Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro (2022): Features, Price, Release Date (WIRED)

These new Android handsets don't represent a giant leap from last year's Pixel 6, but they do contain some smart updates.

The Pixel 7 is a tiny bit smaller and lighter than the Pixel 6, with a 6.3-inch screen (versus 6.4 inches). So while Face Unlock gives you a quicker path to your home screen, you can't use the feature to authenticate payments or to sign into banking apps—you'll have to use your fingerprint for those. The screen is still not completely flat like on the Pixel 7, though. The Pro model employs polished aluminum, and the standard Pixel has a matte finish. Google also offered up more details about the Pixel Watch, the company's first-ever smartwatch, which you can At its Made by Google event in New York City today, the company unboxed its two new flagship phones, both of which feature small but welcome improvements—like Face Unlock as a secondary way to authenticate your identity, and a Cinematic Blur feature that adds a portrait-like look to video footage.

Both devices are powered by the new Tensor G2 hardware, as Google continues to walk its own path on hardware, rather than turn to other providers. This puts a ...

The great thing, however, is that Google isn't pumping up the prices. There's also more power put into Night Sight, so it's going to be much faster than it was before, as well as boosts to video capture on the Pixel 7, including a Cinematic Blur function for a shallow depth of field. But there's some more clever tech going into this camera, which will combine data from both the main and telephoto lens to boost the quality of images between 2.5x and 5x zoom where it's between lenses. Most of the attention, however, will be on the cameras, with Google continuing to pursue its computational photography. This puts a focus on security, while also introducing VPN by Google One (coming later in the year), which will enable you to encrypt and anonymise your internet activity to again protect your security. That includes highlighting more metal across the camera bar on the back, moving from having an insert in the frame to a more solid solution.

Google Pixel 7 Pro vs Pixel 6 Pro: What has changed? (TrustedReviews)

Google has just shown off its Pixel 7 Pro. But how does it compare to the previous generation? Here's the lowdown.

Based on what we saw at the presentation, it seems like the changes made to the Pixel 7 Pro are not all that radical. The design has also seen a significant change with the new generation. One key change to the new range of Pixels is the upgraded processor.

Google Pixel 7 vs iPhone 14: What's the difference? (TrustedReviews)

Google has officially launched its Pixel 7. The announcement came just weeks after Apple unveiled its own iPhone 14. Here's how they compare.

While this is unfortunately quite standard for a flagship smartphone these days, it’s still a lot more expensive than the Pixel 7 which comes in at a much lower £599. It’s the only standard Pixel, meaning that if you want a bigger phone, you’ll need to opt for the 6.4-inch tall Pixel 7 Pro. However, there’s also a Plus model, measuring 6.33 x 3.07 x 0.31-inches, meaning you can get a bigger phone without upgrading to the 14 Pro (though you’ll still need to pay a bit more for it). There’s another 12-megapixel sensor on the front and, like the Pixel, both the front and rear cameras can record 4K video at up to 60fps. The Pixel 7 has a dual rear camera that consists of a 50-megapixel wide sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. The long list of features includes the Magic Eraser, Motion Mode, Photo Unblur, Real Tone, Face Unblur and Night Sight.

Google's Pixel 7 Pro takes the iPhone 14 Pro head-on (Expert Reviews)

With the Pixel 7 Pro greedily snaffling all the major upgrades, it's no surprise that this is the phone Google wants you to buy in 2022.

Predictably, the Pixel 7 Pro is the bigger phone of the two, with a 6.7in OLED display. The Pixel 7 Pro’s low-light shooting has seen a major improvement, with reduced visual noise and motion blur courtesy of a two times’ faster image capture via Night Sight. The biggest zoom on a Pixel yet, the 7 Pro is capable of hybrid zooming all the way up to 30x, with some rather interesting camera trickery filling in the gaps. The Pixel 7 Pro’s camera setup is slightly different, too. You’ll get 12GB of RAM no matter which model you choose – the regular Pixel 7 has 8GB. These upgrades will cost you, however, with the Pixel 7 Pro costing £150 more than the regular model.

Google Pixel 7 vs Pixel 7 Pro: Comparing the big differences (TrustedReviews)

Google has finally taken the wraps off its new duo of phones – the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. But what sets the two phones apart?

But for £599, the Pixel 7 still packs plenty of punch. While the Pixel 7 purely relies on the AI Super Res digital zoom, the Pro has a dedicated telephoto camera. It has more cameras, more RAM and a bigger screen. It’s also available in 512GB size, something you won’t find on the Pixel 7. However, there’s a lot more going to be sucking through the battery on the Pro, including more pixels on the display and a faster refresh rate so it might not lead to better endurance. With the 7 Pro, you’ve got a 6.7-inch panel, whereas the Pixel 7 has a 6.3-inch version. Camera skills have always been a key selling point of the Pixel line, and that remains here. Both phones have a main 50MP sensor on the back, with an f/1.85 aperture. But it’s the Pixel 7 that stands out if you want something brighter. There’s nothing wrong with the FHD+ resolution and 1400 nits of peak brightness on the Pixel 7, though. The Pro model has more skills too, with a 120Hz refresh rate rather than 90Hz, a slightly higher peak brightness of 1500 It weighs 212g, as opposed to the 197g Pixel 7, and is much taller.

Snapchat and TikTok will both support 10-bit HDR video on the Pixel 7 series, the first apps on Android to support it.

Apple itself only offers a maximum of $720 for customers who trade in an iPhone 13 Pro Max for a new smartphone, such as the 14 Pro Max.

We don't know how the Pixel 7 will match up just yet, but Google says it's made improvements. Google said the Pixel 7 has a 6.3-inch screen that's 25% brighter than last year's model for improved visibility outdoors. Google bumped the resolution of the back camera up to 50 megapixels, which should offer sharper images than last year's phones. The Tensor processor helps enable features that Google said it couldn't provide otherwise, such as increased camera functions, on-device translation and more. The Pixel is gaining momentum, but it still has just a fraction of the phone market. The company hopes that it can carry that momentum with the new Pixel 7. The service includes access to more than 200 workouts, offers information on how sleep and heart rate trends have changed over time and more. The Pixel Watch only works with Android phones. - The Pixel Watch, with Fitbit built in, starts at $349.99.

The biggest announcements from Google's Pixel 7 event (The Verge)

Miss out on the Pixel event? We've got you covered with the major headlines on all of the must-know announcements, including the Pixel Tablet, the price and ...

The ultrawide camera has widened its field of view, and the 48-megapixel telephoto camera has a slightly boosted Super Res Zoom (from 20x to 30x) and another step of optical zoom, going from 4x in the Pixel 6 Pro to 5x in the newer phone. The company is touting that this gadget will be useful for things like video calling, photo editing, or just yelling at it across the room to summon Google Assistant. Its user interface will adapt to a more Nest Hub-like layout when it’s attached to the charging dock. The Pixel Watch comes in one size: a 41mm case. The tablet has pogo pins on its rear that attach magnetically to the dock. Like the Pixel 7, Google is touting 4K / 60fps in all of its new cameras (selfie cam included). The screen seems like a big deal, but one of the other big highlights here (and likely the main reason for the price gap between the two models) is the cameras. It features a couple of notable improvements, including the jump to the Tensor G2 processor, a refined (but less jubilant) set of colors, up to three days of battery life in Extreme Battery Saver mode, and a better 10.8-megapixel selfie cam. The Pixel 7 starts at $599 — just like the Pixel 6 — though its OLED display is just a hair smaller, going from 6.4 inches to 6.3 inches. (The Pixel 6 has an 8-megapixel front-facing cam.) While the camera hardware is similar to the last-gen model, Google is touting some Pixel 7-exclusive features, like 4K / 60 frames per second video on each lens and Cinematic Blur, one of its newfangled camera features that adds depth of field to your videos. The Pixel 7 Pro is Google’s true flagship phone, as was the Pixel 6 Pro in 2021. All said, there wasn’t much in the way of surprises this year since Google already spilled its own hardware beans at Google I/O, but it was great to see these devices up close and to get firm prices, release dates, and more.

Hands on: Google Pixel 7 review (TechRadar)

With the graphics boost in the new Tensor 2, we're expecting great performance from Android 13 on this phone. RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU...

The Google Pixel 7 is a curious device. The Pixel 7 can charge at 30W and Google says you'll get a half charge in 30 minutes. Google says that in an Extreme Battery Saver mode, the Pixel 7 will last up to 72 hours. That doesn't mean the Pixel 7 doesn't look great. The 6.3-inch display on the Google Pixel 7 Pro looked great in our hands-on time with the phone. Compared to other phones that claim to be a 'bare bones' Android experience, the Pixel 7 looks very similar. This is limited to use on the phone, so it won't be a Google Photos feature for everyone but we're excited to apply Google magic to our old portraits to eliminate blur and sharpen faces. The Pixel 7 looks and feels like a premium device, very much part of the new Pixel family. The white color ('Snow') is also appealing, though we prefer this more professional look on the Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 7 gets the same Tensor G2 chipset as the [Pixel 7 Pro](https://www.techradar.com/reviews/google-pixel-7-pro), and while it may lack some other 7 Pro features, that one advantage should give it a boost. As we've said, the phone doesn't lack for power or Google-exclusive features, so this could be considered a Pixel mini as much as a base model phone (at least until Google teases a Pixel 7a). While that camera band is the first feature that will grab you about the Pixel 7, the phone is delightfully rounded in its design, as well.

Should Google have skipped the Pixel 7? (TrustedReviews)

Google's latest phone launch was a prime example of the compulsive yet unnecessary yearly churn in the smartphone market.

Pixel 7 Pro AI-Powered Cameras Could Make You Rethink That ... (CNET)

Exclusive: Along with new camera hardware, the Tensor G2 AI brain in Google's $899 phone helps you zoom, focus, unblur faces and shoot in the dark.

The camera is the same as the one used in the Pixel 6 models. 7: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro phones' main 50-megapixel camera. Google developed a method called Super Res Zoom that takes advantage of hand shake to gather more detailed data about the subject and zoom better. The Pixel 7 Pro's 50-megapixel main camera and 48-megapixel telephoto cameras offer something of a fix. "Obviously, the quality of 30x isn't going to be quite what it is at 10x," Schiffhauer said. The Pixel 6 Pro often pauses when activating its telephoto camera. You'll get full 12-megapixel raw images only at the Pixel 7 Pro's fixed zoom levels of 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x. For all the cameras, though, Google now uses an AI algorithm to process focusing data from the image sensor. On the Pixel 7 Pro, the ultrawide has the same sensor as last year but gets a macro mode, autofocus and a wider 0.5x zoom. That improves photos compared with just digitally upscaling a photo from the main camera, Schiffhauer said. (The 2x mode works on Google's Pixel 7, too.) The Pixel 7 models' keeps the same 50-megapixel camera but houses it in a restyled camera bar.
