Rumored Pixel 7 specs show little deviation from the Pixel 6

26 September 2022
The phone will use the new Tensor G2 chipset, of course, but not much else seems to have changed.

Sort by:

The pixel 7 will probably sell and do well, the pro is going to flop.... Again, for like what the 4 gen running (problems since pixel 3/3 XL). Tensor chip is years behind everyone else and if its still getting manufactured by Samsung then it'll be a hot running, power hungry, weak SoC. Hopefully modem is built in to the SoC this time too and not using the terrible one from the S20 series (got easily beaten by my old P40 pro, better speeds on the same mobile network/WiFi and more consistent too).

The cameras on the 6 pro were and are not that impressive so the 6 just wasn't flagship level, completely overblown by people and reviwers(again the 6 pro was on par with my P40 pro which is almost 2 years older than it), the ultrawide was bad on the 6 pro too with constant bugs and colour problems and the selfies were noisy (also on hardware inspecting apps it said my 6 pro had an 8mp selfie like the 6, not 11mp, maybe it saves in 8mp I dunno).

Pixel 6 had worse everything than the 6 pro except SoC so this year it needs 120hz not 90, it needs atleast the 6 pros cameras not 5 year old sensors thay rely heavily on computational a.i. Processing, it needs a telephoto and far far far better charging (my 6 pro took 4 hours on a 66w charger, it was always below 50% battery), the visor needs a special coating or something to stop it chipping just by sitting on its back too (my 6 pro and a 6 and 6 pro I saw in store all had bad chipping on the visor).

The G2 SoC will fail with the titan security chip just like the g1, the g1 was not on par with a SD888, I have an Oppo Find X5 with the 888 and in everyday use its just better and quicker so maybe this year the G2 will be on par with an 888 (pixel is seriously cheating in benchmarks to say its on par with an 888, it was on par with the kirin 990, did real world usage vs my P40 pro and it was neck and neck so not even close to an 888).

    I've been using a Pixel 6 Pro for the last couple of weeks, and also have a Galaxy Z Flip4. The P6P isn't terrible, but i greatly prefer the Flip4 in every regard. Better build quality, better battery life (this was suprising to me), better performance, and the flipping action has a fair bit of utility.

    The only thing that the Pixel does better is the telephoto camera, which is really nice to have.

      Cheap out by choosing scamsung over tsmc.

        Potat0, 26 Sep 2022I hope this 7 series this year will not be doomed with bugs... moreThis. I think what I'm hoping for is just a phone that works without needing to watch videos 3-6 months later stating the the bugs found at launch are fixed. This was a big reason why I skipped the 6/6 Pro. Phone's gotta work first and foremost.

          Samsung A series are more worth for me. Their update support is greatly improved.

            I hope this 7 series this year will not be doomed with bugs and slow fingerprint sensor

                7 and 7 Pro (should be 7 XL instead) should be equal, just different sizes.
                6 and 6.8" ...

                  Always uses old hardware and I don't know when will this Samsung's gen 1 sensor lose the body of Pixel devices as like as they did with the Sony Exmor IMX362 the same from Pixel 2
                  till Pixel 6A. Love or hate Google I don't know?

                    Ok, 26 Sep 2022I really welcome the smaller size but the rest is not to e... moreWhat you expect exciting in a smaller device, some huge multiple sensors, periscope, large battery? Stop expecting flagship specs in smaller devices.

                      It means just Update UvR Pixel 6 lineup to Android 13.

                          Flagship doesn't feel like flagship anymore, the mid range is now very flooded with new technology at half the price of the flagship.

                            i like this new design. Every camera module has smaller rings around it
