Really, it wasn’t that big of a secret. Teased back in May during Google I/O 2022, we saw our first glimpse at Google’s upcoming flagship smartphones — the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Sure, it was only a teaser image, but it definitely flaunted the design language we’ve come to know with the Pixel line.
Well, the wait is finally over because the pair were formally introduced at the Made by Google fall event. We’re actually most excited by the design facelift, particularly with how the glass strip over the cameras in last year’s Pixel phones have been replaced by a metal bar. That eases our concerns because it’s much strong, more resilient to breaking when compared to glass. We’re glad to see Google has listened because we even vouched for the importance of getting a camera cover case for the Pixel 6 Pro.
