Same price, (slightly) different specs
According to notable tipster Yogesh Brar, the Pixel 7 will come equipped with a 6.3-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080) OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, shrinking from 6.4 inches to 6.3 inches when compared to the Pixel 6. We can expect the same 8GB of RAM, along with 128GB and 256GB storage options, with no 512GB option in sight. Pixel 7 will is also expected to sport a 4,700mAh battery capacity. That’s a small gain over the 4,616mAh battery the Pixel 6 comes with, and we’ll also see the return of 30W fast charging. When it comes to cameras, the Pixel 7 is expected to offer 50MP main and 12MP ultra-wide lenses, which is what we have in the Pixel 6. The new Tensor chip is expected to bring software upgrades to the phone’s camera capabilities, but at least we may see an 11MP front-facing camera upgrade over the 8MP on the pervious model. Brar notes that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be “refined versions” of the Pixel 6 series, and judging by the rumored specs, this may ring true. Google states the Tensor G2 will “bring even more helpful, personalized features to photos, videos, security, and speech recognition.” That means we can expect improved processing power and software without big hardware upgrades, likely to keep the cost down. There’s a lot to look forward to about the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, especially with the introduction of Google’s first smartwatch: the Pixel Watch. We won’t have to wait much longer until all is revealed, and you can find out everything to expect in the Google October event taking place next week.
