As with last year, there are two models of him, the smaller Vanilla Phone and the larger Pro, which serve the same role as the previous year before that. It seems like there could have been a plus model between the two, but that's not the case this year. Let's take a closer look at the phone we got.

Google Pixel 7 Pro

The Pixel 7 Pro is Google's best phone for the next 12 months or so, making it a true flagship. Brilliant displays with high refresh rates, large camera sensors, wide/ultra wide/telephoto combinations, distinctive looks, security features, and promises of long-term software support.

Specifications

However, the difference from last year's Pro isn't that big. All run on the new Tensor G2 chipset and improved telephoto camera. Let's start with the chipset.

This is known as Samsung's 4nm process, which is less popular but an improvement over the 5nm node used in the original chip. The CPUs are the same, 2x Cortex-X1 + 2x A76 and 4x A55, but with slightly higher clock speeds. More interesting is the GPU that is the Mali-G710 MC10, in graphics it not only performs and is more efficient than the G78 but also in machine learning tasks it is 35% better. There are also new Tensor Cores and new modems to boot.

The next generation of his Tensor processing engine can perform machine learning tasks 60x faster and 20% more efficiently. Responsible for features such as Photo Unblur, exclusive to Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Use Google's advanced AI to remove blur and noise from old photos taken with your old phone many years ago. Of course, it also works to beef up the Pixel 7's own camera. More on this later.

Like last year, the phone comes with 12GB of RAM, with storage options of 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. Of course, there's no microSD slot, just a nano-SIM slot and an eSIM for two lines.

Camera

Now let's look at the camera. The main module continues to use a 50 MP 1/1.31 inch (1.2 µm) sensor with the option of 4-in-1 binning. The f/1.85 lens has a field of view of 82°. If you want to capture more of the scene, there is a 12MP (1.25µm) ultra-wide camera with 125.8° FoV. The hardware upgrade this year is with the ultra-wide-angle lens that has autofocus and can be used for macro photography.

The main camera has optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization and can record 4K video at 30fps and 60fps. Voice Enhancement feature can now be enabled in 4K/60fps mode as well. The phone can record 10-bit HDR video, and Google has partnered with the makers of apps like Snapchat and TikTok to enable higher quality video. The Camera app leverages the machine learning capabilities of the Tensor G2 chipset to create cinematic blurs and stabilize handheld shots.

Then there's the tele camera. It now has a long lens with 5x (previously 4x) optical magnification. The extra range comes at the expense of a slightly smaller sensor (0.7µm pixels instead of 0.8µm), but it still has a 48MP resolution so you can zoom in further digitally with special pixel magic.

Display

The Pixel 7 Pro's 6.71-inch AMOLED display allows it to stand above its vanilla siblings. Not only because of its size but also because of the QHD+ LTPO panel with a variable refresh rate from 10 to 120 Hz. The sides of the display aren't as curved as last year, but they're still protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. There is also a fast and secure in-display fingerprint reader. Or you can use Face Unlock which is more convenient.

Google Pixel 7

The Pixel 7 is significantly cheaper than the Pro model and is significantly smaller in size. Not as small as the cheaper Google Pixel6a, but not as big as the premium Pixel.

Specifications

Similar to its bigger brother the Pixel 7 uses the same Tensor G2 SoC with the same advancements over its predecessor. Google keeps RAM at 8 GB, and you can choose between 128 GB or 256 GB of storage.

Like its predecessors, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are guaranteed 3 major operating system updates (up to version 16) and 5 years of security patches.

Display

The display is still a flat AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, but with 25% higher peak brightness than the Google Pixel 6 display. However, this new panel only has a refresh rate of 90 Hz. I would have liked to have seen 120Hz without LTPO this year, but for what it's worth, this phone is cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S22 (which has 120 Hz) or Apple iPhone 14 (which has a 60Hz display).

The Pixel 7's slim build also means it has a smaller battery of 4,355mAh (up from 4,614mAh). However, more efficient hardware means Extreme Battery Saver mode can last 72 hours (up from 48 hours). Without them, I'm looking at about 31 hours in normal use.

Camera

Like the Pro, the Pixel 7 uses a 50-megapixel (1/1.31 inch, 1.2µm before binning) main camera. Add to that a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and that's it. For zooming in, the phone relies on a relatively high-resolution main sensor and Google's Super Res Zoom image processing (upgraded thanks to the extra processing power of the G2 chipset).

Let's talk selfie cameras. It has a higher resolution sensor, 10.8MP (up from last year's 8MP), and a wider field of view – 92.8° (up from 84°). However, the focal point of the lens is fixed. The same goes for the Pro, which shares the same camera module.

Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro Prices and Availability

In India, Google Pixel 7 starts from Rs 59999 for the 128 GB model, the 256 GB model is also available at a higher price. As for the flagship Pixel 7 Pro, the price in India starts from Rs 84999 again for the base model with 128 GB of storage. The phones are listed on Flipkart and are marked as coming soon. There are additional bank offers which can lower the effective price of the Pixel 7 to Rs 49999 and the Pixel 7 Pro to Rs 73749.

Led by Carl Pei, Nothing is a well-known smartphone brand for its unique design and features that stand out from crushing competition. While Nothing introduced the Glyph interface in its Number series devices, the smartphone brand offered a touch of modularity with its budget CMF series the previous year. However, the upcoming Nothing Phone 3a series doesn't match the hype and expectations of users, as leaked images of the 3a series have mostly received negative feedback on social media.

On 4 March, this leading smartphone brand is gearing up to launch its Nothing Phone 3a series, which will likely include Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro, heavily teasing the details and specs of this upcoming device online. However, the brand has yet to introduce the design of its upcoming Phone 3a series officially; a new leak and ample glimpses from tipster Arsène Lupin have provided insights on what to expect from this upcoming smartphone.

The Phone 3a Pro can be found placing a giant camera ring, not unlike that can be seen on the OnePlus 13 series and Vivo X200 series. Nothing's signature Glyph interface can be seen on both sides of a circular ring. Meanwhile, the entire back profile is covered with a transparent design that Nothing smartphones make so popular and unique in the market.

Netizens Upset With Nothing Phone 3a Pro's Design

Many fans of the Nothing phone are upset about its unattractive rear design. On Reddit, one of the users wrote, "The 3a camera module is just weird. The 3a Pro looks fine."

Another Reddit user wrote, "I like how they both look, but that camera module on the 3a Pro is hideous and triggers my trypophobia."

Nothing Phone 3a Pro Features

Recently leaked video suggests that the upcoming Nothing Phone 3a Pro gets a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED LTPS display with 120Hz refresh rate with Panda Glass protection. The smartphone is anticipated to have a peak brightness of 3,000 nits and can draw power from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Processor. It also said that the upcoming Nothing Phone can offer up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage options.

In the rear profile, the Phone 3a Pro gets a triple camera shooter with a 50-megapixel primary lens, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens, and a 50-megapixel 3x telephoto shooter. The upcoming smartphone is also rumored to boast a 50-megapixel selfie shooter. The Phone 3a is also expected to feature an iPhone 16 style action button that can handle some AI-related tasks and is said to run on Nothing OS 3.0 based on Android 15.
