The Mountain View firm confirmed as soon as its event Google I/O 2022 the existence of the Pixel 7 range by showing its design and evoking a new generation of SoC Tensor.
As for the photo part, the details are not yet formalized but a developer has found references in Google’s code. Kuba Wojciechowski claims that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will both use the 50-megapixel Samsung Isocell GN1 module and the sensor Sony IMX381 of 12 megapixels used as ultra wide angle, the same configuration as the Pixel 7.
The difference is rather played on the selfie photo sensor which goes to 11 megapixels instead of 8 megapixels for the current Pixel 6. The Pixel 7 Pro will again add periscope zoom and this would now be a 48-megapixel Samsung GM1 module, instead of the Sony IMX586.
The Pixel 7 would therefore exclusively use photo sensors from Samsung, without knowing if this is a way to streamline the photo experience or an in-depth partnership with the Korean group.
But also Lynx, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold…
But that’s not all ! The same developer has found traces of Lynx, the mysterious premium mobile device that one might be tempted to call Pixel 7 Ultra.
This offers a GN1 main sensor of 50 megapixels and an IMX787 module of 64 megapixels, in addition to a 13 megapixel module for selfies. Nothing says yet that this model is anything other than a simple experimental platform for internal tests.
As for the Pixel Tabletalso mentioned by Google but which will not be released until 2023, two 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 modules have been spotted.
Finally, the developer even found information about the future Pixel Fold with folding display. The photo configuration would be based on a GN1 main sensor of 50 megapixels, a 12 megapixel Sony IMX 363 module and another 12 megapixel Sony IMX386 module, with an 8 megapixel sensor for selfies.
