WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.700 why does everyone still buy Pixel phones when six months later the a comes out 00:00:03.780 --> 00:00:11.580 and usually it's better in most ways that might still be the case here with 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.500 the new pixel 7A we have it in this 00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:17.940 weird Coral version and I'm excited to take a look as though I'm not a long 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:21.480 time pixel fan I did use a 7 Pro for a good little bit there when it first came 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:26.840 out and it was a pretty nice phone but very big and pretty darn expensive the 00:00:24.539 --> 00:00:31.740 A-line is pixels more accessibly priced ones with usually some 00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:35.040 mid-range specs but this one is a bit interesting because they do have a lot 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.180 of the specs that you know and love from the full size pixel phones unboxing the 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.960 phone here we have the nice bit of plastic that covers it and this very 00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:48.840 vibrant color that we will talk about in a bit here we have a USB C2C cable that 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:54.300 is naughty this doesn't even feel like three feet and an OTG cable so you can 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:58.399 plug in your usba devices usually you use it once it's a transfer over all of 00:00:56.100 --> 00:01:01.559 your information from your old phone and then you don't 00:01:00.059 --> 00:01:06.000 use it ever again but hey if you want to plug a keyboard into your phone I'm not 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.260 going to stop you we also got a Sim popper a booklet it's a very fancy 00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:13.380 little box for uh nothing and that's it for the unboxing very very simple you 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:20.280 get a cable you get the OTG you get no brick and right off the bat I gotta say 00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:21.600 I like the color I'm not 100 sold I've 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:25.500 actually gotten used to having a more vibrant phone I usually go for just a 00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:28.799 black phone it fits with everything you have and you know usually cover up with 00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:33.000 a case of your case user anyways I've been using the kind of purple Oppo 00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.060 finding to flip and I get a lot of comments on it people like a colorful 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.720 phone and this is another very very colorful phone so we have the coral 00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:44.400 version here though it does come in Black Sea and snow which I'm guessing is 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:47.939 black blue and white is that the order I didn't but you know you can't just say 00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:53.100 that anymore it's you got to be creative and it's definitely like a seradichi 00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:57.780 peach it's very very vibrant as for the design it's very reminiscent of the 00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:00.180 seven and the six before it with the 3D 00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:03.720 metal visor though the bump is very small I haven't actually used the 00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:09.420 regular sevens I don't know if this is similar to that but I know the 7 Pro the 00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:11.340 visor is very very thick and it is not 00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:15.780 too bad on this one other than that on the back we have the G so you know it's 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.080 a Google phone and then we have our two cameras and Flash it is a little bit 00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:23.160 fingerprinted I don't know if you'll be able to see uh I got greasy gamer 00:02:21.239 --> 00:02:25.680 fingers but it does feel pretty nice it doesn't feel super plasticky or anything 00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:30.239 like that I know there have been past pixel phones where you know it it is 00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:33.420 definitely full on plastic moving around the side of the phone on the right side 00:02:31.379 --> 00:02:37.860 we have our power button and volume rocker as well as our antenna lines on 00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:42.360 the top we have more antenna lines and our mic hole and then on the left we 00:02:39.660 --> 00:02:47.519 have three more antenna lines and our SIM tray and finally on the bottom we 00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:52.980 have two speakers and a USB-C for charging and let's pop it open Google 00:02:50.220 --> 00:02:57.480 historically does not do dual SIM as far as I'm aware for physical you do get an 00:02:54.780 --> 00:03:00.599 esim but maybe that changes here and yeah it's just one nano SIM some people 00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:04.920 don't really care as long as they have esim but I actually really like having dual physical Sim it makes it easy for 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:09.180 someone like me who switches phones very often but I'm also abnormal and you 00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:12.120 probably aren't switching your phone all that often so with the a series like I 00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:16.980 said it's usually they're more kind of entry level or mid-range phone and sometimes you get cutbacks from the 00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:23.220 flagship phones because of that but it does still have a good weight to it we'll wait and see how much it is 192 00:03:20.519 --> 00:03:25.680 grams that's what five slices of bread no I'm only gonna get lucky with that 00:03:24.659 --> 00:03:30.659 once there's no way I'm gonna get that again I know one of the ways they did reduce probably the cost and maybe the 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:35.280 weight is this front display so it's a 6.1 inch geo-led screen don't know what 00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:39.000 the G stands for none of the stuff we got here before release explains what that is but I'm gonna assume it stands 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:43.260 for Google because they got to be special it is with Gorilla Glass 3 00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:48.900 though which is interesting so I used uh something that's a couple Generations old obviously we survived a year with 00:03:46.739 --> 00:03:51.540 Gorilla Glass 3 before but it does seem like a bit of a steep drop off from the 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:56.040 victus 2 we're getting a lot of flagships now but if that's gonna be what saves you you know a couple of 00:03:54.420 --> 00:03:59.940 hundred dollars here or there it's probably worth it and just don't drop 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.480 your phone all of your information another way they're able to reduce 00:04:01.140 --> 00:04:06.120 pricing is that it is just a 60 to 90 Hertz screen so you're not getting the 00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:09.840 full 120 hertz that we're getting in a lot of flagships now but 90hz still is 00:04:07.799 --> 00:04:14.099 quite good and again if you've only been on a 60 hertz screen before those steps 00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:20.459 up really do make a difference for your everyday usage and it is IP67 plus new 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:26.280 to the pixel 7A compared to the 6A this has wireless charging this is a 4 385 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.919 milliamp hour battery which is a little bit lower than the 5000 milliamp hour 00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:35.940 batteries we're getting in other flagships or even budget to mid-range phones but it does include 7.5 watt 00:04:33.479 --> 00:04:40.380 wireless charging and up to 18 watt fast charging that's not the fastest cable 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:44.100 charging but again for most folks that's probably fine and the addition of 00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:46.860 wireless charging is huge and it might not seem like that big of a deal if you 00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:50.940 don't have it right now but as somebody who's had it and lost it not having 00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:54.720 wireless charging in my phone sucks you know a lot of cars now have wireless 00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:57.540 charging pads or if you're just like in an office and you want to be able to see 00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:01.199 your phone with like the the Google pixel stand or whatever like that it is 00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:04.860 really great to have and size wise for the phone uh it's like the same as the 00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:08.639 6A so if you are coming from that phone it does look very very similar obviously 00:05:07.380 --> 00:05:13.020 again the visors are a little bit different and there's like you know 0.5 00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:18.600 of a millimeter difference on Dimensions but otherwise they are very very similar 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:22.940 uh looks wise but that's pretty much all there is for the outside of the phone so 00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:28.259 I guess we should hear from our sponsor dbrand for some reason Google sent us 00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.560 the coral one and uh you know maybe they thought Linus was gonna unbox it he 00:05:29.820 --> 00:05:35.280 likes the pink car the pink everything but for myself I wanted something a 00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:39.840 little bit more fashionable like the black one so we hit up our friends at 00:05:36.900 --> 00:05:46.440 dbrand to send us over a black pixel 7A but they told us to off and send us 00:05:42.539 --> 00:05:48.660 something better the grip case now you 00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:52.080 may know that I'm not a big case user I just believe that you shouldn't drop 00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:56.820 your phone then you can use your phone in its nice slick glass metal plastic 00:05:54.780 --> 00:06:01.380 body whatever it's made of and it feels great in the hand but if I were to use a 00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:06.300 case obviously it would be the dbrand grip case because it has thousands of 00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:13.199 contact points with their super fine dots so it sticks to anything look 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:15.780 it's not going anywhere Plus 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:20.699 your phone is totally fine even though our relationship with dbrand might be a 00:06:17.820 --> 00:06:23.819 little hit and miss I mean they're kind of douchebags if you haven't noticed 00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:28.740 they do know how to make a great product that goes with any outfit like this one 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:34.100 or this high quality shirt it just goes with anything also it has nice clicky 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.100 buttons listen 00:06:34.440 --> 00:06:42.120 what do you think of this oh clicky buttons and he's not sponsored by 00:06:39.479 --> 00:06:46.500 dbrand no way man so if you want to fit in with all the cool kids and protect 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:50.460 your phone go to shortlineus.com and tell him Belle sent you or don't I don't 00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:55.259 know I don't really care honestly we can cut dbrand's great but if you don't like 00:06:52.860 --> 00:07:01.199 their cases for whatever weird reason we do have one of the Google pixel 7A cases 00:06:57.660 --> 00:07:03.360 in a very conflicting color that almost 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:06.539 certainly will not go well I'm guessing is this the C color we'll never know 00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:10.319 what they call it but it does look like the seafoam group blue green blue 00:07:08.880 --> 00:07:15.180 there's that kind of like Soft Touch silicone plastic feel that I'm actually 00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:19.740 really not a fan of if you have like a pair of the xm5s or anything like that's 00:07:16.919 --> 00:07:24.240 that same as like the headband and uh yeah I mean I guess it kind of goes well 00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:28.259 together if you like a bit of a statement look but yeah I'm not a fan of 00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:33.300 the the feel of this case I don't know how much it costs but stick stick with 00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:35.460 dbrand or caseless chill I want dbrand 00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:38.160 to like me leave that in all right booting up the phone here uh right away 00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:42.720 it's asking if we want suggestions on the home screen I'm never a fan of stuff like this I'm glad you get an option of 00:07:40.979 --> 00:07:45.539 turning it off right away because uh I know quite a few phones have to go into 00:07:43.979 --> 00:07:49.680 the home screen settings and change it to be off of having suggestions at the 00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:54.360 top it's like never correct in an iPhone I know Siri suggestion are also awful so 00:07:52.919 --> 00:07:57.300 I'm really happy for that booting it up obviously this is a pixel phone it's 00:07:56.039 --> 00:08:01.380 stock Android you're not going to have anything super fancy for skins or 00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:05.460 overlays or anything that's going to slow down your phone or you know prevent 00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:08.520 a layer between you and what you want to actually access in your phone which I'm 00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:12.840 a big fan of as somebody who used to be a big fan of HTC Sense back in the day 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.539 with the cool widgets that would like it had like the cloud the rain cloud for 00:08:14.460 --> 00:08:19.199 the weather and everything like that I loved that as I've grown older I've 00:08:17.460 --> 00:08:22.620 realized that sucks and it slows down your phone and really just muddies up 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:25.800 everything you're doing so having stock Android is obviously great and with a 00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:30.660 pixel phone you're getting a lot of the features that coming soon to Android like call screening the now playing for 00:08:29.340 --> 00:08:34.680 music in the background everything like that that again nice to have again for 00:08:33.419 --> 00:08:40.080 all these apps that you do see here on here a lot of them are going to be things that we've installed for Labs 00:08:38.219 --> 00:08:43.440 testing like the games Reddit everything like that you just have the Google 00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:49.320 versions of all of these apps so if you're coming from Samsung and you like their notes or Oppo and you like the 00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:53.220 Zaza remote you might not get that here but you do get all the bass Android apps 00:08:51.779 --> 00:08:56.279 that I do usually find quite a bit better and you know use for myself even 00:08:54.899 --> 00:08:59.760 when I'm on different Android operating systems and speaking of stock Android we 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:04.260 do have Android 13 here which is the latest version and I'm sure you'll get the next version as well and maybe even 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:08.220 the version after that that'd be nuts that'd be unheard of and Google promises 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:12.120 five years of security updates which is again great and a trend we like to see 00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:16.680 and for other specs on the phone this is the eight gigs of RAM and 120 gigs of 00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:20.279 storage model which is the only model so if you're somebody who downloads a ton 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.740 of playlists games or you know films a lot of movies on this you want to be 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:27.779 aware that you are limited on storage and would have to look at Cloud Alternatives or be sure to back up your 00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:30.240 phone and take stuff off fairly often I personally don't have issues with 120 00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:33.899 gigs of storage but I know people have commented in videos saying that is not 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:37.740 enough for them and they need that one terabyte version and I've said it before 00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:41.220 and say it again uh that's that's us it's a little sus what is cool is that 00:09:39.779 --> 00:09:44.820 this is still powered by the tensor 2 chip that is in the Seven and Seven Pro 00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:48.660 so you're not going to see a huge performance difference hopefully so it is nice that they're not going to 00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:53.640 purposely Nerf this phone just to get you to a higher end model or anything like that and it doesn't the Titan M2 00:09:52.140 --> 00:09:58.080 security chip so it'll be protecting your logins and passwords everything like that which is something we should 00:09:56.940 --> 00:10:02.760 take a look at does it have a fingerprint scanner it's clearly not built into the power button usually you 00:10:01.260 --> 00:10:06.779 can visibly tell there'll be a ring around it or something like that to make 00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:09.660 it more clear so let's see if it has an under display fingerprint scanner well 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:13.140 that's a good sign right off the bat it says face and fingerprint unlock so 00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:16.680 depending on what you like to do to unlock your phone you have a couple different options I'm more of a fan of 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:20.339 fingerprints I feel it's a little bit more secure than face but you can always 00:10:18.660 --> 00:10:23.399 use both so you have the quick access to take a look at your information and you 00:10:21.959 --> 00:10:30.920 know if it's down on a table you can use your finger or whatever like that but let's see how fast it is all right the 00:10:28.260 --> 00:10:33.680 moment of truth pretty quick 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:39.060 the only thing I wish is I would wake up when you put your thumb on the fingerprint scanner I know there's quite 00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:44.279 a few phones that are kind of primed and ready so as soon as it feels your finger on that spot it'll light up and let you 00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:48.120 into your phone it is a little bit annoying to have to like double tap the screen or make sure to hit the power 00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:51.839 button but first world problems otherwise for connectivity and all the 00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:56.220 other inside specs it's pretty bog standard you have Wi-Fi 6E Bluetooth 5.3 00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:00.240 and 5G but what is interesting is you can pay a premium to get 5G millimeter 00:10:58.740 --> 00:11:04.140 wave so if you're in a big city where they have millimeter wave 5G and you 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:06.839 want those Ultra fast speeds you can pay an extra 50 bucks to get that out to 00:11:05.459 --> 00:11:10.860 your phone but I feel like for most people 00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:15.300 maybe you probably don't need that I feel like 5G millimeter wave is still a 00:11:13.019 --> 00:11:19.800 little bit out but again if that works for your city and you want those super 00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:22.980 fast speeds go for it our model here is the 5G millimeter wave which could 00:11:21.180 --> 00:11:28.380 explain why there are so many antenna lines all over the phone now let's get 00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:32.040 into display and speakers I've got a hankering for some crab Brave it's been 00:11:30.060 --> 00:11:35.420 a while you know it's been a while crab song who searched crab song 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:43.320 oh I gotta say I'm pretty impressed it does 00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:46.260 seem to clip a little bit at the highest volume again I don't feel like most 00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:50.579 people are listening to things at max volume but if you're gonna allow your speaker to go that loud you should make 00:11:49.260 --> 00:11:54.899 sure that it's not going to have any rattles or you know sound bad but 00:11:53.459 --> 00:11:57.899 surprisingly it didn't feel like it was super balanced to the right side of the 00:11:56.459 --> 00:12:00.959 phone it did still feel like it was kind of coming from a center channel and 00:11:59.880 --> 00:12:06.240 especially when you're holding it in your hands with you know kind of cupping it to bring the audio more towards your 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:10.200 face it sounded quite good as for the screen quality it looks great it's an 00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:12.540 OLED it is only full HD but I don't feel like you can really tell on the phone 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:17.459 this small unless you're getting really really close to it it still did look quite sharp my only real complaint on 00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:21.060 the display is that I do wish I got a little bit brighter what you're looking 00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:24.920 at is Max brightness which you can tell is not super super bright because it's 00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:29.640 not peaking the camera it does get up to 495 and it's in SDR which isn't bad when 00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:33.420 it comes to the other pixel phones I know the six and six a both get to 495 00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:39.480 and the pixel 7 surprise only gets to 475 and this pixel 7 Pro gets quite a 00:12:36.300 --> 00:12:40.860 bit higher at 595 nits and these might 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:44.100 just be numbers to the average person that it's watching this but just know 00:12:42.540 --> 00:12:48.959 that you want a higher number so when you go outside you can still see it in 00:12:45.959 --> 00:12:51.240 daylight and this will probably be fine 00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:54.600 but not fantastic all right let's go into cameras that's where Google usually 00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:58.500 shines I'm a big fan of ultrawods I find I use them more than telephotos though 00:12:56.220 --> 00:13:01.800 obviously having both is great and having that limited to the pro series I 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.860 guess makes sense they want your money and obviously if they can charge you and 00:13:03.839 --> 00:13:10.800 I'm gonna like for an extra camera they're gonna these are pretty decent stats the main camera can shoot up to 4K 00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:15.120 60 in the ultra wide 4K 30 which is plenty if you are somebody who is 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:18.540 shooting in 4k for some reason all right here's a main camera photo oh 00:13:17.339 --> 00:13:22.860 interesting when you take a photo right off the bat it has a share option that 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:25.740 pops up off the gallery now let's try a zoom this would just be a digital Zoom 00:13:24.660 --> 00:13:31.200 as obviously this does not have an optical lens and an ultra wide dang 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:35.040 that's wide it does 125 degrees for the ultra wide which is more than the human 00:13:33.180 --> 00:13:39.779 eye let me tell you I gotta say this ultramide looks pretty darn sharp when 00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:43.440 you zoom really far in you can see it's like getting Elizabeth painting like but 00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:47.339 uh for everything that's kind of the near vicinity to you or just when it's 00:13:46.019 --> 00:13:51.120 zoomed out and there's nothing too too crazy for lens Distortion which is where 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:54.899 the edges will look kind of weird compared to the rest of the photo onto 00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:58.800 the 2x looks pretty good your yard just digitally zooming into the main sensor 00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:03.360 but with 64 megapixels it does give you quite a bit of room to still get detail 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:05.339 in the photos and for the main shot it 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:08.220 looks good we can zoom right into sven's weird face 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:12.660 see all the detail in there and his tattoos into David's shirt the colors 00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:16.200 all seem really consistent and the brightness again looks really good 00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:19.139 across the whole scene especially because where I'm sitting is very well 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:24.480 lit but everything around the set is not so being able to see everything clearly and the lighting seems pretty consistent 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:27.480 is great for someone with a bit more color to give you an idea about color 00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:30.959 accuracy we'll take a photo of this kind of set here and yeah this looks very 00:14:29.880 --> 00:14:37.740 true to life everything looks pretty consistent with the green of the plant the blue from the ShortCircuit lights 00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:40.680 and the white kind of warm white from 00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:45.779 the lamp let's try video all right this is 4K 30. I'm moving around to see kind 00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:48.839 of how it looks definitely looks pretty smooth 00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:52.920 I don't know if it has ois as unfortunately it's not in any spec sheet but it does look pretty darn smooth I 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:57.959 would not be surprised if it did it doesn't have any of that kind of blurriness but it does look a little bit 00:14:55.620 --> 00:15:01.980 punched in uh I'll compare it to the regular camera here and see if we can 00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:05.639 tell yeah compared to the main camera it definitely is using Eis as it crops the 00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:09.959 Imaging quite a bit but I gotta say this sounds really good my voice is really 00:15:07.800 --> 00:15:13.320 clear uh it didn't have like the hum of the room as well it seems to be able to 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:17.760 kind of cut that out or at least didn't pick it up for whatever reason and it 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.699 looks great as well of course 4K it looks sharp and the Eis looks really 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:26.220 good as well a lot of times when you're shaking on Eis it kind of has that ghosting as it tries to just digitally 00:15:24.300 --> 00:15:29.760 compensate for what's going on so that you know everything still stays smooth 00:15:27.540 --> 00:15:31.920 button this looks really good if you're going to be taking videos with your 00:15:30.779 --> 00:15:35.459 phone for Vlogs or anything like that this is at least a very good start for 00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:39.600 then adding your own equipment let's try the selfie camera though it's interesting it has a zoom function I'm 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:43.740 not sure when you would want to be just a little bit closer but you do have the 00:15:42.060 --> 00:15:47.820 option of choosing that yeah these swords look fine it's a 13 megapixel 00:15:45.779 --> 00:15:51.300 shooter that does 4K 30 we'll test in a second here it still looks sharp with 00:15:49.079 --> 00:15:55.740 the detail in my beard and hair as well as you know just pores and of course 00:15:53.760 --> 00:15:59.160 Northern Lights t-shirt now available on ltzstore.com I wouldn't say it looks 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:02.880 over processed the colors look pretty solid especially again with the pretty 00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:06.300 complex background with the TV and ShortCircuit sign like an iPhone if you hold 00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:11.820 down your photos you get a nice motion photo so you can always remember the memories of taking that selfie at the 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:16.800 pier down in San Francisco that was a great day I'm now taking a video again 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:20.459 something to note with Eis it does crop in more so you do have the option of 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.760 using the 1.4 time zoom but then it feels pretty darn close but I do like 00:16:22.380 --> 00:16:29.519 the smooth zoom in and out it kind of gives you a bit of 00:16:25.699 --> 00:16:31.620 dramaticism dramaticism 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:38.100 but hey that's pretty neat I gotta say I'm not really impressed with the selfie 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:41.519 video quality it looks a little 00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:43.860 grainy again I'm very well lit right now 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:48.720 and of course I'm not outside where it's extremely consistently lit but my shirt 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:53.940 you can see a lot of noise it looks pretty soft and at 13 megapixels when it 00:16:51.839 --> 00:16:59.459 can do 4K 30 I don't feel like it really should look like this and as for the my 00:16:56.880 --> 00:17:01.800 quality it's yeah it's fine one thing I do wish so after listening to this is 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.579 that the speaker got a little bit louder or that the mic recorded louder I don't 00:17:04.199 --> 00:17:09.419 know what the issue is is crap right seemed to get quite loud as this does 00:17:07.679 --> 00:17:14.280 not seem to be very loud 00:17:11.760 --> 00:17:19.740 like that's max volume this is me speaking without speech enhancement do I 00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:22.319 sound better or worse only you can tell 00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:25.439 and me in a second I can't tell a difference so maybe if you're outside 00:17:23.459 --> 00:17:28.860 where it's super windy uh maybe it'll be a bigger difference here it's obviously 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:33.120 a bit quiet and in both videos I could hear the hum of the Transformer that's 00:17:30.179 --> 00:17:37.380 behind the camera so I don't know again your mileage may vary 00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:40.919 it's time to game as for gaming we send this over to Labs to get some testing 00:17:38.760 --> 00:17:45.419 done and the results were surprising though it has the same tensorship that 00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:48.960 the 7 and 7 Pro do there was also actually varied quite a bit sometimes it 00:17:47.520 --> 00:17:53.340 performed worse than the Seven and Seven Pro and sometimes it performed better 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:59.820 which is odd and gentian impact the medium frame rate on the 7n7 pro was 61 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:02.220 or 62 FPS respectively and on the 7A was 00:17:59.820 --> 00:18:06.000 only 48. but what's even weirder is that in unhappy raccoon it actually performed 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:09.780 even better on the 6A with it getting 62 FPS so your mileage may vary based on 00:18:08.340 --> 00:18:14.700 the games that you're playing but no matter what you should get some solid performance in most the games you're 00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:18.360 playing speaking of Labs testing we also had them test out the battery life first 00:18:16.260 --> 00:18:22.020 up Labs did a longevity test which is putting the phone in its kind of best 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:26.340 case scenario so it's video streaming off YouTube low brightness giving it the 00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:29.820 best odds for maximum battery life the most you should really expect from this 00:18:27.780 --> 00:18:34.080 phone and the results were really good the pixel 7A was able to get 21 hours of 00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:38.760 continuous playback which is pretty darn good the pixel 6 say for example got 20 00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:43.320 hours which is again great the pixel 7 got 16 and a half and the pixel 7 Pro 00:18:41.100 --> 00:18:46.679 only got 14 and a quarter hours and it makes sense but the pixel 7 Pro being so 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.799 large and high resolution then after that we did the stress test which is the 00:18:48.660 --> 00:18:54.059 minimum amount of battery you can expect that's maximum GPU and CPU usage maximum 00:18:52.679 --> 00:18:59.100 brightness everything like that under Max load the 7A was able to get 3.3 00:18:56.700 --> 00:19:04.320 hours the pixel 6A did also quite well with 3.2 hours pixel 7 got 2.7 hours 00:19:02.280 --> 00:19:08.100 which is not enough probably for your flight or bus ride like the bus still 00:19:06.419 --> 00:19:10.860 take the Greyhound I don't know and the pixel 7 Pro got 3.2 so again it's 00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:15.120 interesting to see the difference between the 7 and 7 Pro or even the 7A 00:19:13.620 --> 00:19:18.660 and 6A as they were all very very similar but pretty darn good I feel like 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:22.860 if you're going that hard with your phone that you are maxing out the CPU 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:25.260 and GPU and using Max brightness you probably have it plugged in so in those 00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:30.120 French scenarios we want to play something intense on the bus or playing or whatever you should be fine so how 00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:35.760 much does this cost a phone that has a lot in common with its Flagship counterparts with just a couple edges 00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:39.539 cut off here and there well it's at up 500 price point which isn't too bad 00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:43.919 though if you do want the millimeter wave 5G it does cost 50 more at 550. 00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:48.539 with this being 500 and the pixel 7 being 600 I would take this any day and 00:19:46.919 --> 00:19:54.600 pocket that hundred dollars and put it towards I don't know 00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:56.640 a dbrand case LGT store merge like this 00:19:54.600 --> 00:20:01.380 with better battery life and better performance in some games it seems like 00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:05.580 there's no real reason to get the seven which makes me wonder why Google has 00:20:03.780 --> 00:20:09.360 this really schedule at all and maybe they should more consider this a t 00:20:07.080 --> 00:20:13.919 upgrade like OnePlus does instead of the budget alternative or I guess maybe we 00:20:12.600 --> 00:20:18.360 should just appreciate that if you're willing to wait six months you could probably get a better phone than the one 00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:21.960 they released six months ago which I guess makes sense I don't know but what 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:27.539 do you think does it seem like a worthwhile upgrade for those on the seven have you been waiting for the new 00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:30.600 a series like so many people have let us know down below and of course while 00:20:28.919 --> 00:20:34.440 you're down there hit subscribe hit like or dislike if you want to hurt my 00:20:32.280 --> 00:20:39.320 feelings and why don't you watch that unit hurts Luna phone that sucked
