new ones arrived Google Pixel 7. They did this with their older brother, the Pixel 7 Pro. There are some sacrifices in this version that concern us – especially when it comes to photo sensors or the display – but we’re still faced with a promising bet.

Because although there has been no revolutionary change inside or outside, the evolution of these models indicates striking maturity. A improvement of what is already important — photography — and this further strengthens the use of artificial intelligence and the security and biometric options of these smartphones.

More AI and more security for our data

we are dealing with a device retains most of the design lines of its predecessor. Matte aluminum (100% recycled) on the sides and glass (“smooth glass”) at the rear are preserved.

The camera module continues to occupy that band at the top, unlike Google smartphones. Pixel 7 available in color snow, obsidian and lime green.

The 6.3-inch display – it was 6.4 on the Pixel 6 – is still OLED and Get 25% max brightness compared to its predecessor. It supports refresh rates up to 90 Hz – 120 Hz on the Pro model – and it’s flat, too. Under the screen we find the fingerprint reader.

Google is integrating the new Tensor G2, an all-Google-developed SoC that improves performance but seems to focus on two other parts: local processing (“everything happens on the phone”) and security.

inclusion Titan M2 security chip This is one of the points that Google wants to highlight on this device. This component allows us to significantly protect our data, including biometrics, and Google states that these mobiles offer free access to the Google One VPN service, which will be available at the end of the year.

The SoC is accompanied by 8GB of RAM and a storage capacity. Is it 128 or 256 GB?. To expand this capacity, there is no micro SD slot and no headphone jack.

Cameras that focus more and better (or blur in the case of video)

we have 50 Mpixel main camera and 12 Mpixel ultra wide angle. The company says the main sensor has the ability to use a 2x optical (up to 8x digital) equivalent zoom. All cameras, including the 10.8 megapixel front camera, can record 4K at 60 FPS, and this ultra-wide-angle front camera has also been improved.

The presence of these sensors is combined with new modes and features for cameras. Thus, the so-called ‘Photo blur’ sharpen out-of-focus images Thanks to the use of AI.

We also have a better night photography mode that provides an increase in stabilization and capture speed. We can apply it with Cinematic Blur real time video bokehand video recording supports 10-bit HDR.

Google did not specify the capacity of the battery, but they assure that its autonomy is within reach. 72 hours with extreme power saving modesomething that is certainly not very self-explanatory: we usually only use such energy-saving modes when there is little autonomy left.

Biometrics is another of the careful parts of this Pixel 7 (and Pixel 7 Pro). Here we will unlock both fingerprint when unlocking face recognitionSomething new to the Pixel and enabled thanks to the new front camera and new SoC.

Android 13 has more security and privacy options, which is part of Google’s new ‘Protected Security’ initiative announced at I/O 2022.

The operating system is Android 13 and Google five years of security updates. Among the innovations, Google highlights improved support for voice typing, for example, which automatically suggests emojis related to what you type.

Another remarkable feature of the system is copy voicemails To the Google messaging app—WhatsApp should copy this idea—if we can’t hear it in noisy environments, or if we just prefer to read.

If you don’t like voicemails, Pixels running Android 13 have the option to transcribe them so you can read them. Unfortunately only in the messaging app. Guys WhatsApp, can you copy this please?

Pixel 7/7 Pro has five years of security updates, and three years of Android updates. When it comes to these mobiles, that means they come with Android 13 and can access Android 14, 15 and 16.
