Google has just showcased its Fall 2023 event, Made By Google, with a host of new Pixel devices, including the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, the Google Pixel Watch and new Nest smart devices.
Google’s event comes after Apple reportedly nixed production increases of the iPhone 14 due to slowing demand, but according to Nikkei, Google expects positive sales for its niche Pixel 7 range, and have placed a comparatively large launch order of over eight million, by comparison the Pixel 6 family sold 6.2 million units in its first year of sales.
Pre-orders for both devices are now available starting today, before it hits store shelves from 13 October. Pixel 7 starts at $599 and Pixel 7 Pro starts at $899.
The completely redesigned Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro bring a faster, smarter, more secure and even more helpful user experience with the next-generation Google Tensor chip, Tensor G2 – custom built for Pixel with Google's advanced machine learning and speech recognition.
The new phones come with the best picture-taking experience on Pixel yet, with camera features such as Super Res Zoom, Macro Focus, Cinematic Blur and Photo Unblur for stunning photos and videos. As always, security remains our top priority with an added convenience of Face Unlock through advanced machine learning models for face recognition, and at least five years of security updates to make the new phones more secure over time.
In Singapore, online pre-orders for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro in 128GB and 256GB are available on the Google Store, Amazon SG, Courts Online, Challenger, and Shopee, and will be available online and in-stores from 13 October 2022.
