We know that Google will employ a new Google Tensor chipset, known internally as GS201 (the first Tensor was GS101) and codenamed Cloudripper. With Google teasing the Pixel 7 design but giving us no proper details on the hardware inside it, we'll turn to leakers to give us an idea of how the Pixel 7 will improve - or stay the same as before, as the case may be. Older Pixels used the soft-touch look, and it's a bit disappointing Google didn't return to it. Google originally told Marques Brownlee the Pixel 7 line would have "soft-touch glass" but later recanted this claim and said it would use a glossy look instead. It's a fair question how Google let so many units escape into the open, but now we know fully what to expect about its design.īoth the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro show a glossy finish in these pictures. With yet another Pixel 7 Pro prototype leak (slides three and four), we got another glimpse at the camera housing and curved display. It, too, has a very similar look to the Pixel 6 Pro in the front and back, seen in slides one and two. Google then remotely wiped it, but you can see the triple-rear cameras and a curved display showing the "Cloudripper" codename in the bootloader. Next, the Pixel 7 Pro leaked, as first spotted by 9to5Google (opens in new tab) a Redditor (opens in new tab) claimed he had bought it online and used the phone for weeks without realizing it was the unreleased model. We expect the Pixel 7 to retain its flat display while the Pixel 7 Pro remains curved, though Google only showed off the phones' backs in its official renders. We don't have official sizing from Google, but the aforementioned DSCC leak claimed the Pixel 7 will shrink 0.1 inches to a 6.3-inch display, while the Pixel 7 Pro allegedly will stick to 6.7 inches. The Pixel 7 Pro shares the same Obsidian and Snow options, but has a more muted gray-green option called Hazel. In terms of colors, the Pixel 7 ships in Obsidian, Snow, and Lemongrass (light green). For Google's upcoming Pixels, the bars have an aluminum silver or gold finish that accentuates the sensors, so it's easy to tell apart the dual-camera Pixel 7 and triple-camera Pixel 7 Pro. Our Pixel 6 Pro reviewer loved how it keeps the phone balanced and tilted up on a desk, while our Pixel 6 reviewer appreciated its striking look but noted there's "no denying that the bump will catch your fingers, table edges, and pocket hems."Īs for what's different, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro all had matte black bars that made the camera sensors blend in seamlessly and gave each phone - except the all-black models - a cool two-tone look. Whether you consider its return a good or bad thing will depend on your perspective. While we don't have official dimensions, it appears the camera bar protrudes the same amount as before. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have thick, striking camera bars that have become Google's signature look, given the Pixel 6a also added one. If Google does develop a Pixel 7 "Ultra" device, it would ship at the same time but could cost as much as $1,000, if not more. The third model reportedly has the same display quality and size as the Pro, but other hypothetical upgrades - possibly improved cameras. ![]() But again, Google hasn't given an official number yet, so we can only speculate.Ĭuriously, we've heard rumors of a third Pixel 7 prototype, the G10, alongside the Pixel 7 (C10) and Pixel 7 Pro (P10). We won't be shocked if the newer models have the same pricing as before: $599 / £599 and $899 / £849, respectively, with a $100 / £100 upcharge for extra storage. And given Google failed to release Android 12 to AOSP until early October - and Google must have Android 13 ready before it can launch the Pixel 7 - a September launch date would cause unnecessary pressure on the Android team.Īs for pricing, most rumors we've seen thus far suggest the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro will have similar cameras and displays as last year's model. ![]() Google could simply be lengthening its production timeline to give itself more flexibility. In theory, that could signal a late September or early October launch, which would still qualify as "fall."īut this isn't firm evidence. One counter to this rumor is a Pixel 7 display leak from DSCC CEO Ross Young that Google will start Pixel 7 production a month earlier than in previous years.
