Editor Rating
4.3/5

The Google Pixel 7 sits between the top-tier Pixel 7 Pro, and the upcoming Pixel 7A, as the entry-level flagship smartphone offering from the popular brand. It gets the latest gen Google Tensor chipset, along with all the special software enhancements that are limited to the Pixel lineup. The only things you miss out on are the bigger display, larger battery, and the dedicated telephoto lens, which enables hardware-based super zoom capabilities. But that is a compromise you have to make for a more affordable Pixel smartphone.

Bottom Line

The Pixel 7 is the more affordable version of the flagship Pixel series smartphones from Google, which features all the great software goodies, but skimps out on the telephoto lens and zoom capabilities.

Pros

  • Affordable Price
