Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7: Specifications

The new flagships from Google are powered by the company’s in-house second-generation Tensor G2 SoC. This is a new 4nm chipset with 2 Cortex-X1 cores, two Cortex-A76 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores. The expectation is that this chipset will offer not only better performance compared to Google’s first-gen Tensor chip, but will offer improved power efficiency.

Unlock the device and you get Android 13 laid on top of the Tensor G2 SoC, up to 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a 4355mAh battery (with 30W charging support and 21W wireless charging support). 

In terms of optics, you are getting a 50MP primary camera coupled with 12MP ultrawide snapper on the back of the Pixel 7. The front has a 10.8MP selfie shooter. The videography is limited to 4K30 on the front while you get to have 4K60 at the back.
