What's wrong with the 7?
It won't to desktop mode. 8 series and higher.
Nothing’s wrong with it. The 8 is just more powerful and has more features. Like that note on top
The Pixel 8 and later is far more secure than the 7th generation and earlier because ARMv9 hardware security features like hardware memory tagging are available and the OS uses them. It's a huge difference but not something people would see with their own eyes. The 9 is slightly better than the 8 but not in a huge jump like 7 to 8 is.
