I notice a much larger gap between the Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro here. Wrapping up the outdoor comparison, I took a picture of this part of New York City at night without either phone’s night mode active. The shot looks a bit too cool, whereas the Pixel 7 Pro captured a welcome and inviting warmness that I prefer given the weather conditions on the day I took these pictures. The white flowers, for example, look on the verge of overexposure. That said, I once again see the Photonic Engine getting a little aggressive in the background. The iPhone 14 Pro did an equally nice job. I really like how the Pixel 7 Pro captured the plants and the faded auto paint, not to mention the flowers and pumpkins in the background. In this photo of a broken down Beetle, the images are once again nearly identical in terms of detail and dynamic range. Brighter is good, for sure, but Apple’s first round on the Photonic Engine is a bit aggressive here. To my eye, the iPhone 14 Pro loses some detail in the stairs’ rust, whereas the grittier Pixel shot (given the overcast day) looks richer. The brightness level stands as an immediate difference between the two. However, you can see Apple’s Photonic Engine on display here.
Just look at the grain and cracks in the wood, the paint chips, the roughness of the stone, and striations in the stars. On that front, the two phones are pretty equal. Starting off with this wall of metal stars, I love the rich detail in both images captured by the Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro. The Pixel 7 Pro goes head-to-head with the iPhone 14 Pro (at $100 less), so that’s what I brought out for comparisons.
FOTOMAGICO PIXEL DIMENSIONS UPDATE
An update seems to have fixed the issue for a few. In part this could be because of the snappy 120Hz refresh rate on the screen. The reports claim that scrolling on the display is inconsistent and is especially noticeable when upgrading from an older Pixel. Some users have recently reported scrolling issues on the Pixel 7 Pro.
Google appears to have taken that into consideration this year, because the Pixel 7 Pro is significantly and noticeably brighter. I didn’t mind the Pixel 6 Pro’s display, but I found it a bit lacking in brightness for outdoor use. The Pixel 7 Pro sports a 6.7-inch OLED display with a QHD+ resolution. You can read about how our News Editor had a hard time using the Pixel 7 Pro without a cover. I suppose I can hold out hope for a grippier Pixel 8 Pro. This was something I’d hoped Google would address this year since the Pixel 6 Pro had the same issue, but shiny and slippery seems to be the name of the game for Pro Pixels. Whereas the Pixel 7 unit I received in the Lemongrass colorway has some grip along the frame, the new Pro likes to slide out of my hand or off of slightly unlevel surfaces.
If I had to lodge one complaint against the Pixel 7 Pro’s hardware, it’d be that it’s a slippery device. Whether it’s the metal camera bar that seamlessly blends into the frame or the prominent camera lenses that immediately draw your eye, the Pixel 7 Pro is a beautiful device in all three of its color options. You can clearly see the design language that Google introduced last year, but the company refined it to a T for 2022. Let’s take a moment to admire the Pixel 7 Pro, especially the Hazel colorway I received for review. It’s available through all major carriers as well as retail sites like Amazon and Best Buy. The Pixel 7 Pro launches to general availability on October 13.
FOTOMAGICO PIXEL DIMENSIONS PLUS
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus don’t even have telephoto lenses or adaptive 120Hz displays. Yet, Google’s handset offers more than those phones, such as a telephoto lens with a 5x optical zoom. You simply get more storage for your buck with the Pixel 7 Pro.Įven lower on the totem pole, the Pixel 7 Pro is only $100 more than the Galaxy S22 and iPhone 14, $100 less than the Galaxy S22 Plus, and the same price as the iPhone 14 Plus. That’s a great value considering the likes of the Galaxy S22 Ultra ($1,199), iPhone 14 Pro ($999) and iPhone 14 Pro Max ($1,099) all feature 128GB in their base models. The Pixel 7 Pro starts at $899 / £849 / AU$1,299 for a base model with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Google Pixel 7 Pro review: Price and availability
