design
0 I like the design of Google Pixel 7 because it is very original. This phone is equipped with a horizontal camera module, which is difficult to find on flagship phones. The module is made of recycled aluminum, the frame of the device is also made of aluminum, while the back is made of glass and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, just like the front glass. Therefore, with this equipment you can get high quality materials and excellent manufacturing processes. The phone is even waterproof and dust-proof, with IP68 certification. Xiaomi 12 is also made of high-quality materials, including the back glass protected by Gorilla Glass 5, the front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and an aluminum frame. It's also high-end, but the Pixel is actually better at making craftsmanship.

If we test the theoretical specifications, Xiaomi 12 looks to have an excellent display. It has an AMOLED panel that can display up to 628 million colors at a 6.28-inch diagonal, 1080 x 2400 pixels in full HD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification and in-display fingerprint scanner. For the Google Pixel 7, it has an AMOLED display with a 6.3-inch corner line, , 1080 x 2400 pixels full HD+ resolution, 90 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification and in-display fingerprint reader. Both phones come with stereo speakers for improved audio experience, but they don’t have a 3.5mm audio jack.

The octa-core architecture consists of a Cortex X2 CPU with a maximum frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs with a operating frequency of 2.5 GHz, four Cortex A510 CPUs with a operating frequency of 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU.

On the other hand, it has Android 13 native system, and as Google's own son it will get faster software support.
