Google’s Pixel-series smartphones have earned a reputation for their exceptional camera capabilities, and the Pixel 7 continues this tradition. Equipped with a dual rear camera setup comprising 50MP and 12MP sensors, this handset delivers outstanding results in various lighting conditions, be it daylight or low-light scenarios. The photos exhibit an abundance of detail and an impressive dynamic range. Google’s computational image processing can occasionally produce overly vibrant colours, but it also enhances their punchy and vivid appearance.
Now, Google’s processing skills might require a few seconds to process an image, but since it all happens in the background, you can continue to click images with fast focus and shutter speed. Moving on, the handset’s portrait mode works seamlessly on both humans and animals, producing beautiful shots with nearly perfect edge detection and a natural-looking bokeh effect. The Pixel 7’s night mode, known as Night Sight, also impresses with its ability to capture ample light and deliver excellent contrast, resulting in vivid images.
The phone also comes with a bunch of different shooting modes, including astrophotography mode, which can produce some stunning photos of celestial objects such as stars. The Pixel’s videos might not be the best, but they will do the job nicely for the price.
The Pixel 7 also has an edge over other Android smartphones when it comes to software and updates. The handset comes with just a handful of pre-installed Google apps, without any third-party apps or ads to disrupt your experience.
