A prototype of the Pixel 7 Pro has been analyzed for new details about its hardware, as well as apparently confirming some previously reported specifications.
In the past few months, a small handful of Prototypes before release From Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro I managed to get out into the wild. Google has grabbed and remotely wiped most of the leaked units, rendering them unusable (disabled) and preventing the full spec sheet of either phone from being discovered before their official launch later this year.
One of the owners of such a prototype contacted the owners of the Google News group on Telegram. The group then used the limited amount of information available to them — specifically the logs that are generated when trying to boot the phone, as well as the code for the bootloader itself — to research some additional specs about the Pixel 7 Pro.
For starters, we may now have our first details about the CPU cores used by the Pixel 7’s GS201 chip. According to the post, the second-generation Tensor chip should continue to use the “4 + 2 + 2” design, as described in the first Tensor. . In this design, there are four low-performance cores for simple tasks, two mid-level cores, and two high-powered CPU cores. Dealing with the stress of work.
No details regarding the Tensor 2’s mid- and high-level cores have been revealed, but the Pixel 7 series chip will allegedly use the same Cortex A55 cores for low-level tasks. The group cites a line in the boot records indicating that a workaround that is used only for chips with Cortex A55 cores is being implemented.
Other newly revealed details include that the Pixel 7 Pro should come with Cirrus Logic CS40L26 Touch chip, one generation newer than What’s in the Pixel 6 Pro. Meanwhile, where last year’s phone had STMicroelectronics ST54K NFC hardware that also included UWB connectivity, the records point to simpler hardware, ST21NFC, which does not contain UWB. UWB is likely to be handled by a different component.
The latest round of research into the Pixel 7 Pro prototype was also able to confirm our findings on the codenames for Google Pixel devices in development including Ravenclaw And the Felixalthough there is no sign of the “Lynx” codename.
Finally, the group claims that the Pixel 7 Pro prototype specs show the Samsung S6E3HC4 display panel, the latest generation of display in the Pixel 6 Pro. Our previous report about The displays used in the Pixel 7 series Show that Google is either preparing to use this newer screen or continue using the same screen from last year.
No matter what show of Pixel 7 Pro models end up in retail this fall, at least one upgrade will be in place. As spotted by Dylan Raga (via Mishaal Rahman), code For two potential Pixel 7 Pro displays, it includes a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits in high brightness, versus 800 in last year’s phone.
Overall, while these specs might be a lot of fun for enthusiasts, they don’t tell us much about how the Pixel 7 Pro will perform in the real world. In addition, since the device being analyzed is still a technical model, no matter how long it may be, there is a possibility that some of these minute details will be changed before launch.
