Google Pixel 7 Pro India launch confirmed; design, colour options now teased in an official video

The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were released globally last year, and the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are their successors. The release date for Google's forthcoming smartphones, which is set for October 6, has already been made public. The Google-first Pixel Watch is also anticipated to go on sale. At its Google I/O 2022 event, the search engine giant gave us a preview of these next gadgets. Now, the company has unveiled a new design film featuring the Pixel 7 Pro smartphone.

The new Pixel Watch and the Pixel Buds Pro were featured in a shorter video that Google had recently released, but it either masked out certain details of the phones or zoomed in, making it into a teaser. In essence, the new video helps us better understand how Google's future Pixel 7 Pro will appear when it is released. It demonstrates the rear camera module's chiselled overhaul, which has replaced the Pixel 6 Pro's metal and glass construction with what now appears to be a metal construction. The design displays the new colour selections and seems pretty elegant and seamless.

The Pixel 7 will come in Obsidian, Lemongrass, and Snow finishes, while the Pixel 7 Pro will come in Obsidian, Hazel, and Snow finishes, according to the official Google Store website. In contrast to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which both have glossy glass rear panels, the Pixel 7 looks to have a matte-finished camera module and frame. According to the video, the camera module and frame of the Pixel 7 Pro have a chrome-like reflective surface.

Since Google I/O 2022, when we first saw the new Pixel devices, the company has been coy about disclosing hardware-related details. According to official information, it will have a Tensor G2 SoC, an update from the Tensor SoC seen in the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a. The modifications between the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series, according to further information that was just leaked, could not be that significant.

While the Pixel 7 Pro is rumoured to have a 6.7-inch QHD+ OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, the Pixel 7 is expected to have a 6.3-inch full-HD+ 90Hz refresh rate display. According to a new leak, the Pixel 7 Pro will reportedly come in a 12GB RAM version. Both smartphones are reportedly offered 128GB and 256GB of storage space.

The Pixel 7 is rumoured to have three rear cameras, including an additional 48-megapixel telephoto camera, while the Pixel 7 Pro is supposed to have three back cameras with a 50-megapixel primary camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. The selfie cameras on both smartphones are anticipated to have 11-megapixel sensors.

Since the release of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, Google has shunned the Indian market for its high-end smartphones. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL were the most recent high-end Pixel smartphones to arrive in India. Since that time, Google has only released its entry-level smartphones in the nation, including the Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4a, and most recently, the Pixel 6a.

While Samsung and Apple currently dominate the high-end luxury smartphone market, Google has announced that its Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones will formally launch in India this year. Google has not yet announced a launch date or sale date for the phones in India.
