Google Pixel 7: Size Comparison
Google has finally launched the new Pixel 7 lineup in all its glory. Both smartphones were first teased quite a while back at Google I/O 2022, but were released some 5 months later. Nevertheless, the wait was very much worthwhile.
The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are Android at its very best. They embody everything that Google stands for, both in terms of software and hardware. In a sense, they are bound to be one of the biggest contenders in the smartphone market. The question is - how do they measure up? No, that is our question, literally.

In the following paragraphs, we have compiled a handy size comparison between the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro, and their competition. Admittedly, bigger is not necessarily better, but, in the smartphone world in particular, size does matter.
Google Pixel 7 vs Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Google Pixel 7a
Naturally, the first parallel that we want to draw will be between the Pixel smartphones themselves. The size gap between the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro has increased with this generation, which now puts the former squarely in the middle, with the Pixel 7a (Google's mid-range smartphone) falling on the small end of the spectrum. Together, the trio should satisfy any size preference, giving users a clear choice between small(ish), bigger and biggest.
Google Pixel 7 vs Samsung Galaxy S23 vs Asus Zenfone 9
Google made a strange choice when it comes to the size of the standard Pixel 7. It is noticeably smaller than most Android smartphones (for reference, 6.5" is considered a "normal size" in Android terms), but still quite a bit bigger than other smallish flagships - like the Samsung Galaxy S23. At 6.3", the Pixel 7 will be bigger than most small smartphones (like the Asus Zenfone 9), but will also be dwarfed by the vast majority of Android flagships.
Google Pixel 7 vs Apple iPhone 14 vs Apple iPhone 14 Plus
A similar situation as the one explained above arises on Apple's side of the market as well. The Pixel 7 is a bit bulkier than the iPhone 14, the smallest iPhone released in 2022. However, it is also nowhere near the iPhone 14 Plus in terms of size and it dwarfs last year's iPhone 13 mini. Whether this screen size offers the best or the worst of both worlds, is a decision left for the users to make.
Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra vs OnePlus 11
Unlike its smaller brother, the Pixel 7 Pro comes equipped with one of the gold standards when it comes to screen size in the smartphone world - 6.7". This puts it precisely in line with most Android flagships (like the OnePlus 11). It should be noted that it is still a hair smaller than some giants, like Samsung's monstrous 6.8" Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max
There is only one iPhone that truly rivals the Pixel 7 Pro, and that is the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The latter features the same screen size and also aims to offer similar top-of-the-line specs. Apple's other "Pro" option, the iPhone 14 Pro, almost feels compact in comparison, with its 6.1" display.
