Google's very own smartphone reaches its seventh generation with the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. We find out which is best in this head-to-head comparison test.
The Google Pixel range is now seven years old, and while it may not steal the limelight quite as much as the latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, it has more than earned its place among the best smartphones around. This is especially the case with the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, both of which take everything that was great about previous Pixel generations and then add the new Google-made Tensor Generation 2, as well as a revamped design and a new Face Unlock feature.
Another design change for both models is that they each ditch the two-tone design on the glass rear. This is arguably a loss since the difference in shade offered by the Pixel 6 came off as stylish. Then again, one of the main functions of design changes isn’t necessarily to make a phone look objectively better but simply to signal that it belongs to the latest generation. Both the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro do this equally well, so they both receive equal points in this respect.
The Pixel 7 Pro also has an advantage in terms of internal memory. While both devices come with 128GB of storage as standard, there’s the option with the 7 Pro to spend some more in order to have it with 512GB. By contrast, the Pixel 7 can only go as high as 256GB, which may be significant for people who tend to take lots of photos and download plenty of apps.
As always, the basic camera performance on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro is outstanding, with both devices letting you simply point and photograph great shots. All of the features from the sixth generation return to both phones, including the Magic Eraser, Motion Mode, Photo and Face Unblur, Night Sight, Top Shot, and Portrait Mode. Of course, with the Pixel 7 Pro also boasting a highly capable telephoto lens, it also offers the useful Macro Focus mode, enabling you to take some nice closeups.
