Last week while digging through Android 13 code, a developer spotted the codenames “Cheetah” and “Panther,” presumably for the upcoming Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. And a week later, potential images of the Google Pixel 7 have surfaced online.
Tipster @xleaks7 in collaboration with choosebesttech has leaked CAD renders of the alleged Pixel 7.
The CAD renders reveal that not much will be changing in terms of design on the upcoming Pixel 7 series. And considering that the Pixel 6 was recently announced to be the best-selling Pixel smartphone yet, it is likely that Google will stick to this same design profile for a few more generations of the Pixel devices.
However, on closer inspection, there appear to be some small differences between this device and the current-gen Pixel 6. The camera bar remains the same but the two cameras inside appear to have a frame-like module around them. The tipster has also revealed that the Pixel 7 will be a bit smaller than its predecessor measuring at 6.1 x 2.8 x 0.3in (155.6 x 73.1 x 8.7mm) compared to the Pixel 6’s 6.24 x 2.94 x 0.35in (158.6 x 74.8 x 8.9mm).
The device also has a crevice in the frame at the top which is likely to hold the mmWave 5G antenna, which is also present on the side of iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. Other than these small changes the render reveals that other design features like the placement of the in-display fingerprint sensor will be the same as the current-gen Google flagship.
The search giant usually unveils its pixel devices in the fall season, right around the month of October. So if all goes well, we can expect the Pixel 7 series to hit the markets around October-November.
