The leaks have monitored Google’s work on adopting a new display panel for the Pixel 7 Pro: the new S6E3HC4 panel will have the same 3,120 x 1,440 pixel resolution and the same 10-120 Hz refresh rate, so what is it? actually changed from the Pixel 6 Pro’s S6E3HC3? This question is partially answered in the source code that is part of the Android 13 beta.
The new display panel will be brighter. Based on the code shown below, the Pixel 7 Pro will allow the user to go up to 600 nits in Manual mode, 100 nits more than the 6 Pros on offer.
In Auto mode, the display peaks at 1,000 nits, compared to 800 nits. Note that these values are for 100% APL, which is a completely white display. At lower APL (which is a much more common case), the brightness could likely reach 1,200 nits.

The source code also describes some additional features for the display panel, including support for HDR10 and HLG images. However, there is still no HDR10 + or a lower minimum refresh rate. That said, there is a native 1080p mode, which should help cut down on power consumption.
The Pixel 7 series is “coming”, but Google has not yet set an official launch date (it will be in October, according to rumors). It’s unclear at this point whether even the smaller Pixel 7 gets a display update.
