  3. People complaining about the price's will be happy when when the base model is $100 more next year. No the Pro isn't even close to $300 more of a phone but people who want the pro won't be looking at the seven for anything but size for the most part. Screen, battery and camera are literally most valued parts of a smartphone.

  5. I will say, its just a promotion right now, but I'm trading in my Samsung s20 for a pixel 7pro, and they are exchanging it pretty much outright and all I got to pay is the taxes. Wouldnt be able to do that if I went to a 22 ultra

  6. Latley I don't really trust MKBHD on a lot of technical stuff on his reviews but this is the last straw
    2nd time he doesn't know that the Pixel 7 has a 90hz display. I mean, bro, since the Pixel 4 they have those, why would they go 60?!

  7. The pro is really only $200 more if you buy it now through Amazon, or Best Buy and a few others because of the 200 in credit you get on the pro and $100 on the non pro. That helps make the 7pro a easier buy

  10. I wonder with all of the experience Google has gained from computational photography, might they be a competitor to Adobe in the future? I ask because most of these photo enhancement features have been available for some time on desktop with Photoshop and Lightroom, but Google is making it one-touch instead of having to learn complicated image editing software. Of course Adobe products will have the fine-tune controls, but for the majority of people, will Google be the "good enough" alternative?

  13. I wish telephoto were the default second lens. I've always found way more use cases for telephoto than wide-angle. Maybe that's just me. But spending $300 more to get my preferred second lens is a huge ask.

  17. I will prefer smaller display 6 inch for handy but having pro features which is lacking in Android phone except samsung s22 still not upto mark as quality..this is a space where andoid brand have to focus to compete iPhone which is small ,handy and have quality performance with specifications.

  19. MKBHD is most ignorant Tech Reviewer I have come across. He hypes up every basic thing related to Apple or Google which others are doing for years. Bro, the Photo Unblur using AI feature is already present in Oppo Phones and even has a app named Remini on Playstore. Similarly the Magic Eraser feature was already present on Samsung, Xiaomi and probably other phones too and has apps like MintAI and Retouch on Playstore. Same for the Colorize feature you desire in upcoming Pixels, that can be achieved using apps like Colorize and MintAI.

  24. David Imel thinks the price difference between the 7 and 7 Pro is too wide, he wants the 7 Pro priced at $799.
    MKBHD and David have no issue with the S22 Ultra being more than $300-400 more than the S22 and even the S22+. $1000 phones are the norm, its seems with LG's departure the Pixel is the new punching bag.
    Tech Community live on another planet.

  26. I still think that the right thing to do is to stop obsessing over face unlock and push companies towards perfecting fingerprint scanners. When implemented right, fingerprint is much faster and much more convenient. I miss my device being unlocked by the time I pull it out of my pocket. Apple's logo at the rear could be repurposed to be a hardware scanner. Or better, just make the power button double down to also have fingerprint scanner – in both android and iOS worlds.

  32. I don't know why you guys keep wharfing on about the fact that the Pixel 7 Pro isn't worth it for $300 more than the Pixel 7. In my opinion, the price is absolutely justified. Look at the differences between them.

  34. I sent my 6A back because the 4/5G was hopeless. When you review this please comment.

    Zooming by cropping does not change the perspective. This is not a replacement for a proper camera.

  36. Fun update – I found a Made by Google podcast on my PocketCasts discover page today. And the first episode was about smartphone cameras. It wasn't super high level or anything, but I really liked it

  37. there's no way they can't run those photo unblur algorithms on processors other than tensor. artificial lock in being presented as hardware limitation is disingenuous af.

  38. Google: “let’s copy the front facing camera layout with the “i” cutout. Just like we did with the rear camera layout a few years ago so it looks like an iPhone layout but on the back instead of the front”

    Apple released iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max showing it was just the camera housing and blacked out with the pixels turned off

    Google: “damnit. Now we need to insult them with features we have had for a while that Apple just released THEN announce new features to Pixel that has been around for 3 years in iPhones. We need to be more like Samsung”

  41. The cloud TPU is very different from Edge TPU. The requirements for developing a deep learning model like unblur for the edge TPU on Pixels are very different from the requirements for cloud TPU. The major difference is that the cloud TPU has more compute and power so it is easy to run models in real-time whereas the edge TPUs are generally much smaller and needs to prioritize efficiency. Therefore, a model for edge TPU will not always work out of the box for the cloud TPU. With that said, typically we would start with a cloud TPU or GPU model, and then downsize it to fit edge TPU or Ml accelerators for real-time processing at the cost of accuracy. If Google follow the same pattern, they should be able to deploy the unblur model for cloud TPU within a few months. There is also the cost for running deep learning models in the cloud. Google will need to justify the extra cost for running cloud TPU.
