Popular YouTuber and professional smartphone tormentor Zach Nelson wanted to test the new product from Google – Pixel 7 Pro. and thus test the durability of this on the screen, camera and back to really experience it.
Let’s start with what we managed to save: the screen. For comparison, the screen of the Google Pixel 7 Pro is 6.7 inches. It has a resolution of 3120×1440 pixels. The Pixel 7 Pro’s screen protection is Gorilla Glass Victus, which promises virtually shatterproof screens in addition to IP68 certification (water and dust resistance).
Gorilla Glass Victus featured on this smartphone turn out to be scratch-resistant, the first signs of damage appear at the sixth level (on the Mohs hardness scale), with deeper grooves at the seventh level. However, blades can leave large scratches just fine.
However, while this test seems to pass, let’s delve into the two main flaws that lurk in the back of this smartphone. Google.

Google’s new Pixel 7 Pro fails due to back strength
Secondly, camera panel This is the brightest design element Pixel 7Pro and its carefully polished style must be prone to scratches. However, that all-metal camera area on the back of the Pixel 7 Pro alarmingly easy to scratch with a simple key or coin.
Knowing this, what really worries me is that such an exposed and vulnerable area is just as easy to damage as it would be with just a light pass of sandpaper. Of course, for those of us who carry our mobile in a bag, it will be visible and not visible.
Highlight it The camera lens has survived several scratches.although when he did put them to the test, they failed.
To this must be added that part of the back, which should be stance. Also, doesn’t come off either. And if we put some pressure on the rear we will force a bend and kink just below the camera bar Which of course worries in terms of water resistance.
If it curves the other way, there is little movement. Of course, the cover is recommended for those who are worried about moisture and possible scratches.
Zach’s prediction is that two years from now, the Pixel 7 series phones will look like aesthetically completely ruined, even more than any previous Google smartphone released before.
It’s clear that the Pixel 7 Pro is simply not as well built as some of its direct competitors and relatives, such as Google’s Pixel 6 Pro, and requires extra care to last two to three years.
