Although they are not the best-selling phones, all manufacturers and media related to the mobile market put their eyes on the Google Pixel. This is something normal, since they mark the base on which each new version of Android is built .
In the case of the Google Pixel 7, it has not been different, since rivers of ink have run over them without even being presented. New Tensor chip, the Pixel 7 Ultra and now a possible compact edition. Has Google gone crazy? Not at all, because now that the iPhone mini is gone, Google could be preparing the Pixel 7 Mini to steal the market. This is what we know about him.
Google could soon launch its first flagship mobile in compact format
The “Made by Google” event is officially scheduled for next October 6th . At its conference, the American company will launch its new Google Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, the Pixel Watch and the Pixel Tablet, four devices that have been confirmed since Google I/O 2022.
According to previous rumours, there may also be Google’s first folding phone (Pixel Fold), the Pixel Tablet Pro and even an Ultra version for the Pixel 7. However, none of these leaks are supported by a source as reliable as the from today. According to the famous leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS), Google would be working on a top-of-the-range compact smartphone .
Its code name would be “neila” , it will have a perforated screen and a camera module similar to that of the Pixel 6 and 7. Unfortunately, DCS does not handle additional details about this device.
The Pixel 7 Mini is a surprise, because the demand for compact mobiles is not that great, is it?
Thus, we cannot assume that it will be called the Pixel 7 Mini (most likely yes), as it could be a completely separate new series. In fact, it could even be the Pixel 7a, which would normally be smaller than the regular models. The only detail with this last assumption ? The Xa series of Google Pixels launches months later, not alongside the main line.
DCS is a filter that makes mistakes very few times , so its reliability is very high. However, in this case there are some details that must be taken with tweezers: first, that the leak comes directly from China, when most of the Pixel leaks come from the western market; second, the find does not come from the Android development code, as it normally does.
Still, we can’t dismiss this rumor, and not just because it’s DCS. Google Pixels are mostly assembled in China , also in Vietnam, so a leak from that country makes sense. Yes, Google wants to move manufacturing to India soon, but that hasn’t happened yet.
