Google Pixel 7 release date, price and features

Google's Pixel 7 series come in two models, a vanilla Pixel 7 and a souped up Pixel 7 Pro, and both of them are flagship models with tempting prices that give the iPhones and Galaxies of this world a run for their money.

The Pixel 7 series were first teased by Google in May 2022, but officially and fully unveiled on October 6th, 2022, with the release date on October 13th.

Google mostly sticks with the Pixel 6 formula from last year: two models, a slightly more compact $600 Pixel 7 and a larger Pixel 7 Pro with a bigger screen, bigger battery and a dedicated zoom camera for $900.

The Pixel 7 family was officially and fully unveiled on October 6th, 2022 at a dedicated event for the new phones and a new Pixel Watch. Google held this event a bit earlier than previous years, and it also pushed the release date of the Pixel 7 series a week or two earlier compared to previous generations.

Pixel 7 series actual release date is set for October 13th.

For reference, we have the table below that shows the release date times for the previous Pixel series, as well as the expected dates for the next generation of Pixels:

Despite inflationary headwinds, Google keeps the same tempting prices for the Pixel 7 series, and they look even better as the competition has raised prices in many markets across the globe. The vanilla Pixel 7 at $600 looks like a particularly good deal compared to $800 phones in the same bracket by Apple and Google, but the Pixel 7 Pro version at $900 also undercuts the $1,100 iPhone 14 Pro Max and the $1,200 Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Below are the full prices for the Pixel 7 series: 

The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro keep mostly the same camera hardware as the previous models with a 50MP main sensor coupled with an ultra-wide shooter for the Pixel 7 version, while the Pro model has an additional, third telephoto zoom camera. Check our dedicated Pixel 7 camera article for the full scoop. 

Here’s a break-down of the Pixel 7 camera specs:
The one more notable change is the switch from a 4X zoom lens to a 5X one on the Pixel 7 Pro, which gives users more range and more clarity when shooting far-away objects. Also, not reflected in this camera sheet is a new 2X optical-grade zoom that is possible thanks to a crop from the main sensor. This is great news for portrait mode photos, which were the big camera sore in previous Pixel generations. The front camera is also finally getting 4K video support, a feature that was strangely missing on earlier models.

Google sells a few official cases for the Pixel 7 family, and good news is that those cases seem to be improved compared to the previous generation where cases would yellow and age very quickly.

Of course, there are various third-party cases for the Pixel 7 family, and to guide you in this vast universe of Pixel cases we have an article summarizing our favorite case options.

Check it out below:

Both Pixel 7 models are offered at lower prices than the competition, which in itself is a great deal, but you can save even more with trade-ins and other very tempting deals that we have summarized in our dedicated Pixel 7 deals article. We are constantly updating that too, so you know you are getting the most up-to-date and best deals possible.
