Google is gearing up to launch the Pixel 7 series smartphones on October 6th. A recent leak revealed that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be sold at the same prices as their Pixel 6 series counterparts. However, looking at the leaks and rumors so far, the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 7 will have a lot more in common other than the price point.
First off, the new Tensor G2 chip on the Pixel 7 will have an updated GPU, NPU, modem, and other hardware. However, the CPU will remain the same.
Tipster Yogesh Brar has posted a spec sheet of the Pixel 7, which states that the Pixel 7 will have a 6.3-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. That is a tenth of an inch smaller than the Pixel 6 display, but otherwise, it is identical.
The rear camera setup will use the same 5OMP Samsung GN1 sensor and the 12MP Sony IMX381 ultra-wide sensor. The selfie camera is said to feature a new 11MP Samsung 3J1 sensor (up from 8MP), which will have autofocus. Even the ‘visor’ design of the camera island will remain the same.
The Pixel 7’s battery is anticipated to have a capacity of around 4,700mAh, which isn’t too far off from the Pixel 6’s battery’s official rating of 4,614mAh. The fast charging is rated at 30W. However, considering the early claims of the Pixel 6 & 6 Pro having 30W fast charging, which later turned out to be 21-23W, we will advise readers to take this info with a pinch of salt.
The memory and storage options will also remain the same as last year (8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage), and the device will boot Android 13 out of the box. All specs considered, the Pixel 7 doesn’t appear to be much different from the last generation on the hardware front. So, we will likely have to wait and see if the software experience and optimization are any better.
