Google Pixel 7: Launch date confirmed. See when is it

The wait for the next generation series of Pixel smartphones is finally over as Google has confirmed the official launch date. The Pixel 7 series of next-generation smartphones will be launched on October 6. Google confirmed the official launch via its MadeByGoogle Twitter handle.

What are the specs and features of the new Google Pixel 7?
The Pixel 7 series is the successor of the 6-series and will feature the Tensor G2 chipset. According to Google, the second-generation version of the Tensor G2 chipset will offer new personalised features for photos, videos, speech recognition and security. The processor will further unlock AI and machine learning apps for this phone. The same chipset is expected to come with other Pixel 7 series smartphones and Pixel foldable.


Regarding hardware, not much information is available now, but it would be better than Pixel 6 in many aspects. Google showcased a sneak peek of the phone at the I/O developer conference in May this year.

What is the expected price of the Google Pixel 7?
The company will perhaps keep a lid on the pricing of Pixel 7 till the launch date. However, if we take the pricing of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro into account, which costs USD 599 and USD 899, expect a slight increase in that amount. But it won’t be more than USD 999, which is much cheaper than other brands charging for their flagship smartphones. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S22 price starts at USD 799, which is USD 200 more than the Pixel 6.




The Google Pixel 7 launch announcement comes exactly a month after Apple launched the latest iPhone 14. Last year also, Google did the same by launching the Pixel 6 smartphones in October, nearly a month after Apple’s iPhone 13 launch.
