The 10 Best Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro Accessories
The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are now available and bring excellent upgrades in the camera and software departments.
While they are impressive right out of the box, pairing them with the right accessories can help you get the most out of them and keep them out of harm’s way.
Here are the best accessories for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
1. Google Pixel Watch
Google’s first-ever branded smartwatch is shaping up to be the best smartwatch for Android, especially if you have a Google Pixel. It packs the best of Wear OS and Fitbit fitness tracking into a sleek and beautiful package that outright stands out from the other offerings in the market.
It still suffers from first-generation problems with chunky bezels and below-average battery life, but beyond that, the Pixel watch is nothing short of impressive. It provides the most accurate heart rate measurements in a smartwatch, along with reliable fitness tracking powered by Fitbit.
On the other hand, the onboard Wear OS 3.5 is smooth, fast, and easy to use. It offers a plethora of apps and intelligent software features you’ll expect from Google, such as Google Assistant. You’ll also like the pre-installed watch faces, which do an incredible job of making the chunky bezels less of a distraction.
2. Anker 511 Charger (Nano 3, 30W)
The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro improve on the previous flagship phones in a few key ways, but not in the battery department. The new Pixel phones have almost the same battery capacity and support 21W and 23W fast charging as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. That means if you’re upgrading from the Pixel 6 series, you don’t need a new fast charger.
For those coming from another device or looking for a replacement charger, the Anker 511 Charger (Nano 3, 30W) is a great choice for fast charging the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. At 30W, it’s plenty powerful for either model and meets the USB Power Delivery PPS standard required to fast charge the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series. It’s also more compact and affordable than Google’s official 30W adapter.
3. Caseology Parallax for Google Pixel 7 Pro Case
One of the best ways to ensure your Pixel 7 Pro remains safe and in pristine condition for longer is to slap a case on it. The Caseology Parallax strikes a great balance between weight and durability. It protects your phone from all sides with a certified military-grade design, raised bezels around the screen and cameras, and reinforced corners without adding unwanted bulk to the phone.
The stylish two-tone colors add a fresh look to your Pixel 7 Pro, and it’s possible to choose from four colorways to match your other accessories. In addition, the case has a matte finish and a hex-textured design on all common grip points, which makes it easy to hold the phone and prevent accidental drops. It fits perfectly, and the buttons are clicky and responsive.
4. Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector for Pixel 7 Pro
Whitestone has a proven track record of producing high-quality tempered glass screen protectors that feel as much like the original screen as possible, and its latest offering for the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro is no exception. It’s going to cost you, but you’re paying for incredible clarity and excellent touch sensitivity.
The Whitestone Dome Glass is one of the few tempered glass protectors built with the Pixel 7 Pro’s curved screen in mind. It curves around the edges to provide full protection, and it also plays well with the in-display fingerprint, thanks to the patented liquid dispersion technology with UV curing.
The installation process can be a little daunting, but Whitestone provides a video tutorial to guide you through the process. It comes with all the required accessories for perfect alignment and installation.
5. Google Pixel Buds Pro
The Google Pixel Buds Pro is a great pair of wireless earbuds for anyone using a Pixel device. They are the latest addition to the Pixel Buds lineup, and this time around, Google adds active noise cancellation support to compete with the best wireless earbuds from the likes of Apple and Sony.
The Buds Pro sounds great, with heavy, punchy bass and well-balanced mids and highs. They are great for music and voice calls but stand out more from the crowd with their comfortable fit and intelligent features. You’re only one tap away from using Google Assistant to do things like ask for directions or control smart home devices.
Onboard, you get a good set of features, including touch controls, multi-device connectivity, and transparency mode, which lets you be aware of your surroundings. What’s better is that you can access most of the Pixel Buds controls in the native phone settings if you have a Pixel smartphone.
6. Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case for Pixel 7 Pro
If you want to showcase the beauty of your Pixel 7 Pro but are afraid of going caseless, slapping a transparent case on your phone can give you the best of both worlds. Spigen has made quite a name for itself in the clear case space, and once again, they make one of the best clear cases for the Pixel 7 Pro with the Ultra Hybrid.
It’s a high-quality transparent case featuring a soft TPU bumper and scratch-resistant polycarbonate back. The flexible TPU makes it easy to install the case on your phone, and it features Air Cushion Technology on the corners for improved drop protection.
Most clear cases tend to turn yellow after a few weeks, but the Ultra Hybrid will last a couple of months thanks to the infused blue resin. It also has raised edges to protect the screen and camera bar from surface scratches. If you’re crazy about the Pixel 7 Pro’s design and colors, this case will let you flaunt your new Pixel device without worrying about scratches or damaging it.
7. Google Pixel Stand (2nd gen)
The Google Pixel Stand (2nd gen) is the perfect wireless charger for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. It’s the only wireless charging stand that can deliver the full 23W output to the Pixel 7 Pro and 20W to the Pixel 7, which are the fastest possible charging speeds for Google’s new flagship phones.
It’s faster than Apple’s MagSafe technology and comes with all the required accessories, including a 30W USB-C adapter. And since it sits upright, this charger props up your phone in a position where you can easily see incoming phone notifications or use the new Face Unlock feature to quickly get back to your phone.
you could get cheaper alternatives from third-party brands like Anker, but the extra cost gives you better build quality and faster-charging speeds. Other Qi wireless chargers are limited to 12W on Pixel phones, and you may miss out on the built-in fan, which prevents your phone from overheating.
8. iOttie iON Wireless Duo
The iOttie iON Wireless Duo is another wireless charger designed for the Google Pixel lineup of mobile devices. It has dedicated charging spots for a phone and wireless earbuds, allowing you to charge your Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel Buds at the same time.
It delivers up to 15W to any recent Google Pixel phone, which makes it slightly faster than other third-party Qi wireless chargers, which are limited to 12W. It also keeps your Pixel phone in an upright position, allowing you to check notifications and use your phone hands-free.
The iON Wireless Duo comes with a charging cable and adapter included. It can charge your phone in either landscape or portrait mode, and since it’s an official Made for Google accessory, you don’t have to worry about damaging your Pixel devices.
9. ESR HaloLock Universal Ring 360
MagSafe is one of the best smartphone innovations in recent years. The feature is exclusive to iPhones, but thanks to MagSafe adapters, you may add MagSafe compatibility to your Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro and enjoy all the benefits of MagSafe, ranging from MagSafe charging to attaching MagSafe wallets, battery packs, and MagSafe mounts.
The ESR HaloLock Universal Ring 360 is one of the best MagSafe adapters available. It has a strong magnetic attachment, three times the strength of the iPhone’s built-in magnets. That means MagSafe accessories remain securely attached to the back of your phone. It’s available in four distinct colors, so it’s possible to match it to your phone or case.
10. Spigen Pixel 7 Optik Lens Protector
The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are some of the best camera phones available, and the last thing you want to do is scratch the camera lens or, worse, damage it. While most phone cases have raised bezels to protect the camera visor, the only sure way to keep the premium lens out of harm’s way is to use a camera lens protector.
The Pixel 7 Optik Lens Protector from Spigen is made with durable, 9H-rated tempered glass and has an anti-fingerprint coating to keep it clean and clear. It doesn’t affect the camera quality and works with most cases from Spigen and other manufacturers. You get two pieces and an alignment kit for perfect installation.
