Google’s Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro aren’t scheduled to launch until later this year, but at Google I/O 2022, the unexpectedly company gave the company its first look at the new devices. As far as specs go, here’s what we know about the Pixel 7.
What does the Pixel 7 look like?
In terms of design, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro share a lot with the existing Pixel 6 series, and that’s a good thing! These slab smartphones still have the same aluminum and glass build.
The biggest difference comes in the camera bar, which is now largely covered with aluminum instead of being made of glass. Along with providing an even more unique look to the design, as well as a gorgeous contrast over the “Hazel” model, it certainly has some durability benefits as well.
new: It was expected that the Pixel 7 series would bring back the delightful soft-touch matte glass from the Pixel 3 and Pixel 4 series, but Google quickly corrected that previous statement. Sadly, despite Samsung and Apple having abandoned those designs for some time now, the Pixel 7 will remain shiny.
Pixel 7 Specs
- Show: 6.2-6.4 inches (unconfirmed)
- Dimensions: 155.6mm x 73.1mm x 8.7mm
- Processor: “Next-Gen” Google Tensor
- colour’s: obsidian, snow, lemongrass
It’s still early days to know the specs of the Pixel 7 series, but amidst credible leaks and official details from Google, we have some solid information. For the standard Pixel 7, we can expect a phone that is slightly smaller than the Pixel 6. The Pixel 7 measures 155.6mm x 73.1mm x 8.7mm, where the Pixel 6 measures 158.6mm x 74.8mm x 8.9mm.
Under the hood, Google has confirmed our previous reporting that the Pixel 7 will run on top of a “next-gen” Google Tensor processor as the core of its specs sheet. We know this chip is called “GS201”.
Lastly, Google has also confirmed that the Pixel 7 will come in three colors: Obsidian (Black), Snow (White), and Lemongrass (Yellow).
Pixel 7 Pro Specs
- Show: 6.7 inches (unconfirmed)
- Dimensions: 163mm x 76.6mm x 8.7mm
- Processor: “Next-Gen” Google Tensor
- colour’s: obsidian, snow, blur
Meanwhile, the Pixel 7 Pro appears to offer the same set of massive upgrades, with a telephoto camera added to its rear array, what? To appear to be a curved front display – we haven’t officially seen the front of the phone – and a bigger overall design. The Pixel 7 Pro will be thinner, but slightly wider than the Pixel 6 Pro at 163mm x 76.6mm x 8.7mm versus 163.9mm x 75.9mm x 8.9mm.
The Pixel 7 Pro will use the same “next-gen” Tensor chip, but will likely come with more RAM than the standard model. Google also confirmed that in addition to black and white colors, the Pixel 7 Pro will include a unique “Hazel” color scheme.
This article will be updated continuously as Google releases new information regarding the specs of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
