Google has announced the reveal date for its next generation smartphones — the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro. The flagship phones will be launched on October 6, just a under month after the launch of the latest iPhones.
This announcement follows leaks, speculations, leaked product videos and more.
Given that Google showed off the Pixel 7 back at its developers conference, I/O, back in May, we will now see the phone in all its glory — the redesigned camera housing, new colours, and exact specifications including a second generation Tensor SoC (system-on-a-chip).
In all likelihood, these phones will run Android 13 straight out of the box, as their predecessors (the still-excellent Pixel 6, 6 Pro and 6a).

It's not just the smartphones. Google, while tweeting the announcement, also hinted at the Pixel Watch, something that was widely anticipated.
This puts the Google 6a in a weird spot. Should be considered previous generation dsue ti its "6" name, or should it considered a cousin of the current generation as it launched just over a month ago.
As I note in my review, the Pixel 6a, is a good device. Despite its middling specs, it delivers a top-notch experience — the odd hiccup aside — for a device of its size. Most of the technological under-the-hood wizardry is thanks to Google's flagship processor, the Tensor, which powers all the 6 series devices. Because of the tensor, despite only 6 GB of RAM, the Pixel 6a performs like a champ.
Expect more of the same — or even better — when the Pixel 7 series are the new kids of the block.
