Google has officially announced the Pixel 7 launch event after months of leaks and rumours. Coincidentally, precisely one month after Apple's release of the iPhone 14, Google will have its massive event, which will witness a flood of debuts. In a blog post, Google stated that the Pixel 7 lineup will become official on October 6. The Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and eagerly anticipated Google Pixel Watch will all be part of the lineup. Its Nest smart speakers will also receive some upgrades.

The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be part of Google's much anticipated Pixel 7 series, which has been announced as being launched. Google will reveal the Google Pixel Watch, which has been in development for the previous two years, along with the phones. In reality, it was rumoured that Google will unveil the product at the Pixel 6 launch event of the previous year, but the debut was postponed owing to an alleged chip shortage. Google also has ambitions to increase the number of Nest smart speakers.

The latest iteration of Tensor, Google's own mobile CPU, will power the Google Pixel 7 series out of the box. It is expected to add individualised capabilities for images, videos, security, and speech recognition. While there is not much known on the internals of the smartphone, we have seen renders, prototype units, and even leaked unboxing videos for the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro in previous reports.

The Pixel Watch, Google's first wristwatch, will also be presented during the occasion. The business is combining the health and fitness know-how of Fitbit and Google under one roof. The upgraded version of Google's WearOS will power the wristwatch. According to the manufacturer, all Pixel and Android phones, as well as the Pixel Buds Pro and Pixel Buds A-Series wireless earphones, are compatible with the Pixel Watch.

The introduction of the Google Pixel 7 was revealed exactly one month after the tonight-announced release of the Apple iPhone 14. Google introduced the Pixel 6 series in October of last year as well, roughly a month after Apple unveiled the iPhone 13.
