The Google Pixel 7 Pro will reportedly not have the same screen as its predecessor, the Pixel 6 Pro. Rumors suggest that the Pixel 7 Pro could come with Samsung’s new S6E3HC4 panel. This new panel would have the same resolution of 1,440×3,120 pixels as the Samsung S6E3HC3 panel used in the Pixel 6 Pro. However, the recently surfaced Android 13 beta source code suggests that the new screen will be brighter than its predecessor.
The alleged piece of code was: spotted by tipster Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman), who explains that if the Pixel 7 Pro goes for the Samsung S6E3HC4 panel, it could be brighter than the Pixel 6 Pro’s screen in both normal and high-brightness modes. The screen of the rumored Google smartphone is expected to reach 600 nits in manual mode; 100 nits higher than the 500 nits of its predecessor.
The Pixel 7 Pro is expected to reach 1,000 nits of brightness in Auto mode, which is more than the 800 nits offered by the Pixel 6 Pro. It should be noted that these parameters are 100 percent average image level (APL) – completely white display. Under normal use, displays usually have a relatively lower APL. The tipster suggests that the Pixel 7 Pro’s screen can go up to 1200 nits of brightness with normal use
The tipster further adds that the S6E3HC4 panel can also support features such as HDR10 and HLG images. It is expected to offer a native full HD mode for improved battery efficiency. The Pixel 7 Pro should offer a refresh rate of 10 Hz to 120 Hz.
Previous reports have also suggested that the Pixel 7 Pro, codenamed ‘Cheetah’, could boast an improved display. It also mentions that this handset may be powered by a second-generation Google Tensor SoC.
