Pixel 7, 7 Pro's specifications tipped prior to launch
What's the story
Google is preparing for the launch of its next-generation Pixel series smartphones on October 6.
A previous leak revealed the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro would have a price tag similar to the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, respectively.
Now, the latest tip-off from industry insider Yogesh Brar claims the Pixel 7 series models will bear somewhat similar specifications as their previous generation counterparts.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Google's Pixel 7 series handsets will house the all-new Tensor G2 chipset. However, looking at the tipped specifications, it seems that the devices will get only minor upgrades in terms of specifications when compared to their predecessors.
Additionally, they are expected to be sold at a similar price tag as the Pixel 6 series models. Therefore, the deal must not bother the fans much.

Pixel 7 and 7 Pro will get a top-centered punch-hole cut-out and an in-display fingerprint scanner. They will sport a full-width metal visor, with double and triple rear camera cut-outs, respectively.
The former may get a 6.3-inch FHD+ (1080x2400 pixels) AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate.
The latter could sport a 6.7-inch QHD+ (1440x3120 pixels) LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
