The Pixel 7 Pro allows you to change the screen resolution manually
If you take a look at the screenshot below, you’ll see the screen resolution page in Settings. You can access it by going to Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution on the Pixel 7 Pro.
You can choose between fulllHD+ aka 1080p and QHD+ aka 1440p resolutions. The phone defaults to a fullHD+ resolution, by the way. You can easily change that, and if you want to get the most out of this display, you probably should. The impact on the battery life is minimal, at least it was during our usage. We didn’t really notice a significant change. On the other hand, the vast majority of people won’t even notice the difference between fullHD+ and QHD+ resolutions on this phone. As a reminder, the Pixel 7 Pro features a 6.7-inch QHD+ panel which is curved. It’s curved less than the Pixel 6 Pro’s display, though, and that’s something many people will appreciate. Yes, you notice it during usage, definitely.
This is an adaptive 120Hz display, and it can get quite bright
This is also an AMOLED display, of course, and it offers a 120Hz refresh rate. It offers an adaptive refresh rate, and it can move between 10Hz and 120Hz, actually. The display will also switch between 60Hz and 120Hz in its default setting. In case you’re wondering, yes, it does get bright enough. The phone can go all the way up to 1,500 nits of brightness when needed, that’s the most it can offer. Needless to say, that is immensely bright. Not as bright as the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max offer, but you’ll never feel like it’s difficult to see what’s going on, not even in direct sunlight. We’ve already reviewed the Pixel 7 Pro, in case you’d like to know more about the device. It turns out it does offer a number of improvements over the Pixel 6 Pro, and it does feel like a more refined product.
