renders

While Samsung has already released an improved Galaxy S-series family early in the year, firms like Google are almost certain to keep their supporters waiting for several more months.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the premium Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are both getting the same treatment ahead of its projected combined commercial release in October 2022, given that the mid-range Pixel 6a leaked in high-res factory CAD-based renderings all the way back in November 2021.

Given that October is still over seven months away and Google appears to have enough on its plate with all those pesky Pixels 6 issues that refuse to go away, the crude and sketchy Pixel 7 renderings released yesterday would have been tolerable for a little longer, making the wait a bit more bearable.

Serial leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer, however, was clearly not satisfied with only blowing the Pixel 7 Pro’s cover in excellent detail and crystal clear clarity, as he did the same today (in partnership with Carhp) for the incoming flagship’s smaller brother.

At first glance, this looks almost identical to the 7 Pro, with a perfectly flat display with fairly generous bezels (by 2022 high-end standards), a centred hole punch, and, perhaps most notably, a protruding back camera module that wraps around the handset’s chassis, presumably making it fit in a little better with its overall look.
