Google shared a post on Twitter revealing the pre-order date. The poster in the tweet also revealed the colour options for the phones in India. The Pixel 7 Pro will come in Obsidian, Snow, and Hazel while the Pixel 7 will come in the lemongrass variant instead of the hazel. 

There are pricing rumours doing the rounds ahead of the October 6 launch. A leaked Amazon listing revealed that the standard Google Pixel 7 could be priced at $599 (roughly ₹50,000), while the Pixel 7 Pro could come with a $899 (roughly ₹75,000) price tag. 

Google Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro Specifications And Features (Expected)

So far, Google has confirmed that the Pixel 7 series will feature the next-generation Google Tensor G2 SoC, which is a slightly tweaked version of the old one. Google claims that the chip will scale up the performance of the experiential features by a big margin. 

The design takes after its predecessor with some meaningful refinements over the rear visor which now has a more streamlined look. Other reports claim the Pixel 7 could feature a 6.3-inch Full HD+ OLED display with 90 Hz refresh rate, while the Pixel 7 Pro could come with a 6.7-inch QHD+ OLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate. Google could offer up to 12GB RAM in these with 256GB storage, along with the Titan M security chip.
