Google announces the launch date for its iPhone 14 rivals.

 The debut date for Google's upcoming flagship phone series, the Pixel Watch, and the Buds Pro have all been confirmed. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro were already hinted at during Google I/O in May, but the official launch date has now been disclosed.

At 7 p.m. PKT on October 6, Google will reveal its future smartphones. Also confirmed by the dominant search engine is the name of the upcoming SoC that will power Pixel 7 handsets.

The Tensor G2 will be its official name, contrary to what most publications had predicted would happen. The G could stand for "Google" or simply be a shortened version of "gen 2," or possibly both.

The Google Pixel 7's design is also known to us thanks to the company's recent teasers. The camera visor style of previous Pixel phones is still present, but this time there are individual cutouts for each lens. Although the display bezels are a little bit smaller than before, the rest of the phone is largely unchanged.

Google has also disclosed the color possibilities for the Pixel 7 smartphones. The Pixel 7 will come in the colors Obsidian, Lemongrass, and Snow, while the Pixel 7 Pro will sport a Hazel shade rather than Lemongrass.

There isn't much information available regarding the Pixel 7's specifications save the second-generation Tensor chipset. The Pixel 7 Pro will reportedly come with an additional 48MP telephoto lens on top of the standard Pixel 7's 50MP main camera and 12MP ultrawide lens.

The Pixel 7 is anticipated to have the same size as the Pixel 6 at 6.3 inches (down from 6.4 inches), but the Pixel 7 Pro will be slightly smaller. The resolution and adaptive refresh rate are anticipated to remain the same, even if the phones utilise a new display panel.
