The Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro that the Mountain View company will announce in the fall may not arrive alone. The portal 9to5Google has discovered clues another mysterious new high-end Pixel apparently equipped with a Tensor SoC and with a panel of characteristics very similar to the two mentioned models. They suggest, therefore, that the company could launch a third model of its new family of smartphones; probably a vitaminized version of the Pixel 7 Pro variant.
The unknown version has been listed in the Android Open Source Project code with a code name that does not match any of the smartphones that Google will announce soon. According to the aforementioned portal, the Google Pixel 6a and the possible folding, have the name ‘Felix’ and ‘Lynx’. The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, on the other hand, are called ‘Panther’ and ‘Cheetah’ respectively. These last two mobiles are also associated with a code: P10 and C10. The mysterious model does not have a code name, but it does includes an associated code similar to the Pixel 7: G10.
The cited portal also rules out that this smartphone with model number ‘G10’ is a future Google Pixel 7a. And it is that the specifications of your screen (discovered in the code) are much more similar to that of the high-end models. Specifically, to that of the Google Pixel 6 Pro, given that they reflect a resolution of 1440 × 3120 pixelsa refresh rate 120Hz and a 71 x 155mm physical size. The dimensions also eliminate the possibility that it is the tablet that Google will launch soon. The code discovered by 9to5Google It also makes mention of Exynos, which makes Google’s Tensor chip, so it’s likely to include this processor as well.
Will we see a Google Pixel 7 Pro+?
Unfortunately, except for the model number and the few data related to its screen or processor, we do not know any more details about this mysterious version. It would not be strange, yes, if Google presented this device as a Pixel 7 Pro+. That is to say, an even more vitaminized model than the Pixel 7 Pro with some key specifications that are a little more powerful.
Manufacturers such as Huawei, Honor or even Samsung or Xiaomi (they use the Ultra nomenclature, instead of Plus), have premium range variants that are much more powerful than their high-end models. These differ mainly in the photographic section, adding more sensors or more advanced functions. Google, therefore, could compete against these models with a Pixel 7 Pero Plus in which it stands out for its photographic section. For example, by including a longer range telephoto sensor. We will leave doubts in the coming months.
