Are you planning to get the Pixel 7?

[J Dubbs]

I've been very happy with my Pixel 6, apart from taking several months to sort out the fingerprint sign on. The 7 doesn't seem a lot different so I'll probably stick what what I've got.

You get 3 OS updates and 5 years of security updates, it would seem a shame to dump it after a year I've always kept my pixels till the security updates stopped... knowing I have 5 years if I choose to keep it that long is very nice It would make a very secure backup phone at the minimum

I'm going to pay close attention to the feel of the P7. I'm one of those that found the the P6 pro to feel a bit cheap in hand. The s22 ultra has a much more premium feel. I don't like the hollow and plasticky feel of the P6P.

Put a nice leather case on it and it'll suddenly feel much more premium All I noticed was that it was super slippery... a case is a must for this phone. I have 2 leather cases on the way, I'm not going to use it till I get them.

The more I read about the P7 series the more I get the feeling the law of "diminishing returns" apply. Depending on trade-in values for my Pixel 6 Pro I may just wait to see what the Pixel 7a offers. I've really enjoyed using the P6a in place of my P6P that I'm fine taking a wait see approach this time around.

The a line continues to be one of the more popular pixel models it seems year after year. Google was incredibly smart to start the model line and keep it going. I believe they typically outsell their flagship big brothers

Absolutely. A smart move was to put the same Tensor chip in the P6a.
A big deal was made of the 60hz refresh rate but in setting up the P6a for my wife I really didn't notice a big difference between it and my P6P 120hz rate. Since I turn off all window animations both phones seem equally fast. Now that I use the P6a as my main phone I don't feel I've had a compromised experience. Of course my reported battery life has been comparable to my P6P.
Btw:The 6a fps has been working great.
Of course I might change my mind depending on how "shiny" the P7 series is.

Sticking with my 6 Pro. No issues with it for me and I like it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I totally understand!

I'm saying no ATM, I am going to wait for their version of the fold. I like my 6 pro except for the weak network signal

 

[Guyinbox]

I decided to give the fold 4 a try instead of upgrading to the newest pixel this year. It's a pretty solid experience aside from the few remaining annoyances of the Samsung ui. The pixel 7 looks to be too similar to the 6 to really get excited about.
I'll keep the fold until the pixel 8 or the first or second gen pixel fold comes around. I really wish they would have given some details in the pixel fold release timeline at I/o.

That's a very good idea!

I am ordering a Lemongrass P7 for my wife as soon as pre-orders go live. She loves her P5, great phone. But after 2 years it is showing a little wear & tear and she has that urge for a shiny new phone.

So I'm thinking I'm going to come back to the Pixel family and get the 7Pro. I have a S20+. It's a nice phone but I really miss some of the Pixel features from when I was using my Pixel 3.

I'm having trouble trying to use other brands of phones because I prefer the features and layout of pixels. I actually want to be more flexible and try new things, but when I do I just end up heading back to a pixel ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm going to force myself to use my Flip for awhile just to try and embrace Samsung's version of Android... I don't want to be a one trick pony

 

[bkeaver]

I would use my Pixel more if only the cell reception on it would be on par with my other phones. This is my 1 and probably only complaint.

To be fair, that is a pretty decent-sized one!

Agreed

I'm the same way. Part of me wants to try something new, but there's a lot of the stuff that makes a Pixel a Pixel that I enjoy on my phone.

Just got the Pixel 6 Pro last year, I like to wait a couple years minimum before upgrading so I feel it's worth it. Maybe Pixel 8, but if this phone is still good in a year I'll wait even longer for Pixel 9.

 

[Climb14er]

I tried the Pixel 6Pro after being on Android since the beginning and decided after selling it, I would not be a beta tester for Google again. I’m very satisfied where I’m at with cell communication.

Pixel 9 -- now THAT sounds exciting!

 

[Kizzy Catwoman]

I do plan on buying it! I've been eagerly anticipating its launch. So much is happening IRL right now that it's hard to keep up with leaks -- but I'm really looking forward to launch!

You do need a new phone and I think the 7 will be a great phone for you
