Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro might keep the same screens as the phones they’re replacing

Google has already officially unveiled the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, without really telling us much about them. Now new information from the rumor manufactory suggests that the displays on these phones volition exactly match the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro handsets.

This comes from Android lawmaking discovered past 9to5Google
(opens in new tab), which points to the 2022 flagship handsets using the same Samsung display panels as the phones that arrived in 2021 – although in that location might exist some very modest tweaks in store.

For the Pixel 7, that means a 1080 x 2400 pixel screen with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz, and for the Pixel 7 Pro information technology would exist a 1440 x 3120 pixel screen with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. Those aren’t bad specs, but they’d be unchanged from the previous Pixels.

Possible tweaks

As for the reported tweaks, the Pixel 7 display might exist a few millimeters smaller despite using the same panel, while the Pixel 7 Pro could come with the selection of a 1080p way for conserving power, possibly in a depression battery mode.

All of this is unconfirmed at the moment though, and based on references to display drivers in the core Android code. It’south possible that the code could be misinterpreted or that Google is going to make changes betwixt at present and the launch of the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro handsets – which should be effectually October time.

What nosotros know for sure is the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel seven Pro design, because we’ve seen official pictures. Google has as well confirmed that at that place will be a next-gen Tensor chipset within the new devices, hopefully leading to a substantial speed boost.

Analysis: the Pixel 6 formula is a good one

It’due south always disappointing when a new phone sticks with the same specs every bit its predecessor, simply we are big fans of the Google Pixel half dozen and the Pixel 6 Pro – and the example can be argued that the screens on these phones don’t need much of an upgrade anyway.

The 6.four-inch panel on the Pixel 6 and the half-dozen.71-inch panel on the Pixel six Pro are big and bright and sharp, and we wouldn’t be too worried near picking upwardly a Pixel 7 or a Pixel 7 Pro with the same screens fastened on the forepart.

What users will perhaps be more interested in is performance, camera quality and bombardment life, and there’s potential for the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro to amend in all of these areas. We know that the new phones will have a new Tensor chipset, which will exist crucial to its overall appeal.

In terms of release engagement, all Google has said is that the phones will be out afterwards in the year, but we’re expecting them to show upwardly around Oct time. Until then, nosotros tin await plenty more leaks and rumors letting us know what to expect.
