The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are the first flagship Google phones of 2022 – and the wait was definitely worth it.
Powered by an all-new Tensor G2 processor and featuring significant improvements to the camera and OLED display, it is a marked improvement on the Google Pixel 6.
Better yet, it has the same entry-level $999 price as its predecessor, with no sneaky markup when compared to the 2021 model. (We're looking at you, Apple.)
Not sure if the Google Pixel 7 is the right phone for you? Be sure to check out our guide to the 10 best smartphones in Australia. For the rest of you, here are the best places to buy the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro in Australia.
The Pixel 7 range starts at $999 in Australia. While we would hesitate to call that affordable, it is significantly cheaper than the flagship phones from Samsung and Apple. (The iPhone 14 starts at $1,399, while the Samsung Galaxy Fold will set you back $2,499.)
The most expensive model is the 512GB Pixel 7 Pro, which will set you back $1,599. Again, this is less expensive than Apple's equivalent phone (the iPhone 14 Pro), which weighs in at $2,249.
Here's the pricing for the full Pixel 7 range:

Which version should you buy?
If you're trying to save a few bucks, it's hard to look past the 128GB Pixel 7 – it's the only model under $1,000. It comes with a solid pair of cameras, reliable all-day battery life and the same powerful Tensor G2 processor as the Pixel 7 Pro. You also get mmWave 5G, which is something missing from the latest iPhone models.
On the other hand, if you are considering the 256GB version, we would recommend going for the 128GB Pixel 7 Pro. While it has less onboard storage, you are getting all of the advanced features of the Pro including an improved 120Hz refresh rate, double the RAM and a 48-megapixel 5x optical zoom camera for an added cost of $170. In the grand scheme of things, that isn't a huge amount of money for what amounts to a much better phone.
We asked Finder's expert phone reviewer, Alex Kidman, to weigh in with his thoughts. His verdict: get the Pixel 7 Pro.
"There's a lot to like about the Pixel 7 Pro. The slick new design looks lovely, while the cameras are generally superb.
"The slick 10Hz–120Hz capable display, the clean Android UI and the inclusion of mmWave 5G in Australia all make it a solid option if you're looking for an affordable yet premium Android experience."
You can grab the all-new Google Pixel 7 from Amazon. You can even save some dough by opting for an international version of the device, though this isn't recommended for novices.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site.
