Google already teased the upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro at the I / O developer conference earlier this month, showing us both backs and thus confirming that it is retaining the camera visor design.
If you’re interested in the other side of this fall’s Pixels, a new report is here today to provide, with purported details on their displays. Let’s break down the specs first and then we’ll tell you how they were discovered.
So, the Pixel 7 will have a panel with a resolution of 1080×2400 and a refresh rate of 90Hz, while the Pixel 7 Pro’s screen will have a resolution of 1440×3120 and a refresh rate of 120Hz. If you’re wondering why those numbers sound familiar, it’s because they’re identical to the ones the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro launched last year.
This information comes from the Android Open Source Project, where enterprising people are located 9to5Google found that Google has created two new video drivers, one with the tag C10 and the other P10. Pixel 7’s codename is Cheetah (hence “C”), while Pixel 7 Pro’s is Panther (hence “P”). Digging into the code also reveals that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will in fact have the same Samsung display panels as their predecessors, with model numbers S6E3FC3 and S6E3HC3 respectively.
However, Google has also worked to support an S6E3HC4, which could be a next-generation version of the Pixel 6 Pro’s panel that could end up in the Pixel 7 Pro. Since the resolution and refresh rate remain the same anyway, the only improvements may come in terms of quality, brightness, power consumption or any combination of these.
The Pixel 7 will be a bit smaller than the Pixel 6, and so the display panel has shrunk accordingly, being 1mm narrower and 2mm shorter. On the other hand, the dimensions of the Pixel 7 Pro are identical to those of the Pixel 6 Pro and the same goes for its screen.
Another interesting curiosity is that the Pixel 7 Pro’s display will have a native 1080p mode, which should improve battery saving in Power Saver mode. First, the similar design. Now, similar display specs. It looks like the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro may just be iterative updates over their predecessors and not much more. But there are still several months to their launch, so things could obviously change.
