Google is gearing up to launch the Pixel 7 series smartphones along with other products at its Made By Google event on October 6th. The series will consist of two devices – Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Ahead of the launch, multiple leaks and rumors have revealed almost all of the major details about the upcoming smartphones. So, we bring you a roundup of everything you can expect from the Pixel 7 series.
Pixel 7 series design & display
The Pixel 7 series will not deviate from the design language of the Pixel 6 series, as seen in the official teasers and renders. However, the device has received some polish to the design, especially the camera visor and the camera setup. The visor this time around is made of polished metal, giving the phone a more premium look, and the camera’s placement has also been adjusted to look more pleasing.
On the front, the Pixel 7 Pro will feature a curved 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the vanilla Pixel 7 will get a 6.3-inch flat Full HD+ screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz.
Specs & features
Spec-wise, both devices will feature the Tensor G2 chip that will utilize the same combination of two Cortex-X1 cores, two Cortex-A76 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores. It will feature a new Mali-G710 GPU, which is expected to significantly improve gaming performance compared to the last generation. Other than that, the phone will have a new NPU, improved modems, and a Titan M2 security chip.
Both phones will offer 128GB or 256GB storage options. The Pixel 7 will have 8GB of RAM, whereas the Pro model will have 12GB of RAM as standard. The phones will support both wired and wireless fast charging and will have a battery life of more than 24 hours. The extreme battery saver feature on the devices is said to extend the battery life up to 72 hours. The Pixel 7 has a 4700mAh battery, while the Pixel 7 Pro has a 5000mAh battery. Both smartphones will offer 30W fast charging. Google probably won’t include the charger in the box. The devices will also be on par with modern flagships when it comes to waterproofing, with an IP68 rating.
Android 13 will be available out of the box for both devices. It will offer the same Pixel-exclusive features like live translation and magic eraser. Both devices will offer face unlock and an in-display fingerprint sensor for security.
Cameras
The Pixel 7 will have a dual-camera system on the back consisting of a 50MP primary camera and a 12MP ultrawide camera. The 7 Pro will receive a 48MP telephoto camera with up to 5x optical zoom in addition to the two cameras on the Pixel 7. The Pro model will support cinematic blur, true tone, macro focus, and up to 30x high-resolution zoom. The basic model will not support macro focus, and its high-resolution zoom will be limited to 8x magnification. A 10.8MP front-facing camera with 4K video recording will be available for selfies.
Expected pricing & availability
The vanilla Pixel 7 listing leaked last week, all but confirming the rumors that the device will have a starting price of $599. EU customers can expect the price tag of the base Pixel 7 to be around €650.
On the other hand, the Pixel 7 Pro model is rumored to have a starting price of $899. The Pixel 7 will have three color options – Snow, Obsidian, and Lemongrass. Whereas, the 7 Pro will get Obsidian, Hazel, and Snow.
