Earlier this month, Google introduced the new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro alongside the upcoming Pixel 6a, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Buds Pro. This was just a teaser for the upcoming flagship Android phones and we’re still about five months off the launch of the Pixel 7 series. However, a new report is here to reveal some interesting details about the display and other major specs of the smartphone duo. Let’s take a look at it.

According to a report by 9to5Google, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will feature the exact same display as their predecessor Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. The publication uncovered this from the Android Open-Source Project, where Google created two new display drivers, one tagged C10 and the other P10. The tags appear to be the abbreviated version of “Cheetah” and “Panther”, the codenames of Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.

Further digging into the code disclosed that both the devices will sport the same Samsung-made display panels as the Pixel 6 duo, with model numbers S6E3FC3 and S6E3HC3, respectively.

This means that the Pixel 7 will feature a 1080 x 2400 display that is capable of running at up to 90Hz, whereas the Pixel 7 Pro will have a 1440 x 3120 display that can support up to 120Hz refresh rate. If you recall, these are the same specs as the 2021 Pixels.

However, the Pixel 7 is said to be a bit smaller than last year’s Pixel 6, the handset’s display will be 1mm narrower and 2mm shorter. On the contrary, the Pixel 7 Pro’s display is the same as the Pixel 6 Pro but it will have a native 1080p mode, which is likely to improve battery saving in Low Power Mode.

Judging from leaks and rumors, the Pixel 7 series only seems to carry minor upgrades and nothing out of the ordinary. However, there are still 5 months to the launch and Google may surprise us.
