 range marked a notable shift in the series for a number of reasons, and chief among them was the phones' design. Google says the ultrawide pictures on the selfie camera are “improved” but doesn’t really go into much detail about what that means and in my tests the 10.8MP images looked the same as they did last year.

Running the Geekbench 5 CPU multi-core test, the Pixel 7 scored 3,309 to the Pixel 6’s 2,843: a generational improvement of around 16%. This score puts it within reaching distance of the Galaxy S22’s Exynos 2200 but the Pixel is still a long way behind the year-old A15 Bionic inside this year’s iPhone 14. The single-core result, meanwhile, is practically identical to the previous version. That said, based on everything Google has told the world about Tensor G2, along with what we learned from testing the original Tensor chip inside the Pixel 6 series, and details that surfaced ahead of the Pixel 7's arrival, it doesn't have the raw power to match phones powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, such as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. However, the difference isn't likely to be all that significant in real-world use. One thing for certain is that the Pixel 7 already has the iPhone 14 beat when it comes to internal upgrades. Where the iPhone 14 uses the same A15 Bionic chipset as the previous model, the Pixel 7 is powered by the new Tensor G2, the natural successor to last year’s first-gen Google Tensor chip.The arrival of the Google Pixel 7 was no surprise but now that it’s finally here you might question what’s new. Much like the fresh-off-the-line Apple iPhone 14, the Pixel 7’s headline changes are perhaps better categorised as iterative rather than revolutionary. All in all, while it may not have the raw horsepower of an iPhone 14 Pro, the Pixel 7 can hold its own, especially where AI tasks are concerned. What's more, the Pixel 7 lets you do more with your shots compared to last year's Pixels. The already-superb low-light shooting mode (which Google brands as Night Sight) is now faster in operation, and thanks to some smart algorithmic work the Face Unblur feature has been expanded to full Photo Unblur (even photos that weren't taken on the Pixel 7 can benefit from this feature), which, although not perfect, is the best on-device example of such a tool we've seen, making an otherwise challenging photo edit as easy as dragging an on-screen slider.
