I saw MKBHD’s review and the selfie cam seemed to really oversharpen there. It added textures that do not exist in the subject. I hope it’s just RUclips compression that made it seem that way.
@@d3vastat0r89 Gerald undone did a better comparison of the camera with the iPhone and a new Sony point-and-shoot camera. The pixel was good in some limited lighting conditions but overall it was very patchy... Hopefully they can update the software to make it better.
Yeah,i was surprised to see that footage that too from front camera. I still don't like the jittery movements happens on almost all Android phones while walking or running and in the favour of more brighter video they are sacrificing the quality and making the video noisy. Hope they give more competition to apple in video department too.

Absolutely Shakespearan reviews by the man. Well he's a complete package. Brilliant visuals and production value, best written lines that baritone and yes impeccable hair style. Whatta review.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your personal trip to Iceland as a part of the review here Michael! I have enjoyed my brief time with the new Pixel 7, and I don't miss the tele for my use case. But the P7 has me as happy as the Pixel 5 did and I loved that little phone.
After having an S22 ultra with the 10x Zoom lens idk I able to a phone without it I take so many pictures of my son playing or of animals that be impossible without it
The scripts you write for these videos and the way everything flows along so well and makes for such a coherent and pleasing experience makes is my favorite part of this channel. Awesome as always, MrMobile :)
I have been on a trip to Iceland last summer (2021) and I can't tell you how happy I am to see that you've been there too. Iceland is a place out of this world. From black beaches to huge blocks of ice on it. Rock formations that are inexplicably gorgeous. I hope you had the same experience I had when you visited it. I went with a friend of mine, who brought at the time top of the line GoPro Hero 10 and the footages were amazing. I wished I had a drone, but I got there with a OnePlus 7T Pro and a Panasonic Lumix G85. Photos and videos were good, but I have a huge pile of them that I still have to edit via professional software like Capture One or DaVinci. I wish I had a phone like the Pixel 7 Pro at the time. Everything would've been more immediate. Kudos to you for the review and your trip to Iceland!
I started following your personal RUclips channel immediately after you left Pocketnow and I'm so happy to see how far you've come. I played this review on my newly purchased TV and it felt like I was watching a documentary. Iceland seemed like a great time and thanks for bringing us along for another fantastic review.
Great video as always. I personally went from a OnePlus 8 pro to the Pixel 7 Pro because OnePlus' software has been going downhill a lot. I am really impressed by the Pixel 7 (pro) because it has so many nice small UI tweaks and attention to detail next to the absolutely solid performance and camera quality. Looking at the Pixel Stand now because of the exclusive features. Really happy with the phone so far.
I'm also with a OnePlus 8 Pro right now. What do you think of it in comparison with the Pixel 7? Is the fingerprint reader worse? How do the camera and screen compare?
The review I was waiting for is finally here :D Thank you sir. I personally would even love a few month follow up if you end up carrying this for a while.
I bought a P6 Pro and the call screening comes in handy. One thing I wish it had was call blocking by country and area code or partial numbers - which was on the LG G7
This was such a good review. I've joined the pixel line with the 6 Pro last year after always owning a Sony - starting with the Z into the smartphone space, then the Z3, XZ Premium and finally 1... But prices got too high for the software support they offer, so went with Pixel instead. Now, one year later, I've grabbed the pre order offer and got me 7 Pro with the Pixel Watch, traded in my 6 Pro so the price was just too damn hot. Owning the phone for three days now with the watch, which is my first ever btw, I can only completely agree with your words. Google offers such a unique and refined software experience with a rich set of features, just glad to be in now. Especially photography is just excellent, I've never shot this many pics before! EDIT: I've remembered sth that could have been mentioned - Google increased the support by one year with Android updates. Comes closer to Apple, which is great as software support has always been Apple's great strength.
@@furkanudmir550 I'm very pleased. So far, the phone just does everything a little bit better and more. Face Unlock is such a blessing e.g., furthermore the new camera system is fun and I like the improvements in design and haptics. All that and a Pixel Watch for free... Yeah, it was definitely worth it!
I love it when reviwers can have a story behind a review. Most just use it for a few weeks and talk about it. Other times, they can go on a vacation/trip and actually talk about the features they used. It's assuring to know that in the real world, it's a good/bad product and you can't always get that answer by using it at home. I always wait for the MrMobile review for anything before buying (along with watching others) and this might be enough to make me trade in my Pixel 5.
Seeing reviews like these while waiting until the 2nd for my 7 Pro make me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. (Best Buy is royally backed up with pre-orders for the 512 GB models) I'm glad to see both performance and the cameras have improved as well as the battery life.
I was eagerly waiting for your review. Fun fact, I always wait to watch your take on new products, it always feels like no other review is enough to give me a good grasp on them! Thanks and keep up the awesome and unique work!
Got the Pixel 7 and I'm very satistified so far (switched from a S20 FE), my only disapointement is the lack of the 5x telephoto, but in Canada the upgrade wasnt worth it price wise. The 2x binning of the 50MP is fine, but does not match the telephoto 3x I had on the Samsung. So glad i'm back in the Google Pixel universe thought, I missed it so much. (past phones : Nexus 5, 5X and Pixel 1) And as always sublime production quality and review Michael!
Glad you're happy with the Pixel 7. I currently own the S20 FE 5G (still love it) but its 3x telephoto lens often disappoints me (the results look more as if those photos were shot through a digital zoom, especially in low light conditions).
@@ou1814 I locked the phone to 90hz in the devloper settings, and used it hard today, im at 29% now after 14hrs. Im satisfied by that performance. I guess if you dial it back to auto Refresh rate, you can eek out 20-24hrs. But 1.5 day? not with my usage.
I've already ordered this phone (not yet delivered here in The Netherlands, Google's website claims between 24 and 28 oct) so I had already made up my mind to buy one. But man have I been waiting for your review, sure there's other reviewers who got there first, but yours is the only one that really matters to me. Going to watch it now, thanks again!
watching on my pixel 7 pro. so happy i waited for the 7 instead of getting the 6 last year. learning the lessons that 1st generation of models like the 6 has problems that can be fixed on the 2nd gen (pixel 7). now i wait for the 2nd gen pixel watch xD
Thanks for pointing out little stuff like the music squiggle and the video resolution indicator. So far, this is the best review I watched on the camera of this phone too. The highs and lows of it are clear, and I have felt like people are softer on the video this year, but it seems clear here that the choppiness, the focusing, and issues with zoom and camera switching hold this one back. Still a very strong contender and I'm glad it's better refined, I am considering this or one of the S23s for my next phone. I know I'd miss a lot of Samsung features, and I am not sure which would be better for battery and gaming (Pokemon GO, specifically), but there does seem to be a lot to like about the Pixel experience as well. Cheers. P.S. I really like the idea of referring to the non-pro version as the "amateur"
You are the best at what you do. I really appreciate you not just reading off specs from a spec sheet and rattling off benchmark scores. Your scripting is second to none
I was waiting for your review, they never disappoint. You don't worry about petty details and stay focused on the performance. Upgrading from Pixel 5 to the 7, the Pro was too big for my hands. My husband just ordered ours last night and we are excited. My husband is coming from Iphone 10. He has admired my Pixel for awhile and he is ready to switch. I can't wait to set his phone up.
Still hestitant after the Pixel 6 Pro (mine was frought with issues), but might get the next generation whenever my S22 Ultra is ready for retirement. Glad to see Google might have learned their lesson this time around.
The tumbnails have consistently been getting better and better each time, while retaining that mrmobile thumbnail style. Big thumbs up to the designer of those thumbnails.
The moment he said the Google phone has arrived, that was so satisfying that someone is addressing the Pixel in the house of Android. The pixels had been plagued by n number of bugs but the camera, that's where they get the ball in their court.
Man, I love your reviews! Your reviews just like the production values of your videos is meticulous and immaculate. The footage quality is so painstakingly compiled and edited. I hope you keep putting out videos like this for years to come.
@@ammarharith5512 dramatic enough that you can't use tempered glass screen protectors (except for the messy and overpriced whitestone dome and it's clones)
Sorry I couldn’t wait for your review before ordering the amateur version of the phone. After watching your review I’m glad I ordered it early. Thanks for mentioning the Pixel exclusive features that so many other reviewers skip or just don’t know about. As always, great work, excellent quality and writing and just a fun channel to subscribe to.
I want that call screening feature on my iPhone so bad! Been getting so many spam calls recently 🙁 Also, really feeling Google's Pixel series is becoming the new OnePlus. No complaints!
You can call screen on the iPhone (under settings/phone). But the approach Ioke is to have a different ring tone for anyone who's on my contact list (and a faster one for people designated as VIPs, and only those go to my watch). Means I don't even need to look at my phone to decide whether to take it or not.
Don't think that'll be a worthy upgrade, tensor g2 isn't that much of a difference over tensor one. Use your 6a till the 8 comes that'll be a real upgrade.
Been a Google Phone guy since the Galaxy Nexus first came out, only had the Nexus 6 and the Pixel 3XL for the last 12 years. I'm making the jump to the 7 Pro and could not be more excited! The Google Store in Germany even bundled it with the Pixel Watch for free! So at least I'll see how things run (had to get the buds as well for the ecosystem experience). Always look to your reviews for actual daily driver experience beyond the printed tech specs. And this review has assuaged any concerns I may have had! Hope you get to review the Pixel Watch!
I never seen anyone use Pixels before until the Pixel 6. Even for me, the Pixel 6 was the first Pixel I would consider buying. I held out and bought the Pixel 7.
Great video Michael. Pixel just becomes more and more appealing. This is such a brilliant alternative to an iPhone or Samsung phone. It's never been more compelling.
I've had a pixel 4a 5g for a year and a half now, the Nokia 6.1 before that. It's been absolutely great, the camera is awesome, and it's dependable. And I don't get spam calls. When this phone dies, I will likely get pixel again. But with the zoom camera. I've found that the ultra-wide angle is handy only sometimes for me, but I've found myself wishing for a good zoom lens more often. My dream would be a slightly smaller screen, about 5.5-5.8", but I know that won't happen
What a solid review as always, as a long time iPhone user your review of this phone raised my interest for this phone and I admit after watching it am almost ready to jump ship should this phone be available here in Iceland! Loved your photos, hope you had some nice weather here, winter has come though for now.
Got myself a regular 7 for shits and gigs, I have an s22 ultra for my main but I had an iPhone 12 mini laying around and Google's $500 offer for it was the best I was going to see without a carrier deal. I like it, it's a neat little phone, and while the s22 ultras screen is nicer and the camera is better for zoom, the regular pixel still makes amazing photos and has some neat features
I think once you factor in the additional cash incentives such as $200 direct from Google and Best Buy gift cards not to mention trade-in deals, the Pixel becomes a significant better value than the competition. In other countries I heard Google is tossing in Google's watch to further the deal.
About the extras: for example in my country (Germany ) you can get the Google Pixel Watch ( WiFi or LTE version) or the Google Pixel Buds Pro for free with the P7 Pro
I think the new design is actually quite nice. The eco system is no where near apple. But as a phone it is really great, unless Google mess up the updates for the pixel line
No better place on earth to test the camera! No better reviewer either! Keep up the great work, your efforts in all your videos are greatly appreciated! I think Google may have finally nailed it this year.
Not gonna lie, MrMobile has the best operational, functional reviews. He doesn’t just sit behind a desk and talk at you, the phone/device is on display in action doing everyday tasks. Keep up the great reviews man.
MrMobile doesn’t just do a review. He actually produces a full professional documentary each and every time without fail. Never disappoints either. Thanks Michael, you’re definitely the Boss. ❤
I know I'm from the old youtube generation when I think wtf are you talking about, 1.2m is an insane number but youtube has become so big. Ten years ago 10k subscribers was a lot lol
Iceland great spot to test the pixel 7, was there last September and was able to take great pictures with the predecessor on a round the Island trip... I had to miss out on the Aurora.
I just ordered a Pixel 7 (inJune 2023). My carrier in Canada is offering it at just $15/month for 2 years. $0 down. Hard to beat that. I'm upgrading from an old Samsung S10 so I hope to see a significant improvement in my photo quality.
Having had the phone since launch day, I must say it looks like Google crippled the camera. Whilst colour, speed and contrast all look great, the detail is far worse and more unnatural looking compared to my custom OnePlus 7 Pro camera, Its really quite a big difference that needs fixing. Other than that lovely device
@@SibTiger33 yeah and I know from my experience with creating configs for modded gcams for the OnePlus 7 series that the software can do better. It's a deliberate choice from Google to cripple it. The raw's proof the info is there, and if even an old(ish) phone with an imx586 can do better its really a pity
Between you and Unlockr are my fav Tech Influencers. 1 of the reasons I bought the Note20 Ultra was your Montauk video. Now 3 yrs later it's time to Upgrade even though I love my Note 20 U. Having problems with the Spen, Panel display doesn't pop up when I touch the screen. Was going to Upgrade to another Samsung but seriously thinking of the Pixel 7 Pro.
Man, we need something that can last a full day without looking like it’ll kick the bucket on the way home. I had turned off a bunch of features on my S22 Ultra to make it last a day comfortably. Just this past week I decided to turn them back on because I realized I have a phone with 1440p/ 120 Hz screen, meanwhile I’m using it at 1080p and 60Hz to make it last a day. Now I have to charge it at work so it won’t die on the way home. Keep in mind that I’m only using reddit, podcasting app, WhatsApp, and RUclips Music.
I just clocked in 8 hours screen on time with my s22 ultra. I'm not sure why other people are getting such bad battery life but I feel for you all 😪 I use it pretty heavy too. Always playing a video in RUclips pop-up while charting and online shopping and shit while working.
@@fraghead9813 smh, I never watch videos or play games on my phone either. I do listen to a lot of podcasts over a Bluetooth speaker, but the battery report always shows less than 10% used for that. I love everything about this phone except the battery.
@@d3vastat0r89 I hear ya man, I just feel for ya. I really don't take it easy on my daily usage and seem to get pretty good battery life. I don't play games either but a lot of youtube and online surfing and what not. I've always got around 8 hours screen on time which for me is plenty! Your not the only one I've heard that gets trash battery though so I wonder if it's certain phones or what not 🤔
Always worth the wait, another excellent review. I'll be holding onto my 6 Pro for another year but nice to see Google listening and making constant improvements.
It's unfortunate Google took this long, I was a LONG holdout, actually liked the Nexus series alot, but the cameras were ALWAYS underwhelming. Kept waiting, and the pixel series just never was a viable option, so I switched to iOS a year ago. I have no regrets, but it's good that Google is FINALLY producing something decent on the photography side that doesn't force you to except a bunch of compromises elsewhere
I’ve been waiting on the Mr Mobile review of the 7 pro 😁 I’ll be getting one soon couldn’t decide on the galaxy s22 plus or the pixel 7 pro but I think you have made up my mind 😁
Bixby also does that "stop alarm" voice thing and everyone already mentioned Samsung's eraser... Which can be pin point with a stylus on the s22 ultra...
Why are people exited about 5x zoom? S21 ultra had that almost 2 years ago. As well as optical face unlock and object eraser, photo remaster, ect. That's a device that can be had for about the same cost if you can live with an older device.
Samsung only has 3X zoom and 10X zoom, so 4-9X zoom is all digital. The Pixel 5X zoom is far superior to the S22U 5X zoom. The Pixel 6-9X zoom is a different league to the S22U. I would argue that 10X zoom is rarely used and that 2-9X is far more commonly used.
As a proud Pixel XL, Pixel 3 XL(El notcho) and Pixel 5 I'm glad to see they tossed out the old and started with what works with the pixel 6 and now the new and improved Pixel 7 Pro. I have been using my 7 Pro for a few days now and it's leaps and bounds better than my Pixel 5. I had was running the Android 13 beta on my Pixel 5 so I had some of the features ahead of time but none ot it compares to the 7 Pro. Best Google phone ever.
I stuck with an iPhone over the past few years since leaving the Galaxy Note 8. I've been interested in the Pixel since it's intro but I always believed it's best to wait 2-3 iterations for a company to hash out any major bugs/issues with a brand new format/style/design/internals. I hope the Pixel 8 improves the video camera capabilities and smoothness such as the transition between lenses, and also optimizes the OS to run even smoother than what I've seen so far (which looks decent at the moment).
I wish Speakly did more with the languages I want to learn.. but.. I think I will go for the pixel 7 pro or the pixel fold.. I'm so curious about that one..
Its the little details that you put in your videos , the beautiful video samples that you take from outside, story play and a high quality video and a genuine review that hooks me on to your channel. Keep going and do better ☺️
Here in India Google has production issues..they have been sold out for 10 days. So my guess is whatever potential customers they could have converted, now are going to reconsider this phone.
Had a lot of phones from Samsung and Apple but this is my first Pixel and it's a real 'Smart' phone. In Europe the price is also way less than iPhone 14 Pro or S22ULTRA. 899,- dollars is 899 euros while the iPhone 14 Pro Max cost around 1400 euro.

I come to this channel not just for seeing the review of products but such beautifully scripted videos and that charming voice. Huge fan of you sir!
Honest to God best Pixel 7 review I've seen yet. You're so good at this man.
watching on my pixel 7 pro. so happy i waited for the 7 instead of getting the 6 last year. learning the lessons that 1st generation of models like the 6 has problems that can be fixed on the 2nd gen (pixel 7). now i wait for the 2nd gen pixel watch xD
Thanks for pointing out little stuff like the music squiggle and the video resolution indicator. So far, this is the best review I watched on the camera of this phone too. The highs and lows of it are clear, and I have felt like people are softer on the video this year, but it seems clear here that the choppiness, the focusing, and issues with zoom and camera switching hold this one back. Still a very strong contender and I'm glad it's better refined, I am considering this or one of the S23s for my next phone. I know I'd miss a lot of Samsung features, and I am not sure which would be better for battery and gaming (Pokemon GO, specifically), but there does seem to be a lot to like about the Pixel experience as well. Cheers.
P.S. I really like the idea of referring to the non-pro version as the "amateur"
You are the best at what you do. I really appreciate you not just reading off specs from a spec sheet and rattling off benchmark scores. Your scripting is second to none
I was waiting for your review, they never disappoint. You don't worry about petty details and stay focused on the performance. Upgrading from Pixel 5 to the 7, the Pro was too big for my hands. My husband just ordered ours last night and we are excited. My husband is coming from Iphone 10. He has admired my Pixel for awhile and he is ready to switch. I can't wait to set his phone up.
Oh wow, amazing

Still hestitant after the Pixel 6 Pro (mine was frought with issues), but might get the next generation whenever my S22 Ultra is ready for retirement. Glad to see Google might have learned their lesson this time around.
The tumbnails have consistently been getting better and better each time, while retaining that mrmobile thumbnail style. Big thumbs up to the designer of those thumbnails.
Picked up a pixel 7 pro, loving it so far... I'm a big fan of the face unlock, even if you can only use it to unlock the phone.
The moment he said the Google phone has arrived, that was so satisfying that someone is addressing the Pixel in the house of Android. The pixels had been plagued by n number of bugs but the camera, that's where they get the ball in their court.
The experience I've had with the 7 Pro has been sublime. I don't think I can ever get away from the Pixel line
I'll also be in a very tough spot if the Pixel phone ends up in a plot at the Google Graveyard
Battery life is my biggest concern. It's far from my old P30 Pro
I am switching from iPhone 12 pro

"The Google phone has finally arrived" is the best praise can be given to the Pixel 7 series 👍🏾
Ever since Pixel 7 & 7 pro launched I was just only waiting for your video & yes it was all worth it.
Man, I love your reviews! Your reviews just like the production values of your videos is meticulous and immaculate. The footage quality is so painstakingly compiled and edited. I hope you keep putting out videos like this for years to come.
Wow the trip to Iceland was incredible! Thank you for sharing it!
Don't think I've ever commented on a tech review video but the quality and personality of this channel is amazing. Great job!
Honestly such a great video. The pixel 7 and 7 pro are the pixels everyone wanted.
Except for the curved screen on the 7 pro 😭
@@AniviaS It's not that dramatic of a curve, mind you.
@@ammarharith5512 Yep, in fact the curve was made much less pronounced when compared to the 6 Pro.
@@ammarharith5512 dramatic enough that you can't use tempered glass screen protectors
(except for the messy and overpriced whitestone dome and it's clones)
Sorry I couldn’t wait for your review before ordering the amateur version of the phone. After watching your review I’m glad I ordered it early. Thanks for mentioning the Pixel exclusive features that so many other reviewers skip or just don’t know about. As always, great work, excellent quality and writing and just a fun channel to subscribe to.
Samsung phones do have a magic eraser-like feature right? Gallery app, Edit, Menu, Object Eraser. Doesn't work perfectly but it's decent.
I appreciate the way you're open and up front about any company comps.
I want that call screening feature on my iPhone so bad! Been getting so many spam calls recently 🙁
Also, really feeling Google's Pixel series is becoming the new OnePlus. No complaints!
my wife changed from iPhone to Pixel and has no regrets, loves her Pixel
@@MinnesotaMathew That’s awesome! Which Pixel does she have?
Don't you have truecaller? Or it doesn't work on iphones
@@oldbot64 Don’t have that, I’ll have to look in to it!
You can call screen on the iPhone (under settings/phone). But the approach Ioke is to have a different ring tone for anyone who's on my contact list (and a faster one for people designated as VIPs, and only those go to my watch). Means I don't even need to look at my phone to decide whether to take it or not.
You should do audiobooks - you have such a great voice for it
Samsung devices use bixby for voice cancellation of alarma
They also have object eraser in the gallery app under experimental/more i believe
When I went to Iceland, I wasn’t able to see northern lights. Very jealous of you, Michael! Great video as always
Awesome review. I have a 6a and I'm thinking of getting the regular pixel 7
Don't think that'll be a worthy upgrade, tensor g2 isn't that much of a difference over tensor one. Use your 6a till the 8 comes that'll be a real upgrade.
Yeah basically buying the same phone twice
Mr Mobile is fast becoming a tech AND a travel reviewer. That's a niche someone could fill 😉
Michael's videos are always worth waiting for, and this one's no exception :)
Being able to just say "Stop" at the google assistant is very much underrated.
Been a Google Phone guy since the Galaxy Nexus first came out, only had the Nexus 6 and the Pixel 3XL for the last 12 years. I'm making the jump to the 7 Pro and could not be more excited! The Google Store in Germany even bundled it with the Pixel Watch for free! So at least I'll see how things run (had to get the buds as well for the ecosystem experience). Always look to your reviews for actual daily driver experience beyond the printed tech specs.
And this review has assuaged any concerns I may have had! Hope you get to review the Pixel Watch!
I never seen anyone use Pixels before until the Pixel 6. Even for me, the Pixel 6 was the first Pixel I would consider buying. I held out and bought the Pixel 7.
Great video Michael. Pixel just becomes more and more appealing. This is such a brilliant alternative to an iPhone or Samsung phone. It's never been more compelling.
I've had a pixel 4a 5g for a year and a half now, the Nokia 6.1 before that. It's been absolutely great, the camera is awesome, and it's dependable. And I don't get spam calls. When this phone dies, I will likely get pixel again. But with the zoom camera. I've found that the ultra-wide angle is handy only sometimes for me, but I've found myself wishing for a good zoom lens more often. My dream would be a slightly smaller screen, about 5.5-5.8", but I know that won't happen
What a solid review as always, as a long time iPhone user your review of this phone raised my interest for this phone and I admit after watching it am almost ready to jump ship should this phone be available here in Iceland! Loved your photos, hope you had some nice weather here, winter has come though for now.
Since I literally just got a 6a I'm on that for the next couple years, but the black 7 pro is damn sexy!
Agreed.
Got myself a regular 7 for shits and gigs, I have an s22 ultra for my main but I had an iPhone 12 mini laying around and Google's $500 offer for it was the best I was going to see without a carrier deal. I like it, it's a neat little phone, and while the s22 ultras screen is nicer and the camera is better for zoom, the regular pixel still makes amazing photos and has some neat features
Top review as always Mr Fisher. Thank you.
This is the review that I've been waiting for....... The Quality, The Opinions, The Visuals and everything is a Step Ahead of other reviews....
I think once you factor in the additional cash incentives such as $200 direct from Google and Best Buy gift cards not to mention trade-in deals, the Pixel becomes a significant better value than the competition. In other countries I heard Google is tossing in Google's watch to further the deal.
About the extras: for example in my country (Germany ) you can get the Google Pixel Watch ( WiFi or LTE version) or the Google Pixel Buds Pro for free with the P7 Pro
After trading in my PIXEL 6 Pro and using the $200 gift card... I got both the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel Watch for $470 that's one helluva deal
Those night shots Iceland are amazing 👏 ..I did the same in Cape Cod this summer, but yours are next level.
I think the new design is actually quite nice. The eco system is no where near apple. But as a phone it is really great, unless Google mess up the updates for the pixel line
No better place on earth to test the camera! No better reviewer either! Keep up the great work, your efforts in all your videos are greatly appreciated! I think Google may have finally nailed it this year.
Another excellent video - Thank you. I'm going to stick with my 6 Pro - I just can't see any benefit in trading up.
Not gonna lie, MrMobile has the best operational, functional reviews. He doesn’t just sit behind a desk and talk at you, the phone/device is on display in action doing everyday tasks. Keep up the great reviews man.
I love the Pixel infrastructure but I won't buy a new one until they release something the size of the 4a again (or like the iPhone Mini ideally).
What phone are you using?
@@katinasoutherland7693 pixel 4a. I absolutely love it and won't go back to a phone any larger. I really want an iPhone Mini but refuse to switch OS.
MrMobile doesn’t just do a review. He actually produces a full professional documentary each and every time without fail. Never disappoints either. Thanks Michael, you’re definitely the Boss. ❤
I'm just depressed at how underrated your channel is. The effort you put in every video, I'd give you 10M subscriber if I could.
Use your bollywood power 🤣🤣
I know I'm from the old youtube generation when I think wtf are you talking about, 1.2m is an insane number but youtube has become so big. Ten years ago 10k subscribers was a lot lol
Iceland great spot to test the pixel 7, was there last September and was able to take great pictures with the predecessor on a round the Island trip... I had to miss out on the Aurora.
Are the overheating problems fixed? That's what helped me back with last year's phone. If those are fixed, I'm going to buy it right now
Mr.Foldable😄
I just ordered a Pixel 7 (inJune 2023). My carrier in Canada is offering it at just $15/month for 2 years. $0 down. Hard to beat that. I'm upgrading from an old Samsung S10 so I hope to see a significant improvement in my photo quality.
Mr. Mobile’s reviews are more like documentaries ♥️♥️ a special flavour.
Finally an Android competitor worthy of leaving Samsung. I'm ready for a cohesive and clean software experience with some actually innovative cameras.
They aren't innovative cameras though and the battery life isn't good
Having had the phone since launch day, I must say it looks like Google crippled the camera. Whilst colour, speed and contrast all look great, the detail is far worse and more unnatural looking compared to my custom OnePlus 7 Pro camera, Its really quite a big difference that needs fixing.
Other than that lovely device
O my god thank you. Finally someone else who had the problems I had. Also the front camera is piss poor
@@SibTiger33 yeah and I know from my experience with creating configs for modded gcams for the OnePlus 7 series that the software can do better. It's a deliberate choice from Google to cripple it. The raw's proof the info is there, and if even an old(ish) phone with an imx586 can do better its really a pity
It needs a big update as there are many other camera issues, some mentioned in this video.
@@andyH_England Yeah video bitrate is weirdly low
I enjoy your reviews the most with each major phone release...Cinematics are unrivalled!
Watching this as I set up my 7 Pro.
Between you and Unlockr are my fav Tech Influencers. 1 of the reasons I bought the Note20 Ultra was your Montauk video. Now 3 yrs later it's time to Upgrade even though I love my Note 20 U. Having problems with the Spen, Panel display doesn't pop up when I touch the screen. Was going to Upgrade to another Samsung but seriously thinking of the Pixel 7 Pro.
Man, we need something that can last a full day without looking like it’ll kick the bucket on the way home. I had turned off a bunch of features on my S22 Ultra to make it last a day comfortably. Just this past week I decided to turn them back on because I realized I have a phone with 1440p/ 120 Hz screen, meanwhile I’m using it at 1080p and 60Hz to make it last a day. Now I have to charge it at work so it won’t die on the way home. Keep in mind that I’m only using reddit, podcasting app, WhatsApp, and RUclips Music.
I just clocked in 8 hours screen on time with my s22 ultra. I'm not sure why other people are getting such bad battery life but I feel for you all 😪 I use it pretty heavy too. Always playing a video in RUclips pop-up while charting and online shopping and shit while working.
@@fraghead9813 smh, I never watch videos or play games on my phone either. I do listen to a lot of podcasts over a Bluetooth speaker, but the battery report always shows less than 10% used for that. I love everything about this phone except the battery.
@@d3vastat0r89 I hear ya man, I just feel for ya. I really don't take it easy on my daily usage and seem to get pretty good battery life. I don't play games either but a lot of youtube and online surfing and what not. I've always got around 8 hours screen on time which for me is plenty! Your not the only one I've heard that gets trash battery though so I wonder if it's certain phones or what not 🤔
Always worth the wait, another excellent review. I'll be holding onto my 6 Pro for another year but nice to see Google listening and making constant improvements.
Wow, this review was so worth the wait. Micheal, you've done it again!
It's unfortunate Google took this long, I was a LONG holdout, actually liked the Nexus series alot, but the cameras were ALWAYS underwhelming. Kept waiting, and the pixel series just never was a viable option, so I switched to iOS a year ago. I have no regrets, but it's good that Google is FINALLY producing something decent on the photography side that doesn't force you to except a bunch of compromises elsewhere
I’ve been waiting on the Mr Mobile review of the 7 pro 😁 I’ll be getting one soon couldn’t decide on the galaxy s22 plus or the pixel 7 pro but I think you have made up my mind 😁
Bixby also does that "stop alarm" voice thing and everyone already mentioned Samsung's eraser... Which can be pin point with a stylus on the s22 ultra...
Still have the pixel 6 and still loving it.
They just gave me a $700 dollar trade in for one of these for my s9, at Verizon, it only cost me $200. What a great deal.
Fantastic review as always. The 7P touching up all the little things that were frustrating about the 6P is an A+ job by Google!
Why are people exited about 5x zoom? S21 ultra had that almost 2 years ago. As well as optical face unlock and object eraser, photo remaster, ect. That's a device that can be had for about the same cost if you can live with an older device.
Samsung only has 3X zoom and 10X zoom, so 4-9X zoom is all digital. The Pixel 5X zoom is far superior to the S22U 5X zoom. The Pixel 6-9X zoom is a different league to the S22U. I would argue that 10X zoom is rarely used and that 2-9X is far more commonly used.
As a proud Pixel XL, Pixel 3 XL(El notcho) and Pixel 5 I'm glad to see they tossed out the old and started with what works with the pixel 6 and now the new and improved Pixel 7 Pro. I have been using my 7 Pro for a few days now and it's leaps and bounds better than my Pixel 5. I had was running the Android 13 beta on my Pixel 5 so I had some of the features ahead of time but none ot it compares to the 7 Pro. Best Google phone ever.
But is it the best Android phone ever? The world will never know
I stuck with an iPhone over the past few years since leaving the Galaxy Note 8. I've been interested in the Pixel since it's intro but I always believed it's best to wait 2-3 iterations for a company to hash out any major bugs/issues with a brand new format/style/design/internals.
I hope the Pixel 8 improves the video camera capabilities and smoothness such as the transition between lenses, and also optimizes the OS to run even smoother than what I've seen so far (which looks decent at the moment).
I wish Speakly did more with the languages I want to learn.. but.. I think I will go for the pixel 7 pro or the pixel fold.. I'm so curious about that one..
Its the little details that you put in your videos , the beautiful video samples that you take from outside, story play and a high quality video and a genuine review that hooks me on to your channel. Keep going and do better ☺️
Here in India Google has production issues..they have been sold out for 10 days. So my guess is whatever potential customers they could have converted, now are going to reconsider this phone.
Your reviews are always very well done. I love the adventures you go on and the storytelling is fantastic.
Had a lot of phones from Samsung and Apple but this is my first Pixel and it's a real 'Smart' phone.
In Europe the price is also way less than iPhone 14 Pro or S22ULTRA. 899,- dollars is 899 euros while the iPhone 14 Pro Max cost around 1400 euro.
Thank you for showing the awesome photos of Iceland!
The John Stossel of phone reviewers. In voice, inflection and quality! Favorite reviewer on RUclips!
I've been waiting for your review. Worth the wait!
Great choice of shooting from Greenpoint landing
Galaxy has magic eraser it's called object eraser under Edith.
