The camera features of Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have leaked online, giving us our clearest look yet at what to expect from the successor to the Google Pixel 6 series. Tipster Yogesh Brar shared the details, suggesting both phones will carry over the same camera hardware as their predecessors — with possible sensor optimisations.
Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro Camera Features Detailed
According to the leak, the standard Google Pixel 7 will sport a dual rear camera setup comprising a 50MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. The Google Pixel 7 Pro, meanwhile, steps up to a triple rear camera system: 50MP primary, 12MP ultra-wide angle sensor, and a 48MP telephoto lens. Yogesh Brar notes that some optimisation may be applied to the sensors, so real-world performance could differ from the Pixel 6 lineup despite the matching megapixel counts.
These camera features of Google Pixel devices have historically been a major selling point, driven by Google's computational photography prowess rather than raw hardware alone. Even if the sensors themselves carry over, software improvements in image processing could meaningfully upgrade the experience.
Display, Processor, and Other Specifications
Earlier leaks painted a fuller picture of the two handsets:
| Specification | Google Pixel 7 | Google Pixel 7 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Display size | 6.3 inches | 6.7 inches |
| Refresh rate | 90 Hz | 120 Hz |
| Display type | Non-LTPO | LTPO |
| Processor | Google Tensor | Google Tensor |
| Rear cameras | 50MP + 12MP | 50MP + 12MP + 48MP |
| Front camera | Punch-hole cutout | Punch-hole cutout |
Both phones are powered by Google's own Tensor processor and feature a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. The Pro's LTPO panel allows its display to adjust refresh rates dynamically, which typically results in better battery efficiency compared to a fixed 120Hz screen.
Expected Launch Timeline and Google Pixel Watch
The Pixel 7 series is expected to launch in late September or early October 2022. A separate tipster has also claimed that Google could unveil its first smartwatch, the Google Pixel Watch, alongside the Pixel 7 series at an October event — making it a significant product showcase for the company.
