As Google’s Pixel 7 launch date approaches, a final series of leaks have descended to give us the clearest look at what might be Google’s best phone so far.
These images come from the folks over at 91Mobiles and show off the new Pixels from all sides. Given that Google had shown off the rear rather extensively, both phones appear precisely as you’d imagine them to be.
Both devices look strikingly similar to their predecessors, with the exception of the camera visors, which are now covered to protect the camera glass. The front is rather non-descript (likely why Google’s been hiding it). You’ll find no wide notch or Dynamic Island here, but a simple hole punch cutout housing the front-facing camera. Finally, the renders show off the Pixel 7’s Obsidian, Snow, and Lemongrass colorways, with only the Obsidian and Snow colors displayed for the Pro.
Google’s Pixels are otherwise expected to keep a lot of what made the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro so good, while upgrading some of the hardware that was criticized. Tensor isn’t getting much more powerful, according to an analysis from a Pixel 7 prototype, but it could be getting more efficient by upgrading to a 4nm process. The cameras are staying at 50MP, but Google could be swapping out the telephoto lens on the pro and adding an ultrawide camera around the front as it had with the Pixel 3. The displays are also rumored to remain and 90Hz for the Pixel 7 and 120Hz for the 7 Pro, but the Pro will reportedly go up to 600 nits brighter than its predecessor.
Google has a lot of ingredients here to make a killer smartphone if these reports and true. We won’t have long to wait to find out the facts from the fabulous. Google will be taking the wraps off the Pixel 7 next week, with an Amazon listing claiming a starting price of $600 and a street date of October 13.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
