The Google Pixel 7 Pro is the very best camera phone out now at its T price. Why? Because for £849/$899, Google loads the phone up with a mighty camera mix, complete with a powerful periscope camera and an autofocusing ultra-wide, not to mention the same 50MP main camera you get on the Pixel 7. Google’s photography software is also incredibly clever both in the camera app and when you come to edit your photos, and video shot on it looks stupendous, too.

Of course, there’s more to a smartphone than just its camera, and the Pixel 7 Pro needs to be a hardy, good-looking phone with a great screen and long-lasting battery life. After all, it has to compete with the iPhone 14, Honor Magic 4 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22, which all cost around the same. The 7 Pro also has competition from its predecessor, the Pixel 6 Pro. It’s a very similar phone in many respects: it has the same main camera, similar power, design and battery life, and the 6 Pro’s price has dropped too since the 7 Pro launched.

But with an updated periscope camera, an ultra-wide camera with autofocus and macro capture, as well as Google’s latest camera software, is the 7 Pro the obvious choice for Android users who want the best camera phone under £1,000/$1,000?
