Google Pixel 7 Ultra: price, possible release date, technical sheet, everything we know
Google would have in its boxes a new very high -end smartphone, a certain Pixel 7 Ultra. Nothing official to date, but several rumors have been going well for several months. We summarize you all that we know about it here.
Google would prepare an ultra pixel 7 but also a pixel 7 mini
The American giant Google has just officially presented its new smartphones Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro but it is also rumored that the firm would be working on two other phones. It would be a ultra pixel 7 with a 1 inch photo sensor and a mini pixel with reduced dimensions.
While the new Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones are barely available, several sources seem to converge on the fact that the American giant could soon expand this series with the arrival on the market of two other phones. The first of them would be a Pixel 7 Mini. Elements identified in the source code of the Pixel 7 series would refer to two future devices that carry Felix and lynx code names. The “Felix” is the code name of the Pixel Fold that we have already heard of, even recently. The “lynx” could be the code name of the pixel 7 mini or the pixel 7 ultra. However, several things look in favor of the first, the pixel 7 mini. Indeed, the code suggests that the “lynx” screen would be identical to that which is installed within the Pixel 6, Pixel 6A and Pixel 7. It would indeed be quite unlikely that the Pixel 7 Ultra, which would be the most successful version and therefore the best equipped receive a screen that is not better, at least at that of the Pixel 7 Pro. It is also possible that the “lynx” code name refers to a Pixel 7a which could be affordable and succeed the current Pixel 6a.
Pixel 7 Ultra with a 1 inch Sony photo sensor ?
Regarding the hypothetical pixel 7 ultra, it would seem that it is promised three photo sensors at the rear with a main objective of 50 megapixels, a samsung isocell GN1 which would be associated with another sensor of 64 megapixels this time that can serve as Telephoto for zooms. The last sensor would be a 13-megapixel Sony IMX712 which has not yet been announced being used both jointly with the main sensor, but also the one that allows you to take photos in ultra-angle mode. However, another source thinks that the Pixel 7 Ultra will not offer this configuration, but anything else by relying mainly on A 1 inch sensor, Like the Xiaomi 12s Ultra. In this case, it would be Sony the supplier of this sensor. There is no doubt that Google will allow a little time before speaking with this or these new devices just to ensure that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro take advantage of a maximum exposure. Until then, it is quite possible that things are specifying with regard to these hypothetics new google phones.
Google Pixel 7 Ultra: price, possible release date, technical sheet, everything we know
Google would have in its boxes a new very high -end smartphone, a certain Pixel 7 Ultra. Nothing official to date, but several rumors have been going well for several months. We summarize you all that we know about it here.
The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro were unveiled a few days ago. But a new version may well see the light of day. Rumors have been showing the release of a Google Pixel 7 Ultra for months, as a surprise to this range. Nothing is yet official at this stage, but we have compiled all the rumors about it here.
Google’s alleged high -end phone should enjoy better camera and benefit from best quality internal components. It could keep the same screen, but nothing is certain. We do not know if or when Google will reveal an ultra pixel 7, but here is all that we know.
Google Pixel 7 Ultra: Speculations on its release date and possible price
Rumors initially come from the Android Open Source project code where a third Pixel 7 model, alongside Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, is mentioned. Difficult, at this point, to say if it was a project killed in the egg or a surprise model, which will come out later.
The two biggest events in Google are made by Google in October and Google I/O, in May. IS/S are generally more focused on software, but Google will have announced many products, including Google Pixel 6a.
It will therefore perhaps be in May that Google will decide to arouse new interest in Pixel 7, after more than six months of sale, by introducing an ultra model. Alongside a Pixel 7A model on a low budget ?
Likewise, Google could always organize a completely separate event. After all, Google would plan to reveal a foldable phone Pixel Fold next year. The company has already confirmed the fact that its pixel tablet will be launched at a given time in 2023. Would Google plan another event to present its ultra pixel 7 ? Everything is possible.
Regarding the price, the pixel 7 pro is available from € 899. Pixel 7 Ultra could be offered more expensive, why not from € 1,099.
Google Pixel 7 Ultra: What design ?
We do not have the slightest idea of the appearance of Pixel 7 Ultra, except that it should share the key characteristics of the Pixel 7 family. It should thus enjoy a shot camera centered on the screen and a horizontal metal camera bar at the back to shelter its sensors.
A source says he will benefit from an FHD resolution, which would be ridiculous for a so-called high-end phone. Meanwhile, another source ensures that the screen could be in 1440p (QHD) like the Pixel 7 Pro and the Pixel 6 Pro before it, which seems more logical. It would have a 120 Hz display, with curved edges, and Face Unlock.
Google Pixel 7 Ultra: which camera ?
Google already offers solid photo performance with its Pixel 7 Pro, as our test had revealed. An ultra model would require an even better range of sensors to be taken seriously. Rumors so far suggest that Google will bring at least one change.
After all, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra offers a solid camera of 108 MP. In the same way, the next Galaxy S23 Ultra is planned with a 200 mp camera. Google could therefore line up.
A rumor (from the Leaker Ice Universe) claims that Google will replace the main camera of 50 Mp with a new 1 inch sensor, a huge sensor size for a smartphone that is only seen on devices like the Xiaomi 12s Ultra. Another rumor says that the new camera will rather be a Sony IMX712, an unprecedented, unknown size and resolution camera sensor.
Google Pixel 7 Ultra: What technical sheet ?
We expect Google to integrate its Tensor G2 chip to power the Pixel 7 Ultra. We could however imagine a G3 tensor chip or an improved version of the G2, perhaps with more RAM or CPU, GPU or NPU cores.
Whatever Google’s decision, improved performance would be essential for Pixel 7 Ultra, because the reference scores of the Pixel 7 Pro are not so high compared to other Android or iPhone phones or iPhone phones.
A larger battery would also be a good thing, because the battery life is one of the largest weaknesses in the Pixel 7 series. It would finally seem that he would take advantage of a new Wi-Fi chip with Bluetooth 5.3.

How the Pixel 7 Ultra could steal the show at Pixel 7 Pro
Google’s ultra smartphone is gradually revealing. An inch or not an inch ? Leaks are discordant on the subject. One thing is certain, it should set the bar higher than the Pixel 7 Pro.
While dust falls back on the pixel 7 and pixel 7 pro, launched alongside the Watch pixel, the light is gradually moving towards a new rumor, that of a possible Google Pixel Ultra, an even higher smartphone SO. Latest rumor, the developer Kuba Wojciechowski, who officiates on Twitter, published a thread concerning them.

According to him, this “third pixel”, code name lynx (L10), would integrate three rear sensors and a front sensor:
- A 50 megapixel samsung ISOCELL GN1 format 1/1.31;
- A Sony IMX787 of 64 megapixels of format 1/1.3;
- Two Sony IMX712 of 13 megapixels for the ultra-angle and the selfie module.
If we follow these allegations, the Pixel 7 Ultra would therefore keep the same main sensor, but would change its rifle for the telephoto and ultra-angle, going from 48 megapixels to 64 and 12 megapixels at 13. Not necessarily enough to overshadow the Pixel 7 Pro so.
But as sometimes happens, the leakers do not agree with each other. On October 17, 2022, the very influential Ice Universe published a tweet suggesting that the ultra pixel would incorporate an inch sensor. What to create a real upmarket compared to the Pixel 7 Pro so. We can imagine a much more effective night mode for example and a bitterly mastered dive.
During the summer, the leaker Chinese Digital Chat Station, no less efficient, was going in the direction of a main sensor of 50 megapixels without engaging on its size.
Let us add that according to Kuba Wojciechowski, the ultra pixel could integrate a Qualcomm modem in place of the Broadcom BCM 4389 used on the Pixel 6 and 7. In view of the many connectivity concerns identified by users on the Pixel 6, let’s hope it can improve the thing.
That would bring a sensor an inch
Let us already remember that if we are used to talking about a sensor an inch, they do not really make a size of a thumb. This is more an agreement in the industry. That said, this size of an inch that we see appearing on more and more phones allows, in theory, to gain in brightness. Indeed, the greater a sensor, the better it captures light. This is the main interest of a larger sensor.
The other interest of a larger sensor is in theory to increase the definition still a little further. Or to offer greater definition without losing as lighting quality.
In addition, Google has highly highlighted a new feature with the Pixel 7, the zoom “super resolution”, which allows to crop in an image and add the missing pixel by the use of AI. With a larger sensor, this process could be facilitated. But as we indicated above, he is not yet sure, at all, that Google will make this choice.
And the value for money in all of this ?
The term ultra is more and more present in the industry. We know the ultra S22 or the Xiaomi 12s Uitra, we now have an Apple Watch Ultra.
The problem is that an ultra pixel necessarily involves a price beyond 900 euros of the pixel 7 pro. However, the two pixel 7, especially the non -pro model, aim to position itself slightly below the competition at the rate level, while offering more functionalities and an admirable rendering. In this context, a sensor a thumb could at least justify the higher rate, as well as the ultra term.
