Coming from a Pixel 7 Pro the single biggest upgrade is the fingerprint sensor. Dramatic improvement. I turned it off before; it actually works now.

Magnetic charging is nice. The first party charger stand is just OK. I find it slightly less comfortable to hold because of the more squared sides, though I appreciate the flat front glass and the fact that it sits on tables without wobbling.

I have a pixel 7 pro and never really had issues with the fingerprint sensor :shrug:. Regardless, never buying Google again because of their decision to lock down apk installs.

Why not grab a used Pixel 9 to avoid giving Google any money, and GrapheneOS to avoid giving them any data?

The 7 Pro is still good enough for my day to day for now. My next upgrade is going to be camera focused and I'll choose accordingly. I don't even mind importing a Chinese phone as long as I can still use nfc payments.
