![]() ![]() Given its lower price, it makes sense that the Pixel 7’s screen is both smaller and lower resolution than its more expensive Pro-branded sibling but there’s still a lot to like. It can’t charge the new Pixel Watch, though, since that devices doesn’t support wireless charging. ![]() It also supports 20W wireless charging via any Qi-compatible charger and it can reverse power share with other devices such as the Google Pixel Buds Pro. ![]() The Google Pixel 7 is rated at a maximum charging speed of 30W and, in my testing, I found it went from zero to 50% in just over 30 minutes. It’s also worth noting that Google doesn’t supply a wall charger in the box, providing only a 1m USB-C to USB-C cable and nothing else. Sadly, like last year, there’s no room for a microSD card to expand this and it lacks a dual nanoSIM slot. Introduced in the Pixel 6, the horizontal Geordi La Forge-style rear camera bar reappears but it looks a bit different this year, with the two rear cameras now enclosed in a separate pill-shaped enclosure next to the LED flash unit.Īs I mentioned earlier, the base storage is 128GB or you can pay a bit extra for 256GB of internal space.

Google Pixel 7 review: Design and key features For the same price as the iPhone 14 ( £849), this gets you an extra 5x telephoto zoom camera, plus a big 6.7in display with a higher QHD+ resolution and a faster refresh rate of 120Hz. Of course, there’s also the Pixel 7 Pro to consider. It’s not just Apple, either: the Galaxy S22 may have dropped in price in recent times but is still floating around the £650 mark. To put that into context, the iPhone 14, which didn’t earn a recommendation in our review, starts at a massive £849 – that’s £150 more than the Pixel 7. Not only that, but the Pixel 7 is one of the cheapest flagship handsets on the market, going for a mere £599 for the 128GB model and £699 for the 256GB version. With manufacturing costs spiralling and phone makers adjusting prices with every new release, Google is doing the opposite and isn’t asking for any extra money this year.

The small 6.3in AMOLED display on the front has a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 (FHD+), refreshes at 90Hz and supports HDR10+ video playback. ![]()
