The business improved speed for a variety of AI-related functions. By switching to its Tensor custom chipset. But at the cost of a spate of glitches and delayed updates. But it’s a new year, and Google is already promoting its Pixel 7 series, with the experience of 2021’s flagships under its belt.
Google Pixel 7 Pro
The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, as well as the updated Pixel 6a, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Buds Pro. And more were unveiled at the Google I/O 2022 keynote in mid-May. However, this was only a teaser for Google’s next flagship Android phone. And while we’ve seen images of the two new phones, we don’t yet have all of the data. Expect to discover more about the next handsets in the coming months. But for now, here’s what we know so far about them.
Series 7 of Google Pixel: Hardware
Last year, Google went big with its Pixel 6 design, completely overhauling the series. The company appears to have fully secured a new design for its in-house smartphones, from the controversial under-display fingerprint sensor — a first for the series — to the huge camera bar on the rear of the phone. The first images of the Pixel 7 confirm that the design for 2022 will be mostly identical, but there will be some significant differences on each phone.
Camera
The visor-like camera strip is still present, but the cameras have been replaced with pill-and-dot cutouts. The Pixel camera bar’s glass back has been replaced with metal, which was formerly glass on the Pixel 6 series. Because there’s less glass around the shooter, we’re hopeful that this camera modification will result in less lens flare in photographs from the next set of phones. The Pixel 7 has two cameras in a pill cut-out, whereas the Pixel 7 Pro adds a third dot cut-out to the mix. We expect this to be a telephoto camera, but no details on the camera technology have been released by Google. According to earlier leaks, the camera technology will be the same as the Pixel 6 series. If that’s the case, both phones will have a 50MP f/1.85 GN1 primary camera and a 12.5MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, with the Pro edition adding a 48MP f/3.5 telephoto camera.
Differences in Colour
There are differences in colour between the two versions, as well as changes from the Pixel 6 range. Both phones will be available in Obsidian and Snow, which are essentially black and white colour schemes. The Pixel 7 is also available in a distinctive Lemongrass colour (top right of the image below), while the Pixel 7 Pro is also available in Hazel (bottom middle below). We don’t yet know if each colour will have any market restrictions.
Leaked Talks
According to leaks, both models’ mmWave window. The top edge has been modified from the unsightly transparent window. Seen on the Pixel 6 Pro (and specific carrier versions of the Pixel 6). I’m not sure whether this is genuine because Google’s official photos don’t show this area of the phone. According to leaked Pixel 7 pictures, each model will have a cleaner, smaller window built into the metal rail. It’s unclear whether all Pixel models will support mmWave this year, or if the less expensive, the smaller gadget would need no carrier intervention. Apart from these differences, the Pixel 7 series appears to have a design comparable to the Pixel 6. It has a glass back (no information on protection or an IP rating yet), a USB-C port on the bottom edge, and the power button and volume rocker on the right-hand edge. Apart from the phone’s SIM tray, the left-hand edge is devoid of features.
Software for the Google Pixel 7 series
It’s been a tradition for Google’s annual Pixel launch to coincide with the release of a big Android upgrade, but it’s unclear whether that will happen this year. We’re still in the early stages of Android 13 beta testing, but the development timeline points to an earlier release date than typical this year. It wouldn’t be the first time Google rolled out a summer update. The introduction of Android 8.0 Oreo coincided with a solar eclipse in August 2018, and it was released just a few days afterwards. Whether Android 13 is released alongside the Pixel 7 is irrelevant to potential purchasers. When these phones hit store shelves, they’ll all have the most recent and greatest OS version installed. With Material You, Android 12 delivered a significant overhaul, so we don’t expect many cosmetic changes with this year’s upgrade.
Availability & Price Tag
Pixel flagships have traditionally debuted in October, and with the Pixel 6a on pace for a July release, that trend appears to be set to continue for another year. Google has stated that the Pixel 7 will be released in the fall, so we may expect it to arrive in October. It’s only speculation as to how much the phones will cost. While inflation is prevalent at the moment, Google is bent on undercutting the competition with its device pricing. The Pixel 6 launched at $599 and the Pixel 6 Pro at $899. We don’t rule out the possibility that the Pixel 7 series may be priced similarly to or somewhat higher than their predecessors, at $629 or $649 and $929 or $949, respectively. The Pixel 6a has been verified to cost the same as the Pixel 5a, which could indicate that Google will maintain the same pricing for these new smartphones as the previous generation. While we now have a lot of information regarding the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, there is still a lot to discover about this year’s flagship gadgets. If history is any indication, there will be numerous leaks along the way.

Q1: Which processor does the Google Pixel use?
A 1.6GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor powers the Google Pixel. It has a total of 4GB of RAM. The Google Pixel is powered by a non-removable 2770mAh battery and runs Android 7.1. In terms of cameras, the Google Pixel features a 12.3-megapixel camera on the back.
Q2: Does the Google Pixel use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor?
This signals the end of an era in which Snapdragon SoCs powered Pixel phones and most of Google’s older Nexus series.
Q3: Is the Google Pixel a good gaming device?
It’s a good phone for gaming, but the battery is small for a flagship phone in 2020, at only 2800 mAh; there are phones with better specs, larger batteries, and higher refresh rates that are better for gaming.
Q4: Are Google Pixels superior to iPhone pixels?
However, Apple has a higher resolution. However, Google’s phone has another advantage: the Pixel 6 has a 90Hz refresh rate. While this isn’t as quick as some flagship phones. Such as the Pixel 6 Pro’s 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, it beats the iPhone 13’s 60Hz refresh rate.
Q5: Is the Snapdragon 845 or 730G a better processor?
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 scored 363186 on the Antutu benchmark. Whereas the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G scored 281897. Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 has 8 cores and a frequency of 2800 MHz, while Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G has 8 cores and a frequency of 2200 MHz.
Q6: Is a tensor chip suitable for gaming?
In any case, while the Google Tensor’s gaming performance is adequate, it is no better than the Exynos 2100, and it is further hampered by the Pixel 6 phones’ thermal design.
