The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are official for $599 & $899

The wait is finally over! The Pixel Hardware made by Google 2022″ event finally came and brought the Pixel 7 series with it putting an end to all the leaks, at least for the time being. After months of rumors, renders, rumored prices, early unboxing videos, and leaks, we now have all the official details for the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro – the two most important phones to date, both of which offer a lot of phone for prices well under competitors.

Google has now announced all of the details for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, its two most important phones to date, both of which offer a lot of phone for prices well under competitors. Let’s go over all of the official details right now.
in case you’ve been keeping off on buying a new Pixel phone until Google held its annual Pixel event. Pixel 7 series has the similar design of the Pixel 6 series, but with some important tweaks on each phone.

The list of similarities on both phones is extremely stubby, including the Google Tensor G2 processor, Titan M2 security chip, 50MP main camera on rear, Adaptive Battery functionality for “up to 72 hours” of battery life with ultra saving mode, IP68 water and dust resistance.

As we said above, both phones are powered by Google’s own Tensor G2 chipset with Tensor M2 security chip, made by Samsung on its 4nm node using panel-level packaging. The latest Tensor G2 chip has a new Samsung S5300 5G model to provide much better battery life, performance, stability, and efficiency against to the previous Tensor G1 chipset. It also offer higher clock speeds as hinted early benchmarked scores of the Pixel 7 Pro.

This new chipset built with two high-power Arm Cortex-X1 cores, paired up with two A76 cores, and four efficiency A55 cores. The A76 cluster is 100MHz faster at 2.35GHz. The X1 cluster has been bumped up by 50MHz at a frequency of 2.85GHz.
It scores a 10 percent gradual improvement in multi-core performance compared to the previous generation, which is a satisfactory uplift. For a notable improvement in graphics performance and efficiency, the Tensor G2 is combined with a Mali-G710 GPU, which is claimed to be 20% faster and 20% more power efficient than the previous generation GPU (Mali-G78 MP20).

Google Pixel 7 Pro

Google Pixel 7 Pro has more durable design with stainless steel with a glass black and that signature camera bar across the back, barrowed from previous generation Pixel 6 series. It has improved cameras, longer zoom, a bigger battery

For people who don’t need Pixel 7, but still want top tier specifications, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is a great powerhouse to start. For that $899 starting price (Note: the previous-gen Pixel 6 Pro was also introduced with the same price), the Google Pixel 7 Pro comes packed in a “polished” aluminum construction and has a 6.7″ LTPO QHD+ AMOLED display which delivers 120Hz refresh rate for buttery smooth scrolling with 3120 x 1400 pixels of resolution and put out up to 150 nits at full blast. Under the hood, the Tensor G2 chipset is paired up with 12GB of the latest LPDDR5X type RAM, and it comes in two storage compartment models, a base one with 128GB/256GB storage, as well as a 512GB version.

For photography, the Pixel 7 Pro has a triple camera system on rear side which includes: 50MP main camera with f/1.85, 12MP ultra-wide snapper with f/2.2 for 125° fields of view, and a 48MP telephoto module with f/3.5. In addition to the 6x optical zoom, and 30x Super Res Zoom capabilities, As for camera modes, Google is offering some Pixel-exclusive camera features for the Pro model. It gets an improved Magic Eraser for removing unwanted objects from your snaps, Macro Focus for close-up macro shots with improved quality. There is also a latest feature introduced called Cinematic Blur, which is similar to Apple’s Cinematic Mode. This feature helps to blur the background in videos. The front camera uses a 10.8-megapixel (read it as 11MP) fixed-focus sensor with a 93-degree wide field of view.

 

For security, of course, it has in-screen fingerprint reader. Biggest highlight of this is series, face recognition is now available on baord, whihc was missing on previous Pixel phones (except Pixel 4 series). Both vanilla and pro models will apparently handle face unlock with a 10.8MP selfie camera.

The Pixel 7 Pro is powered by a fairly large 5,000mAh battery with 30W fast charging
