Hi, this is the last week before I will return my Pixel 7 Pro for a refund, after owning it for a year. My replacement is the 15 Pro Max, and I thought I’d post here in case anyone has any questions regarding these two devices.
I know it’s not best comparison as the Pixel 8 Pro is out, but in any case…

I can take pictures, run benchmarks, answer other questions etc.

    The call dropping issue would cause me to switch phones too… just not to an iPhone… Best of luck!

    I don’t care about benchmarks, or camera, if the photos it takes are as good as my iPhone 4 that is enough.

    Just curious, and no judgement, why are you switching?

    My perfect phone would be basic and run GrapheneOS.

    How can you return the Pixel 7 after such a long time? Wouldn’t most return policies limit you to a few weeks or months?

    What’s driving the change for you? Just curious as I’ve been considering jumping the other way (to an undecided model of Pixel running GrapheneOS from an iPhone 11 Pro).

      I swapped from a lifetime of android, to a 15PM im not missing much nowadays. The only major feature id say is split screen but PiP does the trick most of the time for that, while not as perfect that and the keyboard being a bit slower would be the only “downgrades” i could come up with in a month of use.

      The list of things that have worked better is a lot longer, the bt and cellular modem is miles better than my old pixel 6 pro, the high refresh rate screen actually delivers high framerates more of the time and the apple intergration is so much more cohesive than googles hodge podge of integration

        This is such a consumerism comment. You are buying a closed garden ecosystem and encouraging lack of choice from a terrible company. Maybe you don’t value actual freedom with your devices, but if you have even the slightest curiosity with how your phone is operating then you’d realize iPhones are designed for the lowest common denominator and to be used one way. It discourages any other competing brands from using its software. It heavily nerfs anything that isn’t an Apple product. It’s all closed source and proprietary. It’s anti consumer. There’s more to phones then opening up the app store, installing app, and opening app from home screen.
