Google’s been teasing the Pixel 7 series and the Pixel Watch for months now. On Thursday, the company plans to give the phones and the watch a bigger reveal at its Made by Google event in New York.
Here’s everything we’re expecting to see in those devices, from rumors to confirmed specs.
Google first announced the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro at its annual I/O developer conference in May, which gave us an idea of what to expect.
Both phones will sport a second-generation Tensor chip, Google’s in-house silicon. The processor made its debut in the Pixel 6 series and allowed for new features in the camera system. That includes Magic Eraser, which removes unwanted objects from photos, and Real Tone, which portrays skin tones more accurately. We don’t know much about the second-gen Tensor chip just yet, but we can probably expect similar machine learning-based improvements.
The Pixel 7 series will come with Android 13. Its most obvious design change from the Pixel 6 comes in the form of the camera bar. While the Pixel 6 sports a long black camera bar across the back, the bar on the Pixel 7 will be made of recycled aluminum and feature black camera cutouts that stand out a bit more.
Google renders show the Pixel 7 Pro will also have a triple rear camera system, just like the 6 Pro. Pictures appear to show that it’ll have a standard wide, ultrawide and telephoto lens. And the standard Pixel 7 appears to have two rear cameras, just like the Pixel 6.
When it comes to the front camera, the Pixel 7 will have a pill-shaped camera notch, according to images Google shared in May.
