Fact check: Google revealed that Tensor G2 is actually 5nm, not 4nm 👍🏾

I’m going to start calling my hardware problems “hard problems” but I will never call software solutions “soft answers.”

I still have a Pixel 5a and I love it. It honestly is all I need in a phone personally. Does everything I need it to, and is unbelievably affordable. I used to go for the Samsung flagships, and if things keep going the way they are now, I'll probably never switch back. Probably gonna snatch up the 7a when it comes out.

Love that you dedicate a slot for sustainability. Just as an upgrade, the programmed obsolescence has way more impact than the packaging. 2 years of software upgrades and 5 of security upgrades makes a more sustainable device than a few grams of recycled materials!

Pro tip for college students: what discovered this semester is Google Docs also has a built-in voice-text feature, and it works fairly good if your professor speaks loud and clear! You will have to make corrections but it might do a good enough job for you to focus on the lecture and not note taking! Wish I found this sooner on in my time of college haha

I now can't distinguish if the intro B-Roll shots of the phone are from Google or from MKBHD - incredible.

I just want to point out what a fresh breath of air your presentation and editing are. The need to content creates to have puzzled or expressive faces and a misleading thumbnail make UKposts reviews frustrating before they even start. i appreciate the clean straight forward deliver you choose and I search out your views for all things tech specifically for this reason. In my eyes, this is what makes your channel head and shoulders above most every other tech review channel.

About 3 months in and my Pixel 7 is going great. My major frustration and disappointment, the fingerprint recognition has resolved itself (magic or software upgrade?). The battery is excellent, no problem going a whole day. I changed over from an iPhone (something I thought would be daunting but it was so simple) and can't imagine ever wanting to go back. The software in this phone makes it smart in so many ways I feel it's a step ahead of the competition. Love my Pixel 7.

"But for patient Pixel people who prefer pristine programming and pretty pictures, the Pixel Pro is pretty perfect." Really liked this alliteration at the end!

The recorder app would be incredible for university students, to transcribe lectures. When I was in college I remember frantically trying to write down everything the professor said (so I could just rely on notes later and not do the reading). With this app, you don't even have to take notes anymore, and if a student asks a question, the app will even label the different speakers, so you can transcribe an entire Q&A. And transcribing is not the same as recording, so you won't be breaking any rules.

I absolutely LOVE all of the cool features of this phone, and I still haven't gone through everything yet. I was done with Samsung anyways, after almost 10 years, but it was nice that the Pixel 7 Pro was THIS amazing.

That alliteration at the end was absolutely perfect.

"Photo unblurring" was literally my final project in "image processing" course (Electrical Engineering). You basically need to find two parameters: Power - How strong is the blur, meaning - how far was the pixel moved from its original place. Angle - The angle of the pixels movement in a coordinate system There is some math going to achieve that, you have to make a Fourier transform to the image to change it into the "frequency domain", then find the angle and the length of the "strips" that you are getting from the image, and viola! you just calculated the two parameters that you need. Now you have to make another Fourier transform to return to the "time domain". With the 2 parameters you have just calculated, you can reverse the process of the blurring effect. TBH, I'm not working as a signal processing engineer, but as a DevOps Engineer :)

I love how whenever you do Apple/Google reviews you always pay homage to their ad campaigns, including the smallest details, such as colors, framing, song choices, all of it

I like the way you give accurate descriptions not just flag shipping one phone thanks.

I've always been partial towards the Galaxy S and Note lineup. Previously had the S4, Note 4, Note 7 (had to change it out to the LG V20), S8+, and the Note 10+. My Note 10+ lost video output and touch, so I had to get a new phone quickly, and went with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, to which I didn't really prefer UI-wise. so I ultimately paid the restocking fee and traded it in for the Pixel 7 Pro. I love this phone. It's simple, has no extra apps I never used from Samsung, easy to setup and personalize, and I'm excited to check out a lot of these cool features. The camera is awesome, too!

Hey, Marques. I just wanted to let you know that Tensor G2 is confirmed by Google to be built on Samsung’s 5nm process, not 4nm. Love your work.

I can’t believe it’s been five years since the Pixel 2 launched. I remember it being super unique and special for the time. Really feel old now.

As always Marques- a fantastic review. I had the Pixel 6 pro right when it came out, and I returned it within a week due to all of the issues. I was impressed with the phone and really wanted to keep it, but it was plagued with issues- especially the fingerprint scanner almost never worked even after registering the same finger multiple times. I think the optical fingerprint scanner is an issue especially during colder weather. I received my Pixel 6 pro in December. I believe the colder weather, lower humidity, lower skin hydration makes the optical sensor struggle. I find that the ultrasonic on the S21 worked better than the Pixel optical scanner in all scenarios, but also noticed that when my skin was more hydrated (warmer weather) it worked better. I also tested my theory this past winter by applying lotion at times and noticed the scanner would work better. This may explain why some people had less issues with the Pixel 6 fingerprint scanner based on time of year and location (weather). I think adding the facial recognition helps the Pixel 7, but really the Samsung ultrasonic sensor is better and also include facial recognition. Personally I feel if they brought back the capacitive sensors and placed it on the back of the phone- I would prefer those- they worked perfectly all the time. The Pixel is the more innovative, but the Samsung more practical and dependable. Also for me the 10X optical lens in the S21 is preferred since I do a lot of video and photography of my daughter performances at a distance. Thanks again for a great review!

Thank you for this! I got the Pixel 7 Pro today. I'm excited to start using all the features. I'm not great at tech. So I appreciate this video

Man the production value on the intro is unreal. Been so cool to watch the channel grow!

for patient pixel people who prefer pristine programming and pretty pictures the pixel pro is pretty perfect ✨

The last line. What an alliteration! Love your reviews macha!

After 5 years on iOS it was time to come home. Pixel 7 has sold me on Android once again.

These intro's are better than any other phone company is capable of at the moment.

Regular 7 is crazy value for the pre order package. 7 and Pixel Buds Pro for 599 is great. Also the flat screen and matte aluminium is both the better design and the more practical choice.

Great review/walk through Bro and love the word play at the end! 👍🏾💯😎

Amazing alliteration at the end! I took a chance and preordered the 7 Pro before the embargo was lifted, I'm glad to see there are no glaring problems at this point. It will be a great upgrade from my aging Pixel 4 XL.

Been refreshing my screen for this review!

Thank you for your detailed review of this phone. This really helped me decide my next phone.

Gotta appreciate these Intros!! Incredible!!

The visual voice dialing is a feature I have been LONGING for, for years now. I really hope this feature gets picked up by all smartphones soon.

The unblur feature is really impressive. It's amazing to see technology is still evolving.

Rocking with my Pixel 7 Lemongrass and enjoying it so far. Great review man.

That's some pretty good alliteration there at the end :D

The fingerprint reader is *definitely* much improved this year. Way more reliable, speed is good. It doesn't "instantly" capture your fingerprint like a supersonic reader, but it's almost as fast overall if you keep your finger there for a couple more milliseconds. Much improved over the pixel 6.

Absolutely love the alliteration at the end of the video. Pre-ordered my 7 Pro last night and this review makes me excited to receive it this weekend. I didn't experience many bugs with my 6 Pro. Hopefully my 7 Pro experience is every bit as smooth.

i enjoyed the alliteration at the end there, subtle and well executed

Great review. Just upgraded to a pixel pro after having an s10e for 4 years and I'm loving this phone !

I've been watching your videos since you convince me to buy a Nexus 5X when I joined Google Fi. As a huge fan of not just Android, but Google in general, and a former studio photography major in college, I've really loved seeing their phones evolve over the years, and it's been incredibly fascinating hearing your take on it as I've watched along. I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. I really respect you, not just for the incredible content you create, but for the person you are. You're an inspiration for a lot of your viewers, myself included, and I hope you truly know that.

The AI keeps getting better and better. I finally traded in my Pixel 2XL recently. I do miss one thing from that device......the rear finger print reader. It was so much more natural to use. Oh well!!

Coming up for a year since I changed over from an iPhone to a Pixel and I definitely have no regrets. The phone has been super reliable with no major problems except for a short period when the battery drained quickly (never to zero) but that seemed to be short-lived. I still believe the smart software that makes my Pixel such a delight to use is way in front of Apple. Love my Pixel 7.

I just bought a 7 Pro last week and its been super impressive since I got it. I love the design of the 6 and 7 and the exclusive features it has. the camera, and feel of the phone are amazing and its my first Pixel phone but not first google phone as I owned the Nexus 6P when it came out and that also was really good for its time. Im looking forward to see what google does with its pixel line and I may also invest in a pixel tablet and watch at some point. Id HIGHLY recommend the pixel to anyone looking for a premium phone. it delivers on all levels. might might be a slow charging phone for 2022 standards but the battery in my experience has been very good. I also don't play games on my phone though lol.

I'm a Pixel fan. My first all Google phone was the Nexus 6, and I've been hooked ever since. The software is really the selling point. And we're to the point where I don't really feel the need to upgrade simply for hardware every year, or every two years. As long as I'm getting software updates I'm happy.

Such an informative review of the Pixel 7 on things people care about. Really cool theme in this quick review of software solving hardware limitations. Really cool to have a tech expert perspective that is easy to follow for enthusiasts of all levels.

Just ordered the 7. I always watch your reviews for android phones.

I think it's a gorgeous looking phone I have the 6a and I love it will trade it in for the 7pro next year, it's my first time having a pixel.

I'd just like to compliment you on your very polished and genuine presentation! I can easily tell you are YOU in front of the camera and not putting on the drama robes. Polished speach, informative content, excellent review. I don't ever comment on UKposts videos btw.

09:55 LMAO marques😂😂

This was helpful, keep up the good work my good brother.

Hey Marques, I'm still using my 3Xl, and am happy with it's, pretty much everything. And though I'm stuck at android 12, the phone works perfectly. But am thinking about the 7pro. And I do like the improvements, but I still cannot overlook having no front facing stereo speakers. 😢. I realize most people use ear buds or Bluetooth speakers, but I don't like carrying extra stuff. I like hearing things out of the box. I will NEVER, spend a weeks pay, for a phone. So I will look for deals. But I do like the pixels and have used Google phones since the Nexus. All with front facing stereo speakers. And I so miss um now since the 3Xl. Good review, 👍👍

just love the mkbhd channel and the team around getting the job done for the viewers

I have a Pixel 6 and the automated call robot thing makes checking on prescriptions and dealing with doctor offices insanely easy. My mother about lost her mind when she saw it LOL.

Love my Pixel 7, definitely a big improvement over the 6. PSA, when playing some games, if you notice fps choppy then disable smooth display then start the game, it should fix the issue.

the alliteration at the end is perfect!

9:53 what did he sayyyyy

I grabbed a 6a a month or so ago (they were offering $300 trade on my old 4a5G, so got the 6a for $150). I'm very impressed with the speech-to-text with Tensor chips; its now giving a pretty decent shot at punctuation (like Marques showed in the vid).

That intro is so good!

Informative video, great content! Keep up the good work! Cheers

Man, you guys just keep making better and better intros - seriously impressive!

I feel a podcast challenge is a good test for the speech to test. Have the pixel recorder app record the podcast, or at least a segment, and see if it gets the conversation 100% with speech to text. Would be interesting to see it in that interview style setting at work!

You are awesome Marques! Great, very clear and informative review! Love your delivery! Thank you!

Wow, that Intro was excellent! Keep it up

Thank you for keeping with the sustainability segment!!

Hey MKHD, thanks for doing a sustainability section in the reviews. I really appreciate it, there's not a lot the average consumer can do but it is nice to try what we can!

You are the best at explaining things and very detailed, even though I couldn't follow you, I was very impressed by your analysis. I just got one of these phones and it's 100x more than I need. The google phtos are beyond anything I have ever seen. My Apple friends always want to see them.

Your thoughts in the beginning of the video about hardware upgrades as opposed to software was spot on.

You and your team have come a long way man. Keep up the great work, the intros be so good 💯

Battery life is my biggest concern and looks like Google handled that. Nice!

That outro was pretty awesome.

I bought the 6 pro on release and have been dealing with bugs since launch. 5Ge speeds being slower then LTE. Google maps and drive mode wigging out every time I multitask. Battery life was also an issue. Granted I'm a power user and, I use my phone for work, but It never lasted me more then 6 hours on middling brightness with battery save turned on. I just hope these issues are fixed.. I'm still hesitant to upgrade for such little changes

9:28 thank you so much for this side-by-side 10x comparison, I've been waiting to see exactly this to decide between those two

"For patient pixel people, who prefer pristine programming and pretty pictures, the Pixel Pro is pretty perfect." Love that

Great video. Thanks.

Thanks for the review 👍🏻

Love your reviews, MKBHD! It's been a long time since that laptop/ad for Intel and Lenovo or whatever it was. I may be getting my first smartphone soon, and it will probably be a Pixel Pro, just because it's the best at some things and I know I'd use a high-performance, extra-smart smartphone 🙂

My three favorite channels: Marques Brownlee, Stock Brotha, & UrAvgConsumer. Make my week complete!

Amazing alliteration and, as always, awesome articulation!

Honestly I did not think I wanted to swap phones but the Pixel 7 here in sweden atm is on such a good deal that I might upgrade from my OP 7t Pro that now in the latest month been acting weird. I just needed to rewatch this review to be sure.

Amazing alliteration at the end! A+

As an iPhone user, this is the first Pixel that seems to be a compelling option. The software features and design make it seem really impressive! Great video!

Great quality review as always - having gotten the phone I noticed that the screen has really washed out colours when compared to other phones or a colour calibrated monitor. There's a big thread on Reddit and on the Google Pixel forums but Google has not confirmed it yet. Would have been great for us users if you guys (YT reviewers) would have mentioned it as this is the only way Google would have acted - e.g. how they responded to the Pixel 2 display fiasco.

Thanks for this excellent video about the Pixel 7 Pro, it has been instrumental in me buying one - especially for the 50mp camera - the photos are good but none of them come out at 50mp - usually 12.5mp with very small file sizes - I contacted the help link in the camera settings, and wonderfully they rang me straight away - an amazing service - the lady explained that the 50mp photos are automatically compressed to 12.5mp when you look at them. They look good on my screen but for printing I think the small file sizes are a real contraint. Does anyone know of a workaround ?

I love my P7! Great Video man keep up the great work! 👊🏿

Great review as always. I'm a huge lover of the Pixel phones. I hope they are around for a while.

I don't particularly like google but 4:16 sold me. I would totally get a Pixel if it had competitive hardware.

I moved from a Pixel 2 to an iPhone 13PM last year. I really miss the Pixel and the way some things just worked fluidly. But I'm also enjoying the Apple ecosystem, as it gels in with my work Mac and the other Apple devices my family uses pretty well.

just upgraded from my 4 year old pixel 3xl to a pixel 7. fantastic upgrade, love it.

Pixel 4a is still doing a very decent job for me. Will see what Pixel 8 has to offer when it comes out next year.

The way you ended this.... Without smiling.... Someone get this dude an academy award or something! 😂🤣 Nailed it sir. As always.

I currently have the Google pixel 4a. But recently I have had so many issues, that I'm unsure if I'll bother with another Google phone right now. I mean overheating, freezing, restarting, and issues with my camera. This phone looks promising but I think I'll shop around a bit first.

can i just say that this intro might be my favorite intro you’ve ever had on one of your videos? it was so aesthetically pleasing oh my god

My 7 Pro arrived a few hours ago, and so far I am very impressed. Such a huge upgrade to my old Pixel 4, I thought the camera app had bugged out at first, turns out it was updating in the Play Store, once all updates had been installed, I am yet to encounter any strange bugs which is great

I preordered the Pixel 7 pro despite having an S21+. It came with 10% off, 350$ in google store credit (nearly free pixel watch) and 470$ additionally off for giving them my current phone. Haven't had a Google phone since the 3XL. I'm looking forward to it.

Users would really appreciate if you could compare a hardware heavy phone like vivo x90 pro plus with software centric android phone like the pixel 7 pro to let know what the user should be going with given their requirements so that they make a clear decision on what they should be getting as their daily driver.

Pixel is pretty perfect and your videos are amazing. Thanks for your hard work over the years. You are the man!

I really like Google‘s approach with these phones. The future-oriented features thanks to the tensor chips for a competitive price especially with the Pixel 7 is a really great deal. The mix of great photos enhanced with AI and the rest of the AI stuff is probably one of the highest ranked points on the wish list of the everyday consumer. Great work!

Great review! Thank you for this good honest review with pros and cons including new features of the Google Pixel 7 series. I just got a Google Pixel 7 Pro after turning in my Google Pixel 3LX. I'm really enjoying my Google Pixel 7 Pro atm. Looking forward to seeing more content from the UKposts channel.

dude this is one of the hardest mkbhd intros ive seen

The intro was crazy
