Design
The Pixel 7 measures 155.6 x 73.2 x 8.7mm and weighs 197 grams. The build uses Gorilla Glass Victus on both the front display and the glass back, with an aluminum frame. IP68 provides full dust and water resistance to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. Available in Obsidian, Lemongrass, and Snow.
Display
The Pixel 7 carries a 6.3-inch AMOLED display at 1080 x 2400 pixels (416 ppi) running at 90Hz with 1,000-nit HBM and 1,400-nit peak brightness, HDR10+, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The 90Hz is adaptive, smooth for everyday use though not as fluid as the 120Hz displays on competing phones. The 416ppi renders text and images sharply. The compact 6.3-inch form factor is a meaningful design advantage for buyers who find larger phones difficult to use one-handed.
Camera
The Pixel 7 carries a dual rear camera system: a 50MP main camera (f/1.9, 25mm, 1/1.31-inch, 1.2µm, dual-pixel PDAF, OIS) with Laser AF, Dual-LED flash, Pixel Shift, Auto-HDR, and panorama; and a 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2, 114 degrees, 1/2.9-inch, 1.25µm). The main camera records 4K at 30/60fps and 1080p at 30/60/120/240fps with gyro-EIS, OIS, and 10-bit HDR. The 10.8MP selfie camera (f/2.2, 21mm ultrawide, 1/3.1-inch, 1.22µm) records 4K at 30/60fps and 1080p at 30/60fps.
Performance
The Google Tensor G2 on 5nm with 8GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage delivers capable everyday performance, all standard Kenyan daily tasks run smoothly. The Tensor G2 prioritises AI and camera processing over raw benchmark scores; in real-world photography, video, and AI feature use, it performs excellently. For intensive gaming at maximum settings, it falls behind 2025 and 2026 flagship chips in this catalogue. Currently running Android 16, the latest available at time of writing.
Connectivity
The Pixel 7 connects to 5G and 4G LTE. Wi-Fi 6E tri-band provides the 6GHz radio band for reduced congestion. Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX HD handles wireless audio. NFC enables tap-to-pay. Multi-constellation GPS with L1+L5 dual-frequency covers high-accuracy navigation. USB-C 3.2 provides fast data transfer and charging. No 3.5mm headphone jack. No microSD slot.
Battery and Charging
The Pixel 7 carries a 4,355mAh battery with 20W wired charging reaching 50% in 30 minutes, 20W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. The 4,355mAh provides reliable all-day endurance for moderate use. The 20W wireless charging is faster than the 15W on the Samsung Galaxy S25 in this catalogue. The reverse wireless charging shares power with accessories placed on the back.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- How much software support does the Google Pixel 7 have left? Google's support for the Pixel 7 ends approximately October 2027, roughly 15 to 16 months from today (July 2026). After this date the phone will no longer receive major Android updates or monthly security patches. The phone will continue to function, but will become increasingly vulnerable to security issues over time. Buyers planning to keep a phone for 2 or more years should consider a phone with longer remaining support.
- Is the Google Pixel 7 camera still competitive in 2026? Yes, for most everyday photography. Google's computational photography software, including Real Tone for accurate skin tones, Night Sight for low-light, Photo Unblur, and Magic Eraser, continues to produce results that compete with and often exceed cameras on phones costing more at this price in 2026.
- Google Pixel 7 vs Samsung Galaxy A37 which should I buy? The Pixel 7 wins on: larger main camera sensor (1/1.31" vs 1/1.56", Pixel wins), 4K 10-bit HDR video, 20W wireless charging, Google AI features, compact 6.3-inch size, and pure Android. The Galaxy A37 wins on: approximately 6 years of software support remaining vs ~15 months on the Pixel 7, 120Hz display (vs 90Hz), and Samsung ecosystem. For camera quality and Google features short-term, choose the Pixel 7. For long software support, choose the A37.
- What Google AI features does the Pixel 7 support? The Tensor G2 chip powers several Google-exclusive features: Live Translate for real-time conversation translation, Clear Calling for reducing background noise on phone calls, Direct My Call for transcribing automated phone menus so you can read options silently, Hold for Me which holds a call on your behalf while you wait, and Recorder with real-time transcription. These features are not available on competing phones regardless of price or chipset.
- Is the Pixel 7 good for video recording in 2026? Yes. 4K at 60fps in 10-bit HDR with OIS and gyro-EIS stabilisation, Cinematic Blur video mode, and 1080p at 240fps slow-motion remain strong specifications in 2026. The Pixel 7's video processing and stabilisation hold up well against much newer phones. For professional video work requiring 8K or advanced colour grading, more recent phones are preferable. For content creation, social media, and everyday video, the Pixel 7 is more than capable.
