This refined architecture leads to ever-so-slightly faster speeds, though you will be hard-pressed to notice too many real life performance increases. ![]() We’re looking at 2x super-big ARM Cortex-X1, 2x big A78, 4x small Cortex-A55. It consists of mostly the same cores and the same super-big, big, and small structure as the chip to come before it, though the cores are clocked slightly higher. The processor, called Google Tensor G2, is a small upgrade over the first SoC the company introduced with the Pixel 6 lineup. The Pixel 7 offers 8GB of RAM coupled with either 128 or 256GB of storage, depending on which price you’re willing to pay. It’s much of the same as what we saw in the Pixel 6. The subtle screen brightness boost sets the theme for the rest of the Pixel 7 hardware. Google Pixel 7: Hardware, performance & what's in the box This is also the area that is likely to collect scratches as you're excessively rubbing your sleeve or T-Shirt over it to get rid of the lint-it sure happened to my unit. Given that on the Lemongrass and White model the visor is no longer black, the accumulation of dust and debris is very noticeable and difficult to clean, with some dirt lodging firmly in the crease. The new visor design also still loves to pick up pocket lint when you don't have a case on your phone. After about half a year of consistent use of this $30 case, I can confidently say that it holds up well and continues to look fine, even when there are likely a lot of cheaper options that are at least as good. The material also seems more robust, with a new button design looking like it will hold up longer than the older one. It's no longer transparent, alleviating the yellowing issues that plagued the Pixel 6 case. This time around, the original Google case also seems much improved. To keep your phone clean (and safe), you might want to get a case for your Google Pixel 7. In the UK, editor-in-chief James Peckham also didn’t experience any of the dreaded and often-discussed issues with Tensor connectivity. The same is true for our news editor Stephen Schenck. ![]() Our own Will Sattelberg on T-Mobile in the US, who wrote our Pixel 7 Pro review, had consistent speed and decent connectivity during his time with the Pixel 7. The Android Police team, spread across different continents with different networking environments, had much of the same experience. So far, reports from new owners seem to confirm this, with many people noting that their connection is now much better. ![]() The handset comes with an updated Samsung modem that should hopefully make matters better for those who experienced more severe problems with their units. Personally, I haven’t had any major issues with connectivity on my Pixel 6 in the year I’ve used it, and I’m happy to report the same for the Pixel 7. Here, only the Pixel 7 Pro will give you the super-fast speeds promised by mmWave 5G.Įver since Google switched to its custom Tensor SoC (and the Samsung-made modem inside it), networking issues have plagued many Pixel 6 and 6 Pro units. T-Mobile’s mmWave network isn’t compatible with the Pixel 7, though. ![]() Unlocked versions as well as those locked to Verizon and AT&T support mmWave 5G. In the US, you can get the Pixel 7 at the Google Store, your retailer of choice, and your carrier.
