Pixel 7 Pro
The Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 7 show only modest updates compared with last year’s models, evident in both their exterior and their internal components. Google kept the overall silhouette for a familiar feel, adding only subtle touches to the camera housing on the Pro and sticking close to the Pixel 6 line’s design language.
Beyond the looks, the Pixel 7 Pro inherits a 6.7‑inch AMOLED display that peaks at 120 Hz with a QHD+ resolution (1440 x 3120). The display delivers sharp detail at up to 512 ppi and supports Always-On Display along with Gorilla Glass Victus protection. A circular notch at the top houses the front camera.
Performance is driven by the Tensor 2 chip, an octa‑core processor built on a 4‑nm process and capable of reaching up to 2.85 GHz. Google claims Tensor 2 delivers a notable boost in both speed and efficiency over the previous generation. Graphics duties are handled by the Mali‑G710 MC10, a GPU that has shown strong performance across devices in recent years. The Pixel 7 Pro ships with 12 GB of RAM and storage options of 128 GB or 256 GB, with no expansion slot for memory cards.
Camera quality has long been a hallmark of Google’s phones, and ongoing improvements to imaging algorithms are a priority each year. This generation introduces a triple‑camera setup: a 50 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultra‑wide sensor, and a 48 MP telephoto lens. The telephoto module gains optical zoom, extending to 5x, while Google’s Super Resolution Zoom technology promises to maintain image quality up to 10x zoom. The ultra‑wide camera increases its field of view to 125 degrees and gains autofocus, enabling close‑up macro shots when needed.
Pixel 7 Pro also brings in Photo Decode, a feature that uses neural networks and the Tensor 2 to reduce blur in motion shots. For video, Cinematic Blur adds a background blur effect to footage, a feature designed to give videos a more cinematic look. The front‑facing camera receives an upgrade to an 11‑MP autofocus module, with Google tying Face Unlock to Tensor 2 for faster, more reliable authentication compared with earlier Pixel models.
On the battery front, the Pixel 7 Pro sticks with a 5000 mAh capacity. It supports up to 30 W wired charging and 23 W wireless charging, similar to its predecessor. Availability began with pre‑orders in the United States and several other markets, with shipments starting mid‑October and prices starting around 899 USD.
Pixel 7
The Pixel 7 represents a streamlined variant of the Pro. It uses a 6.3‑inch OLED display with a FHD+ resolution (1800 x 2400), a pixel density of about 416 ppi, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Google preserves a design language parallel to the Pixel 7 Pro, maintaining consistency with the larger model while trimming some features for a lower price point.
The performance backbone remains the Tensor 2 processor, delivering a similar balance of power and efficiency. Memory configurations include 8 GB with either 128 GB or 256 GB of storage, mirroring the options found in the Pro but without room for higher memory tiers or expansion.
In photography, the Pixel 7 retains the essence of the flagship camera system but omits the telephoto lens, limiting optical zoom. A refreshed front camera supports Face Unlock and aligns with the new Tensor 2 capabilities for more reliable biometric authentication. The battery capacity is 4355 mAh, which sits below the Pro model and has historically been a point of discussion for autonomy in the Pixel line. Google notes that typical usage can extend across a full day, though critics have highlighted real‑world endurance varies with workloads. Fast charging remains at 30 W wired and 23 W wireless, consistent with the current generation’s standard.
The Pixel 7 launches with a price around 599 USD and a release date set for mid‑October in multiple markets. This model emphasizes accessible performance and a familiar camera system at a more approachable entry price.
Pixel Watch
Google’s first smartwatch, the Pixel Watch, sports a circular 1.6‑inch AMOLED display with a pixel density near 320 ppi and brightness up to 1000 nits. It supports Always-On Display, and the rounded screen edges are protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Third‑party accessories have started to appear, including protective cases designed to shield the watch’s edges from accidental bumps.
The design language nods to contemporary wearable aesthetics, with a compact, unisex silhouette and interchangeable silicone bands. Inside, the watch relies on Samsung’s Exynos 9110 dual‑core processor at up to 1.15 GHz and includes 2 GB of RAM for snappy operation.
Connectivity is robust, including Bluetooth 5.0, Wi‑Fi, NFC, an eSIM for 4G, and GPS. Health tracking is comprehensive, featuring optical heart rate monitoring, SpO2 sensing, and an electrocardiogram (ECG) function comparable to other leading wearables like the Apple Watch and Samsung’s lineup. The band material is 100% recycled metal, and the body is rated for water and dust protection up to 5 ATM. Navigation and basic controls are simplified with a single wheel‑style crown reminiscent of other premium watches.
The Pixel Watch supports a broad catalog of workouts and relaxation exercises, with Google estimating a typical day of usage on a 294 mAh battery. It runs Wear OS 3.5, allowing installation of third‑party apps via APKs. Availability began in October, with the base model priced around 349 USD and the cellular variant at about 399 USD, available in gold, silver, and black finishes.
Pixel Tablet
Among Made by Google’s latest introductions is the Pixel Tablet, a device positioned as a premium tablet with a premium build. The enclosure features an aluminum chassis with a tactile nano‑ceramic coating that mimics porcelain in feel. Google frames the tablet as a high‑end option for productivity and media consumption, pairing a refined design with premium materials.
Specifications reveal that the Pixel Tablet is built around the Tensor 2 processor, aligning its performance core with the new smartphone line. While the tablet’s full hardware details remain to be disclosed, its emphasis is clearly on delivering a seamless Android tablet experience with the power benefits of the latest processor family.
Overall, the Pixel ecosystem continues to blend top‑tier imaging, refined design, and thoughtful software enhancements. Each device builds on the last while preserving the core traits that define Google’s vision for mobile and wearable technology in everyday Canada and the United States markets.
