That’s it, the new premium smartphones from Google have been unveiled. We now know everything about the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, and if one of the two appeals to you, you’ll be delighted to learn that they are directly available for pre-order, with great gifts to boot.
During its conference, Google highlighted two types of new products, with on the one hand its connected watch Pixel Watch and on the other its two new flagships, named Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. If the latter are not really aesthetically different from those of the older generation, they nevertheless bring big changes in terms of artificial intelligence and photography. For those interested, note that the two phones are entering the pre-order phase today, for an official release on October 13, 2022.

Pixel 7 Pro: the new zoom champion in photos
The Google Pixel 7 Pro looks a lot like its predecessor despite the new colors available. It offers the same format and the same screen size as before with a curved OLED panel in QHD + definition (not to mention the refresh rate at 120 Hz) measuring 6.7 inches. However, it is slightly lower and narrower, which allows the edges to be thinner, but the phone still takes 2 grams on the scale.
The biggest visual difference comes from the photo module, which is still arranged on a horizontal strip, but chrome or silver, and not black, to even more highlight the various sensors, which also form a kind of “i” . Speaking of the photo, Google has chosen to keep the same configuration as on the Pixel 6 Pro (a 50-megapixel wide-angle and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle), except for the 48-megapixel telephoto lens which goes from x4 at x5. It is therefore possible to take advantage of a better zoom, up to x30 while maintaining a suitable definition with the “Super Res Zoomand with exemplary stability, according to the brand. This is not the only software addition to capture beautiful shots, we can also note the presence of the “Face Unblurfor sharp portraits in all circumstances.
Pixel 7: excellent value for money
The Google Pixel 7 obviously isn’t quite as polished as the Pro model above, but it still represents the good value for money that we love so much, all the more so in an even more compact format than the Pixel 6, and also lighter with 10 grams less. Indeed, the new smartphone from the Mountain View company offers a 6.3-inch OLED screen instead of 6.4 inches on the Pixel 6, still with Full HD + definition and a refresh rate of 90 Hz.
Compared to the Pixel 7 Pro, the photo only accommodates two lenses, one 50-megapixel wide-angle and the other 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle. Some zoom-related features will also be present, but less effective with a magnification of only x8 (compared to x30 on the Pro). However, it’s a safe bet that the classic Pixel 7 is still an excellent photophone, especially for the price at which it is offered, which is the same as its predecessor at launch. The autonomy is also different with the Pro model of 2022, since the latter has a 5,000 mAh battery against a 4,355 mAh accumulator on the classic version of this new high-end smartphone. However, the Californian manufacturer promises to have optimized its energy saving mode.
Whether it’s the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro, both phones feature the second generation of Google’s chip, namely the Tensor G2. Once again, the Mountain View firm has focused on artificial intelligence to provide the best performance in everyday use. However, the gaming experience also seems to have been improved with a GPU moving from Mali-G78 MP20 to Mali-G710 MP07, the same as on the ROG Phone 6D, a smartphone designed for mobile video games.
