What do you think? I think it's a small issue with potential fix
It's a hardware issue since the Pixel 7 pro's display is still using the old LTPO 1.0 display instead of 2.0. Doubt software will be able to fix this.
Users shouldn't be worried if they don't use adaptive brightness outdoors (which cranks up the brightness to 1400 nits) for extensive period of time that heavily tank's the phone's battery life.
From my experience using the Pixel 6 adjusting the manual brightness slider to 100% is sufficient or "good enough" to see what's on the screen.
Is anyone interested in a Spigen Liquid Air case (Navy colour) for the regular Pixel 7?
I have a brand new one purchased from Amazon USA that arrived today/in hand. I decided to go with the Ringke Onyx case instead as it provides additional protection on the camera bar area.
P7 camera bar is matte right. So should be ok I guess? But yeah I also prefer ringke one due to more coverage to cameras bar
Both Pixel 7 and 7 Pro's camera bar is aluminum coated with paint.
Alumnium, as we know it is a relatively soft metal and scratches easily so covering it up with either a case or film will help prevent light or deep scratches over the period of ownership.
One caveat though - even though the case design may cover the entirety of the camera bar, sometimes debris/fine sand that gets trapped between the case and the camera bar may cause scratches.
Photo of the Pixel 7 pro and scratches on the camera bar posted by several owners from Reddit:
first thing I noticed compared to my previous p6pro.. the fingerprint scanner feel so much faster.. and the face unlock is awesome.. I tested it will detect your face in max 50cm, combining both method to unlock my phone, I hope no more get annoyed when phone fail to unlock
I'm using maxis.. the Volte I tested working out of the box.. sad that no more vowifi since I got used to it when using pixel6pro.. but it's fine.. maybe I'll skip root this time.. I can live with volte only
Congratulations on your receiving your phone! I just received my Pixel 7 aswell from Shiro aswell.
The first few things to do when setting up your new Pixel:
1) Preferred Network Type set to "LTE". Disable 5G 2) Disable Digital Wellbeing
The 2 above are the major battery draining culprits.
Since the Pixel 7 Pro/Pixel 7 also come with the default snore and cough detection working offline, it might be a good experiment to disable it aswell to save some idle battery life if the feature isn't something you find useful.
facing the same issue in indonesia. for my case i am on celcom. last year using P6 have the same issue whereby although data roaming and roaming plan purchased. cant get onto LTE at all.
last weekend , this round with p7 pro, another round of issue with roaming. really speechless.Â
please take note on this issue if you plan to use roaming.
I can relate to this frustration as i tried testing Maxis Hotlink Postpaid's 7 day data roaming package (RM50 for 7 days) using the *100# menu when i arrived in Incheon Airport (Seoul) last year and tinkered with my Pixel 7's APN settings & restarted it a few times but in the end, it failed to connect to the local SK Telecom network.
Having a local sim card in hand is more reliable any time.

I was wondering if anyone is willing to consider selling their Pixel 7 pro (preferably looking for a white/black 128GB US set under 6 months old) to trade for my 7 month used Pixel 7 128GB black US set. I'll top up the extra.
Do PM me. Thanks!

Nice to see the Google Pixel 8 launch announcement date officially revealed.
I will happily return back to using a regular one handed friendly 6 inch Pixel 8 since the awesome Pixel 5. The Pixel 8 pro simply doesn't make any sense with that gimmicky body temperature sensor at the rear.
Meantime i'll have to decide whether to either keep my Sony Xperia 1 V as a backup or sell it.
Regarding the leaks, it's disappointing how Google is using last year's Pixel 7's Samsung G1 camera sensor for the main ultrawide shooter which is contrary to the rumours that they will use the GN2 camera sensor that supports staggered HDR.
As for the processor, with the G3 performing similar to a Snapdragon Gen 8+ 1 processor with Samsung's 4nm fabrication, it will be interesting to see how it performs in terms of battery efficiency. The pixel 6 and 7 models are crippled by sub-par battery life owing to the garbage Samsung Exynos 5300 modem which has very poor cellular performance.
I will place a pre-order for the smaller Pixel 8 as 6.1 inch screen phones are easier to hold/use in hand compared to the gigantuous 6.7 inch pro model.
The Google Camera 9.1 APK file that enables pro control for the Pixel 8 Pro has been decompiled and should be compatible from Pixel 6 series to 7 without issues.
