After many leaks and months of waiting, the Pixel 7 series was officially launched at the I/O conference. At a low price, the new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are some of the best phones on the market.

The new Pixels have a second- generation Tensor G2 chip, which is called the Tensor G2. There is a lot happening with the new version. Machine learning and speech recognition are the most important parts of the company. Next-gen Super Res zoom, faster Night Sight processing, Face Unblur, and new features like Cinematic Blur give your videos a movie-like quality with blurred background. The Titan M2 coprocessor is used for security.

There is a thick camera bar that stretches across the top portion of the rear panel when you look at the newPixel lineup. The models promise high quality. The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro both have a 50MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra wide camera with a 114 degree field of view. The Pixel 7 Pro has a third lens, a 48MP Quad BayerPD camera, which can be used to zoom up to 30x. It's limited to 8x zoom and the regular model has Super Res zoom attached to the main sensor.

An accurate representation of all skin tones is provided by Real Tone. This feature is expanded to Night Sight and Portrait mode, according to the company. The Guided Frame for the front camera is for people with low vision.

Both phones have an f/ 2.2 camera on the front. The cheaper variant of the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro only had an 8MP sensor while the more expensive one had an 11MP front camera. With the new sensor, users can finally take advantage of FaceUnlock, a feature that has been noticeably absent on the last two flagships.

The standard Pixel 7 has a 6.3-inch Full HD+OLED screen, which is 25% brighter than its predecessor thanks to its 1000 nits of brightness. The Pro model is capable of up to 120Hz refresh rate.

The new phones have glass backs and aluminum frames. There is a difference between the polished aluminum frame of the Pixel 7 Pro and the matt aluminum frame of the Pixel 7. The new models are made from recycled material. The phones have an IP68 rating, which makes them impervious to the elements. The screens on both phones are made of glass.

There is a 5,000mAh battery for the Pro model of the phone. The batteries on the two models are adaptive, meaning they can last over 24 hours if you learn your favorite apps and prioritize power. It's possible to charge your phone up to 50% in 30 minutes, but you'll have to buy a separate fast charging unit.

Major Android OS updates are only promised for three years, but the newPixels will get at least five years of security updates. The Pro model swaps out the third color scheme for the Hazel option, while the snow, obsidian, and Lemongrass option is for thePixel 7. Stores will have the phones available next week.
