Dude really thinks his channel with 50,000 followers has the juice to effect anything. Playing the racism card is pretty lame too.
Nobody watches me
Where in the clip did the presenter played racism card?
@@topson23 his last video
First of all, it's "affect", not effect. Maybe get your intelligence up before you shit-talk? Spartan Dumbass.
Dayo is doing a great job bringing light to this. I had issues with Pixels too.
I've always believed the real racists are those who view everything through a prism of race or racism. They see it everywhere because they want to see it everywhere. They are defacto racists. In several videos by Dayo that I have watched, I never felt he was "playing the race card" or "playing the victim". I definitely appreciate him for that professionalism. Perhaps those who constantly see a racist before them should turn away from the mirror.
I also think other RUclipsrs maybe don't speak on bad units they get. They have the power to ask for a replacement and don't factor it in their reviews. It's nice to hear an honest side of a less than desirable experience
agreed here
It's because big reviewers have more importance. If Google gave MKBHD got a review phone, I am pretty sure they would give him one that would work perfectly. At least Ayo will give you the perspective of a normal consumer. I wouldn't mind buying a Pixel phone but it seems like there are quite a few users who always have an issue with Pixel phones. Either issue with cameras, fingerprint scanner issues, or some Pixel how color issues with the display. Google has never made its own phones. They changed partnerships every few years. In the last few years, Foxconn made its phones. Google had other companies like HTC, Samsung, Huawei, and LG make their phones in the past. With so many switches how can you expect any company could make a good smartphone for Google?
@@Dannyblazer1985 If Google is serious about hardware then they should just make the jump and commit to one manufacturer, buy a smartphone division, or start their own. I don't know if HTC is still around, but they would have been a good company to buy. The funny thing is that Google bought Motorola Mobile in 2011 but sold it in 2014. I think they had a Nexus tablet and the phone was made by Motorola. But I always felt that Google never made their smartphones a priority. They never sold well. I only own the Pixel 3 but other than that it's hard to make a compelling argument to get the pixel compared to a Samsung.
i have had about 4+ pixel phones and have never had any issue with a single one. they lasted 5+ years too.
My only Google device that gives me trouble is my Nest Camera Wi-Fi outdoor camera which constantly disconnects from my network
Never returned any Pixel and no problem with it and I have lots of Google devices at home 4 Google Home-mini, a Pixel 3 which still works perfectly and a Pixel 6 which works very well
only negative point on my Pixel 6, the sound, it was 100% better on my Pixel 3.
Man I was defending Google earlier but this is just crazy at this point.
People always jump to defend Google, like when microsoft released bing ai search, everyone said on twitter that google has something 10x better up their sleeves, turns out they had nothing, panicked and quickly had a event just talking about bard to not sound too far behind.
this guy is overblowing the issue though
@@_yurihow tho???
Kinda hard to trust him considering the first thing on the tv screen was his Apple TV app and then proceeds to search the location on his MacBook.
Been buying Pixel phones for a couple of years now... never faced any of the issues he mentioned so far... He must be a really unlucky guy I guess...
@@elisamuelpedraza8228lmao what does his usage of apple products have anything to do with sharing his personal experience about the Pixel? You are making 0 sense. Just because you had a flawless experience with your Pixel does not mean that EVERYONE has a great experience. Do you know how many friends I met so far that had several issues with their iPhone 14 pro (Ik it sounds ludicrous but it's true)? Horrible battery drain and overheating mess was what they told me, and they've been a lifetime iPhone user. Apple is quite well known for their overall good optimization with their hardware & software, but clearly, not everyone has the same experience. Quality control is a thing and some people may get a lemon (which in this case, it's Dayo). You are typing this comment because you are butthurt that someone is calling out on a product that you love and had no issues with. If you encountered no issues with your Pixel, great. Just like how you are saying "i'Ve hAD a fLaWlEss eXpEriEncE", Dayo is simply sharing his experience with his own device. Questing someone's integrity based on what other stuff he use in the background sounds like a very "good" judgement to me 😂😂😂. If you are going to call out someone for something, make sure it's based on facts, not opinion-based.
I feel for you sir. I had some software hardware problems with the 7A when it came out. I got it replaced for a seven. So far so good. I thought I'd let you know that and I definitely feel your pain
My pixel 7a is a trash poor software and hardware
Pixel 1 is better
Totally frustrating! And I absolutely agree that one’s own bad experience trumps others’ good ones. Especially when it’s a repeated bad experience. Great vid! 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah, and if I had the same experience, especially with a replacement device, that would be enough for me to say enough and I am done.
I daily drive a Pixel 7 Pro and haven't had any of these issues.......nah, i'm not going to stop there haha. While I haven't had any of these issues, I really like how you are shedding light to how this RMA process is awful. It is making me super fortunate that I haven't had to deal with getting a lemon device from Google. Honestly, considering that you just got the device, I would have assumed they would have shipped you a brand new device again. Having those kinds of issues right off the back should warrant a new device.
I'm not trying to defend google however in their fine print in the warranty paper work that is in your original brand new phone box that it comes in states that in case theor is a need to return due to defects hardware wise to the phone, they reserve the right to ship a renewed device if they are in stock at any of their refurbishing places. If their is no refurbished devices available then that's when they send a brand new one. Usually in the first 5 months if their is an issue and wasn't because of the purchasers fault they will send a new one. A brand new one will always come with its own box even if you still have the original box from the last one. If it doesn't come with its own box then it's a renewed device. Apple is the same way as well as Samsung.
not even Wifi and bluetooth problems? I've seen these on every single Pixel 6 and 7 so far.
@@christopherzube551 This isn't a refurbished device. This is a broken device.
@Tj Gienger the fact that the screen shows that message when trying to add a fingerprint to the phone shows that the screen has been replaced, but the company didn't recalibrate the screen for the fingerprint scanner. The only time that message pops up is if the screen was replaced, and was the same issue as the pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro. Technically it is referred to as refurbished, but the company that does the work just didnt do a good job putting it back together. However the volume control button has popped out on some people with the pixel 7 pro without them needing any service which is a big problem for google quality control. It also doesn't look good on Google if the 3rd party businesses do a crappy renewing them, especially when it has been going on for a while.
@Dennis Schmitz my pixel 6 pro did have wifi issues in the beginning but after a couple updates that was fixed for me. However I didn't have any Bluetooth or wifi issues with the 7 pro. Not saying their isn't, but I didn't have those kind of issues. However I definitely wish that Google would go back to snapdragon chip sets. I understand why they wanted to move to their custom chip, but their is a reason why Samsung decided to quit with the exynos chips and stick with snapdragon. Till this day the pixel 4xl and 5 are my favorite pixel devices. Pixel 4xl is in my view the best one they made, but not everybody feels that way. I just wish they kept the face unlock from the p4xl and used it on the rest of the pixel lineups
Google has always been like this. Wait until the pixel fold comes out. I'm sure that will have tons of issues and people will be waiting forever for replacements
That Pixel fold is going to be a hot mess. 😂😂
My Nexus 7 was the similar. It had severe issues during second year (charging extremely slow, like 12 hours slow, heating up a lot), went to RMA, they said it was decent. To be fair it was Asus-Google product and Asus RMA has always been terrible, but that product was also partly Google's, so yeah... Needless to say I have been reading about later devices from Google and you could find a lot of people with terrible quality issues and Google doing fuck all to engineer their stuff to be functional and RMA not being a complete joke. And I thought that Pixel line-up might be their own fresh start, but nope, it was same old shit with Pixel 2 series being the worst offender up until Pixel 7 series. At this point, I just silently boycott Google's products and advise others against them. To be fair, even Google's software products are a bit on decline.
yeah its gonna be rough
Ken Oath to that!
From what I read, Google will provide Replacement Parts for everyone. I guess at this point they're like "You don't like how we do it? Fine, do it yourself then!"
I love your honesty and transparency which is why I just subscribed. I don't have the pro just the regular 7 and I really love it. I am sorry you had to go through a horrible experience. Hopefully, you can give Google another chance with the Pixel 8 line up when it comes out. I hope my P7 does not break down on me otherwise I might have to go through a horrible replacement process with the preferred care plan I have.
Good on you bud for the honest experience , a bit unfortunate to have such a crappy experience especially from such a big company like google.
If I wanted to take a chance on one , I would only buy from an electronics store that has an excellent warranty and or return policy record.
Imo , sending stuff in to get assessed for warranty and or repair is not the ideal scenario for reasons you have shown.
All the best to you mate.
Who knew that Google's call screening feature was for their own customer service line?
😂
Everyone that read the features on the website
I had the Google 7 Pro 512gb almost a month ago and returned it back to the Google store in less than a week due to the fact while outside I lost internet connection for more then 10 minutes until it came back had to use airplane mode several times to accomplish this. If Google continues to make mediocre flagship they should close shop like LG did. Enjoy your RUclips videos very informative
That's the rebranded Exynos processor's doing. Sadly Google doesn't want to use Snapdragon since they cannot put their own name on it.
@@DennisSchmitz or maybe Samsung deliberately sabotaging Google with these chips
It is basically using reject Exynos parts that even Samsung won't use anymore as they suck so much. Their modems and chips rate bottom of the pile. With Samsung-made crap there will be a certain percentage that get usable stuff but if you are unlucky you get a crap fest (my Exynos S22U was an awful mess for example). Rumour is Google may switch to TSMC in 2024. That will be nice.
@@andyH_England seeing is believing
@@andyH_England once they stop using that exynos crap I may consider getting a Pixel. I remember using an Exynos Samsung S21 Ultra and it was a terrible experience full of lags, bugs and crashes as well as terrible camera processing.
I've had 3 pixel 7 come through the family and all of them have been wonderful. Sucks that it didn't work out for you. I loved over from a iPhone 13 pro. Personally, the software experience on the Pixel is much better in my opinion. Another point is I've always had more trouble hardware wise with Samsungs over the years. I know it's a smaller sample size but my last S21FE was riddled with bugs to the point where I was refunded and swapped to the iPhone.
My pixel 7 pro has only been problems
I think this was a fantastic review - thank you so much. It was honest, succinct and refreshing - I'm just so sorry that you had so many problems with this phone. I hope that by now you have managed to sort this. I was considering purchasing this handset but based on your review and others I have seen, I don't think I will.
No problem with this outstanding phone so far 😂. I don't know what you are all saying!
Also, fairly sure if MKBHD has a problem with his Pixel, Sundar will personally drive a replacement down and present it to him on a golden pillow. You'll never hear about it.
Also give him a box of chocolates too lol 😂
Marques literally put google on blast for the pixel 6 pro being a buggy mess lol, y’all just hating someone for being successful
Facts
People put MKBHD on a pedestal within the tech world. At the end of the day, he is paid to “influence” users to buy certain products. I hope all tech reviewers are successful as long as they’re honest and objective. Marques is an intelligent and knowledgeable tech guy but he sold his integrity a very long time ago. So then, what good is his word if that integrity is gone?
@@DWtechfansaid who ?
You are not wrong !! I sent mine back also due to sticky scrolling and thermal issues when doing absolutely nothing at all. This video confirms that I am not trippin
Good honest review. Thanks I am following your channel.
This was an eye opener for me, i have a pixel 7 pro and now know i got extremely lucky. Before i would have recommended a pixel to anyone and was going to recommend it to a family member whos looking for a new phone but i would never want to subject them to the russian roulette that is google quality control. Thank you for bringing this issue to light 🙏
Reminds me of the Pixel 3 experience I had. Didn't even go through the RMA process because they said they would send me a refurb. Nope, sold it for my S10E. Four years strong
Bro...I hear you, truly. I have owned 3 p7Ps. I keep coming back. Never learning. all overheat. Lag and freezes. All Pixel claims to fame is its camera. Thats it. I'm on a s23U now, and while I hate this phone so much (zero issues with this phone, just hate the UI and in hand feeling), I have no issues at all. None. The sammy just works perfectly. You said everything perfectly and you deserve credit. Google needs to get their shit together.
Same with me got 23 ultra don't like the UI and nova doesn't work on it, still the phone works perfectly
I'm also on the verge of switching because mine keeps turning off randomly, heats and the battery won't last through a whole day. But OneUI is just so bad to me and I don't really like how the photos come out... Might have to do it and see if I can live with it
I almost bought P7p, then my car is fucked I had to repair it. end up buy a pixel 6A...and I think I dodged a bullet there. phew
The pixel 3-5 were phenomenal. It's a shame they've become so unreliable in recent years
3 time Pixel 7 Pro user here too 🙋🏿♂️.
Dayo, my dude. Congrats on all these subscribers. I subbed your channel a couple years back and just now went looking for Pixel advice and you were the 2nd video result for me.
That's so much Jonah. It's nice to see familiar faces
I 100% agree with you. Google Doesn't have good quality control. I had similiar story but first I received a good pixel 7 pro, and was working fine for a couple of months and then the motherboard just died out of nowhere. I sent back my device and I received another faulty one, where volume rocker also fell of for me and other bugs.
So thank you for doing this and I really hope it gets google attention, as this is not a cheap phone, it costs 900$ and should have way better quality!
I am so glad that I came across with your Videos! It has been hard to choose a replacement for my daily driver which I have been using for almost 4 yrs! It is the Huawei P30 Pro China version! I was nailing down to the Pixel 7 Pro and Oppo Find X6 Pro, but damn I am glad saw Dayo's videos because his issues brought back my horrendous experience with the Google/Huawei Nexus 6P: the battery heating up and not lasting through a day. After about a year and half, I ended it up going back to Apple cos it was that bad for me. To see this, I will never get one again! Thank you, Dayo!
Moving on from my Pixel 7 for the similar reasons… I am sure it’s a good phone deep down but the faults outweigh the benefits! Your reviews are always honest and entertaining and you’re one the best out there my friend. Love from UK
Good phone deep down?
Ok.
@@Michael-db4sn be nice, he’s just saying in his own way, we know what he means.
in an industry with a 1% failure rate it doesn't surprise me that people would have lemons :( this sucks
Deep down where?
@@madcrabber1113 deep down in his soul
Firstly, thank you for your honest reviews, it's very appreciated and keep up the great content!
Secondly, I wanted to share my recent experience with my Google Pixel 7 needing to be fixed.
The key word "fixed" is what I'd like to shed light on.
When I presented my issue to the Google support rep, it was a faulty fingerprint sensor, their first suggestion to me was a repair. The one you mentioned in your video, ie. The dreaded 3rd party repair depot.
So I simply said no to their offer to repair. Instead I asked for a replacement or exchange. After asking me to hold for 3 minutes while they consulted their support team, they returned quickly to advise me of some good news they had for me. They agreed to have me first ship my device to them and then send a new replacement after receiving the defective unit
I should also mention that I didn't buy my device directly from the Google Play store but rather from a retailer.
So I'm hoping that you might give google one last chance to truly Replace your unit with a new one, and by insisting NO Repair thank you Google!
This way, you'll truly know if you're pixel 7 was a Lemon or not.
Again, love your videos, keep them coming!!
Thanks bro you save me lots of trouble. I was going to buy 7pro but luckily bump in to the first video. There’s so many pixel 7pro reviews but no one mentioned these problems. After watching your video I actually talked to a pixel pro owner and he said the same.
I had pixel 7, and it was warm all the time. I just scrolling the social media and it was warm not hot but warm. Get rid of it very quickly. I have Oneplus 11 now and I am very happy with that.
Nice honest review from an actual user who's not sponsored or paid for by any phone company 👍.. subscribed!
Sorry about what you went through. Thank you for sharing. I was all excited and looking forward to getting the Pixel 8. I found your video helpful.
Hey bro I like your content a whole lot. Definitely will be following you channel daily
You are right, I recently got a Pixel 7a and after a short time I have small scratches on my camera lens, my old Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite did not have such scratches after 3 ½ years.
It doesn't seem to be of the best quality as many claim in their reviews.
Still, I'm satisfied due to vanilla UI.
I can't say anything about the customer service so far, I live in Germany and here the device is sent somewhere else in the event of damage.
Thank you for your videos.
was thinking about buying one this summer . thanks
Hi. Îd like to send you all my congratulations all the way from France. I landed on your channel randomly and I salute your honesty and sens of ethic. Î’m outraged about how big tech companies disrespect consumers like that. Anyway, I’ll keep following your channel so keep up with the good work. 😉
The volume rocker just falling out is fucking insanity. Loved the video man!
Just found you on RUclips and gotta say I'm enjoying your content. Sorry you had such a bad time with the pixel. Gave mine up and went back to iPhone. Lol
I have never seen this approach to reviewing an experience. Insightful, honest. keep up. You've just earned a sub.
I've had my Pixel 7 pro since it's release and I'm still in love with it. I'm so sorry you've been having such an issue.
If ur lucky enough to find a customer service number for google, the person on the other end is literally reading what u just googled for troubleshooting.
That's the same thing that happens when I reach out to the RUclips rep 😂
Well, looks like I'm not gonna look forward ro buying a Pixel 7. I'm going to Italy for my masters degree and since there is no pixels in my home country, I was excited to buy one in Italy after a horrible experience with an exynos 990 s20 fe. I will look into buying a normal s23 or an iphone 13 instead. Thank you for this video, many youtubers just talk about how the pixel "experience" is great but that's not the whole story.
Wait what was your problem with the s20 fe? I know someone who's just bought a refurbished s20 fe, is there something she needs to look out for?
@@dolsimon The snapdragon one is one o the best phones you can buy at that price. My version (exynos) gives me from 2 to 4 hours of SoT, maximum. God forbid if you use it outside without wifi, the battery drain is insane. Overheats to the point of having to play every game on the lowest settings possible, even scrolling through reels on instagram makes it hot. Its constantly warm, and its very laggy thanks to the inferior chip. I would never recommend the 4g exynos version, please get the snapdragon, coded as G-780G, not with the F at the end, that is exynos.
There was even a day that I got 1 hr 35 min of SoT with my phone dying. woke up at 9 am with %100, only used the phone for checking up on time till 12 pm, from 12 to 6 pm I was swimming with my friends and didnt even use the phone, then we went to a club and I was already at 10 percent, nothing working on the background. If your friend bought the exynos model, she must return it asap bro
@@barsrustuoglu2574 Thanks for the heads up, i'll let her know about potential problems! Her phone is also exynos, but it's the 5G version, lets hope that makes a difference otherwise she'll probably have to return it!
@dolsimon no worries brother 🙏🏼 though it doesn't matter whether it is or not, exynos is a huge issue. My gf has the snapdragon s20 fe and it is a completely different phone than mine. Highly recommend it.
Great video - thank you for being honest. Please keep doing what your doing. Brand loyalty is still alive sadly.. hopefully that changes at some point.
I like how you gave your honest experience with Google. Because of it, I am more glad I bought a Galaxy phone over a Pixel A series phone, despite having a ton of praise. Also, I like how you read every single comment on your videos like Shank from Shank Mods does. You just earned a subscriber. Keep up the good work Dayo!
Last year I had the Google Pixel 7 as one of my new-phone options….and after hearing this…boy, I’m _glad_ I decided to go with the Galaxy S22 instead of the Pixel.
Good device 👍👍👍 I had issues also with fingerprint with Feb update and it got fixed with May 2023 but now with June update it is much more accurate and faster
@@BlizzardWind99 I agree. 👍👍 I never got any issues with my S22’s fingerprint sensor (if there were, I didn’t notice them), it always worked fine for me. 🤔
Good video. I really appreciate you shedding light on your issues w the Pixel series. I keep hearing raving reviews about it as I'm on the verge of getting a new phone. I was on the verge of defending Google as a lot of the custom rom/rooting community seem to defend them for that. The apps I use are pretty standard (Instagram/FB Messenger/Whatsapp etc) . I'm considering a Oneplus or Sony (I had a Oneplus 9 before and Apple phones but Apple has its weird app policies & lack of USB C). At least with Oneplus/Samsung/Sony & Apple you can get a hold of someone & voice your concerns. Part of me really wants to give Google the benefit of doubt but I keep hearing about things esp the over heating and the users put up with it. I can't name another brand except Samsung that had issues with it's older series of phones that has these issues. . The tracking is what I dislike to. Don't like it from Meta but equally from Google.
I just randomly stumbled on your video and I have to say I’m glad I did. You’ve earned a new subscriber.
:)
Subscribed! I like your thoughts and presentation. Personal experience is valid as a review! I have been researching so many quantitative reviews in my search for a new smartphone that a qualitative review is refreshing. For example, I tend to overlook RMA as a consideration (outside of graphics cards-RIP to my favorite, EVGA) and I feel that you have helped me dodge that mess. My one critique is that you were still a bit soft even after I set both my laptop sound and video player sound to max. Maybe that is just me, though.
Had issues on both P6 and P7P
Love the call assistant features , incredibly useful, but those phones are too buggy.
And the fingerprint scanners suck on both phones
A true competitor to MKBHD happy the algorithm recommended.
You seem like a cool dude who knows his crap and actually critically thinks in an age where that is apparently a luxury.
Hope to see some more cool videos in the future. :D
What? Why does MKBHD need a "competitor? Also, they're not foes simply bc they're both Black.
Subbed, just started watching your videos and you're doing great. Keep it up.
Great video!! I hope google can get that crap sorted out.
Thanks for keeping it real. I've been holding out just because of the issues others and yourself have been experiencing. Let's hope Google gets it right with the Pixel 8. Please keep us up to date if Google reaches out to you.
I've seen the same thing over and over again: let's hope Google will make it right with pixel 3,4,5....8. 😂 let's guess they will make it right with pixel 13 or 15. Or never 😂
The only issue I've had with my P7P was overheating, but I've seen people with reception issues with the P6 series and hardware defects on the P7P series (buttons falling out/camera glass shattering). Google will always be better at software than hardware. If you want the stock android expensive, the Nothing phones are the way to go. In my opinion, the Nothing Phone (1) is what the Pixel 6/7 should've been.
Liked the video and you've earned a sub from me for calling out Google and rightly so!
I had no problem, amazing flagship!!!!
Even though there's a low chance of a google employee actually seeing this, i love the way you make your videos, and i hope that the pixel fold goes well for you. I've never owned a pixel, but from everything else i've seen, it looks great, and I feel bad for your situation like seriously that sucks what google has done with your repair. :)
Sorry you had to go through that experience. Can't blame you for feeling the way you do. Hopefully a Google representative reaches out to you and tries to work things out. I just bought a pixel 7 Pro myself and it seems to be working well.
Most other reviewers don't really stick to one device because content creation requires them to keep on switching devices. Kudos to you, you've beared with them for this long. I would've walked out on the first mess. Most people are obviously stuck at puberty and don't know what a subjective, personal experience is. They're only capable of relating to the popular, not to the personal.
Damn, imagine people that have this kind of issues and they don't have a back up phone to use... Wow
This is why every reviewer you see reviewing the Pixel 7 either have Samsung or Apple Watches on their wrist. I mainly stick to Moto, Samsung, and Apple products.
Google is the reason I have a backup iPhone. I don't care for Apple, but that device is of high quality and reliable.
Just great D! Some love it, and some dont. Havin an honest review maybe catching up with others is just great. A good way to make in this case, google to wake up and actually doin somthing for their buyers.
And oh, keep up the good work. Move on to tech that works and delights you. It’s a great place to start. Looking forward to great stuff from this channel!
Google definitely has a problem with quality control. I’m on my 3rd pixel 7 pro replacement. My first two pixels got the green screen of death. I’m hoping the third one is good because I was planning on keeping this phone for two years or so. But I don’t blame you for being done with Google . It’s extremely frustrating.
I am getting my replacement this Sunday because of the green screen of death. Hopefully it's the only time I need to replace it
@@noidea796 I hope so too! I'm getting my 4th replacement today. :(
@@TomAmeen what issue are you having?
@@noidea796 After a few months, when the phone gets warm from using maps, etc... the screen flashes and goes green. One time I couldn't get the phone to turn back on, but eventually it started up again.
@@TomAmeenterrible phone
Thanks!
I'm a newbie on this channel and you are coooolll!!!!!!!
Love your honest reviews. Ignore the noise.
I've had a great experience with the OnePlus 11. Both face and fingerprint unlock are excellent, the camera is great, charging speed is next level and OxygenOS is super smooth. I can definitely recommend it!
Thats actually the phone im considering ATM
I had a OP 9 before. It was nice but made the mistake of getting a carrier version.
Oneplus & Samsung & Sony actually have phone numbers you can call & get a hold of someone.
The only thing people like Pixels is custom rom but how is your Oneplus 11 overall? Its fast? No issues? You dont worry about any privacy stuff? I I do like how Oneplus camera is decent
They're actually great for the price. Sadly the cameras still aren't there with Samsung, Apple and Google, especially in the video department.
But overall really stable and fast phone.
I currently have the OP 11 solid device.
@@DennisSchmitz Thanks for the info
@@markgutierez9922 Nice!
lmao that timing , ur first video got recommended and was laughing my ass off, clicked on the second video and boom this video was posted 23min ago
It was fate
I literally Subscribed to you because of this video. Keep it honest, we need to hear these things. So that's you and Flossy that I trust, don't let me down. :)
This video was very informational. Thumbs up 👍
Not going to lie, I love the pixel lineups...BUT I've had a fair share of issues with my Google Pixel 7 pro to the point I'm considering swapping to the Samsung S23 Ultra or just going back to iPhone. They gotta tighten up.
I came from an iPhone to an s23 ultra. I recommend it
Almost choked on my pizza when I saw that volume rocker. 😂 Thanks for keeping it real though!
Your content is pretty clean btw great stuff got a sub
Hahaahah I went to slip past your sponsor and had to rewind. Getting a like and sub just for that!
Gotcha 😉
Dayo, I'm curious to know if anyone from Google has contacted you since you posted your video 3 weeks ago? I sold my Pixel 7 Pro simply because I liked the S23 Ultra better. I had no problems or issues with mine. I wish I would've known of your bad experiences prior to selling mine as I would have gladly donated it to you in support of your channel. Keep up the good work and the honest reviews! Do your best to ignore the haters and stay focused on the positive. Congratulations on your 50K+ subscribers!
Nope. Not a peep from Google at all.
@@DayoAworunse That's very disappointing.
my 7 pro had this volume rocker issue,it comes out
So sorry for your experience.
I believe Google would be taking notes on this
Thank's for the review ... suscribed because of this.
It's such a love/hate thing with the Pixel 7 Pro.
I love the cleanliness of stock Android. I love the inferface, I love certain little quirks that you get with Google phones you just don't get with other Android phones (and iOS, but that's a whole different ball game). I love the camera (when it's not melting your hand off, that is).
I DON'T love the overheating and the insane battery drain. Just browsing FB or watching RUclips videos, this thing gets HOT. Using it outside in the sunshine, it gets even warmer. Take a few photos, and you're getting in to uncomfortably hot territory, especially that pretty (although impractical) camera module.
Bizarrely, my partner also has the 7Pro, he got his a week or so before I got mine, in fact, it was the awesomeness of his phone that encouraged me to get mine. His doesn't get hot at all, and he gets awesome battery life. Not the same experience here. We are both on the same network, both have the same phone storage and model - just different colours.
I so want to love this phone, and in many ways I do - but ultimately, the Tensor chip, based on Samsung's in-house Exynos framework, is always going to have terrible heat management and battery life. I'm in the UK, so I've endured some years of Exynos Samsung phones, and they've ALL suffered from lag, overheating and bad battery management. The S23 series was the first time that all markets got the Snapdragon chips in the phones, and oh my word, the difference was astounding. I had the S23 Ultra before this Pixel 7 Pro, and the software and hardware experiences were both fantastic. As was power and battery management. No overheating! No lag! No battery issues (was getting 2 days mod-to-heavy usage out of an S23U single charge). Sadly the S23U was too big and too heavy for me, too cumbersome to hold, and not exciting enough, otherwise I'd have probably kept it.
But whilst the Pixel phones are running on Samsung's inferior chip technology, they are always going to have these issues. That's fact, unfortunately. Before the S23U I had the iPhone 14 Pro, and there's something of the beautiful design language and seamless software experience that Apple share with Google. It's the hardware that lets the Pixel brand down.
Conversely, I've got the Pixel Watch, and it's amazing, and I'm not having the battery life problems with it that other users seem to have. It seems to be really hit-and-miss with Google quality control!
what did you do with the s23 ultra? I much prefer the look and shape of the regular s23 over the s23 ultra ngl
@@spike5499 easier on the hands too, coz it has a rounder corner
@spike5499 that's exactly why thr s23 and s23+ are severely underrated. I even get 9+ hours of screen on time easily and almost 16 hours total after taking my phone off the charger. That's WITH heavy usage
I'm with apple since iPhone 3. Starting to get into Android, looks like Samsung is a winner if going Android. Thought about Google Pixel too, but looks like I'll move along. Thanks for the review and sharing your experience about Google Pixel.
If you're coming from the iPhone, Samsung is definitely a reliable phone to transition to. I've read some loved Xperia but it's a niche market.
@@felreizmeshinca7459 Ironically the Pixels feel more like iPhones than any samsung
Super!! Love your video. Thanks. Q: Is that a TV or a monitor behind you, and what are you using to display the picture statically?
Thanks for the review content bro... it is sad that ppl aren't open to possibilities... it shows in your comments.
Nob Ody strikes again 😅
That's pretty rotten luck to get two lemons in a row!
I got my S23 Ultra yesterday and didn't have the time to get it set up so I'm still rocking my P7P. I'll be happy to finally get off of this blooming thing and pray that I'll have a much better experience with the S23U.
Keep up the awesome work! 😎
Edit: Follow up, I'm loving it! 😁
Following along these Pixel videos have been a journey, and one I've also experienced. I've purchased every Pixel flagship and I've been disappointed with each one. The range of issues span across similar issues in your journey and more with the older models as they started to age. I started to demand more and more from my phones and had to drop off daily driving at the Pixel 3. I will say the Pixel A series phones are amazing and I always buy them for my parents. The flagship Pixel phones tho work much better for me when I only use it for work, and then shut it off at the end of the day. Pixel is nice, but Google isn't ready to support a phone. Stick to Samsung or Apple if you need to demand a lot from a phone.
Thanks for sharing. Very valuable info 👍
So appreciate your videos. There’s usually one for whatever piece of tech I’m curious about.
I agree, I had a terrible time with the iPhone 13 Mini because I saw reviews that the battery lasted more than the iPhone 12. But my brother has the iPhone 12 and he has lasted 15 - 16 hours with regular use with it + games that his son plays.
My experience with the 13 Mini was abysmal when it came to the battery, I lasted a fraction of what his iPhone 12 could do. Some people said in the comments section of those battery tests, reviews and some corners of Reddit say that they've lasted a lot more than I did, and that's great.
But you're right, my experience with that phone was not what others have experienced. I switched to a regular iPhone 13 for my day to day and it has been great so far - it all comes down to personal experience.
Personal experience triumphs everythings
I knew it would come to this.
😂
I need you to be my fortune teller
@@DayoAworunse I am telling you right now, do not go pixel fold until 2nd generation...skip it or else your misery will be ten fold.
@@MN-sb4pr I see what you did there...
I am terribly sorry for your bad experiences with the phone. All that trash talk had me cracking up thanks for the heads up!
Dig that wallpaper on your mac!! Could you share the link? Also great video!! Really appreciate how you always point out the struggles faced by the end users and call out these Tech Giants to focus on these issues.
Great content. Question could you have taken it to a Google store. And exchanged it for a new one. Or if you got it through your carrier, get an exchange. Seems like they just gave you a refurbished and not a good one phone.
There's no close Google store in my state. I think the only Google stores are in New York if I'm not mistaken. I bought this from a retailer at release, so the return window is long gone I'm only stuck with juggling warranty and hoping I get a phone that works
@DayoAworunse sorry to hear that. I git my s23 ultra from T-MOBILE. Anything goes wrong, they will give me a replacement
@@jeromegold3216Of course you are paying $9 to $15 a month for insurance. Hundreds of $ later, I quit the insurance scam. I do my best to take care of my phones. Good luck.
To start off, yes, I’m a fan of Pixel phones and their potential. I’ve owned 3 Pixel phones and the common denominator is each phone had issues ranging from simple apps crashes(some specific chrome browser glitch) to major issues like atrocious battery life or overheating. I’ve been saying for years that Google is a billion dollar software company that sucks at optimizing their own software! It’s ridiculous. Google wants to run with the big dog tech smartphone makers like Apple and Samsung but they don’t care about their glorified beta phones. I had the Pixel 5a, 6, and 6a but all 3 were not reliable although the 5a using a snapdragon processor was much better than the Tensor chip based 6 series phones. The worst part of it is Google ignores major issues their Pixel phones have even when they’re well aware of the problems. They do shady things like sending people totally different phones but claim it’s the same one they repaired. They don’t even reply to customers who experience problems in social media posts but they’ll reply all day long to those singing their praises.
Bottom line, I had a similar experience on Pixels and while I love how androids have evolved the bad experiences brought me back to an iPhone. iPhones may be boring and lack customization but they are reliable for day to day real world use. Pixels aren’t reliable and you’re always one update away from doom. I’m done with Google because they shouldn’t make amateur start up company tech/software mistakes because they are a billion dollar business. Yet, they operate like a shady used car lot. It’s beyond frustrating and not worth the headache quite honestly.
You're damn right! I know iPhones are boring and all, but I've been able to use all my Apple devices (2 phones and a tablet) for over 5 years atleast, with no visits to a repair store. I just buy it, and get on with life without having to face a downtime because my device died. My Pixel 6 last me barely a couple months, before a motherboard failure, and even after fixing it, it only last 8 months before its battery bulged and screen had purple blotches.
Im using a pixel 6 pro since June 2022, it works great, no problems.
@@surendarvijay2520 You also pay a goddamn premium for what essentially is an okay phone. lmao
Nice video. Also, your animated wallpapers on the tv are amazing, where can I get them from?
Thank you, Sir. Your candor is appreciated, and refreshing. I'm sure it speaks volumes about your integrity. Subbed now.
If the racist comments came from the Pixel people, I’m not shocked at all. People will go out of their way to defend their favorite brand and they’ll stoop that low. It’s not a Google only thing. Apple and especially Samsung fanbase has been nothing but disgusting. You can be a fan of the company but don’t defend them for their faults. Sorry about those comments, you don’t deserve that. *Nobody* deserves that.
So now defending a brand is racist??? The woke is strong with you.
@@spartanpatriot3163 You have very poor sense of reading comprehension.
My comment just disappeared for some reason. Anyways, I wrote that I told you in your previous google video they would ship you a different phone with more problems. and Google is ran by AI bots so you cant expect any good customer service from a company like that.
I just checked held for review so its not flagged. Not sure where it went
@@DayoAworunse Any time you do an RMA you should try to push for a brand new device, or a full refund. The whole RMA process is usually the same for most companies where they ship you a different device that was returned for a different reason, so you almost always end up with an even worse device. I just went through this with Bambu Labs when I ordered one of their 3D printers. I knew they would ship me a refurbished device, so, I asked for refund and I just placed a new order a month later to avoid all that that.
You can turn the off without the up button by holding the power button. There's a setting to not use the power button hold as an assistant.
But you're right, my friend who has a 7P lost her volume button too. I've never had a problem with mine, except the live wallpapers failing to work.
Just started watching your videos and ive had a few pixels over the last few years since the 3a which was great especially the camera. Ive got a pixel 6 pro currently and love it again especially the camera..i did have some connection issues which ive never had before with a pixel but apparently the 6's were prone to this..Updates of android seems to eleviated it but only occasionally have to put plane mode on & off to get it to kick into 4G..Did think about the Pixel 7 pro but may jump ship and get a samsung S23 as would like a more compact phone & do like the optical zooms on these devices..Anyway keep up the good work and never be shamed about telling your experience & story about your phone..all the best from the United Kingdom..👍
I bought the Pixel 7 pro at launch and had decent battery at best and had some random display issue where they took 2 weeks to RMA it after basic troubleshooting I already did without their help. Phone got super hot and display went bad after never physically damaging it. I have a Google Pixel 4A 5G and that's a battery champ! Wtf, I got that phone refurbished from Amazon for 80 bucks!!!!
Pixel 4a is one of my favorites
@@DayoAworunse that was the budget phone that made me fall back in love with Pixel phones. Couldn't imagine the value and major use case I got out of it for no money. Traded my OG Pixel to get that for free. I was hoping your experience would get better after an RMA but we are in the same boat for different issues. What's going to be your new daily driver?
@@DayoAworunse that was before the Tensor (Exynos) shenanigans.
I have a pixel 7 pro with no issues but i know im one of the lucky ones. Customer service is horrible and i really think Google is too much in your business. The rest of the family have iphones and im amazed how good their customer service is.
I love❤ your content man keep pushing!
Good to know. Thank you for letting us know
I believe and appreciate all you have gone through with this horrible Google Pro ordeal. You have no need to justify your views. They are based on your actual experiences and, therefore, are fact-based and honest. There are always going to be some users who have had a wonderful experience with their Google devices. You will never sway these fan boys and girls. They will simply believe your troubles were of your own making. Sadly, it's human nature. Thank you for your honesty and persistence. I'm so glad I have my Galaxy S23 Ultra!
You have a very intelligent way of looking at things @beverlyspecht5306. You have to be a bright spark to be rocking an S23 Ultra. I am loving mine too!..😅😅👍
Dayo I love the fact you are 100% honest about your experience with this phone. A lot of ppl become fanboys to their product and don’t want to admit to the disappointments and issues. Thank you for being honest.
Interesting review. My sister has a pixel 7 pro, and she loves it. She had it for about 7 months now, going to ask her how it's holding up. Some of the issues you described is the same issues I had with my HTC desire phone just before that company went under as far as phones. 99.99% of people I know have Samsung and iPhone.
Most if not all tech reviewers get perfect QC units. They would get the best out of the batch whereas regular consumers would get one at random
