Last Updated on October 19, 2022 by Anu Joy

Google had recently unveiled the Pixel 7 series of smartphones in all major markets, including India. The series was concluded with the release of two smartphones—the Google Pixel 7 and the Google Pixel 7 Pro. However, there are reports suggesting that a new Pixel 7 series smartphone, dubbed the Google Pixel 7 Ultra might arrive soon. A few key specifications of the rumoured “Ultra” model of the Pixel 7 series have emerged online. Let us take a look at the details.

Google Pixel 7 Ultra Rumoured Specifications

According to developer Kuba Wojciechowski, the Google Pixel 7 Ultra will come equipped with Qualcomm’s Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth chip WCN6740, which is said to deliver an improved connectivity performance when compared to the existing models. Do note that the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series smartphones feature the Broadcom BCM4389 chip. A network test conducted by PCMag last year demonstrated that the Google Pixel 6 Pro fell short on 5G speeds when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S21, which uses Qualcomm’s X60 modem.

Furthermore, the tipster claims that the Pixel Ultra will feature Sony’s IMX712 sensor, which is under one inch in size. Based on the leaked specifications, the device is expected to offer improved connectivity and camera performance. However, the same report suggests that the display of the upcoming Google Pixel smartphone might see a downgrade in resolution.

Wojciechowski claims that the Pixel Ultra will get a lower resolution panel with a chip capped at around 1080p with a refresh rate of 120Hz. This is a downgrade from the higher resolution screens found on Pixel Pro models. As for the launch, Google has not yet released an official statement regarding the Google Pixel 7 Ultra release.
