• Rare Google Pixel 7 leak reminds us why this phone hasn't been leaked much

(*7*)The upcoming Google Pixel 7 isn't leaked as frequently as its oft-mocked Pro sibling, but it's starting to become very clear why.

(*7*)A rare little brother leak has surfaced, from regular phone leak Yogesh Brar (opens in a new tab), and if he hadn't had his morning coffee, he'd be forgiven for confusing the information provided by Brar with the list. of specifications for the Google Pixel 6.

(*7*)Reportedly, the Pixel 7 will have a 90Hz FHD+ OLED display, 50MP and 12MP rear cameras, 8GB RAM, 128GB or 256GB storage, and 30W charging. These are all the specifications that the device has in common with its predecessor.

(*7*)There are some differences, but it's not clear if these are real things that might be different in the next phone, or just slight discrepancies. For example, Brar says the phone has a 6,3-inch screen (0,1-inch smaller than last year) and a 4700mAh battery (86mAh more than last year); however, these small differences could be both rounding errors and actual changes.

(*7*)There's an actual update here, but it's something we already knew: The Google Pixel 7 will get the Google Tensor G2 chipset, which is the second-generation version of the original Tensor that debuted in the Pixel 6. Google has already confirmed that The Tensor's successor will appear on the Pixel 7, so no news here.

Analysis: why there are not many leaks

(*7*)With such a familiar spec list, it's hard to get excited about the Google Pixel 7. There are no flashy changes, not even a curious downgrade that might signal a shift in focus.

(*7*)Of course, there will likely be some software tweaks to focus on when the Pixel 7 family launches, hoping to include new camera modes in the spirit of Magic Eraser and integration with all the new Android features 13.

(*7*)But still, the Pixel 7 probably won't feel much different to use compared to the Pixel 6, and the biggest indicator of that is the huge lack of leaks on the next phone (aside from this new one, obviously). ).

(*7*)Leakers are techies, and usually when we see some leaks about an upcoming product (especially a high-profile product), it means the leakers aren't excited, maybe they're not. There will not be many changes compared to the previous generation. , for instance.

(*7*)Overall, it's an intriguing way to gauge how much each particular generation of Samsung Galaxy mobile devices has reinvented itself compared to the last: older and more frequent leaks suggest that Samsung is up to something big. But the same principle applies to all brands.

(*7*)The relative lack of Google Pixel 7 suggests that this phone is pretty boring, nothing new compared to last year. That's a shame, because at best it means the device might not make our best smartphones list, and at worst it means Google hasn't learned from its Pixel 6 reinvention, where a phone new and flashy made people care about the Pixel line. after a few silly years.
