Just recently, Google had announced the Pixel 7 series of flagship smartphones. Now, it appears that the company plans on launching another device, which will apparently be a Pixel 7 Ultra model that will feature a large 1 inch camera sensor on the back.

Interestingly, the first source, which claimed the existence of the Pixel 7 Ultra was from developer Kuba Wojciechowski. As per Kuba, the Search Engine giant’s recently released source code for the Pixel 7 lineup revealed the codename for the model, which is Lynx and L10 is its identifier. Notably, Kuba had also previously revealed that this Pixel 7 Ultra model would also house a triple camera setup. Out of the three sensors, the primary shooter will reportedly be a 50 megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GN1 sensor that has a 1.2um pixels and is 1/1.31 inches in size.

Furthermore, this sensor will be paired with a 64 megapixel Sony IMX787 sensor that has a size of 1/1.3 inches and could be the telephoto lens. Lastly, the tertiary camera is an unannounced 13 megapixel Sony IMX712 sensor that will be used for both the front facing sensor and even the ultra wide angle lens as well. But now, a new tweet from known tipster Ice Universe claimed that Google is also working on a Pixel 7 Ultra model. However, the new leak claims that the device will have a 1 inch sensor on the back, which is contrary to Kuba’s information.

However, the tweet did not share if Samsung will be working on this sensor. On the other hand, Sony has already released such a sensor in the market. So if this news is true, we can assume that Sony might be the one supplying Google with the large primary rear camera. Additionally, another known tipster Digital Chat Station has implied that Apple supplier Foxconn might manufacture the Pixel 7 Ultra, which will feature a 50 megapixel main camera and a Sony IMX787 telephoto shooter.

The post Google working on Pixel 7 Ultra with large 1 inch camera sensor: Leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

The newly released source code of the Google Pixel 7 series suggests that the search giant may be working on a small-screen flagship smartphone, perhaps a Pixel 7 Mini. Previously, a popular Chinese tipster also hinted at the existence of a smaller Pixel device. The codebase also reveals some information about the rumored Pixel Fold. Let’s have a closer look.

As unearthed by developer Kuba Wojciechowski, the latest source code of the Pixel 7 series includes references to two upcoming devices, codenamed “Felix” and “Lynx” (via Notebookcheck). It has been reported that “Felix” is the long-rumored Pixel Fold and “Lynx” is the codename for a third Pixel device, possibly the alleged Pixel 7 Ultra or Pixel 7 Mini. However, the moniker of the devices is yet to be officially confirmed.

The released code hints that the ultra-wide-angle camera and the selfie snapper of “Lynx” will be equipped with Sony’s IMX712 sensors. In addition, the device will switch from the BCM4389 WiFi/BT chip used on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 to Qualcomm’s WCN6740.

Furthermore, “Lynx” will utilize the same display panel that is found on Pixel models such as Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 6a. While early rumors suggested a 2K display for the Pixel 7 Ultra, this device only has a 1080p display. It seems unlikely that a Pixel 7 series device with the “ultra” moniker will use a display worse than the Pixel 7 Pro. This means “Lynx” is most likely the Pixel 7 Mini.

Details about the rumored Pixel 7 Mini are still pretty short. We are not even sure if the device is actually in the works or not. “Lynx” could also be the affordable Pixel 7a. We should learn more details in the coming details. So, stick around for the updates.
