Google Pixel 7 series users are reporting poor video call quality
Google Pixel 7 series users are reporting poor video call quality when using apps such as Google Meet, Telegram, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The specific issue being described as producing a very blurry and smeared image using both the front and rear cameras. The issue was initially thought to be caused by video quality limitations within Google Meet, but it has also been reported to affect other apps.
To corroborate the observation, a Redditor produced three screen captures from a Google Meet call, one from a Pixel 7, one from an iPad Pro 2018, and one from a Pixel 3XL, and the comparison showed that even the dated Pixel 3XL produced a much better picture quality than this year’s Pixel 7.
It is widely speculated that certain apps do optimize video for certain phone models, however, this doesn’t seem to be the same issue as it is more noticeable in Google Meet, an app created by Google, that if anything should be optimized to work better with Pixel phones. This issue has been reported since October, and it is hoped that Google will address it in a future software update. In the meantime, Google Pixel 7 series users may want to consider using alternative video call apps or devices to ensure better video call quality.
