Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro review: better and better
Not Pixel perfect but largely improved
Google Pixel 7 review: The most refined Pixel yet
The Pixel 7 stays true to Google’s new design language
... I'm ready 
Google is offering 549 trade in for the 6 pro, Im wondering if I should do it....
MBKHD really liked the Pixel 7..
Pretty glowing review to me...

It is nice to hear that battery life has improved by a lot. That is welcomed news because it has been a sore spot with Pixel owners. I do agree with Marques that just like last year the Pixel 7 is the best deal. However if Google had used the same price structure as Apple does with the Pro and the Pro Max, would he say the same thing with a $100 price difference? I think he would then recommend the Pro.
I got the Pro just because of the bigger screen size and I have never owned a phone with a 120Hz display. As I approach my mid 60's, being able to actually see the screen takes top priority. I loved the size of the 4a but honestly it has become almost unusable because it's becoming harder to focus my eyes on the small screen, which is why I decided to trade it in for the 7 Pro.
I would because you are also getting $200 Google Store credit towards your next purchase before the cutoff date of Oct. 12th 2023. So you are basically getting $749 for your 6 Pro.
It tells me 100 credit, Best Buy is giving $200 but only 500 trade in and it is more expensive at bb
edit: nevermind the 599 was for there 7, Ill stick with my 6 pro damn can't believe I didn't notice that! I was like wow that is a good deal lol

The initial reviews look positive. I'm now tempted to trade in my Note 20 Ultra. I'm not sure of what to do.
Mines gone from 13-14 October delivery to 14-17 October.
Still not dispatched yet.
UK order of the 7 Pro.

The Watch reviews are surprisingly good. The only complaints I’ve seen so far are around the Fitbit integration and some of the data being locked behind a pay wall. Which I agree is total garbage. I know you get 6 months of the Fitbit premium sub for free, and I won’t be continuing it after that tbh.
There were also some concerns around how long the Fitbit app took to update with watch data. Sometimes taking over 24 hours. :O
Not great. I won’t be using the Watch for fitness purposes. I don’t need a watch to tell me if I’ve worked out.
I’m pleased to see that the phone reviews are very positive. Looks like google have delivered a decent release for a change.

I got my Pixel 7 Pro from Best Buy, says pick up Thursday Oct. 13th. But since people are getting them now, can we go today instead?
Just watched the Dave2D video and he’s confirmed that the regular 7’s haptics are now on par and feel as strong as the 7 Pro. So a massive improvement over the regular 6’s which were not amazing due to the positioning of the haptic motor.
Looks like the reg 7 is going to be a great buy this year.

That's great to hear, finally.
But still Google makes the Pro better for no reason, it clearly has a brighter screen than the Pixel 7, both are said to be much improved as far as nitts / brightness goes this year, but the 7 Pro seems much better.
I just wish Google would make the smaller Pixel with the exact same hardware as the Pro, and stop gimping it.
You and me both.
Next year my wish list is.
- No more ‘Pro’ and non Pro.
- 2 models, one bigger, one smaller.
- Exact same specs and cameras.
- Coloured power button to return.
- Matte glass back. No more gloss.
- FLAT DISPLAYS.
Keep the ‘A’ device as the cheaper, entry level and just have 1 flagship in two different sizes.
And we all know google will do the exact opposite of the above. 😛
I ordered the Obsidian color, my first black phone in years, have been getting all the white color Pixels since the Pixel 2 XL. But man looking at all the reviews with the Hazel color making me second guess my choice, but I hate gold or anything goldish color, so tacky and cheesy. I'd put a clear case on it, but man Hazel looks cool.
I suppose Best Buy would let me switch when I go in there tomorrow if I wanted? But I also want to go the stealth minimal look this time.

They won't release it till tomorrow...you will have to wait for the pick up is ready email or text
Oh wow I haven’t been so in sync with someone online in a long time, I agree with EVERY single point you made
Definitely matte everything I'm all for it ...already David mentioned in video he had scratches on camera visor..I feel the case or skin if y'all don't want to see scratches ...let's see FPS he mentioned seemed the same to him and face unlock not in a dark environment
