After the issues with the pixel 6, I would have thought waiting to see what issues arise with the 7 before purchasing would be a good idea...

That's exactly how I feel.
Having had 3 Pixel 6 Pros, all as dire as the last, I'm extremely wary about the 7 Pro and will hold off for now.

I'm in dire straights. I want the watch but don't need a phone but I've nearly justified buying the phone too because "it's only £470 on top of the watch for a new phone". Seems bizarre to me that my HTC U11 isn't on the trade list but the One M8 is.

People doing the unidays 10% off, are you actually students or have you found a way to get a code?

Got the code from my Niece who is at Uni.

What's the risk?

I'll be testing and if its not as good as it should be just return it within the grace period.

It's a good thing I am replacing my 4 year old Mate 20 Pro with the Pixel 7 Pro. A lot of wary people in this thread are feeling like this new phone will be rubbish, while I can be fairly confident there will not be a single aspect that isn't a significant upgrade from my current handset.

Half decent trade in value for the S21. After the horror stories I heard about the 6. I'm holding off.

Modem issues are what concern me the most

What modem are they using in the 7, it's nothing like the 6 surely.

5300g

Old One was Exynos Modem 5123 so its changed which is a good sign. We knew they couldn't keep the last one.

And actually how can it be the modem that was the issue, as its the same one that was in the Galaxy S21 Family...So I reckon it was an antenna issue or something other than physical modem.

I must admit that I had a brief bit of FOMO where I thought about swapping my P6 Pro for a 7. But I just don't think it's worth it.

Currys/CPW are doing £150 on top of their trade-in prices whilst still being able to claim the watch/buds from Google. I can also use Currys Instant Vouchers to get 6% off.

£8 trade-in for broken 3XL
£150 extra trade-in
£50 for instant vouchers saving
~£100 back from selling the buds/watch

I don't care for the buds or watch but really wouldn't expect to get much £££ back if the usual places get flooded with them. Maybe £100 back; I think the buds, whilst less value, would be easier to sell.

It's tempting, although I'm wary of claiming money back and actually getting it. I'm well overdue a new phone (3XL with broken screen) but a 7 Pro even with a bit of kickback is a big chunk of cheese even if I will likely have it 3/4 years.

With the 10% discount it makes the 7 Pro bundle just suberb value.

£650 for the 256GB 7 Pro and £200 for the LTE watch.

So if you add buds to the order, will they post both at the same time?

From Google then yes

Oh dear god, stop tempting me! That is a good deal wtih the extra £150. What are Instant Vouchers? I'm assuming not anyone can get this 6% more off?

That's a really good offer!

Probably from a work based 'perks' platform like PerkBox

This is now very tempting, where can you find the trade in value they offer?

£349 before taking into account whatever I could sell the watch for...but do I want the gamble of being a Guinea pig considering I got very lucky with no issues on my p6 Pro

Pyr0m@nI@]{ · 7 Oct 2022 at 10:18

The carphone warehouse deal with the extra 150 is quite tempting
For trading in a working pixel 2xl, i can get a total of £175 off the 7 pro

I just wish there was some indication of how the modem/antenna and fingerprint sensor are working.
