Google Pixel 7 Pro: If there has been one type of smartphone that has truly blended intelligent software with stunning camera performance, it’s been the Pixel series by Google.
The Pixel 7 Pro, the 2022 flagship phone from the tech giant, carries that legacy forward, with slick design, excellent AI smarts in the camera, and one of the best Android experiences that money can buy.
But in a market teeming with feature-laden options from Samsung, Apple and others, is the Pixel 7 Pro the best bet in 2025? Let’s take a deep dive.
Design and Build: Slim, Solid, and the Pixel We Know_ANYMODYNAMIC_ollapsedYNAMIC_ayrollslippines Love em or hate em, Googles latest Pixels are one of the few remaining high-end Android phones to not feature a notched display.
The Pixel 7 Pro is not a showy device, but it does attract attention with its clean lines, curved glass, and uniquely styled aluminum camera bar around the rear.
Comes in elegant colours such as Obsidian, Snow, and Hazel – looks sophisticated without being in-your-face.
It’s also durably constructed, with Gorilla Glass Victus glass on the front and rear, a polished aluminum frame and IP68 dust- and water-resistance.
At 212g or so, it’s a little bit on the heavy side, but premium and well-balanced in the hand.
Display: A Visual Treat
On the front, there’s that stunning 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display. Featuring a QHD+ resolution (1440 x 3120 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate, everything is smooth as butter, whether you’re scrolling through those social media feeds or watching HDR content.
The screen conveniently adapts to 10Hz-120Hz, saving battery when the peak turn up wasn’t required.
Colours are rich without being too much, contrast is impressively punchy and screen legibility in bright sunlight is good.
Whether you’re bingeing, gaming or reading, that screen is just easily one of the best in its class.
Performance: Smart, Not Fast (It’s Better This Way)
Rather than chasing benchmark numbers, Google is zeroing in on intelligent performance.
The Pixel 7 Pro runs Google’s custom Tensor G2 chip designed for seamless multitasking, on-the-fly translation, voice typing, and AI-powered photography.
With 12GB RAM and storage that goes up to 512GB, it can take anything from gaming to editing in its stride.
Everyday operation is fluid, and the experience is consistent between apps thanks to a stock Android 13 interface, which is clean, smooth and not bogged down with bloatware.
Cameras: Still the King of Computational Photography
This is where the Pixel 7 Pro really excels. It comes with Avenger-spec camera specs including a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide, 48MP 5x telephoto lens all powered along by Google’s prowess in image processing software.
Its daylight photos are sharp and color-accurate, and its night images are stunning in their low-light detail and Night Sight performance.
The telephoto lens captures sharp zoom shots at 10x or further, while the ultra-wide sensor offers versatility when shooting landscapes and group photos.
Video performance has improved dramatically as well, the cameras are capable of 4K at 60fps and stabilization is impressive.
Front Cam There’s also has 10.8MP for good selfies, video call and others.
Software: Neat, Helpful, and Future-Proof
Featuring Android 13, the Pixel 7 Pro has a clean, ad-free experience. Google’s smarts appear in more places too — from real-time transcription to voice message summarization, spam call filtering to the magic eraser in Google Photos.
You also receive three years of Android updates and five years of security patches, which makes it one of the longest-supported Android phones.
Battery and charging: Decent, not best-in-class
The 5000mAh battery lasts all day under moderate to heavy use. It may not be a two-day champ, but it gets the job done.
Charging is limited to 23W wired and 23W wireless, which is slow compared to rivals who ship with 80W or more. But it’s sufficient to take you from 0 to 50 percent in around half an hour.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
Superlative camera system with the best image processing periods
Beautiful QHD+ OLED panel with adaptive refresh rate
Pure, bloat-free Android connecting to the world through long term updates.
Intelligent AI applications enabled by Tensor G2
Well built with IP68.
Cons:
Slightly lower charging speed compared to the competition
So on paper, Tensor G2 isn’t the fastest chip
A bit chunky and slippery with no case
Pricier than some phones with similar specs
Google Pixel 7 Pro: Final Verdict
The Pixel 7 Pro is not looking to win a specs war — it wants to win where it matters. A stunning camera, a buttery-smooth display, smart software and a design that’s part classy, part comfy means it’s still one of the very best Android experiences in 2025.
If you prioritize good photography, software support, and smart features over specs and shiny gimmicks, the Pixel 7 Pro remain one of the most satisfying handsets you can buy.
