Google Pixel 7 Series Review: What’s New
Google's latest Pixel 7 series aims to compete the Apple's iPhone 14 series. But do the Pixel phones actually possess all of the attributes and capabilities of the next innovation? The phone will be on sale on October 13th, and Google has already revealed several of its features. Let's take a look at the key specs, pros, and cons of Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.
Key Features of Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
Unlike the Pixel 6, the first smartphone to have Google's custom-made Tensor processor and a reimagined design, the new Pixel 7 has a minor change.
The introduction of the Pixel 7 comes on the heels of the launch of the iPhone 14 in September. Much like the Pixel 7, the iPhone 14 offers only an imperceptible upgrade over its predecessor.

Design
The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro have some minor improvements over the versions from the previous year, but at first look, they seem to be substantially the same. Both phones have softly rounded corners, and the back-camera array resembles a visor.
This year's Pixel 7 Pro is a fraction of an inch shorter and slimmer than its predecessor, which is a nice adjustment for the humongous smartphone. The telephoto camera is now separated from the wide-angle camera and the ultra-wide-angle camera, giving the triple cameras on the back of the Pro a somewhat distinct appearance.
The color selections are also a little bit different this time around, with Obsidian, Snow, and Hazel being the choices available to you. That is almost equivalent to saying black, white, and a mossy green color.

The display size of the Pixel 7 has been reduced from 6.4 inches to 6.3 inches, which is a move that the vast majority of people will probably be pleased to see. The Pixel 7 measures 6.1 inches by 2.9 inches when it has been shrunk down. It is still a size advantage over the iPhone 14 or the Galaxy S22, but it should make the device easier to carry in pockets.
Display
The display on the Pixel 7 is an AMOLED panel measuring 6.3 inches and can reach up to 90 hertz in refresh rate. The only change from the previous year's specifications is a reduction from 6.4 inches to 6.3 inches, but other than that, everything else is the same, and given the price, it is still a competitive offering. One of the improvements is that the screen protector has been upgraded to Gorilla Glass Victus from Gorilla Glass 6, which was used before.
The Pixel 7 Pro maintains the same specifications as its predecessor from the previous year, including a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO display with a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate.

Both displays have always-on functionality, boast contrast ratios of over one million to one, are HDR compatible, and have 24-bit color depth.
Camera
The Pixel 7 cameras are very similar to those of the Pixel 6. It has a 50MP Octa PD Quad Bayer broad camera with a lens of f/1.85, and laser detects autofocus, mechanical and electrical image quality, and huge 1.2-micrometers pixels. This sensor features an 82-degree field of view, a 1/1.31-inch image sensor size, and a Super Res Zoom of up to 8x.
Pixel 7’s ultra-wide wide is 12 megapixels with an aperture of f/2.2, a field of vision of 114 degrees, and 1.25 micrometers for each Pixel. This sensor has a lens correction feature.

One thing has changed with the Pixel 7, and that is the front-facing camera. It now has 10.8 megapixels, a unique ultra-wide field of vision of 92.8 degrees, 1.22 μm pixel width, and ƒ/2.2 aperture. It has a fixed focus feature.
Both of those cameras are replicated in the Pixel 7 Pro, but in addition, there is a brand new 48-megapixel Quad Bayer PD telephoto lens with an aperture of f/3.5, 120mm (telephoto), 1/2.55", 0.7µm pixel width, and 5 times optical zoom. If you are wondering if that sounds a lot like last year's, then you would be right in thinking so, but even while the bulk of the specifications is the same, now there is a Samsung sensor, complementing the main wide camera, rather than the Sony sensor that was used last year.
Although none anticipates any significant performance changes due to the switch in telephoto, users assume that Google will be able to increase the computational photographic performance of both cameras by remaining with the same supplier.

Performance
With the Google 4nm Tensor G2 chip, Google has upgraded almost every significant component of the chip's subsystems in the 7 Series. Because of the intricate and complicated nature of the software and machine learning, the business has structured them to collaborate very well. Therefore, the smartphone will have an even higher level of intelligence, particularly its ability to comprehend human speech and language.
The world saw the Direct My Call feature within a Pixel phone last year. It cuts lose the frustration while calling a business and the need to memorize available options for necessary extension. Google has improved the functionality of the Direct My Call feature in Pixel 7. Users will now get a menu option even before they start speaking. With that, they can cancel a schedule or a file more swiftly.
Another upgradation will take place in the Assistant Voice Typing feature. Texting will get funnier with getting relevant suggestions for the messages. Users won’t even have to search for emojis manually anymore. They will appear following the user’s voice instructions. The Assistant Voice Typing feature will be available in Italian, French, and Spanish.

Safety and Security
Like always, securing one’s personal information is Pixel’s greatest goal. With Titan M2 security chip and Tensor G2, the Pixel phone will be more resistant to sophisticated assaults if you install Titan M2 on it. And in the second half of this year, both the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro will have a free VPN service provided by Google One. Your online activities will be safeguarded regardless of the app or web browser used.
Price of Google Pixel 7 Series
Currently, the Pixel series can be purchased in Pre-order. The Google Pixel 7 is available for $599 (BDT 60, 962; $1=BDT 101.77). On the other hand, it will cost about $899 (BDT 91,493; $1=BDT 101.77) for the Google Pixel 7 Pro. However, the official price of the Google 7 series in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues.
Conclusion
It has always been simple to answer the question of whether or not you should update the Pixel series of smartphones since each phone is unique and brand new. The Pixel 7 series is the first to get an update in the form of an incremental upgrade, comparable to what users have seen from Samsung and Apple over the years. That is in no way a negative aspect at all.

However, this also implies that if you already have the Pixel 6 or the Pixel 6 Pro, you do not need to update the most recent Pixels.
On the whole, Google Pixel 7/ 7 Pro phones can give you a more satisfying experience while using the camera, as well as a more powerful CPU. But except for that, pretty much everything is the same. Therefore, you do not need to make the switch just yet unless there is an excellent trade-in bargain available.
