Google Pixel 7 is a newly released smartphone with a great combination of functionality and style. The phone is lightweight, sleek, stylish, and available in various color options.
Google also announced the Pixel 7 alongside its top-of-the-line flagship, the Google Pixel 7 Pro. These phones are expected to launch in this year’s third or fourth quarter. In this article, we will be talking about the basic Pixel 7.
In general, the Pixel 7 series isn’t much different from the Pixel 6 series, at least from a design standpoint. We’ll go into more detail about the Google Pixel 7’s features, design, display camera, specs, price, and release date.

What’s unique about the Google Pixel 7 phone?
Google Pixel 7 phone is the purest Android experience ever. Android, as Google intended. Android running on Pixel phones looks much better than iOS on iPhones. It’s also free of all the useless bloatware you’d get on a non-Pixel Android phone.
Walkthrough: Which Phone is More User-Friendly, iPhone or Android?
Design:
The Google Pixel 7 looks very similar to its predecessor. Most people can’t even tell the difference based on a CAD-based render of what the surface is. Someone 3D printed the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro based on CAD renderings. However, the Pixel 7 may offer slightly thinner bezels. The device is made of metal and glass and has a display camera hole in the center.
The button layout is also preserved, and all physical buttons are placed on the right. The power/lock button is placed above the volume rocker button, the layout Google usually uses. The camera strip is again located on the back, similar to the one on the Pixel 6.
However, based on the CAD rendering, the black part of the camera strip extends as part of the phone frame. The same goes for black, where the camera strip extends. At least, this applies to the white model shown in the render. But beware of CAD-based renders, not official render leaks.
Display:
The Pixel 7 comes with a 6.2-6.4-inch display. Renowned display analyst Ross Young believes we’re looking at a 6.3-inch panel. The phone has a full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Google is expected to hit the 90Hz panel.
Camera:
No camera info has been leaked yet, but we expect Google to keep it closer to the Pixel 6 setup. The Pixel 7 comes with two cameras on the back. That’s the same amount the Pixel 6 has. This phone is likely to use its predecessor’s 50-megapixel ISOCELL GN1 camera. We all know that Google doesn’t tend to swap out camera sensors very often, but thanks to the software, their cameras improve with each generation.
The secondary camera on the back has an ultra-wide-angle camera, even if those sensors are more likely to differ. For comparison, the Pixel 6 includes a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the back. The Pixel 7 is expected to offer more optimized camera performance regardless of the camera settings.
Performance
This phone is powered by the 2nd generation Google Tensor processor. This is expected to include the new Samsung modems. Google again takes advantage of LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage. However, you cannot expand your phone’s storage.
Android 13 is pre-installed on your device, and Bluetooth 5.2 is standard. WiFi 6 support is also expected, and the phone can connect to 5G networks.
Battery:
Battery capacity is still a mystery regarding this phone, but hopefully, Google offers faster charging this time. The Pixel 6 supports 21W charging, but it’s pretty slow at 50%, so it takes about 2 hours to charge the device entirely. Wireless charging is also supported on mobile phones. Google Pixel 7 measures 155.6 x 73.1 x 8.7mm (11.44mm with camera bump).
Other features:
Another fact is that the camera sensors are positioned differently inside the strap. The 3.5mm headphone jack isn’t here, and the Type-C port and the phone’s main speaker are on the bottom.
At the top, you’ll see an antenna for mm-wave 5G, which some might confuse with a pop-up camera. The phone may be slightly smaller than its predecessor.
