    Other companies will bring both hardware and software changes but Reviews will favour Apple’s Gimmicks. Pixel is the most helpful phone one can own.

      What hardware did they add apart from slightly changing the camera and cpu, exactly like Apple did..?

      October 6, 2022 at 9:55 pm

      @Nothing Apple subtract Physical SIM in US and didn’t add any hardware. Apart from Normal chip, camera and battery downgrade. Yes, I agree Applies making good on software by copying lots of Android in a good way

      So the addition of the satcom capabilities weren’t an addition? 😂😂

      October 6, 2022 at 10:06 pm

      @SD OMAR So, Apple made their back-glass removable so it will be easier and cheaper to repair, redid the whole camera system, upped from 12mp to 48mp and added photonic engine pipeline and also the obviously new dynamic island.

      They also upgraded to A16 Bionic when their chips were already far superior to everyone else.

      Other manfuacturers will definitely also switch to e-sim since it makes sense, they will all follow

      Those are more hardware changes than Google.

    Disappointed in pixel 7. Camera is the only difference. & If u don’t care much about that, then it’s the same more or less. In IND it’s at 735$ 👎🏻& pro is 1035$ 👎🏻

    Thank you for actually comparing the Pixel 6 to the Pixel 7 in terms of size.

    I just made that upgrade and I’m glad to see it’s noticeably smaller.

  4. OW

    October 6, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    Is the phone actually going to work this time or just have a bunch of bugs like the last iteration? The 6 Pro was possibly the worst phone I’ve owned in recent times

      Agree. Such a let down 🙁

    This is ridiculous and boring the whole review on phones now days is about the camera camera camera ughhhh

    Nothing new? 😂

  7. Doncic Lazae

    October 6, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    I don’t see many reasons to upgrade my 6 at all. I would love to see a 8 pro have a flat screen. The only reason I don’t get a pro phone is that dumb, no reason to have curvy display.

    Right apple is aways right never wrong yea ok

    They improved the cameras… Wow what a shocker.

    snow color looks super cool..

  11. V Guerrilla

    October 6, 2022 at 10:44 pm

    There have several major updates to this phone on the inside and from a software functionality perspective yet the title that these twinks at CNET put is “camera bar” 🤦‍♂️

    The pixel 6a does great 4k 60fps videos!

    It’s giving iPhone 14 pro dynamic duo

    A very nice looking pair. Can’t wait to get my hands on them.

    There’s is so many much new things in the software department, the new Ultra wide and 5x optical zoom lense, the cinematic video blur, 2x optical crop, improved zoom, improved video and stabilization, now allows to shoot 4k60 in all lenses and change between the lenses mid recording, the G2 processor, the pixel is now more secure, improved fingerprint sensor.

    This is a lot for to consider a must upgrade.

      I’m still on the Galaxy S20 and yeah these features all look great. That and of course the overall Pixel software experience (when there’s no bugs, unlike when the Pixel 6 launched). I’m seriously considering getting the new Pixel, only downside seems that you need to get the bigger phone to have the telephoto lens which sucks IMO. Will have to get them both in hand to decide if the Pro is too big or not. Also, based on the leaked benchmarks it seems the Tensor G2 is lagging behind the Snapdragon chip… anyway we’ll have to see the actual benchmarks once it releases.

    I’m so sick of big phones. Skipping Pixel again this year. Hoping they’ll go back to Pixel 8 and 8 XL, both with top specs, not missing cameras or screen frame rate.

    Very underwhelming 👎🏻

  20. White Shadow

    I like the finger scan on the back, so I’m gonna wait for new one and keep my pixel 5.

  21. AMCKEEL1

    October 7, 2022 at 12:06 am

    So wait. It’s a mild upgrade barely different from last years model? Just like iPhone? 😂😂😂

    I wish if they stick up with snapdragon chips, improvement by collaboration with both google soft and Qualcomm hardware, it’s really a bummer 😞

    Let’s just skip over the fact that Google continues to focus on increasing the quality of something as simple as phone call quality

  25. Zelo

    I’m curious if the battery life will be better on the 7 Pro. I have the 6 Pro currently and the battery life is pretty bad for a relatively new phone. Its been my main complaint on the phone since I got it and I would definitely consider getting the 7 Pro for this issue alone.

    • Dylan Noack

      October 7, 2022 at 3:37 am

      I’m curious how hard you run your phone. I haven’t plugged my phone in since 9am (13.5 hours ago) and I use my phone pretty regularly and even had a movie and youtube videos going periodically throughout the day. Pixel 6 still at 38%

    • Zelo

      October 7, 2022 at 3:47 am

      @Dylan Noack It depends on the day. During normal use (just checking text or social media) Id be at about the same battery life as you. But i’m speaking on when I’m at an all day event or something and I want to record or take pictures the phone literally will be dead or near dead within 4 hours. It gets super hot and drains wayyy to quick especially in comparison to my friend who has a Galaxy S22 Ultra using it just as much as me and still has more than half his battery.

    Face unlock – better battery life and no overheating would be awesome to have on pixels i buy from now on and or better speakers too would be great .

  28. Moncho Rosado

    October 7, 2022 at 3:11 am

    They where doing great now there going backwards from consumers perspective

  29. Switch Unboxing

    October 7, 2022 at 3:16 am

    Man I really don’t like the look of that camera bar! Last year it was looking futuristic. But this year it’s looking like an HTC from 2012.

  30. JiTengful

    October 7, 2022 at 3:51 am

    make the camera flat and add a bigger 🔋, thank me later goggle

    basically another over 1k phone with basically no changes, its time to add something in phones to be worth the price

    Not one of these early reviews talks ANYTHING about the CELLULAR PHONE part of the phone ! How is the reception, does it drop calls, is the call clarity any good, can people hear you clearly, does WiFi calling work well on the phone.
    Come on, we all know it has a Camera and all the specks that have been published ad nauseum…

    Test the camera ,please. Everything else is not important.

    October 7, 2022 at 9:21 am

    The Verge and CNET are uninspired, unoriginal organizations who have completely faltered with the advent of techtubers who have more original content. Both Hands-On videos from these two are ‘it’s barely different’.

  41. M C

    October 7, 2022 at 10:03 am

    I can’t decide which one to get. Should I get the white one or the black one? Help!

  42. Equinox 95

    October 7, 2022 at 10:17 am

    Are they gonna fix the bug issue that apparently plagued the 6?…..based on Nest and Stadia I’ll pass🙄

  43. Zuhdi Zuch DeLaNostra

    October 7, 2022 at 10:34 am

    Supposedly, the best photos are sharpness. Why are the photos not sharp enough? 🤔

  44. Dio

    October 7, 2022 at 1:32 pm

    Wish people would speak about the speakers more.

  45. Dee O.

    October 7, 2022 at 1:58 pm

    Imho and something that wasn’t mentioned, the addition of face unlock is a HUGE plus for the 7 over last year’s 6. Sole reason for my upgrade.. Thanks for a great video!

    I still have the pixel 5. Works fine 😂

    iPhones will always inspire envy. iOS users tend to possess classier aesthetic and value privacy/safety more than android users, in short they’re richer and more civilized (oversimplification I know).

    Funny how plain and simple truth is.
