Google Pixel 7 Pro Long Term Review after using it as my daily driver for the past 8 months, from October 2022 to July 2023 & how it competes with the iPhone...

I do agree with In Depth Tech Reviews’ overall sentiment as a pixel 7 pro user. Personally, I have different gripes for it.

      I loved my 3a and upgraded to the 6a last year, but it feels like a step backwards. The camera doesn’t seem anywhere near as good? It’s so heavy and clunky. No headphone jack. It’s a bit faster maybe but the battery isn’t as good as the 3a was when new and it overheats all the time.

      I considered buying the P3 or P4 because they’re said to have the best cameras and battery performance, but the end of security updates after 2022 and 2023 respectively turned me off and I got a P6A instead. What are you going to do with your P4A after the support for it ends this year?

    The Pixel 7 is literally one of the worst phone I’ve ever used. Very much like you said: HORRIBLE battery life AND front camera. Volcanic hot SOC and non-working biometric and buggy software made the battery even worse than it already was out of box.

    I also purchased the S23U like you because it was so off-putting using that shitty Pixel - and it’s an infinitely better phone, in every aspects.

      I did this with the S21+ to the Pixel 7, and currently on a S23+ if that tells you anything. I’m not even a huge fan of what Samsung does, but the hardware works.

      The Pixel 7 had such a great software experience when it worked, but the dropped calls and losing signal in areas where I previously had signal, was enough to get me to quit. Sadly, the rumors have the Pixel 8 using the same modem so I doubt it will be a better experience.

    I just want the 7a with two micro SD slots. And not some crippled 1st gen spec slots. All the big phone makers just want to sell their crappy built in storage at a huge premium. Even with the larger storage size of the pro I could still easily fill it up with a lot of stuff but I hate transferring via usb cable when I could eject the card, fill it with music or movies or whatever, and still take the phone with me while I leave it to transfer.
