After teasing the device in May, Google has officially unveiled the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The pre-orders for both are already up, with shipping next week. Google focused on improving the camera and its updated Tensor G2 processor for the new series. The new chip handles everything from advanced image processing, expanded security (thanks to the Titan M2), system cache, and machine learning. Google says the G2 improves most of the phone's features. The new Pixels will also get built-in VPN via Google One later this year.

These Android 13-powered devices get a 2x crop-mode zoom to their 50-megapixel primary sensor, which produces 12.5-megapixel photos from the center of the sensor; faster Night Sight low-light shooting; better skin tones; and Guided Frame, an audible help for vision-impaired users who want to take selfies. Google also introduces a still-photo Unblur algorithm that can now sharpen old photos and a new Cinematic Blur that mimics Apple's Cinema Mode. 

The Pixel 7 only gets a dual-rear camera, adding a 12-megapixel ultrawide to the main shooter. In front, it has a 10.8-megapixel selfie. Meanwhile, the Pixel 7 Pro gets an additional 48-megapixel telephoto that can get a 12-megapixel, 10x crop-mode zoom out. The Pro also gets a macro mode with this third camera.

This telephoto camera computationally zooms using the main and telephoto cameras for the range between 2.5x and 5x. And Google promises sharp, stabilized 30x zoom photos.

There's a new light yellow option to replace the "kinda, sorta" colours of last year for the Pixel 7 and a light, muted green for the Pixel 7 Pro.

The Pixel 7 Pro runs on 12GB RAM, while the standard 7 runs on 8GB. Storage options for the Pro are at 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage, while the Pixel 7 only gets the 128GB and 256GB options. The Pixel 7 gets a starting price of $799, while the Pixel 7 Pro gets a starting price of $1,179.
