The right reflex

When a seller offers you a Pixel, ask for the exact model name, the storage and the IMEI number. The only names in this family are Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 7a. Any other name, such as "Pixel 7 Pro XL", should alert you.

Until when are Pixel 7 models updated?

Google promises 5 years of updates from launch: until about October 2027 for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, until about May 2028 for the Pixel 7a.

On the official page of its update policy, Google states that the Pixel 6 to 7a receive "5 years of OS and security updates", counted from their release date on the US Google Store.

That is one year more than the Pixel 6, whose support ends in October 2026. For a phone supported for 7 years, you need to move to the Pixel 8 or a newer model: read our guide Pixel 8 in Cameroon.

Pixel 7 Pro XL: it does not exist

There is no "Pixel 7 Pro XL". The large model of this generation is called the Pixel 7 Pro, with a 6.7-inch screen.

The Pixel 7 Pro is the model that matches this search: a big screen, a 5,000 mAh battery and 5x optical zoom. It is in stock with us: Google Pixel 7 Pro 128GB.

Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro: what is the difference?

The Pixel 7 Pro has a bigger, smoother screen, a bigger battery and a 5x telephoto. The Pixel 7 is lighter and cheaper.

Torn with an iPhone or a Samsung?

The Pixel 7 Pro compares mainly with an iPhone 13 or a Galaxy S22, released at the same time. Its strengths: the camera and the software support announced by Google.

Many customers hesitate between a Pixel 7 and an iPhone 13, an iPhone 14 or a Galaxy S22. Each brand has its strengths: the Pixel for photos and artificial intelligence features, the iPhone for simplicity and resale, Samsung for the variety of models. To compare brand against brand, read our guide iPhone or Samsung in Cameroon.

In 2026, is a Pixel 7 still a good buy?

Yes, the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, if you want a Pixel supported until October 2027 at a lower price than a recent model. For 7 years of support, choose a Pixel 8 or newer instead.

The Pixel 7 models keep real strengths: the Tensor G2 chip, a very good camera and 5 years of support until about October 2027. What you give up compared with recent models: the 2 extra years of support of the Pixel 8 and the camera and artificial intelligence features of later generations.

SIM or eSIM: check before you buy

The version you receive may vary depending on its country of origin. Ask your adviser which version is delivered (nano-SIM and eSIM), then check with your network (MTN, Orange or Camtel) that eSIM is available if needed.

Before you buy: three checks

For a phone of this value, check three points: the phone is brand new, its IMEI is clean and the warranty is clear.

  1. Brand new and sealed. A genuine new Pixel arrives in a sealed box. Our guide on how to buy a phone safely lists the points to check.
  2. Clean IMEI. Our guide on checking the IMEI shows how to do it in a few minutes.
  3. Clear warranty. Find our terms on the warranty and returns page and the delivery page.

You then order on WhatsApp, without creating an account. Your adviser replies in under 5 minutes and confirms the colour, the storage and payment by Orange Money or MTN MoMo.
