Google shows two smartphones as well as a pixel watch and tablet

Google is introducing its long-awaited Pixel 7 smartphone in two variants. There is also the first self-developed smartwatch and a pixel tablet.

The Internet giant presented its hardware event under the motto "Made by Google". The stream not only ended the wait for the new Pixel phone, but also brought the Pixel Watch, the search engine giant's first homegrown wearable. And then there was another surprise appearance: the Pixel Tablet.

Google Pixel Watch

At the beginning of the event, Google introduced the Pixel Watch. It has a round face, unlike the Apple Watch with its square screens.

It also features a new attachment mechanism with no visible tabs. Instead, the wristband attaches to the top and bottom of the wearable and locks in place by twisting.

The Pixel Watch offers numerous sports modes to collect training and health data. Google also speaks immodestly about the “most accurate heart rate measurement per second to date”.

In addition to around 40 training modes, there is GPS and sleep tracking. Sleep levels and phases are measured for this, and there is also an ECG app that can detect signs of atrial fibrillation.

The Google Pixel Watch comes as a Bluetooth/Wi-Fi or 4G LTE model at a price of 379 or 429 euros. Market launch is October 13th.

Then came the Google Pixel 7, made entirely out of recycled aluminum - the plastic backs of days gone by. It features a 6.3-inch display with 1080p resolution. That's 0.1 inches smaller than its predecessor, but it also has narrower bezels.

According to Google, the 90Hz display is 25 percent brighter than that of the Pixel 6.

In terms of hardware, the phone is equipped with Google's new Tensor G2 processor and 8 GB of RAM. The CPU ensures faster calculations - including the photo exposure. Google also promises 24 hours of battery life and 48 hours of use with the Extreme Battery Saver. It is charged with 30 watts – both with and without a cable.

The smartphone comes with a 50-megapixel camera with double zoom and pixel binning. The Pixel 7's selfie camera has been upgraded to a 10.8 sensor. Likewise the Pro version. The Pixel 7 is available to pre-order now for $649 and will ship on October 13th.

Google Pixel 7 Pro

Like the Pixel 7, the Pixel 7 Pro also has the 50-megapixel main camera with the additional 2x digital zoom. The telephoto lens has been upgraded to 5x optical zoom and the 48-megapixel sensor can digitally zoom up to 10x.

In addition, you can combine the digital zoom functions of both cameras and thus achieve a telephoto zoom of up to 30x. In addition, the ultrawide camera offers an even larger field of view of 125 degrees, as well as autofocus and macro mode.

Similar to the Pixel 7, the Pixel 7 Pro has a 0.1-inch smaller display at 6.7-inches and a 3120 × 1440 pixel OLED panel with a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. The new Tensor G2 chip is also included and a slightly larger RAM of 12 GB.

As for the battery, the Pixel 7 Pro offers a capacity of 5000 mAh, which according to Google should provide a battery life of 24 hours. The Google Pixel 7 Pro can be pre-ordered for €899 and will ship on October 13th.

 

Google Pixel tablet

The Google Pixel tablet showed up during the recent Made by Google event. There's still no new information on the specs - other than that it's said to run on a Tensor G2 processor.

A magnetic speaker base has been installed so that the device can be used as a Nest Hub. Google has also revealed that the Pixel Tablet will come in two colors: off-white and olive green - but not until 2023.
