The Google Pixel 7 has been given an early peek by Google. We now know what the phone looks like with updated camera lenses on the iconic horizontal bar, according to a sneak peek at the Google I/O developer conference in May. (which is now made of aluminum).
We also know that the Pixel 7 will employ the second-generation Tensor processor, which will open up all kinds of AI and machine learning capabilities in this fall's phones, as we expected.
But there are still a lot of unresolved concerns regarding the Pixel 7, and that's understandable given that the new phones won't be available until later this year. More Pixel 7 speculations will undoubtedly surface in the coming months, painting a clearer picture of how Google's phone will compete with smartphones like the Galaxy S22 and the impending iPhone 14 for a spot on the best phones list. Here's everything we know so far about the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, as well as more rumours regarding Google's upcoming flagship.
The display specs for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro(opens in new tab) have been revealed in a recent report, and the Pro may feature a smart upscaling mechanism to preserve battery life.
The most significant predicted differences may be seen in our Google Pixel 7 versus Google Pixel 6 comparison.
So far, Google has only said that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro would be released in the fall. If we had to guess, we'd mark October on our calendars because that's when Google usually unveils its autumn flagship update.
The Pixel 7 isn't going to be the next Google phone. Google also revealed the Pixel 6a, a $449 cheap phone that shares more in common with last year's Pixel 6 than the future flagships, during the same I/O presentation where we received our Pixel 7 peek. Preorders for the Pixel 6a begin on July 21, with the phone shipping on July 28. The decks will then be cleared for the Pixel 7 launch.
Google will most likely keep the Pixel 7 pricing under wraps until the autumn launch. To put things in perspective, the Pixel 6 costs $599, while the Pixel 6 Pro costs $899. That's less than what other phone manufacturers charge for their top models — the Galaxy S22, for example, begins at $799, $200 more than the Pixel 6.
As a result, we're hoping Google can keep the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro costs consistent. It's helped Google's phones stand out from the crowd, and it's likely contributed to the Pixel 6 becoming the best-selling Pixel in the company's history.
