Over in the BigApple, two new smartphone heavy-weights have come into play and one of them has really caught my eye - so much so that I could see myself buying it as my next handset because it gets the balance just right between price, design and features. I am, of course, talking about theGoogle Pixel7.

Following on from the6th generation, which was one of thebest phonesof 2021, the Pixel 7 takes a winning formula and gives it a refresh, ready to take on the top dogs of 2022.

The camera features look incredible

Google is a pro at delivering not just an excellent camera system but one that comes loaded with tonnes of advanced AI-based features which will go a long way to improving the quality of the results.

The Google Pixel 7 looks set to be one of the most advanced mid-rangers when it comes to its photography which is all thanks to features like Real Tone which authentically portrays skin tone and Photo Unblur which fixes photos that you didn’t get quite right because of camera shake or low light.

It’s a seriously smart phone

The Google Tensor G2 chipset is featured in both of the new phones and supposedly makes machine learning run 60% faster and 20% more efficiently than before. Day to day that allows for more smarts that will all work even better than they did before.

Another new feature on Pixel 7 that has won me over is Google’s Advanced Speech Recognition Model which transcribes audio messages for times when you can’t listen to them out loud. Personally, that’s a feature I’d find myself using a lot!

The design is on point

I love the design of the Google Pixel 7 - it’s sleek and sophisticated with a smooth aluminium frame that both looks good and makes it seem more durable. The camera module has had a bit of a shakeup and I think the aluminium used there looks really attractive.

The fact that the frame is made from 100% recycled materials only goes further in convincing me that this is a great choice. But what’s really good is that the whole thing is IP68 water and dust-resistant so will survive any little accidents when you’re out and about.

When it comes to colourways, all three options look great but it was the Lemongrass, in particular, that caught my eye because it’s bright enough to be noticed but yet subtle enough not to be an eye sore.

Aside from looks, one thing that really draws me towards the Google Pixel 7 is its size and shape. I have very small hands so phones like the Google Pixel 7 Pro are just simply too big for me. But with a 6.3-inch screen and its weight coming in at only 197g the Google Pixel 7 seems like the perfect choice for me.

Its price is just right

When it comes down to it, it is the price that will be the deciding factor and the Google Pixel 7’s is just right. You’ll be able to buy it for just $599 in the US and £599 in the UK for the model with 128GB of storage.
