Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are expected to be launched this year as their new flagship devices for 2022. The devices are rumored to be powered by a Samsung-built 4nm Google Tensor chip, run Android 13 and use a Pixel 6-like design but with the glass camera bar replaced by a bar aluminum.
The device appears to have already arrived in the hands of the general public, as prototype models have been leaked and are being sold on Facebook Marketplace and even eBay. In addition to these two devices, Google is said to be likely to present another Pixel device with higher specifications than the Pixel 7 Pro.
Via XDA, a developer has managed to obtain Android 13 Beta 4 codes and camera details for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The sensor to be used is said to be a Samsung ISOCELL GN1 50MP with a Sony IMX381 12MP sensor as well as an ISOCELL 3J1 11MP selfie camera. Added to the Pixel 7 Pro is a 48MP ISOCELL GM1 sensor replacing the 48MP IMX586 sensor used on the Pixel 6 Pro.
For the Pixel tablet that will be launched in 2023, this developer found code that states this tablet will use an 8MP dual-camera configuration from the Sony IMX355 sensor, which is the same sensor on the Pixel 6 selfie camera.

XDA added, in addition to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, a mysterious device with the code Lynx (L10) was also found using the same ISOCELL GN1 50MP camera. But the device is also seen to include a 64MP IMX687 sensor for telephoto and a new Sony yet-to-be-announced IMX712 13MP sensor. This is the first time Google is using a new sensor that hasn't been announced yet, because so far they've just been recycling the same sensor.
However, there is a possibility that this device is a device that Google only uses for camera testing. Finally, code for a device with Google's foldable screen was also found. Although the device is reportedly going to be delayed, Google is seen to be continuing testing for it.
The device codenamed Passport or Pipit is seen to include a 50MP ISOCELL GN1 camera, a 12MP legacy IMX363 sensor, a 12MP IMX386 sensor and a selfie camera with an 8MP IMX355 sensor. Let's wait for more and see what surprises from Google will come.
