The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro that you already know are now official. Aesthetically, it is not exactly the most exciting. The design language remains the same as the one set by the Pixel 6 series but is more refined. But that does not stop Google from saying that it is their “sleekest design yet”. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
As before, the new Google Pixel 7 Series has a bar that houses the cameras running across the entire width of the phone, and it has an aluminum enclosure that is made of 100% recycled content. In the case of the Pixel 7, it has a matte enclosure while the Pro model has a polished enclosure.
Both models are IP68 water resistant and have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus front and back. Both models are powered by the next-generation Google Tensor G2 processor and will ship with Android 13. Differentiating the two devices are the camera system, the display size and resolution, the RAM size, and the battery capacity.
The Google Pixel 7 gets a 6.3-inch FHD+ (2,400 x 1,080 pixels) OLED display with up to 90 Hz refresh rate, a dual camera system (50 MP Octa PD Quad Bayer wide camera + 12 MP ultrawide camera), support for Super Res Zoom (up to 30x), Macro Focus, 8 GB LPPDR5 RAM, and a 4,355 mAh battery.
Meanwhile, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is outfitted with a 6.7-inch QHD+ (3,120 x 1,440 pixels) LTPO OLED display with up to 120 Hz refresh rate, a triple camera setup (50 MP Octa PD Quad Bayer wide camera + 12 MP ultrawide camera with AF + 48 MP Quad Bayer PD telephoto camera), 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM, and a 5,000 mAh battery.
The front-facing camera is the same for both which is a 10.8 MP item.
Both phones further tout multi-layer security including the Titan M2 security chip, security core, built-in VPN powered by Google One (coming soon), Fingerprint Unlock, and Face Unlock.
The Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro can be pre-ordered today with a starting price of US$599 and US$899, respectively, with availability next week.
