Taking Google’s Pixel 6a for a test drive after extensively using the Pixel 6 as my daily-driver for the past 9 months was a comfortable, smooth ride – unsurprisingly. Right out of the box, the smaller form-factor and lighter weight immediately relieved my palm of the arduous heft that is now common to today’s flagship phablets from the big three handheld device manufacturers. Compared to the Pixel 6, the 6a feels much more natural to handle and easier to navigate, as opposed to the ‘top-heavy’ feeling from the larger and longer screens associated with the top-tier premium smartphones. The lack of bulk comes at a small price in the reduced megapixel camera, lesser RAM, and smaller storage; but make no mistake, this phone does almost everything its older, more ... MoreTaking Google’s Pixel 6a for a test drive after extensively using the Pixel 6 as my daily-driver for the past 9 months was a comfortable, smooth ride – unsurprisingly.

The lack of bulk comes at a small price in the reduced megapixel camera, lesser RAM, and smaller storage; but make no mistake, this phone does almost everything its older, more powerful, bigger brothers can do. Snappy and as responsive as you’d expect Google’s newest flagship line to perform. Out of the package, the new G2 Tensor chip paired with the Android 12 operating system, stands to outperform almost every competitor’s phone in the equivalent price-range. As of this review, after the initial setup, a notification popped up to upgrade to the latest operating system: Android 13. The only feature that I actually do miss in this iteration, is the ability to charge the device wirelessly. Not a big issue for some, though many of my chargers, including my nightly charging stand, are wireless. This is due to the lack of a glass back, of which, both of the other Pixel’s in the 6a’s generation contain. This, however, leads to the lighter weight and increased portability of this incredibly capable smartphone. The battery life seems to be an improvement over the more memory intensive models out there, and I routinely get a full day of regular usage, winding down to around 55% just before bedtime, despite having a smaller milliamp/hour capacity. All in all, a great choice, and the perfect price-point for the opportunity to step into this generation’s line-up of exceptional Pixel smartphones.

Like a few smart gadget enthusiasts, I have a multi-platform/cross-platform smart network in my home alongside my Google Home devices; newer/latest, +older, and legacy 'non-smart' electronic devices; lights, speakers, cameras, etc. I have older 'smart tvs' and a new one I got this year. If you are just going to use the common default apps for tv/movie streaming services on your smart tv - you may find that you do not need this device. Your latest smart tv will pretty much have similar services and apps. The home interface between the smart tv default vs Google TV is very similar - so no issues there. However, I find that Google understands voice commands better - it was easier to tell it what to do and it does it correctly; the other ones just frustrate me.

There is an issue with my smart TV that is resolved when using the Google TV Chromecast. The issue with the sleep functionality - the default is set to turn off the TV after 15-20 minutes - and turning off the sleep functionality is not available on settings and even if you follow known solutions, it may still not work on the device - the steps can be so cumbersome - tinkering with the TVs developer options. It was a great relief to find that this is not a problem with the Chromecast device. It was really frustrating when I pause what I am watching, and find that I have do something, I come back and the TV is turned off and I lose where and what I am watching; and when using my tv to play digital music files (MP3, etc) available in my local network - after 4-5 songs - it turns off - it cannot play indefinitely. Sometimes I just want my TV on - even on the home screen - especially for longer than 20 minutes - while I decide what to do next. Also, what I like about the Chromecast device is that it can travel with me - my work laptop is secured and I avoid using it for 'personal' data. I also find that it is easier to cast my computer/PC while the Google Chromecast device. I have been using my new smart tv without the Chromecast device for 5 months, and when I connected and used the Google Chromecast - I find it overall better. And even more great is I can use the Chromecast device to upgrade my older TVs and it will not cost me a brand new TV. I am still getting used to the remote that came with the device, the volume control is on the side and not on the face of the remote; also it does not have buttons for 'shortcuts' to my most used apps - not a showstopper.

After using a non-Android phone for about six months, I was anxious to end my suffering. I read about electronic devices for a living, and the Pixel 7 series caught my attention as soon as it was announced. Seeing the positive press about the new devices and seeing how happy my wife and mother are with their Pixel 6s, I decided the 7 Pro would be my next phone.

Seeing the positive press about the new devices and seeing how happy my wife and mother are with their Pixel 6s, I decided the 7 Pro would be my next phone. Unlike my previous phone choice, I definitely made the right call this time. Even though smartphones are phones, I don't think people pay much attention to that essential functionality when choosing a device. People, myself included, often prefer other forms of communication because of the pain points involved with making phone calls, particularly when calling businesses and getting stuck going through a seemingly endless series of menu options, only to be put on hold. I am thankful that Google has put effort to improving the experience with Direct My Call and Hold For Me to make calling businesses less painful. On a related note, the spam filtering and call screening features also work well. One of the biggest the features I pay attention to when purchasing a phone is the camera, and the Pixel excels in this regard. The images are sharp and the colors are accurate. While I predominantly use the main shooter, the wide angle with macro mode and the telephoto lens are great to have. The photos in daylight are wonderful, but where the Pixel truly differentiates itself is in lowlight situations. The ability for night sight to pick up colors and details barely visible to the naked eye is seriously impressive. The additional AI features with the camera, such as magic eraser and unblur, are also nice additions. The Pixel 7 Pro is a nice looking phone that feels well made. I typically opt for black phones, but I really like the Hazel color to change things up. While looks are important, comfort is more so. Google chose rounded edges that make the phone comfortable to hold rather than straight sides with sharp edges that make it uncomfortable in the hand like my previous phone. The screen is large, sufficiently bright, and the curved glass give it a nice feel. Speaking of feel, I was concerned that the phone's size would mean I wouldn't be able to use it with one hand, but its slim and rounded design actually mean I mostly use it with one hand for things like web browsing and typing. As for the operating system, I am a big fan of Android and the attention Google pays to user experience, with its customizability and excellent notifications system. However, it would be nice if there was an option to remove the search bar from the bottom of the home screen, but this is not a big deal. Setup and moving all of my apps, messages, photos, calendar, etc from my old device to the Pixel was very straightforward and quick, allowing my to be up and running on it in about 20 minutes. The battery lasts me a full day with average use, as expected, and the charging speed is about average. Improving the battery life and supporting higher-speed charging are areas for improvement, but the current battery life and charging speed do not take away from the experience. I understand Google did not design the Tensor 2 chip to be the most powerful mobile processor on the market, but I have found it to perform well in day-to-day use, such as rendering websites and moving between apps. I am not a gamer, so I cannot comment on how it performs in that regard. In all, I am very pleased with the Pixel 7 Pro and foresee getting years of use out of it.

The Pixel 7 Pro is my first android phone in a long time but not my first pro level smartphone of the year and I found it to be a good phone. The phone is large but still narrow enough to fit in my hands well. The curved screen makes the phone very modern but it does get getting used to when holding because I found myself accidentally swiping by just having a finger accidentally touch the edge while holding it. It also makes finding a case to truly protect the edges difficult. I think a sticky case is essential for this case to be comfortable to hold without fear of dropping it. The camera takes good photos and the screen is really crisp. The operating system does take time to learn and is not as intuitive but it is amazing to have so much customization available. ... MoreThe Pixel 7 Pro is my first android phone in a long time but not my first pro level smartphone of the year and I found it to be a good phone. The phone is large but still narrow enough to fit in my hands well. The curved screen makes the phone very modern but it does get getting used to when holding because I found myself accidentally swiping by just having a finger accidentally touch the edge while holding it. It also makes finding a case to truly protect the edges difficult. I think a sticky case is essential for this case to be comfortable to hold without fear of dropping it. The camera takes good photos and the screen is really crisp. The operating system does take time to learn and is not as intuitive but it is amazing to have so much customization available. The Obsedian color is basically the black colorway for the phone. The camera bar and side edgings are a dark gray aluminum, while the back and edge of the screen is black. It is the classic and safe color choice that looks nice even if not particularly eye-catching. I am glad it is a true black and not just an off black or dark grey. The black does tend to show a lot of smudges but I think it really needs a case so the color doesn’t matter much. Perhaps not new to veteran Pixel and android users but refreshingly to me as a new android user is that this phone uses USB-C. We are finally moving toward some uniformity which hopefully will reduce the number of cables and chargers. The phone comes with a USB-C to USB-C charging wire but no charging brick. As expected, there isn’t a headphone jack, which is annoying when I own several wired headphones and an adapter is just not as good or convenient. I found the battery to be fine and decent but not amazing. It can last all day with regular use but I do have to charge it midafternoon with heavier use and anticipate being out and about at night. There weren't any surprise drops in the battery. On the other hand, I have become used to very little drop in battery with heavier pro level phones that I don’t find the battery on the Pixel Pro 7 to be that impressive. I suppose the battery is one of the compromises for a lightweight phone. That being said, the battery is not at all terrible and much better than those of the past. The phone is fast and I didn’t have any issues with lagging. It can open applications relatively fast and is smooth. I did find that the phone runs slightly warm especially when playing video, games or wireless charging. After the initial few days, the phone didn’t run as warm anymore but it is still running slightly warm during certain extended uses. I have only used it during moderate chilly weather so it is not clear what will happen during the summer or in winter climates. Overall, the Pixel 7 Pro is a good android phone and an excellent choice if you are an android user. I don’t think it is the best pro level phone but it is really great for this operating system.
I'm no tech expert, but I do know what I like and don't like in a phone, and I need a phone that takes good photos since I rely on it solely as my camera. The Google Pixel 7 fits the bill well for the cost of $599 (lower than my Galaxy S21) and is pretty impressive for the pricepoint. I'm historically a Samsung user so this is my first Google phone. Basic functions, like trying to go 'back' to a page or screen can take some getting used to, but after a day or two it's second nature. Google provides lots of helpful tutorials and links via email to helpful how to videos to get you started (should you need it). Startup is fairly smooth and simple, and overall operation of the phone is very intuitive. The design of the phone is really sleek and has a high end feel with ... MoreI'm no tech expert, but I do know what I like and don't like in a phone, and I need a phone that takes good photos since I rely on it solely as my camera.

Basic functions, like trying to go 'back' to a page or screen can take some getting used to, but after a day or two it's second nature. Google provides lots of helpful tutorials and links via email to helpful how to videos to get you started (should you need it). Startup is fairly smooth and simple, and overall operation of the phone is very intuitive. The design of the phone is really sleek and has a high end feel with the back glass panel and metal camera frame. My complaint here is that depending on the type of case you get, the camera 'block' can get in the way of wireless charging if it stands the back of your phone too far away from the charger. Battery life is just average in my opinion. You'll need a charge by night after medium to heavy use, but I'm used to this. Camera is really great, no suprise given Google's reputation for a good camera. I will say I still like my s21's camera better, so if that's a driving factor I might upgrade to the Pixel 7 Pro. The basic 7 takes really clear and sharp photos that are more true in color to real life settings; I can especially see a difference in night mode vs my S21. Camera interface and the time it takes inbetween shots seems a little sluggish, but maybe I'm due for a software upgrade (the Pixel is so scheduled to be the first to get Android updates at least for a few years, so I have read). It includes some nice editing features that are fun to play around with. My complaints for camera are no macro mode for super up close shots, and the wide angle lens isn't quite as wide as my previous phone. The geosphere (360 degree) photo setting is definitely fun to play around with though, and not something I've seen yet on other phones. Overall, the Pixel 7 definitely delivers at a mid range cost. Great, sharp camera with lots of features, sophisticated design and smooth , intuitive operating system. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone not wanting to spend $800+ on a good smartphone.
I am impressed with my new Pixel 7 Pro, this has so many great features! Out of the box it is simple to setup and get running. It feels lightweight, yet extremely durable. The materials used are top-notch and the design is perfectly suited for both casual and hard-core users. I have found the call quality to be easy to hear on my end and be understood by the receiver. There are many ways to adjust the settings to your personal liking. I didn't care for how letters show up because they are a little larger than I'm accustomed to, so I switched to a new font size. The differential in lighting is a vast improvement from anything I've experienced. It provides illumination that is easier on my eyes, yet more distinctive. Taking pictures has brought me renewed joy, I think ... MoreI am impressed with my new Pixel 7 Pro, this has so many great features! Out of the box it is simple to setup and get running.

I can get caught up in tweaking the different filters and effects, but thankfully this provides some amazing presets that provide professional looking photos. The battery life is phenomenal, I tend to spend more time on my phone than most people and have noticed the impressive duration as a noticeable quality. I can easily communicate through the keyboard and perform menial tasks with ease, making my necessary responsibilities quick to complete. It frees me up to have more fun and explore different ways to enjoy my device. The processor is fast and I feel this phone is super responsive. I've let a few close friends play around with it and everyone has been complimenting it so far. I would highly recommend this phone to others!
I got this phone over two weeks ago and have truly been impressed by everything from the screen resolution, responsiveness of the OS, image quality and image editing features, and the uniqueness of the design of the device. You can read all the reviews online about the features in more depth and detail but I have to say this phone hits the spot. The image quality is remarkable. Even better is the ability to edit photos after the fact by adding a portrait blur, unblurring images, or using the magic eraser. The magic eraser is probably one of the coolest photo editing features I've experienced in a while. You simply circle/highlight the area of an existing photo you want removed and voila, it's gone! Additionally, the unblur feature is really neat too.

The magic eraser is probably one of the coolest photo editing features I've experienced in a while. You simply circle/highlight the area of an existing photo you want removed and voila, it's gone! Additionally, the unblur feature is really neat too. If your hands aren't steady and the image seems blurry or distorted - you can "unblur" the photo, which also works surprisingly well. I also haven't used Android OS since it's infancy and am truly impressed with how snappy and responsive this phone is when opening/closing apps or changing pages on your home screen, etc. The OS is uncluttered and visually attractive. The Pixel 7 Pro is also devoid of any bloatware that carriers or manufacturers may add to other devices. The screen itself is remarkably clear and bright and doesn't ghost. The response time of the screen may be less than some other devices, but it was plenty fine for me. There are reviews talking about how the battery is unimpressive - I'm not sure what those reviewers were doing but if you use your phone for work (e.g., Outlook, Teams) and personal (e.g., Instagram, Reddit, texting) - I can tell you I get about 18-20 hours of life before needing to charge it. Also another cool set of features is how you unlock the phone - you can set it up to recognize your face or if you're wearing a mask or something you can also use the under screen fingerprint reader. Both ways of unlocking your phone are fast and I find it convenient to be able to use the finger print reader as I travel often and sometimes that requires wearing a mask. Overall, I've truly been impressed by this phone. I tried hard to think of something negative to say since everything above is so positive but I couldn't think of any complaints. I truly enjoy using this phone and recommend it highly to anyone in the market for a phone that is feature rich that will bring some enjoyment to your life in an area that's been stagnant for some time.
I have been using the Google Pixel 7 pro for the past couple weeks or longer now. I must say this immaculate, phone is pretty impressive and I’m excited to tell You all about it.

The Google 7 Pro is Powered by Google Tensor G2, which is super fast and secure, has an immersive display, an amazing battery life that can last over 24 hours! The Pixel 7 Pro photo and camera features are super impressive (an happen to be, one of My favorite features). The camera is the most advanced to date, (with offering the Tripple Camera System Telephoto & Wide Lens), an takes the best quality photo’s and video’s, to date from a pixel! I love that the triple camera system captures photos from a distance with the 5x telephoto lens and up to 30x Super Res zoom. Night Sight Captures starry skies and even portraits in low light with Night Sight. Of course, the Cinematic Blur option offers more of a dramatic video quality. The Macro Focus (is only available on Pixel 7 Pro), makes even the tiniest subjects look extraordinary. Real Tone represents the nuances of more skin tones beautifully, authentically, and more accurately. An the Magic Eraser removes distractions in just a tap. Whether You are looking to update or upgrade Your phone, I really recommend the Google 7 Pro! It’s a durable, well thought out designed phone, with excellent, super fast 5G technology, amazing high quality camera/video features, top of the line with IP68 protection, to survive if dropped in clean water (up to a depth of 6 meters, for up to 30 minutes). The Live Translate- allows You to interpret face-to-face conversations in 48 languages, chat in real time. Now, let’s talk protection, Google is looking out for their Customers with the Titan M2 chip and the Google Tensor security core protection. The multiple layers of security protection, as well as extra layer of hardware security protection.
The Google Nest Doorbell (wired version of the 2nd second generation) has several significant and marked improvements from its predecessor, and is poised to improve the Google Home experience once the Google software catches up. What I found to be an especially wonderful touch is that despite the second generation device being smaller than the first, the mounting holes are reused. As someone who tries to minimize the impact of my improvements, this is a very thoughtful touch in the design process. Starting with the hardware, I immediately noticed that the camera quality has been improved quite substantially from my generation one doorbell thanks to the inclusion of HDR. Nighttime footage during low light looks detailed while daytime footage is no longer washed out. ... MoreThe Google Nest Doorbell (wired version of the 2nd second generation) has several significant and marked improvements from its predecessor, and is poised to improve the Google Home experience once the Google software catches up.

As someone who tries to minimize the impact of my improvements, this is a very thoughtful touch in the design process. Starting with the hardware, I immediately noticed that the camera quality has been improved quite substantially from my generation one doorbell thanks to the inclusion of HDR. Nighttime footage during low light looks detailed while daytime footage is no longer washed out. Wonderful. New is that Google has transitioned from a widescreen picture to a more vertical orientation. I noticed on my first day what I had been missing! The vertical orientation lends to seeing packages and getting a full view of your visitors instead of a wide view of the low value background. This improvement alone is worth the upgrade. Cosmetically, the slim profile is very modern looking and I receive comments about it from curious guests quite often. Responding to an alert brings up video nearly instantly and is far more swift than similar products I have experienced. Because this device is wired, concern about battery health during extreme temperatures is thankfully a thing of my past. For example, my Ring 4th generation would regularly fail in extremely cold temperatures. The only place that I feel needs some work still is Google Home itself, which is not as refined or organized as Apple’s HomeKit. I understand that major updates are imminent, which is great, and I would never fault a hardware device for the greater ecosystem that it serves. Overall, I am extremely happy with this doorbell and am proud to include it in my ever evolving smart home setup. The quality of the device is so apparent using it and it truly is a pleasure every use. A subscription is necessary to reap the true benefits of the device, but the (cheap) price is well worth it.
I finally upgraded from my OnePlus 6 (almost 5 years old!) after it finally died after much abuse. The Pixel 7 seemed like a tremendous amount of value to me. The camera is excellent, even in low light, although the image processing ends up being too contrasty for my taste. The speakers sound very good in landscape mode although I feel like when talking to someone on speakerphone the speakers are not loud enough. The fingerprint sensor works pretty well, although I wish it were on the back like my old phone. The system is fast and responsive although sometimes it lags or stutters switching between applications with a lot of memory usage. The exterior is an absolutely stunning pale mint julep. At first I wasn't a huge fan but the color has grown on me, especially in ... MoreI finally upgraded from my OnePlus 6 (almost 5 years old!) after it finally died after much abuse.

The system is fast and responsive although sometimes it lags or stutters switching between applications with a lot of memory usage. The exterior is an absolutely stunning pale mint julep. At first I wasn't a huge fan but the color has grown on me, especially in natural light, where it's much more green than yellow. My only complaint is I can't get the face unlock to set up correctly -- I've tried in two different lighting situations and couldn't get past the first prompt. I don't really need it so I'm not going to bother with it. Overall build quality feels high and very nice elegant design decisions around the bezel and speaker orifice. Looks sexy with a translucent matte case. Took a little getting used to some of the gestures such as swiping left for back although swiping left does feel much more intuitive now. The switch between applications gesture from the bottom is also difficult to differentiate from the swipe up to see all the apps, but I'm getting better. Overall, I love this phone -- it was a good value, beautiful design and color, feels fast and the screen is ultra sharp and bright. I hope it will last another 5 years.
