The incoming reports on the specs of the new Pixel 7 series are painting a picture of slight upgrades over the current generation of Pixel 6, which is nearly a year old at this point. Yesterday’s report focused on the Pixel 7, now it’s time to take a closer look at the Pixel 7 Pro model.
The move to the Tensor G2 is expected, the new chip is expected to bring improvements to the GPU, NPU and modem. Based on unconfirmed information from Yogesh Brar, the Pro model will be available in 12 / 128GB and 12 / 256GB configurations. There are no words about a 12 / 512GB model like current phones – perhaps Google has eliminated it based on sales figures, or perhaps the rumored information is incomplete.
Either way, the Pro phone is expected to have a 50MP, ultra-wide 12MP, and 48MP telephoto main configuration like its predecessor, although the camera will use a new sensor, a Samsung GM1 that will step in to replace the Sony IMX586. .
The selfie camera will also undergo a slight change: the resolution will remain at 11 MP, although the new module is expected to have autofocus (using a new Samsung 3J1 sensor).

Moving forward, the display sounds as before: a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED panel with QHD + resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. This will remain a major selling point over the vanilla Pixel 7’s FHD + 90Hz display.
Finally, the battery will be essentially the same with a capacity of 5,000mAh and support for 30W fast charging (although it remains to be seen if the phone actually reaches 30W). Wireless charging will be supported on both Pixel 7 models.
It looks like a lot is driving on the Tensor G2 chip as it is the only major upgrade (and this is moot, some might point out that it has pretty much the same CPU as the G1). Prices should remain the same: $ 600 for a Pixel 7, $ 900 for a Pixel 7 Pro. That’s not a bad thing at a time of rising costs, but a cheaper Pixel 6/6 Pro may prove more appealing to some. .
