my phone is broken and not only that it's also a pixel 4. my wrist is also
naked so I need a smart watch and lo and behold Google is here with new pixel 7
devices the natural replacement for the four that is smashed and they've got
finally the pixel watch we're not going to look at this in this video we'll have
a dedicated video for it so look out for that but today I want to look at the new
phones which I'm quite excited about then look Google actually sent us a care
package Google pixel collection that got the whole ecosystem now
they've got earbuds they've got a watch and they've got a phone and they have
those Nest thermostats and the cameras your whole life Wow and they actually
have some Harmony between the devices too you can see on these pixel buds this
color I believe is what they call Hazel that's a color you're gonna see on these
new devices and in my opinion that's a lot better than the lemongrass on the
earbuds I like the lemongrass on this phone but on the earbuds it kind of just
looks like the color they'll be once the white yellows and looks like earwax
anyways enough about the butts let's get all these friends out of here for a
moment and take a look at what's in the boxes if you buy a pixel 7 or a 7 Pro
you can see it's a very slim box that tells you right away there's not going
to be a wall ward in here for charging the phone but these do use the same 30
watt charger that they've been using for Generations here it is the same visor
camera bump thing they had from the six it's a design language that is
polarizing some people don't like it but I'll say this when I went to the Google
event the night before at the hotel I was 20 feet away from somebody who's
sitting at the bar talking to their phone own I could tell that was a pixel
6. this is the lemongrass color on the seven this is the hazel color on the 7
Pro and this is the snow white color on
the 7 Pro there's more colors too there's a black you can get if you you
have an uncompromising executive look in mind taking the devices out you can see
inside they do have the adapter for
taking data off your phone and getting it onto your new phone as well as a USB
C to C cable and then some little Google Quick Start guides and that is about it
just the basics taking a tour of the exterior you can see they are very
similar however there's a difference on the visor on the previous six this was
glass and so it was it was black glass and then when it came to the side there
was a little lip there now it's way more seamless this is polished aluminum you
can see it curves right over and just melds right into
the side bezel it looks pretty nice the difference from the pro to the non-pro
is instead of it being polished aluminum it's brushed I don't I don't even think
it looks less premium really they do have the glass backs I kind of hate
glass backs it seems like they're designed just to sell you a new phone
once you break it or to sell you a case so you don't break it they're worse in
every way they collect fingerprints they feel hotter they're slippery so it slips
out of your pocket and breaks I really just wish phones didn't do that but uh
you can get a skin for that we'll talk about that later another thing we'll talk about later is the cameras you can
see looking at the visors this one has an extra hole that's because on the pro
there's a telephoto that's missing from here more on that later all the buttons
are on one side you got your volume rockers and then your lock and unlock
buttons these do have face unlock like
the pixel 4 did as well as under screen fingerprint reader once we get these
booted up we'll see how fast it is on the other side there's just a whole lot
of nothing except and and SIM tray it does support you Sim but you don't have
to like you do with the uh iPhone 14 in the US and on the bottom you can see the
USBC charging port very quick and stereo
speakers a great thing about this visor design though is that your phone doesn't
Rock on the diagonal plane at all I mean it could rock this way but it's really just
sitting on the table very solidly it actually is pouring to towards you kind
of presenting towards you a little bit which is kind of nice a lot better than
having a bump that's just in the corner so your phone's like
size wise the pro is 6.7 inches the
non-pro is 6.3 which is actually
smaller than the 6.4 inch on the
non-pros pixel 6. that's the size the this the size of the 7 Pro didn't change
at all it's a little bigger than the
non-pro and size wise I they're pretty
big I really wish they had made a smaller phone like the pixel 4 I just
chucked hello look how tiny this guy is it's not
much smaller width-wise but it is a little bit smaller height wise you might
not think this is a great difference but the height really is the dimension that
kind of makes the phone small or not because you end up holding your phone
like this and then having to reach to scroll stuff down from the top and if
your hands aren't big enough to do it then you're gonna get your palm hitting the bottom and you're going to get all
sorts of weird interactions because now there's two points of contact on the screen so I do a lot of one-handed
typing I do a lot of texting and driving just joking I like a small phone
especially like putting once you have a case on things put in your pocket ah
it's like this big brick but I get it Google people like big screens so why
not put the biggest screen you can for the least money you can I get it but I know
I'm not alone we're talking 8 and 12 gigabytes of RAM and in terms of battery
life it's 5 000 milliamp hours typically on the pro which is very similar and
actually a little tiny bit smaller than on the 6 Pro and but the difference is
on the six Pro they were saying if you put in an extreme battery saver mode you
get 48 hours now they're saying 72 hours in that mode the situation is kind of
exacerbated on the non-pro last time they had 46 14 milliamp hours and now
it's 4 355 milliamp hours on the
non-probe and still they're using the 30 watt fast charger which will give you
about 50 charge in about 30 minutes
not as fast as some of the Chinese phones we see that are just pump and
power into these things let's turn these puppies on and get to the good stuff but
first I'm going to tell you about our sponsor it's dbrand and guess what they
made cases for these with a new pattern there's three new patterns arctic Camo
Navy clap camo and glitch camo look how
cyberpunk this keyboard is it looks pretty cool and they actually made them
in there big giant oh two ways to open this yeah
wow that's Advanced see this is the kind
of thing I need to have on my pixel 7 so that I don't have it get broken by
children wow it's easy to put on preserves the
buttons be tactile cool look and as I said
equalizes that visor so it's just flush now there's no rocking in any direction
that's a brick and you can see that the bezel is a little higher than the screen
too to protect you just a bit from scratches when it's facing on a table or
drops that are face down these patterns are available now for literally every
skin that dbrand provides so you can get on your air pods your steam deck your
laptop whatever and I'm not an investor in framework check out the link below
and get yours today okay I've got both the phones powered on now and there's
two things I can see immediately one I could have noticed before is that uh
like the previous generation the pro has this curved glass thing going on whereas
the non-pro is more straight across so
the bezel is kind of just closer to the same plane as the front of the glass and
the next thing I'm noticing is that when I swipe down my notification tray on
this phone the color scheme is all green and on this one it's all yellowy and
that is actually is because of the color of the phone that we got so this is part of their material you UI where you can
change the theme theme of the wallpaper and desktop and everything just to match
the wallpaper that you choose the the exterior of the phone or even one of the
photos that you take instead as your wallpaper and that can also apply to the
icons here you can get these discolors so they're they're just all kind of
muted green for example all right let's check out how Snappy this fingerprint
reader is there it is and then let's try the face
unlock too oh oh it's a setting so it says unlocked
by the face now I gotta swipe up so that's a setting you can change where it
just opens automatically you don't have to do the second interaction I don't know why anyone would have that turned
on I prefer to have it just unlocked like it just did and then open
hello there it goes the cameras on these
are largely the same on the front and back the rear and the selfie cam
although there are a couple differences that I will tell you about but by and
large we're talking a 50 megapixel OCTA PD quad Bayer wide camera an aperture of
uh 1.85 and an 82 degree field of view
the ultrawide camera is 12 megapixels there is a difference on the ultra wide
in terms of their field of view the non-pro is a field of view of 114
degrees while the pro has a field of view of 125.8 the pro though has an
extra 48 megapixel telephoto though and that also determines which features you
get because they're doing some software trickery on these phones where they take
photos from your main and your telephoto and put them together to denoise and
stuff like that so you just can't do use some of those software features on the
non-pro I like the hole punch look at it's almost like Dynamic islandy right
now do you see it pulsing I don't know why it's doing that but the hole punch
front camera does not look bad it's pretty damn discreet so let's see
what the difference in those wides are in terms of what you can see so as you
can see on these cameras they start at 1X Zoom but you can actually go on what
is that the pro to a 0.6 X zoom and then
on the non-pro 0.7 x Zoom so as you can
see on the pro I can see a lot more of the blue wall and a little more of the
TV so it is slightly wider another difference from the camera's
capabilities is the amount of super res Zoom you can do you can do up to 30X
zoom on the pro and it's only 8X zoom on
the non-pro and one thing Google emphasized in their keynote this time is
that you get lots of steps in the zooming you don't just have to go
through these discrete steps so much anymore so they do give you these
buttons for uh one two and five x Zoom
but you also can just pinch what's up bro
wow that's 28.6 times Zoom
or you can go back down to one that's the difference holy one time zoom
30 times Zoom now let's see that on the non-pro
and eight times Zoom
so if you like to get in close I recommend getting the pro here's a new
feature I clicked on the motion button and it's telling me about action pan it
focuses on a moving subject and adds a creative blur to the background hold
your camera still or follow the subject to get the motion effect Brandon you
want to try that while I roll in my chair whoa
oh interesting and they give you two options kind of like they do with um
portrait mode where so there's a non-blurred version and then there's the
motion blurred version which I I guess is just all like AI introduced motion
blur it looks pretty whack on the ARM look at that now this is actually a good time to
start talking about the new chip that's in these it's the second generation
tensor chip which is Google's own silicon they get fabbed for them it's an
ARM design a lot of the functions that they had on the previous phone are just
faster now so night sight is not a new feature but the amount of processing
time is reduced using this new chip and
that actually makes you get a better photo because your subject doesn't need
to stay so still for so long it's not as long of an exposure it's a less long
exposure there's less of a chance for people to move and prefer to be blurry
there's also a lot of AI capabilities from this chip that trickle into other
camera features like denoising so they actually showed off in their keynote
that you can take old photos that you took in the early 2000s and smooth them
out you can also make Composites using both of the lenses at once to take
photos that you snapped on this phone that ended up being blurry and make them
less blurry snap into focus in terms of making these shots that you take clear
that happens when you take taking the shot it's automatic it'll take a shot
with both the lenses put them together to make a less blurry image that's not a
tool that you get to use but for making an old photo better that's something
that you've got to get the old photo from a different device and then use the tool when it comes to videos you get 20x
zoom on the pro and only 7x zoom on the
non-pro you can shoot 4k60 on either phone but they have active video
stabilization if you're shooting at 1080p for video stabilization there's a
couple new modes you can hit this little hand button on the side and basically
tell it what kind of situation you're going to be doing I'm out of breath because I just ran around with active
mode on one phone and standard mode on the other so we can see
how stable one was compared to the other
hold on are these gonna rotate
yep it's a lot more stable
I was running cinematic pan for smooth
panty shots
this is kind of cheating because I'm on a chair
I'd be remiss if I didn't take a selfie and show you the amazing selfie camera
capabilities here now there's no autofocus they're still just like fixed
um but let's check it out
it's pretty dang good look at those hairs look at that unibrow
and those zits oh my goodness every pour
and I mentioned earlier that there's a wider field of view on the pro so I
actually have the option of going from 1 to 0.7 and getting a wider selfie
compared to on this phone
yeah quite a bit wider but people don't just buy and stay in the pixel ecosystem
because they love the cameras and the computational photography or the OS they
also do it because of the Google specific features like call screening
and hold for me and other things that just make having a phone and not being
spammed all the time better so they are improving that a little bit there is now
an upgrade to the feature they have a feature where when you're on hold and they're giving a phone tree press one
for blood press two from they actually show it as an interface that you can
touch on your screen and the way that they've improved this now is you no
longer have to wait for the robot voice to say all the options before you can
select the options the other thing is in the recording app the app that will
record audio and automatically transcribe it they are now finally separating it out with different
speakers probably not going to work perfectly but I'm happy about it and and
of course I need to go in and enter manually the person two is named Brandon it's
just not going to know that it's branded although Brandon you do have a distinctive voice I'll say that thank
you another cool feature that the rolling out is called AI enhanced voice so if
people call you and they're in a crappy situation with noise around them
the tensorship will use AI to denoise the call to make their voice more clear
for you so let's test that out with our friend Nick light who's standing beside
a fan in another room you sound really bad
let me see if AI can do anything to help enhance the way you sound let me switch
phones that's the default ringtone
next is that you huh you still you sound
differently bad all right thanks a lot Nick so either AI
enhanced voice isn't very good or maybe it's not rolled out yet I need an update
we'll see pricing just like last year there's a 300 Delta between the non-pro
and the pro it's 600 bucks and 900 bucks no inflation hey storage options 128 is
the base on both of them both available for 256 but in the Pro you can go up to
512 gigabytes of storage they're available now and there might even be
some bundle options if you also buy a pixel watch which we're going to be
unboxing in the next video so stay tuned for that thanks for watching short
circuit guys if you like this video hit like and hit subscribe and hit up the
next video where I get to finally not have a nude wrist I've been looking
forward to this for a while would you like a portrait for portrait
mode the face of LMG thank you
