Google Pixel 7: New Tensor Chip, Better Camera for the Same Price (CNET)

The fact that Google has managed to keep the Pixel 7's price in the US the same is also significant. The Pixel 7 will be available in black, white and a soft yellow, which Google calls obsidian, snow and lemongrass. While Apple didn't technically raise the iPhone 14's price compared to the iPhone 13, it no longer offers a cheaper "Mini" version of the iPhone 14 as it had done the past two years. The snow Pixel 7 has a silver metallic, matte camera bar and matching edges that pair nicely with its glossy white exterior. And Direct My Call, which transcribes automated phone menus, will show the menu in text form right away so that you don't have to wait for the operator to verbally speak all of the options. The Pixel 7 is a modest upgrade, unlike last year's Pixel 6, which was the first phone to feature Google's self-made Tensor processor and a more drastic redesign from 2020's However, only the Pixel 7 Pro has a 48-megapixel telephoto lens that can zoom up to 5x optically and 30x digitally. I've only spent a few minutes using the Pixel 7, but it seems pretty easy to operate with one hand so far. It's a lot like Apple's Cinematic Mode, which it introduced last year on the The new phone, which was [unveiled as part of last week's Pixel event](/tech/mobile/pixel-7-pixel-7-pro-and-pixel-watch-everything-new-google-announced/), shows off a slightly updated design, a camera with improved zoom, face unlock and new features designed for improving phone calls. Photo Unblur, meanwhile, can sharpen old photos to make them look more in-focus, building on the Face Unblur feature that Google introduced last year. The feature, called Guided Frame, audibly tells the user how to position the phone in order to frame a selfie correctly.

Google Pixel 7 vs. Pixel 7 Pro: How to buy the right one for you (ZDNet)

It's here: Google's flagship lineup of smartphones, the $599 Pixel 7 and $899 Pixel 7 Pro. Like last year's Pixel handsets, the two feature Google's latest ...

If this sounds like a practical tool for you, then the Pixel 7 Pro is the better of the two Pixels. While the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro share the same main and ultrawide lenses, the latter carries a third 48MP telephoto shooter for those dreamy portrait shots of people, pets, and even food. If you're a fan of bright and lively yellow hues, then Lemongrass -- limited to the standard Pixel 7 -- has your name on it. Both aspects should yield significantly better endurance on the Pixel 7 Pro, making it ideal for power users and those who are always on the go. Oh, and the Pixel 7 series supports Face Unlock again. It's here: Google's flagship lineup of smartphones, the $599 Pixel 7 and $899 Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 7 is not a small phone by any means. The Pixel 7 is just as capable as the Pro sibling with an IP68 rating, the same main and ultrawide cameras, and also being powered by the latest Tensor G2 chipset for high performance and efficiency. There's nothing wrong with paying less for a smartphone, but you'll certainly feel guilty knowing that the Pixel 7 comes with all the Android benefits of the Pro model -- while costing $300 less. To help you better understand the scope of the latest phones and make your buying decision as Pixel-perfect as possible, I've broken down the key reasons to buy one model over the other below. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

Pixel 7 and 7 Pro unveiled with Tensor G2 and camera improvements (GSMArena.com)

They look mostly the same, though there are some changes inside and out. Pre-orders start today with a free Pixel Watch or Pixel Buds Pro as a bonus.

There are some pre-order perks too - the 7 Pro is paired with a free Pixel Watch (the LTE version no less), while a Pixel 7 pre-order will net you a free pair of Pixel Buds Pro. The Google Pixel 7 starts at $600/€650/£600 for a 128GB unit, the Pixel 7 Pro will set you back $900/€900/£850 (again with 128GB storage). The more slender build of the Pixel 7 also means that it has a smaller battery, 4,355mAh (down from 4,614mAh). It has a higher resolution sensor, 10.8MP (up from 8MP last year), and a wider field of view as well – 92.8° (up from 84°). Like with the Pro, a lot is riding on the Tensor G2 chipset (the 6a uses the original Tensor chip). For zooming in, the phone relies on the relatively high resolution main sensor and Google’s Super Res Zoom image processing (which has been upgraded, thanks to the extra processing power available on the G2 chipset). We would have loved to see 120Hz this year, even without LTPO, but for what it’s worth this phone is cheaper than the Galaxy S22 and iPhone 14 (which has a 60Hz display). The 7 is slightly smaller than the 6, due to its 6.3” display (down from 6.4”). There is the selfie camera to talk about, but we’ll leave that for the Pixel 7 report below. If you want to capture more of the scene, there is the 12MP ultra wide camera (1.25µm) with 125.8° FoV. The GPU is a Mali-G710 MC10, which promises a performance and efficiency increase over the G78 for graphics but also a 35% boost for machine learning tasks (something that the Pixel Camera app leverages heavily). It works to improve the Pixel 7's own cameras too, of course, more on that in a second.

Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro (2022): Features, Price, Release Date (WIRED)

These new Android handsets don't represent a giant leap from last year's Pixel 6, but they do contain some smart updates.

The Pixel 7 is a tiny bit smaller and lighter than the Pixel 6, with a 6.3-inch screen (versus 6.4 inches). So while Face Unlock gives you a quicker path to your home screen, you can't use the feature to authenticate payments or to sign into banking apps—you'll have to use your fingerprint for those. The screen is still not completely flat like on the Pixel 7, though. The Pro model employs polished aluminum, and the standard Pixel has a matte finish. Google also offered up more details about the Pixel Watch, the company's first-ever smartwatch, which you can At its Made by Google event in New York City today, the company unboxed its two new flagship phones, both of which feature small but welcome improvements—like Face Unlock as a secondary way to authenticate your identity, and a Cinematic Blur feature that adds a portrait-like look to video footage.

Google says the Pixel 7 will have the highest quality zoom of any Pixel. Preorders for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro start today. The Google Pixel Tablet will also include the G2 chip. The Pixel Watch will be the first Android watch with Fitbit integrations. CNET's Lisa Eadicicco is getting hands-on time with the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro at Google's event. The Pixel 7 Pro is the one with three cameras on the back. The phone will have a polished aluminum finish and an aluminum camera bar.

Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro features, Australian pricing: New and first ... (7NEWS.com.au)

The lineup will likely appeal to tech enthusiasts who want an alternative to Apple or Samsung smartphones.

The new 41 mm Google Pixel Watch features a circular, domed-shaped Gorilla Glass display that’s scratch- and water-resistant. (Google said the Pixel 7 line, however, will launch in several new countries, including India, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands.) With Night Sight, for example, the camera now processes photos twice as fast. “Given the success of the Apple Watch, there has to be a bigger market for smartwatches in the Android segment and together with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch, the new Pixel Watch should be a key driver for growth.” It may take the Pixel Watch a few generations to catch up to the Apple Watch in terms of usability, however, as Apple’s smartwatch is now in its ninth iteration. But coupled with the Fitbit acquisition and the formation of Wear OS in collaboration with Samsung, Google is showing its greater commitment to the smartwatch market and perhaps hoping the time may finally be right for it. At the event, Google also teased another early look at its upcoming Pixel tablet, which will feature the Tensor G2 processor, and is expected to launch in 2023. At a press event in New York City, Google showed off the new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro devices, which largely look the same as the year prior but with new camera features, an improved screen and battery, and an updated Google Tensor processor. The larger 6.7-inch Pixel Pro – which comes in a matte aluminum finish – features an always-on display, the same long-lasting battery as the Pixel 7 and a new triple rear camera system, which includes a 5x telephoto lens, 30x super resolution zoom and an upgraded ultrawide lens. Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro Australian prices The 6.3-inch Pixel 7 features a glass back, aluminum frame and a sleek band on the back with black cutouts for the camera system. - Pixel 7 Pro 128GB $1,299

This isn't a huge deal, but it will normalize 10-bit HDR video across the Android ecosystem and widens the door for those apps to support higher-quality video ...

Snapchat and TikTok will both support 10-bit HDR video on the Pixel 7 series, the first apps on Android to support it. With this change, it makes it likely that other apps (that aren’t just TikTok and Snapchat) will be able to integrate and support HDR video as well in the future. One of the biggest for people who like to film on their smartphones is the introduction of support for 10-bit HDR video, increasing the number of colors that can be recorded in a video.

Google Offers Up to $750 Off a New Pixel 7 When Trading in 1TB ... (Mac Rumors)

Google is aiming to lure iPhone users to its new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro by offering high trade in values for prior-generation iPhone 13 models....

Apple today provided developers with a new beta firmware update for the AirPods 2, AirPods 3, AirPods Pro, AirPods Pro 2, and AirPods Max. Earning the "DisplayMate Best Smartphone Display Award" with an A+ Display Performance grade, the iPhone 14 Pro Max replaces last year's winner, the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Pro Max offers the best smartphone display on the market, according to DisplayMate's annual Display Technology Shoot-Out. Apple has seen high demand for the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max, which could lead the company to further differentiate the next-generation iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Google today announced the launch of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones, which will directly compete with the iPhone 14 lineup, plus it debuted the Pixel Watch, an Apple Watch competitor. In a similar test, the iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted 12 hours and 16... Apple could add exclusive features to the iPhone 15 Pro Max in an effort to encourage more people to purchase the larger and more expensive device. We've spent the last week working on an in-depth comparison that pits the new iPhone 14 Pro Max against the prior-generation iPhone 13 Pro Max to see just how much better the iPhone 14 Pro Max can be. The camera bump on the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro Max is expected to be the largest rear lens housing Apple has ever installed on its flagship smartphones, and a new photo offers a rare glimpse at just how prominent it is compared to Apple's predecessor device. Apple itself only offers a maximum of $720 for customers who trade in an iPhone 13 Pro Max for a new smartphone, such as the 14 Pro Max. The data shows that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are performing poorly in terms of value retention, depreciating twice as much as the iPhone... Google is providing up to $750 in trade-in value to iPhone customers, with the $750 offered for an iPhone 13 Pro Max with 1TB storage, originally priced at $1599.

The Pixel 7 Pro Adds Face Unlock, a Bigger Screen and More ... (CNET)

Google's big reveal for the Pixel 7 Pro showcases a new Tensor G2 chip, better camera zoom and enhanced security features.

The Pixel 7 Pro seems like a minor upgrade over last year's Pixel 6 Pro, but it will likely feel like a noteworthy upgrade for those coming from a Pixel phone that's at least two years old. As was the case with the Pixel 6 Pro, the Pixel 7 Pro's display can boost its refresh rate up to 120Hz. The Pixel 7 Pro's color options include obsidian (black), snow (white) and hazel (a grayish green). The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro each have a slightly updated version of the design that Google introduced with the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. [super-fast millimeter wave 5G.](/tech/mobile/not-all-5g-is-the-same-all-the-flavors-and-names-explained/) Google claims both Pixel phones should last for more than 24 hours on a single charge and up to 72 hours with Extreme Battery Saver mode turned on. With Guided Frame, the Pixel 7 or 7 Pro can verbally direct you on how to position your phone in order to capture a good selfie. The Pixel 7 Pro has a 5x optical zoom compared with last year's 4x, along with other zoom tricks too. Google uses the same idea with the Pixel 7 Pro's dedicated 48-megapixel telephoto camera. It looked crisp and detailed in the moment, but it's hard to tell without looking at it on a bigger screen. That enables it to blend in detail from the telephoto and main cameras for better image quality than digital zoom alone would provide, Google said. [Google's $899 (£849, AU$1,299) Pixel 7 Pro](/tech/mobile/pixel-7-pixel-7-pro-and-pixel-watch-everything-new-google-announced/) is taking the most expensive spot in the company's phone lineup, and like last year's Pixel 6 Pro is using its larger size and third camera to set itself apart. The new phones also signal Google's approach in doing so, which boils down to undercutting its competitors' prices, focusing on camera quality and developing exclusive software features for its phones.

The Pixel 7 Pro has a few other high-end trimmings. The Pixel Watch starts at $349.99 for Bluetooth and WiFi and $399.99 for 4G LTE. We don't know how the Pixel 7 will match up just yet, but Google says it's made improvements. Google said the Pixel 7 has a 6.3-inch screen that's 25% brighter than last year's model for improved visibility outdoors. Google bumped the resolution of the back camera up to 50 megapixels, which should offer sharper images than last year's phones. The Tensor processor helps enable features that Google said it couldn't provide otherwise, such as increased camera functions, on-device translation and more. The Pixel is gaining momentum, but it still has just a fraction of the phone market. The company hopes that it can carry that momentum with the new Pixel 7. The service includes access to more than 200 workouts, offers information on how sleep and heart rate trends have changed over time and more. The Pixel Watch only works with Android phones. - The Pixel Watch, with Fitbit built in, starts at $349.99. The company reports an "other" revenue segment, which includes hardware, Play Store, and non-advertising YouTube revenue.

Pixel 6 vs Pixel 7 comparison: Which is the better Google phone? (Mashable)

Google just unveiled the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Here's how they compare to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

The Pixel 7 Pro's telephoto lens can now zoom in up to 30x but still maintain sharp resolution and image stabilization. However, the Pixel 7 does have an upgrade in the 10.8MP selfie camera as compared to the Pixel 6's front-facing 8MP lens. There's the Magic Eraser to remove any eyesores from your otherwise perfect shot, Motion Mode for crisp action shots, impressive low-light performance, and Real Tone technology that displays vivid shades of a wide spectrum of skin colors. So, no change, but it's still top-of-the-line as far as display specs go. Thanks to some [credible leaks](https://mashable.com/article/google-pixel-7-leak), we saw a lot of this coming, but now we know the lowdown on all of the phones' exciting new software features — [like macro mode and Photo Unblur](https://mashable.com/article/google-pixel-7-pixel-watch-hands-on). As Mashable's Matt Binder outlined in a full [Tensor G2 analysis](https://mashable.com/article/google-event-tensor-2-chip-ai-announcement), the chip is 60 percent faster, 20 percent more efficient, and powers emoji suggestions with voice dictation, audio message transcription within text messages, and immediately displays automated directory options with the Direct My Call feature.

Google's latest phone launch was a prime example of the compulsive yet unnecessary yearly churn in the smartphone market.

In other features, as the Pixel Stand supports Qi charging, you can use it to top up other compatible devices at up to 15W speed. While it won't give the charging speed of a Pixel Stand (2nd Gen), it can deliver a decent 10W charging, which is enough to push some extra charge into your phone even if you are using it for navigation. It's also easy to use, and the clamps securely hold your phone in place. It's the only wireless charger that can deliver over 20W charging to your phone. Thanks to the support for USB Power Delivery (USB PD) and PPS, the car charger can deliver up to 65W power through its USB-C port, which is more than enough to juice up the Pixel 7 or the 7 Pro at their top speed. It's fully compatible with the Pixel phones thanks to the support for USB PD and PPS fast charging standards. If you want to pair the Pixel 7 or the Pixel 7 Pro with premium wireless earbuds, it's hard to go wrong with the Sony WF-1000XM4. The Tough Clear case is known for offering top-notch drop protection while allowing you to flaunt the design of your phone. Plus, the charging case is compact and keeps the earbuds in place when you aren't using them.

Pixel 7 Pro AI-Powered Cameras Could Make You Rethink That ... (CNET)

Exclusive: Along with new camera hardware, the Tensor G2 AI brain in Google's $899 phone helps you zoom, focus, unblur faces and shoot in the dark.

The camera is the same as the one used in the Pixel 6 models. 7: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro phones' main 50-megapixel camera. Google developed a method called Super Res Zoom that takes advantage of hand shake to gather more detailed data about the subject and zoom better. The Pixel 7 Pro's 50-megapixel main camera and 48-megapixel telephoto cameras offer something of a fix. "Obviously, the quality of 30x isn't going to be quite what it is at 10x," Schiffhauer said. The Pixel 6 Pro often pauses when activating its telephoto camera. You'll get full 12-megapixel raw images only at the Pixel 7 Pro's fixed zoom levels of 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x. For all the cameras, though, Google now uses an AI algorithm to process focusing data from the image sensor. On the Pixel 7 Pro, the ultrawide has the same sensor as last year but gets a macro mode, autofocus and a wider 0.5x zoom. That improves photos compared with just digitally upscaling a photo from the main camera, Schiffhauer said. (The 2x mode works on Google's Pixel 7, too.) The Pixel 7 models' keeps the same 50-megapixel camera but houses it in a restyled camera bar.

Pixel 7 Pro teardown shows better cooling, cleaner layout than last ... (Ars Technica)

A cleaner layout enables more thermal tape over the SoC, camera, and battery.

Part of the laughable infeasibility of mmWave is that your hand easily blocks the signal, so while the Pixel 7 might have a clear line-of-sight in portrait mode, mmWave in landscape on the Pixel 7 would require some awkward hand positioning. On the Pixel 7 Pro, the mmWave antenna cable is way longer and runs around the perimeter of the battery under the metal mid-frame. Other phones, like the Galaxy S22 Ultra, have a better shot of picking up a signal with [two mmWave antennas](https://youtu.be/aC30DHRWB1A?t=437) on either side of the device. The battery has pull tabs, but they still won't work without soaking the battery adhesive in alcohol first. Even if you're pro-mmWave (I guess that would make you the CEO of Verizon?), the Pixel 7 Pro has only one antenna on top of the phone. Just as it looks on the outside, the Pixel 7 Pro is pretty close to the Pixel 6 Pro, but you can spot some refinements.
