I don't care about benchmarks, or camera, if the photos it takes are as good as my iPhone 4 that is enough.
Just curious, and no judgement, why are you switching?
My perfect phone would be basic and run GrapheneOS.
For me the camera is important, and the other manufacturers have long caught up with the Pixel. Back in the day, even before the first Pixel (Nexus 5x) there was no competition and Google was a few years ahead, but now it's just a matter of preference. That, plus the iPhone takes much nicer video. Overall my impression is that the 15 Pro takes slightly better pictures than the 7 Pro, but it's also 1 year newer so..
My main issue with the 7 Pro was calling. It keeps dropping calls, call quality is much worse than on my other phones (e.g. Pixel 3), I had issues with dual sim where other people couldn't connect calls with me. I tried everything, switching providers, esim, physical sim, LTE, WLAN calling, created debug logs for the dev team, I even got a replacement unit from Google, but still no fix..
The second reason for switching is that I found the last 2 Android version boring, and most new features are bound to Google's ecosystem. I also didn't want to go for another Pixel until they refine their hardware, and also the new price is ridiculous for a Pixel phone imo.
