Splurging on expensive gadgets does not seem like a very smart idea, especially considering the beating most of us have taken from the rising cost of living. If you have resolved to be more frugal with your money, the year-over-year differences are not great enough to justify spending on newer releases, so if you are looking for a capable phone, Google’s Pixel 7 Pro is available for a great price.
One of the best phones available right now is the Pixel 7 Pro, which is highly regarded in the tech community for good reason. It boasts a stunning 6.7-inch screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz and is slightly curved, making it more comfortable to hold than most other high-end smartphones.
The device is underpinned by the homemade Google Tensor G2 chip and while it’s not at the top of the performance charts, it’s plenty fast for everyday use.
With its triple camera array—a 50MP primary shooter, a 12MP ultrawide snapper, and a 48MP telephoto module with 5x optical zoom—it produces aesthetically more pleasing, stunning, and color-accurate photos than most other phones.
The 128GB Pixel 7 Pro is currently $380 cheaper than the iPhone 14 Pro and Galaxy S23 Plus, both of which have starting prices of $999.
Go for the phone if you need a high-end smartphone with stellar cameras, smooth performance, and a clutter-free interface but do not want to spend a fortune.
Google’s phones are also at the front of the queue when it comes to operating system updates and they get better with age thanks to quarterly Feature Drops which bring features introduced with newer phones to older phones.
Now that the price has dropped, the Pixel 7 Pro has an advantage over the Pixel 8 Pro, which starts at $999.
