Current phone pixel 8 but find it too small. 7 pro now is about $745, worth buying?

If you don't use 5G, don't mind curved screen and no 7 years software support, I would say go for it especially if good price.

Pixel 7 pro have 5g. Wait for it to drop further.

Yes it does have 5G but it is not power efficient, hence battery life won't be market leader in that sense. I am still on 4G plans thus have no reservations using my Pixel 7 as a daily driver.

How bad exactly is p7p battery life? I'm still using pixel 3a xl as my daily driver and battery life is still fantastic.

No issues with p7p batt life.. even with 5G.

I also have zero issues with the battery life/longevity of the p7p - I consider myself a light user on a daily basis.

Pixel facing new storage issue, likely tied to January Google Play system update

Following a storage access issue in October with the initial Android 14 release and multiple users, Pixel devices might be facing another problem related to the January 2024 Google Play System Update.

After updating to the January 2024 Google Play system update (which is different from the January 5, 2025 security update/patch), users report not being able to access data stored in internal storage across all apps. This results in various cascading issues, like not being able to play downloaded audio/video files or take new pictures, while the Files app appears empty. Other apps refuse to work.

This sounds similar to last year’s issue that impacted devices with multiple users enabled. However, the culprit today appears to be having that Google Play system update installed.


That said, the January 2024 update is not widely rolled out, with most Pixel (and other Android) users still on the November 2023 release. (You can check from the Settings app > Security & privacy > System & updates.) That will hopefully limit the issue from spreading to new users as Google can just halt the rollout.

Pixel 8, 7, and 6 series owners are all reporting this problem.

It remains to be seen how Google resolves the problem for those that have installed it. Last time, a system update was needed. If your device wasn’t stuck in a “Pixel is starting” boot loop, data could be recovered with the aforementioned OTA.

A Google spokesperson acknowledged the problem this evening:

“We’re aware of this issue and are looking into it.”

Tried, having "fun" with it.

I am presently on GOMO 5G.... first few days of battery drain is real.

Now its been more than 10 days and things are stabilised. Battery life is almost as close as it is with 4G.
