We also know that the Pixel 7 will employ the second-generation Tensor processor, which will open up all kinds of AI and machine learning capabilities, as we expected. But there are still a lot of unresolved concerns regarding this phone, and that’s understandable given that it won’t be available until later in 2022. More Pixel 7 speculations will undoubtedly surface in the coming months, painting a clearer picture of how Google’s phone will compete with smartphones like the Galaxy S22 and the impending iPhone 14 for a spot on the best phones list. Here’s everything we know so far about the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, as well as more rumours regarding Google’s upcoming flagship. The display specs for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have been revealed, and the Pro may feature a smart upscaling mechanism to preserve battery life. The most significant predicted differences may be seen in our Google Pixel 7 versus Google Pixel 6 comparison. So far, Google has only said that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro would be released in the fall. If we had to guess, we’d mark October on our calendars because that’s when Google usually unveils its autumn flagship update. The Pixel 7 isn’t going to be the next Google phone. Google also revealed the Pixel 6a, a $449 cheap phone that shares more in common with last year’s Pixel 6 than the future flagships, during the same I/O presentation where we received our Pixel 7 peek. Preorders for the Pixel 6a begin on July 21, with the phone shipping on July 28. The decks will then be cleared for the Pixel 7 launch. Google will most likely keep the Pixel 7 pricing under wraps until the autumn launch. To put things in perspective, the Pixel 6 costs $599, while the Pixel 6 Pro costs $899. That’s less than what other phone manufacturers charge for their top models—the Galaxy S22, for example, begins at $799, $200 more than the Pixel 6. As a result, we’re hoping Google can keep the Pixel 7 costs consistent. It’s helped Google’s phones stand out from the crowd, and it’s likely contributed to the Pixel 6 becoming the best-selling Pixel in the company’s history.
