After the Made by Google launch on October 6th, we learned more about Google's flagship Android phones, Google Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro. They have announced that the release date will be on October 13th, but it can be pre-ordered now, as mentioned in AndroidPolice.
There are a lot of notable changes with the newly launched phones. We now have an idea of what these changes are, as opposed to relying on links and rumors across the internet.
Google Pixel 7
One of the changes in the camera is the camera bar changing from glass to metal. This could be due to the lens flare the photos are getting due to the light reflections from the glass rear camera bar.
The Pixel 7 has two cameras, both within the black pill cut out at the top of the phone. The rear camera is 50MP wide (f/1.85) and 12 MP ultrawide (f/2.2, 114 degrees Field of View) while the front camera has 10 MP, f/2.2, 98.8 degrees Field of View.
As for color, both phones will come in Obsidian and Snow, which is just black or white. The Pixel 7 will have a Lemongrass shade.
Its SoC is the Google Tensor G2, which is a processing unit said to be able to run machine learning tasks 60% faster and 20% more efficiently, according to gsmarena.com. It is used by the exclusive Google Pixel feature Photo Unblur.
It has a 6.3-inch FHD+ OLED, 90 Hz display. It also has a 25% higher peak brightness compared to the Pixel 6.
