Pixel 7 & 7 Pro updates, bugs and issue trackers [Cont. updated]

On October 7, the “Made by Google” event was held, where new hardware products were presented. During the conference we got to know something new Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

Both phones come with some improvements in both hardware and software compared to the Pixel 6 series. However, it’s the Pro model that sees the most changes and additions.

The design of the Pixel 7 line keeps the basics of the Pixel 6, only refining it to make it more attractive. On the front, the Pro model’s screen is now completely flat, with no curved edges.

Moving on to the back: Now the “camera strap” of the new phones is the same color as the body. This makes the camera sensors stand out more.

The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are powered by the new Google Tensor G2 chipset. The SoC offers improvements in performance and efficiency thanks to a new 4nm manufacturing process.

The new chipset is most notable for its hardware-level AI processing capabilities. This is the basis for some of the Pixel 7 series’ software improvements, particularly when it comes to the cameras.

The vanilla Pixel 7 retains the same camera sensors as the Pixel 6 (50MP main + 12MP ultra-wide), but now the wide-angle lens supports autofocus and macro mode.

On the other hand, the Pixel 7 Pro uses the same sensors and adds a 48MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom.

Some of the camera features include voice enhancement, 4K recording, 10-bit HDR video recording, “High Quality Mode” in some third-party apps (like Snapchat and TikTok), cinematic blur, Super Zoom, and more.

The vanilla Pixel 7’s battery capacity is slightly smaller than the Pixel 6’s (4,355mAh vs. 4,614mAh), but the more efficient chipset and slightly smaller screen should allow for similar battery life. Fast charging is now faster at 30W.

The Pro model keeps practically the same battery as its previous generation, but its autonomy could be better due to the more efficient chip. Fast charging is the same as the Pixel 7 (30W).

Both devices run Android 13 with the default user interface and some “pixel-exclusive” options. You get 3 years of major Android updates and 5 years of security updates.

And here we will be tracking all software updates including security patches and bug fixes for Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

The Google Pixel 6 series was riddled with bugs for months, showing more problems with each update.

While we hope this doesn’t happen again with the Pixel 7 series, from now on we’ll be following any bugs and issues that come up in both devices.
