Today the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro officially go on sale, and first-day impressions are glowing. For $599 the Pixel 7 delivers a Tensor G2 chip, a dramatically improved camera system, and the cleanest Android software experience on the market. At $899, the Pixel 7 Pro adds a 5x telephoto and a QHD+ LTPO display.
Early reviewers are especially impressed by the camera improvements: Photo Unblur works remarkably well on legacy photos, and Night Sight continues to be class-leading in low-light. The new Cinematic Blur video mode adds a professional bokeh effect in real time. For everyday shooting, the Pixel 7 is arguably the best camera at its price point.
Google’s on-device AI processing is the real differentiator. Call Screen, Live Translate, and Direct My Call all run locally on the Tensor G2, offering privacy and speed that cloud-dependent competitors can’t match. Battery life on the standard Pixel 7 averages comfortably over a full day of heavy use. Starting at $599, the Pixel 7 may be the Android phone of the year.
