Google unveiled the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro at its Made By Google event, along with a number of new devices. The Pixel 7 series is powered by the new Tensor G2 SoC, manufactured using a 4nm process.
The Pixel 7 has a 50-megapixel dual rear camera, while the Pixel 7 Pro is equipped with a triple camera setup that also includes a 48-megapixel telephoto lens. Both phones are equipped with a 10.8-megapixel selfie camera and have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
One of the key highlights of the launch is the fact that Google announced a number of new camera features for the Pixel 7 series. Both Pixel 7 series devices now support the new ‘Cinematic Blur’ feature, which provides a dramatic blur effect when recording video, much like a cinematic Apple mode.
The higher-end Pixel 7 Pro will also feature a ‘Macro Focus’ feature that allows users to click photos of subjects up to 3cm away with HDR+ photo quality. But the best feature the photography department gets is Google Photos’ Photo Blur feature, which uses machine learning to improve old or blurry pictures.
