Google’s latest mobile phones have landed, with the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro coming in at a starting price of $999 and $1,299 respectively.  

Packed with features like more RAM, wireless charging, and improved in-screen fingerprint unlock – all powered by the Google Tensor G2 chip – the Google Pixel 7 range gives Apple’s latest iPhone 14 range a run for its money.

Apart from the display size, there are a few other hardware specs that differ between the Pixel 7 and its Pro counterpart. 

Let’s take a brief look at some of the main differences:
