Oh boy, the Google Pixel 7 leaks are already flowing
In This Article
It’s likely theGoogle Pixel 7launch is at least six months away. Probably as many as eight. However, the leaks are a-flowing already.
The oft-reliable folks at9to5Googlesays they have uncovered some “concrete” details about the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Interesting.
That includes the codenames for the devices, the presence of theGoogle Tensor2 (GS201) processor and a new Samsung modem. For the record, those codenames are “Cheetah” and “Panther” and are said to be the working titles for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
After digging into theAndroid 13developer preview, the site has concluded there’ll be an as-yet-unannounced Exynos Modem 5300 accompanying the second-generation Tensor chip – the follow up to the Pixel 6 range’s GS101 processor.
The report also speaks of a third codename for an in-development Pixel phone. That’s “Ravenclaw”, and it might refer to a Pixel 6a phone, likely to arrive this summer before the Pixel 7 range arrives.
9to5Google reckons this codename is a mashup that gives us some hints about the nature of the Pixel 6a. If it was anyone else we’d pour scorn, but the site has a fantastic record in this regard.
It believes the Pixel 6a will take the body of thePixel 6 Pro(which was codenamed Raven), but it’ll also be the first A-Series phone to contain a Tensor Processor, making it a major improvement over the Snapdragon 765 within the most recentPixel 5a with 5G. The site says “the “claw” being a reference to the felines of the Pixel 7 generation,” and who’d bet against it?
