Pixel 7 Vs Pixel 7 Pro
From examining the above specs, we can automatically assume and clearly see the difference between these devices. One major difference is the price. There is a whopping 300 USD gap between them and this is mainly due to the advanced specs. I have drafted a table to clearly see these differences.
Both devices are 5G, with dual sim support and an eSIM capability. They are both IP68-rated with an aluminum mid-frame, smooth back glass, and made of gorilla glass.
The tertiary camera of the pro version boasts 48MP Periscope, f/3.5, OIS, 30x Super Resolution Zoom, and a 4.8x optical zoom to achieve all the advanced features talked about during the event.
Conclusion
The Pixel 7 Pro is 100 USD less than the new iPhone 14 Pro and could serve the purpose you are looking for and a friendly budget to start with. These prices were the same for Pixel 6 & Pro and it seems Google is okay with this besides the newly added features.
