When talking about the hardware and software of the flagship series of various mobile phone manufacturers, I believe many friends can talk about it for most of the time.
Fruit iPhone 14 Pro series, 48 megapixel lens, Lingdong Island and car accident detection are the selling points this year.
Huawei Mate 50 series returns, with black technologies such as variable aperture, satellite communication and Hongmeng OS 3.0.

Only one international manufacturer, everyone may not be so familiar with it, it is the that has always been forgotten by people.
It seems that only when we are in the annual developer conference, we will think of Google. In fact, they also have a mobile phone business.
, Google's Pixel series, I wonder if anyone has bought it? Take a look at Brother Dong. As Google's own son, the
Pixel series enjoys the only system update treatment, but the hardware is not enough.
A while ago, Google released the latest Pixel 7/7 Pro, which is logically at least the new generation of "Android King".
However, from the various consumer experiences of starting the new phone, emmm, Google's two new phones seem to be unable to stand up.
Google Pixel 7 series not only has poor performance, but also has problems with basic functions. Today, Brother Dong will take a look!
Pixel 7 series
According to the old rules, let me introduce Google's newly released Pixel 7 series to those who don't know the situation.
is the same as Apple 's iPhone. Google's Pixel is also updated every year, and this year it's the turn of the 7 series.
At 23:00 on October 6, Beijing time, Google held a new product launch conference to launch the Pixel 7/7 Pro mobile phone.
looks similar to that of previous generations. They are both "explosion-proof shield" designs, but there is a difference in the lens design language.

Hardware configuration, both Pixel 7 series machines are equipped with Google's new generation of self-developed processors - Tensor G2.
processor uses Samsung 4nm process, and the CPU architecture is two high-performance super-large core Cortex X1, two large core Cortex A78 and four small core Cortex A55.
Dong Ge has also reached some of the running scores of Tensor G2. Judging from the results of Geekbench and Antutu, this processor can theoretically be close to the level of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888/888+.

On the image, the Pixel 7 is a rear dual camera, with 50-megapixel Samsung GN1 main camera + 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle.
Pixel 7 Pro has 48 megapixel Samsung GM5 Periscope telephoto lens , supporting 5x optical zoom . On the
DXOMARK list, Pixel 7 Pro won the best results of ranking first in the image, second in the screen, and third in selfies.

Price, Pixel 7 8+128GB $599, 8+256GB $699.
Pixel 7 Pro 12+128GB $899, 12+256GB $999, 12+512GB $1099.
is the cheapest $599, which is about RMB 4309; the most expensive $1099, which is about RMB 7907.
It is not difficult to see from the product positioning and pricing that Google is selling the Pixel 7 series as flagship phones.
experience has a 100 million spread
However, Brother Dong wants to say that, the experience of the Pixel 7 series cannot reach the price level.
For example, B station UP @Golden Retriever Review Dog targets Pixel 7 Pro and tests the performance of the performance party that is very concerned about.

Genshin Impact ran away, and the data was dumbfounded.
Pixel 7 Pro average frame rate is 37.2 FPS, while Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is 58.4 frames, Xiaomi 12S Ultra is 57.7 frames, and Redmi K50 Pro is 52.9 frames.
Among the flagship mobile phones this year, this game performance can be said to be at the bottom. . .

This also conforms to his previous conclusion. Tensor G2 CPU performance is close to Exynos2100, not as good as Snapdragon 888.
and GPU is a mid-range Soc, with very low performance and low power consumption, so it is completely impossible to compare with flagship processors.

In addition to the poor gaming performance, Pixel 7 Pro has many problems, the second-ranked screen on the DXOMARK list.
At the beginning, media XDA reported that the Pixel 7 Pro screen will consume more power when used at higher brightness.
For example, when the brightness of 600 nits, the power consumption of Pixel 7 Pro is about 3.5-4W, while the power consumption of 1000 nits will reach 6W.
has much higher power consumption than previous generations and other Android flagships. For example, under high brightness outdoor use, it consumes 10% of the power in just 15 minutes.

There are media Android Central reports that Some users complained that the Pixel 7 Pro screen does not slide smoothly.
It seems that the keyboard failure during typing has become common, and the display content is too long and sliding, and the hin is not smooth.
Some users also said that in some apps, the movement of sliding left and right must be much larger to be responsive.
As for whether it is a hardware problem or a software bug, Brother Dong has not seen any positive response from Google.

As a flagship phone priced at several thousand yuan, it is Google's own son series, and its performance is indeed a bit too high.
Someone may want to say that the Pixel 7 series is actually focusing on the image flagship, and the requirements in other aspects cannot be too high.
But Brother Dong wants to say that no matter what aspect the mobile phone is mainly focused on, your own positioning and price are here, and you have to do it well.
After all, users spend money, because they believe that the brand is in order to have a better user experience, rather than "Long live understanding"?
also hopes that Google can pay attention to the Pixel series. If it cannot be achieved as the level of Apple and Samsung flagship, don’t drag it down.
