Design
The Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro had already reimagined the Pixel design. Both smartphones featured a premium finish and a raised strip that protects the camera lenses. With Google Pixel 7, the design hasn’t changed apart from some subtle and minor improvements. Official pictures suggest that the camera module has a few changes, and the raised strip will bend around the smartphone’s frame.
Further, the Google Pixel 7 has a 155.6 x 73.2 x 8.7mm body. With these dimensions we can confirm, the smartphone is much thinner than the Google Pixel 6. This is a welcome change as one of the major downsides of the Google Pixel 6 was its size and thickness.

Display
The Google Pixel 6 sported a 6.4-inch AMOLED panel with HDR10+ support. Now, its successor features a slightly smaller 6.3 inch display while keeping the other features pretty similar. You get a similar 90Hz refresh rate AMOLED display, with HDR 10+ certification.
Further, the Google Pixel 7 has a peak brightness of 1400 nits. Moreover, it has a pixel density of 416 ppi. You also get Widewine L1 certification. The Pixel 7 sports a 1080 x 2400 resolution, and the panel’s peak refresh rate is 90Hz, with no LTPO variable refresh rate support.
Processor
Google had shifted to their proprietary Tensor chips with the Google Pixel 6 series. Earlier, Google had partnered with Qualcomm to produce Snapdragon chipsets for their smartphones. Since the Tensor chips have been a significant success, we see an upgraded Tensor G2 chipset in the Pixel 7. This new chipset will uses a 4nm fabrication, with Cortex A-55 and Cortex-X1 cores. However, the chipsets aren’t a major upgrade from the last generation Tensor G1, as the Cortex A-55 uses an Armv 8 architecture. For comparison, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processors use an Amrv9 architecture.
Moreover, Google’s main focus with an upgraded Tensor chip is on improving the GPU architecture and machine learning. Hence, the Pixel 7 comes with a Mali G710 GPU.
