On March 25, the news showed that industry analyst Jon Prosser broke the news that Google will launch the Pixel 7 series flagship in October this year, and the Google Pixel Watch smart watch will also be unveiled. The new machine will be equipped with Google's new generation tensor self-developed chip and pre-installed Android 13 system.
It is understood that Google's second-generation Tensor self-developed chip will integrate Samsung Exynos 5300 5G baseband chip, based on Samsung's 4nm process. It is still an eight-core design, 2+2+4 triple-cluster architecture, and the chip will also integrate more powerful NPU chips to further strengthen AI computing capabilities.
From the renderings exposed on the Internet, it was found that the Pixel 7 continued the three-stage layout design of the Pixel 6, and the back horizontal bar continued to remain, but the style of the camera module changed, but the specifications were still 50 million pixel main camera + 12 million pixel ultra-wide angle dual camera, and the Pro model would add a 48 million pixel telephoto lens. The overall appearance has not changed much, mainly in chip and system upgrades.
The Pixel 6 is equipped with Google's first self-developed Tensor chip, and everyone's expectations for it are very high. However, after the product was launched, it was found that its performance was far less than expected, and it could not be compared with Qualcomm's flagship chip, and the gap with Apple was even more distant. The poor performance of the first chip is understandable, and I hope that the second generation Tensor can bring some surprises. However, it still uses Samsung baseband and Samsung process, and the performance is not dare to think more, only to solve the problem of poor signal.
As google's pro-son, the Pixel series can use the latest Android system for the first time. The Pixel 7 should be the first flagship phone to run Android 13, which is still more attractive. According to the information currently released, Android 13 will give users greater freedom in the UI interface and icons, while further strengthening the privacy protection function, and may be able to compete with iOS in terms of security.
Android 13 will add photo selectors, nearby device permissions for WiFi and other functions to protect users' pictures, videos, and locations from being leaked. At the same time, the system also optimizes the underlying power management mechanism, which reminds resident background applications and abnormal power consumption applications in time to help you close rogue software for longer lasting battery life.
For most users, the expectations for Android 13 are higher than the Pixel 7, and the official version should be launched around July, hoping that domestic manufacturers can follow up as soon as possible.
