Google Pixel 7 Pro Long Term Review after using it as my daily driver for the past 8 months, from October 2022 to July 2023 & how it competes with the iPhone...
I do agree with In Depth Tech Reviews’ overall sentiment as a pixel 7 pro user. Personally, I have different gripes for it.
I did this with the S21+ to the Pixel 7, and currently on a S23+ if that tells you anything. I’m not even a huge fan of what Samsung does, but the hardware works.
The Pixel 7 had such a great software experience when it worked, but the dropped calls and losing signal in areas where I previously had signal, was enough to get me to quit. Sadly, the rumors have the Pixel 8 using the same modem so I doubt it will be a better experience.
It had one really good use case for me: 4wd maps. I use an app called Hema Explorer for my offroading, and it’s not supported in Android Auto. Having a larger screen for these maps made life a lot easier, rather than trying to securely mount a tablet somewhere.
I see! I can’t imagine myself ever using it for that purpose, anyway, not that I was especially interested in a foldable in the first place, but I’m glad you found something that works for you!
Well, I thought I had, until I had repeat issues requiring I send it back under warranty three times, then I experienced the shitshow that is Samsung support. Hence why I’m happy with my P7P now.
Nah, don’t do it. Pixels are overrated and unreliable to say the least. I sold my Pixel 7 within 4 months because I couldn’t stand the hardware and software issues- and before I sold it, I found myself using my 3 year-old S10e way more
Have thought about moving from Galaxy to Pixel lately…

I’d been a loyal Galaxy user since the S4.
But then I had such a terrible experience with the Fold3 (and Samsung support) let year that I finally decided to try the Pixel.
Happy to say I love my P7P, and won’t be considering a change anytime soon.
Foldable always looked like such a dumb gimmick that I’m surprised anyone was impressed enough to have let it last this long.

Can you tell me a little more about those issues?
