The new Google Pixel 7 Pro has been on the market for a few days. The TechnikNews Editors have already got hold of a test device and unpacked the smartphone. In the following, first test report, we also share our first impression of the new pixel flagship with you.
The Google Pixel 7 Pro is one of the three new products in the Google portfolio. In addition to the “normal” Google Pixel 7 there are also those Google Pixel Watch. Separate articles will be published here for both devices TechnikNews We are starting our test series this week with the Pro model of the product range. In a few weeks, a detailed conclusion will follow in the form of a test report here on the blog.

As is well known, there is nothing special in the packaging of Pixel smartphones. What's more, it hasn't changed over the years. In the box you will only find a Quick Start Guide, USB-A to USB-C adapter, and a USB-C to USB-C charging cable. The pixel in the selected color is also printed on the outside of the box. Google does not include headphones, a case, a SIM needle or other accessories with the smartphones.
Google Pixel 7 Pro first impression
The first impression of the Pro model shows that Google has learned from the mistakes of the previous model. The new in-house Tensor T2 chip does not get nearly as warm (although it still gets warmer than other processors), minor stuttering and software bugs are a thing of the past. At the market launch of the Google Pixel 6 In the series, many things were still a wild rollercoaster ride. Another big upgrade is the camera - the new macro feature is impressive and works perfectly. Taking close-up photos of things with your smartphone is now fun and no longer a problem.

The speakers are finally louder, which makes telephoning much more pleasant. The overall package is generally rounder: It also feels handier and more valuable. The newly designed camera bump no longer makes the pixel on the table wobble like the seesaw on the playground. Very well improved. Only the battery life is not quite convincing - but of course a serious opinion cannot be given at the moment.
First conclusion on the Google Pixel 7 Pro
Using the new Pro successor is fun. Annoying problems with the predecessor are a thing of the past, the camera provides a "wow" experience and the operation is as smooth as butter. We will discuss other things in the upcoming test report, but at the moment things are looking very good for the new Google smartphone, especially given the price of 899 euros (RRP). As is well known, this has not increased compared to the predecessor, the Pixel 6 Pro.
To be fast: Until today, October 17, 2022, you can still get a free Google Pixel Watch or Pixel Buds Pro with your purchase.
This series is once again not free of errors for which the user has to be a beta tester. This time it is the unlocking function via the camera, which, for example, means that Google Pay cannot be set up. Unfortunately, my Pixel 7 Pro does not run "butter-smoothly" either, but only with stutters in various applications.
