I do find the google offering very mundane, especially in the hardware department. Used to be a big fan back when they have the Nexus branding but even then it was mainly for the software. Now Samsung has caught up and personally think surpassed Google in that area.
Google Pixel 7/7 Pro & Pixel Watch
- Thread starter BMox81

So one line for phone and watch is enough?Thought this was a 6PM event like usual
What's the major bug for their products going to be this year? A watch that can't tell the time accurately?
It uses an eSIM.
Does it cost more to have a watch with phone line?
I'd been umming and aahing over Pixel 6 Pro / S22 / S22U a while back and eventually just stuck with my old S10 - I was particularly keen on a half decent telephoto camera so the S22 ended up off the list (70mm from 52mm wasn't enough of a jump for me), the S22U was just too expensive to justify and the Pixel 6 Pro didn't quite inspire me enough to pull the trigger.
The 7 Pro improving slightly on the 6 Pro with the 120mm telephoto camera and a 'free' watch thrown in that I may yet either sell or use to replace a Garmin watch has tipped the balance enough to have me place a pre-order

What this guy said
Or they're trying to get people to buy back into the Wear OS ecosystem and what better way to build a big user base quickly and cheaply.
Based on previous Google attempts at anything new you're probably closer to the mark, but you never know
First Pixel watch so let's help saturate the market with a phone/watch combo and get people into the Google ecosystem.
I looked at upgrading my Pixel 6 but they'd only offer me £250-ish as a trade in so not worth it.

I don't have an eSIM myself but you can use the same number on both devices.
Not sure if you need anything extra on the eSIM for it to work on both though.

Yes I get that.. But was wondering how it works - does it clone the Sim in my phone - and is the phone provider happy with this? Or will I need a new subscription with an eSim issued? (then paying for a subscriptions).. The answer from Google seems to indicate that I can use my existing mobile subscription in 2 places?

Desperately searching to see if it's an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor or a naff optical like the P6/P6P.
Nothing online yet, gsmarena says optical but I'm guessing that's speculation as it was published before release.

They would have banged on about it if they had improved it with an ultrasonic.

Upgrading to the Pixel 7
Currently using the 6 Pro, but would rather something slightly smaller
The 7 pro offers nothing over the 7 that I feel I would use, at least not enough to justify the price difference and added size/weight

GSM Arena list it as optical, though not sure what they've based that on.
Edit - spectacular reading fail from me there, you've obviously already seen GSM Arena

It'll be optical for sure

Well that's not good. I wonder if they've at least swapped the sensor for a different manufacturer given how bad the P6 one is.
I've gotten so used to the ultrasonic on Poco F3, it's the fastest I've used on any device, inc Samsung.

I'll be ordering the 7 Pro at the weekend I expect to replace my Pixel 4XL. Considering the larger display, the actual physical size is almost the same!
I was going to grab the watch to sell it, but seems a lot of people will do the same which may drop the prices too low to make it worth the hassle. The earbuds I'd maybe use - will look for reviews.

I swear it's usually around 4pm but could be wrong.
It'll be a Google home thing, so any device connected to that, hive, nest, wiserheater
You sure that's ultrasonic because I don't think it is

It's built into the power button which is extremely thin so I'd assume it's ultrasonic, could be wrong though.
