Power pixel 7

Digital Camera World VerdictThe Google Pixel 8 Pro will check your boxes if you want a superb point-and-shoot camera with a powerful zoom. Occasional computational photography gremlins can create weird artifacts, and 128GB storage isn't enough at the 8 Pro's price. If you're happy with those limitations and don't need gaming phone power, the Pixel 8 Pro's solid Android experience, good battery life, great-looking screen, and slick design all provide a great backdrop to a mostly excellent camera. Pros+Reliable camera with new Pro Mode+Smooth performance and clean UI+Premium screen and styling+Unique Google Android highlightsCons-More expensive than the Pixel 7 Pro-128GB starting storage too low for price-Occasionally gets warm to hot-Strange shadow processing in certain scenesWhy you can trust Digital Camera WorldOur expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test.The Google Pixel 7 Pro flew to the top of our best camera phones list when it launched because of its fantastic value and powerful camera system, but for 2023, the Pixel 8 Pro's main selling point seems to be software. Marketing for the new Pixel 8 series has focused on tools like its Magic Editor and Best Take rather than camera resolution or zoom, and a glance at the specs puts the Pixel 8 Pro behind the best from Apple or Samsung when it comes to gaming power. The most impressive thing about the Pixel 8 Pro looks set to be future-proofing. It will get seven years of software updates, according to Google. iPhones typically receive six years of software support, while Android phones get four years or less. The 8 Pro also brings back the Pixel line's traditionally superb imaging capabilities and a triple camera setup with a wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto camera. But do software and futureproofing really sell phones, and can its smarts argue away the Pixel 8 Pro's sub-flagship power?

It has that visor-style camera bump, but in-hand and from the front, it sports a different look and feel.The glass around the back of the 8 Pro is frosted, so it doesn't cling to fingerprints as readily as the glossy glass of past Pixels, especially in its darker color options. It also has a flat screen versus the curved display of the Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro.Packing premium appeal, the Pixel 8 Pro feels great with its polished, stark metal frame that's curved for a comfortable hold. The phone has all the usual ports and buttons: a USB-C port at the base, power and volume buttons, and a SIM card tray.(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)While the Google Pixel 8 Pro has some weight to it at 213g, it's still lighter than the 234g Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the 221g iPhone 15 Pro Max. Durability matches the key competition, with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back and IP68

Do so. First, you can install a Factory Image, which wipes your phone and starts everything from scratch. Alternatively, and the way we’ll detail here, there’s an OTA file, which installs over your current version of Android without wiping your phone.You can download the beta OTA file from Google’s Full OTA Image hosting site. That site contains OTA downloads for sideloading different updates, including the Android 16 Beta, on every Pixel and Nexus device, so you’ll need to scroll down to ensure you are downloading the file that is associated with your device. OTA downloads for Android 16 Beta 2 are provided HERE.For the Android 16 Beta, only Pixel 6/Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7/Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8/Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel Fold, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and Pixel Tablet are available.You won’t be able to install it on the original Pixel/XL, Pixel 2/XL, Pixel 3/XL, Pixel 3a/XL, Pixel 4/XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, or Pixel 5a.2. Boot into Recovery modeNext, you’ll boot your Pixel into Recovery mode. To do this, fully power down your handset. Then hold down on the Power button and the Volume down button at the same time until you get to the Bootloader page. You will know you’re in the right place when you see an Android figure lying down on the screen.Using your volume buttons, scroll down to Recovery mode. Select this by clicking the power button. Alternatively, if you’re already connected to a computer with ADB, you can use the reboot recovery command.Now, you should see a smaller Android lying down with an exclamation mark over it. From here, press the Power button and the Volume up button for about a second to fully enter Recovery mode. Releasing the Volume up button will send you into Recovery.3. Navigate to ADB sideloadUsing the volume buttons, scroll down to Apply update from ADB and select it with the power button. This will launch a mostly blank screen with text near the bottom directing you on how to sideload an OTA.4. Connect the handset to

Less may seem like a good place to put their foot down on higher costs.Still no zoom lens(Image credit: Future)Despite all the camera improvements to the Pixel 8, if you want to zoom in on a subject, you're going to have to rely on a digital zoom and the photo-processing capabilities of Google's Super Res Zoom feature. A dedicated telephoto lens is limited to Google's more expensive Pixel 8 Pro.We'd write that off as the cost of going for a less expensive smartphone, only the Pixel 8 isn't as less expensive as it used to be. It's getting close in price to the Galaxy S23, and Samsung manages to equip its entry-level smartphone with a telephoto camera.We're still not sure about battery lifeWe reserve the right to shift this mark against the Pixel 8 into the positive category should our testing reveal a big jump in battery life over the Pixel 7. But we're going to need time to put the new phone through our battery test first, and until that happens, we have to assume that the latest Pixel continues the trend of recent Google flagships of failing to hold out for a long time on a charge.The Pixel 8 could make us eat our words, as it does offer a larger battery than the power pack inside the Pixel 7. And it could turn out that the Tensor G3 handles power much more efficiently than previous Tensor silicon. But the fact that Google didn't explicitly tout the long-lasting characteristics of its new phone has us a little suspicious that recent history could repeat itself when we run our battery test on the Pixel 8.Google Pixel 8 outlookIf you're a fan of Google phones and you've been holding off for an upgrade, there's certainly enough marks in the Pixel

The Pixel 6, and the company had problems with reliability on both that generation and the Pixel 7 after it. But last year, the Pixel 8 series optical fingerprint sensor worked incredibly well. Despite that, Google swapped out the optical sensor and replaced it with an ultrasonic sensor on the Pixel 9 series.While ultrasonic fingerprint scanners work very well for some people, they're problematic for others. I happen to be one of those people who find ultrasonic sensors to be unreliable and commented on it in my Pixel 9 Pro review. Ultrasonic sensors are also very picky about which screen protectors you can use, meaning you might accidentally waste your money if you don't get the right one.Instead of all this in-display nonsense, Google should switch to a fingerprint sensor in the power button. They already do it on the Pixel Fold line and it works perfectly. The power button — or "side key" as some companies call it now — is the ideal place for a fingerprint sensor as it's easy to reach and use no matter how you're holding the phone. It's also more accurate than any in-display option.Design changesThe Pixel 9's design has caused a fair bit of controversy with its iPhone-like side rails, buttons, and other similar design cues. It also does away with the "friendly" curves Pixel phones had been moving toward for a far more sterile, industrial design. While some enjoy this new look — as Android Central's Managing Editor, Derrek Lee, noted in his Pixel 9 review — I'm not a fan.At least on the Pro models, I find the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL to be more difficult to hold without a case. Google previously said its designs are now focused toward folks who use cases, so this isn't a section that everyone will agree with or even care about, but I'd like to see Google go back to using more rounded side rails again. More specifically, I'd love to see matte rails like we had on the Pixel 6, which remains one of the most comfortable phones Google has ever made.Nick started with DOS and NES and uses those fond memories of floppy disks and cartridges to fuel his opinions on modern tech.
