The Pixel 7s are good smartphones and take great photos, but Google knew how to make the successors more attractive in all respects. The 8s are faster, brighter and more durable, deliver even better photos and offer exclusive (AI) functions. Last but not least, the 8 series is the safe choice in the long term with its update promise extended from five to seven years...

It still offers many software extras and is therefore one of the best Android mobiles.

Google's Pixel Pro differs from the cheaper Pixel7 in a few details, the first being the extra telephoto focal length. But it is also larger, and the long display edges are curved, while the Pixel7's display is flat.

There is a common thread running through the entire test: The Pixel 7 is similar to the Pixel 6 in many respects, but there are no big surprises. However, Google has made the right adjustments: more power for the processor, more sophisticated software, chicer design - all at the same price as the predecessor and with long support. The Pixel brand is increasingly becoming a price-performance hit.
