![]() With that, you get the versatility of this new connection without the raw throughput of the Thunderbolt 3 technology.Īpple and countless other competitors at similar price points have widely adopted Thunderbolt 3, which makes its absence in the Surface Pro 7 more glaring. ![]() Instead, it feels like Microsoft is far more inspired by its upcoming dual-screen devices, which will likely herald the future of the company’s hardware design – depending on how successful they are.Īs for the most major Surface Pro 7 design change, we get USB-C at long last, but it’s on the USB 3.1 standard and not Thunderbolt 3. Now having issued practically the same tablet for two years, it’s becoming clear that either Microsoft has reached its limits on the original Surface Pro design, which is unlikely, or the company is simply no longer interested in tweaking the Surface Pro any more – except for tinkering with the Pro X. Also, the bezels are awfully thick for a tablet of this price in 2019. But, again, this specification hasn’t changed in years, and could use an update at least in features, such as HDR and enhanced color gamut coverage. It's just as sharp, vibrant and responsive to touch as the previous generation, which was already quite impressive. The tablet's touchscreen still comes in at 12.3 inches on the diagonal with a 2,736 x 1,824 resolution (267 pixels per inch) and 3:2 aspect ratio. The tablet also still comes in the same matte black and silver aluminum finishes. The device still measures 11.5 x 7.9 x 0.33 inches (292 x 201 x 8.5mm) and weighs 1.7 pounds (770g). It feels like the best of both Apple and Samsung… albeit, with a few small sacrifices.Microsoft may have finally included a USB-C port, but absolutely nothing else has changed about the Surface Pro 7 design from last year’s model. The Google Pixel 7 Pro is snappy and responsive, has a capable battery, the camera is one of the best you’ll get in a smartphone, and it is full to the brim with clever software. The charging is slow, and it lacks some of the high-end specs Samsung, Apple and OnePlus have achieved, but these factors really don’t matter. The Google Pixel 7 Pro feels like the first time the brand has nailed the whole package, producing a well-rounded flagship phone. Google has been struggling to find its feet with smartphones for a while, never quite managing to get it all right. ![]() The screen can refresh at up to 120Hz which simply means your scrolls, jumps and swipes around the phone will stay looking smooth without any jittery lag. It features a 6.7-inch OLED display which is consistently bright and colourful. The display is also a nice experience on this device. ![]() I frequently got through a full day of medium to heavy usage with some charge left. Google has struggled with battery life in the past, but with the 5000mAh battery, it is rivalling Apple and Samsung’s largest devices. The other factor the new chip informs is battery life. It improves the phone’s ability to take photos, how it can handle speech recognition, its understanding of you as a user and generally makes the phone more capable of doing what the Google Pixel does best – impressive software. While this means a more powerful smartphone, capable of dealing with more intensive tasks, it also means better machine learning capabilities. The spec sheetįor the Google Pixel 7 Pro, Google implanted a new chipset, the Tensor G2. In most cases this works great, with the occasional moment of making a complete mess. You can completely cut out your friend trying to photobomb you, strangers ruining your perfect shot or a random item that doesn’t fit the photo. This allows you to cut things out of an image. However, the feature I got the most use out of is the magic eraser. There is an ability to remove blur from photos, whether it’s a new photo or one you took years ago on another device that was never worth using. The Pixel’s photo-editing software is also interesting. There is even a feature that will keep track of faces that appear a lot in your photos, making sure those people are more in focus in groups. The brand has made a big deal of its ‘real tone’ feature where the device can analyse skin tones to achieve more accuracy. Where Google really thrives is with its added features. Samsung can zoom for miles, Apple can take stunning up close photos and draw in colour accuracy, Google can do it all, offering a camera for all situations. The best compliment I can give the Google camera is that it is a Jack of all trades. There isn’t too much over-editing that can make it look like a filter has been slapped on a photo. Google relies on software assistance to pull accurate colours, focus on intended targets, remove blur and generally make your photos look professional.
