Google Pixel 7 Pro happens to be the latest flagship smartphone from the Mountain View, California-headquartered company. Pixel has managed to make a mark in the flagship segment of smartphones, over the last few years, mainly relying on its top-notch camera attributes. Though it doesn’t yet look to be a firm contender to the latest iPhones, Pixel remains a statement in the Android category of flagship smartphones.
At the first look, the new Google Pixel 7 Pro appears to be a slight upgrade over its predecessor. For the uninitiated, the Android flagship smartphone is largely dominated by Samsung, who’s Galaxy S23 Ultra has created a sort of frenzy in recent times. OnePlus also has become something like a dark horse with premium phones like the OnePlus 11. But still, there’s space for Google to tap in and the latest Pixel 7 Pro seems to push its limits to hit the bull’s eye.
Should you go for the recent-most Pixel phone? Would it be wise to spend as much as $899 bucks? Let’s delve deeper to figure out the answers, as we discover all the important aspects you need to know about this supercool device.

At present, Apple has not only the lead but it’s actually winning the race hands down.
