  • Pixel 7 Professional: 163 x 76.6 x 8.7mm

Primarily based on some leaked renders, the Google Pixel 7 and seven Professional appear to be they might comply with the same design to their predecessors, however make a few small alterations. The digital camera housing that spans the rear of each units appears like it's right here to remain for 2022, although the renders recommend it should wrap into the body for the Pixel 7 handsets - one thing the Samsung Galaxy S22 does.

It is mentioned the Google Pixel 7 will measure 155.6 x 73.1 x 8.7mm, with a digital camera bump of 11.44mm, whereas the Pixel 7 Professional is claimed to measure 163 x 76.6 x 8.7mm, with a digital camera bump of 11.2mm.

In response to the rumours, the Pixel 7 is reported to have a display screen measurement between 6.2-inches and 6.4-inches, whereas the Pixel 7 Professional is claimed to have a 6.7-inch or 6.8-inch display screen.

The Google Pixel 6 and 6 Professional each run on the Google Tensor chip, transferring away from Qualcomm processors. It has been rumoured that Google is engaged on a second technology of the Tensor chip, which is codenamed Tensor 2.0 and it is claimed the Pixel 7 and seven Professional might run on it, which is smart.

It is claimed the Tensor 2.0 chip might function a Samsung Exynos Modem 5300 inside, although at present Samsung does not have a launched modem known as this.

Stories have advised the Pixel 7 might are available 128GB, 256GB and 512GB storage choices. None of those are anticipated to have microSD. The 512GB storage possibility could be new for the Pixel 7 because the Pixel 6 solely goes as much as 256GB, although these are simply rumours for now.

By way of RAM, we would anticipate to see not less than 8GB on the Pixel 7 and 12GB on the Pixel 7 Professional, as their predecessors.

Rumours recommend the usual Pixel 7 might provide a 5000mAh battery, which is what the Pixel 6 Professional at present gives. It is not an unreasonable suggestion by any stretch of the creativeness, but it surely's not confirmed but both.
