![]() Google has employed Tensor sorcery this time around to up the Pixel 7 Pro’s maximum zoom length to a whopping 30x. Unlike last year's Pixel 6 Pro, however, zooming way in on faraway subjects has never looked this good. However, like last year, the Pixel 7 Pro has a 48MP telephoto lens on the back. Both phones share the same 10.8MP selfie cam to go along with a 50MP wide cam and a 12MP ultra-wide lens on the back.

Thankfully, what the Pixel phones can do is far more important than what they look like. Last year’s Pixels looked fun and quirky whereas this year’s phones just kinda look like. I dig the shiny metal texture of the camera bar on this year’s phones, but I super don’t dig the removal of the two-tone colors. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are both available in obsidian and snow colors, while the Pixel 7 gets an exclusive lemongrass option and the Pixel 7 Pro similarly gets a hazel colorway. This time around, the colors are uniform across the entire phone. Last year, each Pixel 6 had slightly different colors above and below the camera bar, which not only looked unique but naturally drew the eyes to the lens array itself. Really, the only major physical change Google made this year is the removal of the two-tone color scheme that made the Pixel 6 line so easily identifiable in public. There's a shiny, glassy feel to every part of the Pixel 7 lineup. I’ve had both Pixel 7s slip and slide on softer surfaces, which isn’t fun. Don’t make that aspect of the 7 Pro a selling point, if you can help it.Įach phone's body is covered front to back in glass and I would strongly recommend alleviating that with a case. That said, after extensively using both phones for a few days, I can’t say I really noticed the refresh rate difference and I have pretty discerning eyes for that sort of thing. Refresh rates are also unchanged, with the Pixel 7 rocking a smooth 90Hz and the Pixel 7 Pro rocking an even smoother 120Hz. The Pixel 7 comes in at 6.3-inches (a tenth of an inch smaller than the Pixel 6) and the Pixel 7 Pro at 6.7-inches. The two Pixel 7 phones are also almost identical in size to their Pixel 6 counterparts. It kept the signature horizontal camera bar (which has gotten a newer, more metallic texture) that rests near the top of the phone’s backside. There's no Dynamic Island-like innovation on display here - Google mostly stuck with what worked on the Pixels 6 last time around.
