Update 16/10/24
With Android 15, 5G/VoLTE/WiFi Calling now works without issues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 21/12/23
With the December update, 5G/VoLTE now works without root.
It took a while, but I think the device is now mature for the Greek market.
I finally returned to the factory version and have no complaints.
----------------------------------------------
Update 11/10/2023
After installing the latest version 14 of Android, I notice much better battery life and also the phone doesn’t heat up like before.
Additionally, (and more importantly) in the last update coming in December (QPR1), it seems that 5G/VoLTE works with all providers (Cosmote/Vodafone/Nova) without the need for root.
Anyone who installs the Android 14 QPR1 Beta 2 version can verify this themselves.
For the rest, a little patience and it seems that the issue will be resolved, even if with a significant delay.
Update 3/4/2023
For those who cannot get VoWiFi to work after the March update:
You can have VoWiFi with Cosmote with the March version with root. Just create a new APN.
Name: IMS
APN: ims
APN type: ims
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
Update 17/3/2023
After the March update, VoLTE now works in Greece.
5G, WiFi calling still require root.
Update 20/12
No official solution so far.
I rooted the device and everything works normally now (5G + VoLTE).
If the problem is ever resolved, I will return to the official ROM.
Update 29/11
The solution I have found so far that seems to work is:
I completely disabled WiFi calling/VoLTE from Cosmote (from the provider itself).
I turned off the "Adaptive connectivity" option.
Things are clearly better than before - but not perfect.
I hope the December update will resolve these issues.
Update 7/11
The only solution so far is to switch the connection to 3G (thus 2G).
This way calls work but you don’t have internet.
There hasn’t been any other update yet.
Update 4/11
For the past 2 days, I have been experiencing issues with calls. I get calls and it shows that I am talking.
I read that many others abroad are having issues with calls and I am waiting to see if there will be any update.
--------------------------------------------
I bought the phone from Google UK for £849 and I have had it for about a week.
What I have noticed is, I think, more or less known.
1. Regarding photography, I really don’t know how much better it can get. I am amazed by the quality and the features that the new AI has brought to improvement and editing.
2. The battery easily lasts a day with considerable use.
3. It’s not suitable for heavy gaming.
4. The screen is excellent (I like it more than the screen of the S20+ I had).
5. 5G/VoLTE don’t work, but I have no issues with signal and LTE speed.
6. The fingerprint sensor is fine - no complaints.
7. The Samsung Galaxy Watch works perfectly (+ the buds).
Overall, as far as I understand, you don’t buy it for the hardware but for its software, and so far it justifies the choice I made.
I would definitely buy it again and would recommend it along with the regular Pixel 7 to anyone looking to switch from Samsung/Xiaomi, etc.
Something many have asked me is whether I would take the small one instead of the Pro.
The only reason to get the Pro is if you care about the zoom and the larger screen. Absolutely no other reason. Whether it's worth the price difference... that's another story. I didn't want a smaller screen, so I chose the Pro. Other than that, they are exactly the same phones.
In terms of hardware, you can find much better devices, that's for sure. But I don't think anyone buys this device with that criterion.
* There are some bugs here and there, but I'm sure they will be fixed in the coming months. Nothing significant that bothers me so far.
** The photo unblur feature is incredible, especially for old scanned photos. I don't know what the reviews say, but the old family photos became new again. Even those that were out of focus, not just blurry.
*** In the device's network settings, there is an unlocked option for 5G, LTE, or 3G, which reinforces my suspicion that the reason we don't have 5G is due to the provider and not Google.

I have had this device for about 4 months and I would like to share my opinion after my experience with other Samsung, Xiaomi, and Apple devices. I will not go into detail about the positive features, as they are already known, such as the camera, the screen, the sound, the speed, etc. Instead, I will focus on the disadvantages that, if I had known from the beginning, I would have chosen a different device.
Unfortunately, I did not have time to do thorough market research.
Battery: The battery, with a full charge in the morning, lasts about 3-4 hours with continuous screen usage and basic use of social apps, email, etc. If I also use the camera during the day, the battery life decreases even more. I had not experienced my device shutting down due to battery in many years, and it happened now with the Pixel.
Charging: Although it supports fast charging, the charging is not as fast as it could be for a device of this category. It takes about 2 hours to charge from 5% to 100%, while if you have used other devices like Xiaomi that support super-fast charging, you will be very disappointed with this aspect. Although I understand that slower charging can help with battery life in the long run, I would prefer a better user experience during the years, even if the battery drains faster later on.
Signal and calls (the "cherry on top"): All the previous disadvantages may not have bothered me as much, but the signal and calls greatly disappointed me. Immediately after purchasing the device, I would miss 6 out of 10 calls, and the message to the caller would say that it was turned off without informing me about those calls (COSMOTE). The VOLTE service did not work from the beginning, which is the service that allows simultaneous use of the phone and the internet when you are not connected to Wi-Fi, something that I consider very useful. Additionally, the VOWIFI service does not work, so I cannot receive calls via Wi-Fi when the signal is weak. All these problems required prior research and the use of tools like Shizuku and IMS to resolve, except for the 5G support that is not available yet. However, the average user cannot dedicate time to address these issues, and they will not be able to adjust it every time there is an update from scratch. (Note: For users experiencing issues with VOLTE, even if they have installed Shizuku, they should know that it is an issue with the APN and they need to add another one, information that can be found in various social groups).
So, we have the following problems: battery, charging, calls, and signal, and for all these negatives, you have to pay €868. Quite expensive!
(The camera is excellent, but do not expect the same for videos. Anyway, you know that when you buy an Android, you cannot have everything perfect, not that Apple is okay in everything, but it definitely has better video quality.)

2 years with the Pixel 7 Pro, I really enjoyed the last 5-6 months since the 5G issue was resolved. Generally, I rarely keep a phone for this long. Sturdy, good UX, it had some issues with overheating especially during wireless charging. It was a pretty good phone to convince me not to switch to an iPhone and to go for the Pixel 9 Pro XL, which I just ordered.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful? - This review is about the capacity: 128 GB
Close to a year with the Google Pixel 7 Pro, I can say that it is overall an excellent device regarding daily needs; it will not disappoint you. In the camera category, it is flagship, photos and videos with the main lens at an impeccable level, as well as the selfie. The Tensor G2 processor is nothing special; it will definitely cover your daily needs, however, it is a power-hungry processor, and especially if you use data more than Wi-Fi (you might be on the road all day and need to move with data), it will significantly drain the battery. Slow charging in general; I come from Realme, which had 67W really fast charging. At first, I didn't like it much, but as it turned out, I prefer slow charging as it rewards you with better and longer battery life.
Two negatives. Firstly, because the processor is power-hungry, in the summer, the phone will raise temperatures, and it will ruin the battery, especially if you are on data all day (you will need a second charge during the day). Secondly and lastly, is the phone's antenna for Wi-Fi and signal. The antenna is small and quite weak. For a phone that belonged to the flagship category in the fall of '22 when it was released, Google should have put a better modem for the price category of the phone

Although it is almost 2 years old, it is still an excellent device, 5G now works properly, it is fast with amazing screen and cameras. The telephoto lens gives new capabilities and the zoom is amazing. I don't think there is a device on the market with its features for less than 600€

15/10/24: Now, after the latest update and the installation of Android 15, WiFi calling works in Greece, at least with Vodafone, which I have.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the year 2024, this specific phone at the price it is offered (around 600 euros) is simply the best! I am one of the "lucky" ones who purchased it recently, and it now has resolved its previous issues, with 5G and VoLTE functioning perfectly. The only feature that is still not available in Greece is WiFi calling (unless the device is rooted).
Other than that, the phone is truly incredible! Amazing 2k display with adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz, strong, clear, and rich sound, fast everywhere and always, stock Android is a delight, very satisfactory battery, noticeably lighter compared to other flagship phones, and of course, cameras that are beyond criticism!
As for the "negatives" of the phone, initially, there is the lack of official support in Greece, the not-so-customizable launcher, relatively slow charging, the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and its small storage space. Personally, since I work with cloud storage and send everything there, I wasn't concerned about the capacity. Also, detailed customization (icons, etc.) doesn't bother me (and besides, anyone who wants can download a launcher from the Play Store), and I believe that slower charging is better since, as many say, it contributes to a longer battery life. As for wired headphones, anyone who wants can simply buy a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter at minimal cost and the issue is resolved.
From there on, the phone competes with devices that are double or more in price! It has many smart features and settings to make your daily use even easier and more enjoyable, and it can be tailored to your needs. I faced absolutely no issues with connectivity (Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, etc.), nor with signal, calls, etc. The battery easily lasts a day with relatively heavy use.
And something I noticed that impressed me about how "smart" the phone is: I set an alarm for 07:45 in the morning, plug the phone to charge at 00:30 at night, and it tells me that it will perform gradual slow charging, which will complete by 07:45 in the morning, in order to contribute to the battery's lifespan! (of course, this is an option that you can choose not to "accept" if you don't want it)
Now regarding the cameras, as a professional photographer, I am truly impressed by the performance of this phone both in photos and videos, as well as the editing tools it offers in combination with AI. And I repeat, all of this at a cost of 600 euros, at a time when devices with similar capabilities have at least double the price!
One downside I must mention here, although it probably doesn't concern a large percentage of users, is that during 4k video recording at 60fps, the phone heats up, and after about 5 minutes of continuous recording, it drops the "quality" of the video to 30fps. At 30fps, it has never caused me any temperature issues.
In conclusion, I give it 5 stars without a doubt, and truly if someone is not concerned about the negatives I mentioned or does not have a desire for a specific phone brand, they should buy it without hesitation!Translated from Greek ·- Call quality

Hello and greetings to everyone!
As the owner of this phone since April 2023 and coming from an iPhone, I have to say that the phone is truly amazing!! Incredibly fast, it doesn't lag at all, it has many more and better apps compared to the iPhone, an amazing camera, very good build quality, a very bright screen with excellent clarity, and much better voice typing compared to the iPhone. The only negative is its battery, which lasts at most 1 to 1.5 days with moderate use.
Of course, with its Google charger, it charges in 30 minutes.
A huge drawback of Google was the lack of support for 5G/WiFi Calling in Greece.
However, with the latest update in December 2023, 5G was restored and it works perfectly!
I haven't found out yet how to activate WiFi Calling.
Maybe that will be resolved later on.
Anyway, it's an amazing phone and I am very satisfied!Translated from Greek ·- Call quality

One of the most annoying features of the phone is that after about 10 minutes, it starts to have interference during calls and sometimes I have to talk through an application. I never had this problem with a previous smartphone. Also, sometimes some apps would freeze, specifically certain games. Additionally, it is very frustrating to try to answer a call and find the phone in message mode after an hour. Pathetic! I don't think this happens with any other smartphone. I give it 2 stars only for the camera

After 2 months of use, in a few words: the best mobile phone I've had so far. Amazing photos, top-notch screen with a unique "velvety" touch sensation, fast in all functions, very good sound and excellent call quality. The only drawback is the slow charging, but I don't deduct a star for that.

//* With the December 2023 upgrade, the 5G and VoLTE work with all providers. Finally, we can say that the mobile is functional with Greek networks. VoWiFi is still missing, but that's not so important (at least for me). *//
--
The mobile is bulky, one of the largest sizes you can find on the market. It is somewhat difficult to handle with one hand, it gets tiring after a while, often requiring the use of both hands.
--
The photos are very good, specifically the photos from the main camera. The photos from the ultra-wide lens and the zoom lens are good in good lighting conditions, but the quality noticeably drops at night, it is evident that the lenses do not have sensors that can capture enough light. The front camera takes satisfactory photos, but nothing amazing. The video has improved compared to previous models, it is satisfactory, but unfortunately, when the main lens is not used, the quality noticeably decreases. Google follows the same strategy with this model as it did with previous ones: average hardware with the software trying to improve the mediocre results of the hardware.
--
The screen is quite good, the QHD resolution is ideal for the size of the mobile. The brightness outdoors is satisfactory.
--
The call quality is very good. The speaker is so loud that most of the time the volume is not comfortable at the highest level and you have to lower it. Also, the issue with dropped calls seems to have been fixed with the updates.
--
The speaker has volume, but the sound is somewhat poor. It lacks depth and this lack is noticeable, especially when compared to other devices, even mid-range ones from other companies.
--
The battery is average to good. That is, without heavy usage, it will last the day, but it's not something amazing. It depends on the usage, it may need to be charged during the day.
--
The software is what one expects in a Pixel device, simple and clean Android without third-party apps that cannot be deleted.
--
--
Overall, it is a device that can be appreciated more by power users and Pixel fanboys. It is not bad, but for the average user, a Samsung device that offers a more comprehensive package of experience would probably be more suitable.Translated from Greek ·- Call quality

The mobile phone is nice and fast, the only problem is that because it is not supported in Greece by Google, various basic functionalities do not work, such as 5G, VoLTE, and VoWiFi. If someone deals with it, they can fix it with root, but it is not the best solution.

3 stars because I encountered 2 defective models, back to back, with the screen displaying marks from inside the glass (empty air, moisture, or something similar) within 1-2 months of use. It is impossible for me to trust the manufacturing quality of this specific model, so I am moving on to another phone.
It still has the best camera and the best software you will find for this price range, but the battery is relatively disappointing.

I am very satisfied with my phone after 2 months of daily use. The only thing I didn't know when I got it and learned later is that the 5G protocol is not available in Greece. Other than that, it works great, has a very good screen, and I have no complaints about its functionality. Maybe it could have been a little cheaper. For example, the search bar doesn't go away from the home screen no matter what!
5G is finally here! Another problem that is persistent, is the missed calls. around one in every three calls doesn't come to the phone. Rather, it appears as a message for a missed call due to network problems. But it is not a network problem, as it happens everywhere, even with 5G- Call quality

A guide for those who want to buy this phone and go through the root process to have 5G:
1) Follow the classic method of unlocking and rooting from these videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzQTOv0Kcvs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JQ8xrpW2iU
2) Install the universal safety net fix through magisk (module):
https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix
3) Hide magisk. Go to magisk settings and add Google Wallet and all money and banking apps to the deny list.
4) Check it with yansac and play integrity checker if they pass:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rikka.safetynetchecker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.nikolasspyr.integritycheck
5) To enable VOLTE, you used to need PIXEL IMS and shizuku, but now they fixed it.
6) To enable 5G, download Network Signal Guru and go to Forcing Control -> SIM1 -> NR MODE SETTING and select SA+NSA.

The phone is the epitome of an excellent Android experience. It's like Apple, but on Android.
Important note: after an update, any issues with calls have been resolved.
Photos are unbeatable, as a whole, you'll never have an ugly click, and that's important.
The x5 zoom is much more convenient than the x2, for example, on other devices. The screen and colors are very good.
I never had an issue with the software or any reboots.
If you're in the Google ecosystem or plan to enter it, don't think twice.On the negative side, I would put the battery where it still needs work, of course, due to my work, I make excessive use of the phone, so for normal conventional use, I have no opinion.

To put things bluntly, if you want to use your phone correctly, it requires root access. Otherwise, when you're not connected to wifi and using data, you won't receive calls. The process requires a PC, it's not terribly difficult, but someone unfamiliar with it may struggle. If you don't use data at all, you may not have an issue. I had LTE with Cosmote without root.
As for performance:
*It takes perfect photos (not just because the cameras are good, but also because of the operating system).
*It's fast (not as fast as an iPhone 14 or Galaxy S23).
*Quality construction, but it's sensitive. The aluminum frame around the cameras scratches easily. Definitely get a case. I got the Nillkin case that covers the cameras completely with a door.The overall feeling of the device on the first day was mediocre (due to the signal issue), but day by day, I fall in love with it as it adapts to me like a glove. And that's the essence of it, it's a different phone, not for games and benchmarks.

So far, the phone seems exceptional, fast, and with outstanding cameras as stated in all the reviews. The only thing that concerns me is the reports about the glass covers (back camera cover) that seem to shatter on their own (contraction-expansion with aluminum?) and that Google does not seem to recognize - at least not yet - as a manufacturing issue and therefore repairable within the warranty... Especially for us who are in a country that is not officially covered by Google...

The phone is UN-BE-LIEV-ABLE. Pixel with eyes closed now. Coming from Xiaomi, the difference between the two is day and night. I won't even talk about the specs numbers (how many GHz processor, how many MP camera, etc.) because they don't matter anymore. What matters is how well the software works with the hardware, and Google is going against Apple in this.
TLDR:
Positives: Everything
Stand out from other models: Camera, Software, AI features
Negatives: Charging speed, lack of official support in Greece, heats up very easily in the summer
Competition: Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (over a thousand), iPhone 13 Pro (much over a thousand)Before I write anything, I just want to warn that because Greece is not an "official" country that supports the Pixel, there are some basic losses like Wifi calling, VoLTE, also I don't know what's going on with the warranty. There are also some optional goodies missing like Call screening, Hold for me, etc. For me, none of these were dealbreakers and the phone is already fantastic without them.
First of all, it is made of premium materials and it shows. It is clear visually that it is a flagship. However, you must definitely get a case for 2 reasons. Firstly, because it is made of glass, which means it collects fingerprints and slips incredibly. Secondly, because the camera bar is very susceptible to scratches. There is no space for an SD card, a second SIM, or a headphone jack. Unfortunately, this is the norm, but there are solutions (extra space in the cloud, the phone supports eSIM, and there are wireless headphones). Its speakers are very satisfactory with a very clear stereo sound. It has NFC, of course, but something I miss coming from Xiaomi is the IR Blaster. The fingerprint is on the screen and optical, I have no complaints but no compliments either. There is also the option of face unlock for greater convenience (but not so reliable since it only uses the front camera). The screen has a very good resolution and the phone is very comfortable to hold for its size. It helps that they have placed the power button above the volume buttons instead of below. It is easier to hold with one hand that way.
As for the features: We have the second-generation Tensor processor, which doesn't seem to reach the most powerful Snapdragons or Apple's in tests, but practically in everyday use the phone flies. It overheats a bit at first because it learns AI and all the summer months. Quite challenging. However, it almost never lags, all apps open and close lightning fast, and heavier tasks like gaming are fine. I haven't tried heavy games, of course, and I don't intend to. The software is generally minimalist, stock android, without too much. However, no matter how much I write, they cannot capture how wonderful an experience it is, because where Tensor stands out is of course in AI. From processing photos, videos, to learning when you charge it and which apps you use throughout the day to optimize battery usage, this phone teaches you, and I love it more and more over time. And it's these little things, like being able to say "Silence" to an alarm and stop it. A bunch of things like that! Of course, I must emphasize that half or more of the goodies promised by Google are not available in our country. I hope in the future they will recognize us as an official country so that features like call screening will come here as well. 5G and VoLTE are now officially supported so there is no need to root to enable them. Wifi calling remains, and it requires a process but can be done, even without root. The battery easily lasts over a day with normal use, and a little less than a day with heavy use. Charging is slow, and that is a complaint I have about the phone in general. As if slow charging wasn't enough, it requires a PD3.0 PPS charger to reach maximum wattage.
Separately, I want to mention the camera because at this moment there is no phone on the market that takes better photos (with the main camera) than the Pixel. What your eye sees is what it captures, and the best part is that you don't need to adjust anything to take a good photo. Just point and shoot. There are some settings for those who are interested, and the phone can shoot in RAW, but in 90% of cases, the best shot is automatic. There is also an ultrawide lens that is very good but not spectacular, and a telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom that is spectacular. Especially thanks to the image processing algorithm, you can take photos with 30x zoom and they come out very clear. Video is also excellent, although it has not yet reached the level of the iPhone, it can go up to 4K60 on all cameras (I have it at 4K30 for 10-bit HDR). The front camera takes very good shots in adequate lighting, but admittedly struggles in less light. There are also some tricks thanks to Tensor like long exposure which is very interesting.
In summary: The phone is worth the money and more. It is recommended especially for those who want a) a flagship experience and do not want to spend a fortune b) a simple minimalist stock Android with frequent updates c) a phone that takes extraordinary photos without much effort d) all of the above. However, as I mentioned before, it is not "officially" supported in Greece and you miss out on some basic and many extra goodies, it's a bit like getting a Ferrari and driving it on the dirt road of your village. Still, it's worth it.
Update 21/6/23

I also had a problem with incoming calls. Sometimes calls just wouldn't come through and I would receive an SMS saying I missed the call. From the caller's perspective, it looked like my phone was turned off.
I rooted my phone and after 3 months since purchasing it, the phone finally works properly (I was waiting for an official update but rooting was the only solution).Translated from Greek ·- Photos

EDIT(05/04/2023): After 2 months, the mobile phone continued to have issues with calls even after the March update, which included VoLTE. I returned it as a faulty device and hope to get my money back so I can buy another phone. I feel quite disappointed because, as I said, it is an incredible device but it fails to perform basic functions and I have needlessly gone through a lot of trouble trying to find a solution. Therefore, I do not recommend this phone. If we look at Google's supported countries, then buy it blindly (after making sure it does not have any basic issues). Also, for those who give it 5 stars and write in their reviews "It has issues, but with root, a program, etc. it can be fixed," you mislead the average buyer and the ways you suggest to solve the problem do not solve anything, they just hide the issues this EXPENSIVE device has and no one should have to go through these processes when they spend so much money. That's all, I hope I helped. Have a good day.
The mobile phone is a masterpiece, no doubt about it. But if you are in non-supported countries by Google, then you have an issue. First of all, everyone said that it does not have 5G in non-supported countries and I thought that 4G was good enough when I bought it. But my issue is the following: When you buy a mobile phone, especially one that is so expensive, the minimum it should do is to make and receive calls. Well, in my case, many times it does not even show a notification that I missed a call. It's like it never happened. And on the other end, it either shows busy or it does not even ring. Completely unacceptable. And the problem is not from the settings or from the mobile network (I have Cosmote, What's up). I believe it comes from the fact that we are not on Google's list and some settings are locked. There are rumors that it may be fixed with the next March update (I have the latest update from February). Otherwise, the next solution is root, which is not difficult and is safe, but it is completely tragic to spend so much money and be put through this process.
*As for any other function, it is perfect (camera, screen, etc.) but I will not comment on these because there are countless videos that can explain them better than me. Hoping they will fix it on their own, I give it 3 stars. I would recommend anyone who wants to buy it to wait and research it thoroughly before making the decision to buy it. I will return with an edit if the problem is fixed in the next two months.

After 5 consecutive Samsung Navarhides, I decided to change my device and I am absolutely satisfied with Google's mobile phone. Its strongest point is the camera, but the negative is that it does not support 5G in Greece, so you can only make calls with 3G and 2G. If you have friends who have established 3G, it's difficult and you need to root your phone. I hope that a future update will fix this, as it has already been done in India, which is also an unsupported country. UPDATE: Today, on March 13th, the long-awaited update finally arrived. The phone now supports VoLTE, but not yet 5G. The big problem with missed calls for people with established 3G should now be resolved, especially for those using Cosmote.

After a lot of searching and reading dozens of reviews, I finally decided to get it. I've been using it for about a month now and I'm completely satisfied, it has exceeded my expectations. The camera is incredible, the battery lasts almost 2 days with regular use, the processor with Google's A.I. technology "learns" from you and the more you use it, the faster it gets, to the point where everything opens instantly. So far, the operating system has not shown any bugs and because it's Google, you get all the upgrades immediately, no problem with 5G either. I believe it's worth the money.

What should one write first about this gem? It's the best thing out there for Android. The issue with 5G, VoLTE, and VoWiFi is easily solved with a simple unlocking/root process, and it works on everything. I've left it untouched because I don't need 5G or the other features, and I haven't missed a single call. We're talking about a mobile powerhouse that teaches you something new every day, thanks to its advanced AI that's light years ahead, and the device does exactly what its owner wants.
As for the cameras, there's no need to comment on anything, there are no better ones on any Android device at the moment.
As for the battery, I've exhausted it too, and it doesn't understand anything.
Accessories? You can find glass and cases everywhere.
10/10 truly a mobile jewel. And I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Snapdragon... Pixel and Pixel again.

Did you find this review helpful? This phone is exceptional, it does everything perfectly 10 out of 10!
The camera is amazing, like a lens, with incredible image processing, exceptional zoom and tremendous resolution.
It's fast and has an outstanding battery life of almost one and a half days.
The AI capabilities are incredible, and it runs on stock Android!
Regarding the issue of 5G calls, VoLTE, and VoWiFi, which has become a big topic, yes, officially, these features do not work in Greece. However, LTE, which is 4G, works with exceptional speeds, and I have not missed any calls under this capability.
After rooting (which is a straightforward process with an easy bootloader unlock), we are talking about the perfect device, with a signal everywhere and in areas without mobile signal, and incredibly fast 5G.
In short, if you want the best Android device by far and are willing to root it once to gain all its capabilities, then yes, it is worth buying. However, if you are not familiar with the subject, it is a bit unlikely to buy this phone, as you will not have 5G, VoLTE, and VoWiFi in Greece.
It is the most perfect device I have held in my hands in recent years!Translated from Greek ·- Call quality

Update 14/03
VoLTE has been activated after today's update :)
As it seems, the issue with calls has been resolved :)--------
Update
The battery gets much better over time, even with 120Hz it lasts a day with normal use. I have it at 60Hz and I have reached 2 days.
Regarding calls, nothing I have tried fixes the issue.
Unfortunately, if you're not willing to root the device, I don't recommend it to anyone in Greece.------
It's beautiful and does everything right.
BUT, it has 2 major negatives, the battery is mediocre (with the refresh rate at 120Hz) and the issue with calls that someone else mentioned.
I've had it for 2 weeks and I've received a missed call message twice. It seemed like I was talking when I wasn't.
Also, during calls, you don't have internet.
In unboxing videos, they don't mention it (except for Techaholic).
As for the battery, as I said, it's mediocre even with moderate use, it won't last you 12 hours from the last charge (if you lower the refresh rate to 60Hz, things are much better, it easily lasts 1.5 days).
If it weren't for the issue with calls, it would easily get 5 stars.Translated from Greek ·- Photos

Do not buy it if you do not live in the supported countries mentioned by Google, unless you root it to enable volte, otherwise you will have problems as another guy wrote here with half of the calls being busy. Other than that, I take my hat off to him...
