We love the look of our Obsidian review model – the gunmetal aluminium accents are the definition of sleek. The Pixel is available in three hues – Obsidian (black/grey), Snow (white/silver) and Lemongrass (yellow/gold). The phone weighs in at just under 200g, which is some sort of goldilocks spot as the phone feels perfectly weighty and premium in the hand without feeling bulky or cumbersome. The camera bar is the most notable change, with Google swapping out the long glass strip for a metal bar that blends into the aluminium frame seamlessly. Taking the reins from the Pixel 6, which saw a major design overhaul for the Pixel brand, the 7 keeps the smooth, glossy glass design and protruding camera bar set-up, but refines practically every aspect to make for a seriously sophisticated smartphone. Google’s handset is smart and feels nice in the hand.
