Google unveils the Pixel 7 — its most private and secure phone ever

Google unveiled its latest flagship smartphones — the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro — during its "Made By Google" event on Thursday, 6 October 2022, describing the new devices as its most secure and private phones yet.

The tech giant says the latest Pixel devices offer a sleek design, improved machine learning capabilities with its latest Tensor chip, and a slew of new camera features.
 
If I was Google, I’d probably put a Tensor chip into a Chromecast and run a decent high performance competitor to Apple & Nvidia.

Oh - and I’d open up Google TV to all regions
 
Google should fire their entire R&D team. I have yet to meet anybody who complained about their phone "not being private"

No optical zoom?

Optical zoom usually has some downsides, usually light collection because of the space restrictions.

With moderns sensors, digital zoom will usually outperform a 2x or 3x optical zoom.

I've definitely heard the privacy argument, but usually then they don't want an android with Google play services, but e.g. GrapheneOS (hope I got that right, from memory) is a popular privacy focused android OS with pretty much all features working designed for pixel phones as the hardware in pixels is actually better for privacy than most other phones.
 
I see the Pixel watch is only 24hr battery as well :’(

This,there are federal agencies that use pixels..I think it's mainly for googles titan security chip. At the end of day if you care about privacy you either going to be using a phone that runs linux(hardware is crap though) or android because you can always "de-google" android...you can't really remove apple from ios so that's not option.
