We now know lots about the Google Pixel 7, even though it’s only expected to launch at the end of the year.
Well, color us surprised: the Google Pixel 7 is official. Sort-of. At Google IO 2022, the company gave us a prolonged look at the upcoming Android phone, and now we know lots about it. We weren’t expecting this at all, because the expected launch window for Google’s next main-series phone is around October 2022. We also saw the Google Pixel 6a, which is what we actually were expecting. Even though the Pixel 7 launch is still months away, we now know quite a bit about the phone – so here are some of the biggest facts we just learnt. Like with the Google Pixel 6 range, there is going to be a Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Clearly the double-phone approach from last year worked – and this also suggests that the XL name, which Google used for a few years for its ‘Pro-like’ phones, is gone. The picture you see at the top of this article is the Pixel 7 Pro. We know there are two Pixel 7 phones because Google showed us both of them. The handsets don’t look too different to their Pixel 6 predecessors, with the big camera bar remaining the eye-catching design feature.
