Google Pixel 7/7 Pro & Pixel Watch

I just put a JETech screen protector on my phone - its more or less killed the fingerprint sensor 100% (even with the Screen Protector Mode on)..

Needless to say that is coming off for a refund.

That's weird that's the protector I've got and I'm finding the fingerprint reader 100 times more responsive than the one on my Pixel 6 (without a protector). I've been really impressed with the 7 Pro in comparison to my 6.

I don't post often but wanted to post a review of my Pixel 7 Pro.

Having owned most Pixels including the Pixel 6 Pro , it appears Google finally have it right with the 7 Pro.

Had the 6 Pro but ended up selling due to the awful fingerprint scanner , bad mobile reception etc. Been running with an s22 Ultra since launch and it's almost perfect once you get rid of a lot of the bloat, anyway purchased the 7 Pro just to give Google another chance.

Great news is the fingerprint and face unlock are practically flawless, mobile reception has been great so far and the camera is as good as ever.

Only 24 hours in but battery life appears great, first thing I recommend is you run the update. Had a few bugs before this.


Also, turn off animations in developer mode as it speeds up the phone a lot, I do this with every phone and it makes it more snappy.

I'm 4 days in and totally agree with you. I much prefer my 7 Pro to my old Pixel 6. No fingerprint issues, face unlock, no over heating, works with Android Auto first time. Thinking back to the first few days of my P6 I had loads of "teething" problems. At the moment I can't find anything to complain about.

I've used these in the past and they've always been good

Thanks for the recommendation but I've already packed the phone up (didn't even bother turning it on after seeing it had a scuff on the back) and ready to send it back tomorrow along with the Pro Buds and charger. No excuse for brand new products having marks on them. Completely put me off Google.

I've had the Pro in hand for a couple of hours and liking it so far!
I have a question; how can I remove the 'press the unlock icon to open' screen? I'd like it to bypass that when my face is detected

As the great Forrest Gump famously alluded to while running his way across this beautiful country of ours, **** happens. That is the case for one reddit user who owned his brand new Pixel Watch for what we assume was about 10 seconds before it was introduced to gravity and... #Google #PixelWatch

What network are you on? What's your signal strength? I was really tempted to move away from EE, been with them 14 years.
 
Does anyone know where the wireless charging coil is on the pro? Wanting to stick a disc on the back for my holder and hoping to avoid it

I'm afraid this doesn't seem to cover it. It's not even mentioned in the advanced tab from the 3 dots :(
