It is, and I quite enjoy it.

It’s the 7 Pro. The battery has no problem lasting all day but will definitely need to be charged at night. I use my phone for business and personal, so calls and emails all day.

My wife and I switched to the Pixel after being with the galaxy lineup since 2011. I’ve not missed a single bit of Samsung bloat and the experience has been phenomenal. Our cameras with the Samsung devices always seemed to artificially degrade near the release of their next model. You could always try them out and compare. That’s the beauty of return policies.

I have been with the Galaxy lineup since the original S model. Switched to the Pixel 7 Pro this year and I’m not looking back. What a phenomenal experience it’s been. Samsung has been increasing their bloat over the years and I am just done with it.

Pixel 7 Pro here. Nobody has mentioned to me about messages failing. That’s not to say it isn’t happening, just that no one has said anything. I absolutely love the phone, for what it’s worth.
