An Android 13 Beta source code has provided some confirmation that the Google Pixel 7 Pro will have a brighter display than the Pixel 6 Pro. Previous leaks have indicated that the Pixel 7 Pro has the S6E3HC4 display panel. This puts the Pixel 7 Pro at par with its predecessor in terms of resolution. However, the source code shows that in manual mode, the Pixel 7 Pro can reach 600 nits of brightness ahead of its predecessor.
Both the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro have resolutions of 3120 x 1440 pixels. The Pixel 6 Pro has the S6E3HC4 panel compared to the S6E3HC4 for the Pixel 7 Pro. While the Pixel 6 Pro can achieve a maximum of 500 nits of brightness in manual mode, the Pixel 7 Pro is 100 nits higher at 700 nits. In Auto mode, the Pixel 7 Pro gets up to 1,000 nits compared to 800 nits for the Pixel 6 Pro. The numbers stated above are for all-white displays (100% APL). At lower levels of the APL, the brightness can be higher.
Thanks to the source code, some additional features of the Pixel 7 Pro were revealed. We now know that it will have an HDR10 display with support for HGL imagery. It also has a 1080p mode to ensure lower power consumption. There are no indications yet that the Pixel 6 Pro’s panel will support HDR10+.
There are no official confirmations yet on the rumored October 2022 release date for the Pixel 7 lineup. There are more leaks that could surface relating to the Google Pixel 7 series. We are at least three months away from the launch and much is still unknown about the Pixel 7 series.
