Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.We’re right in the middle of smartphone season, and after the launch of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 pro last month, it’s now Google’s turn. The company has just unveiled the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 pro at its Made by Google event, and both devices are available to pre-order now.
The two phones were first teased at Google’s annual I/O developer conference in May, but we’ve just had our first proper look at the handsets at Google’s keynote event, and they’ll seem largely familiar to you if you currently own a Google Pixel 6.
The Google Pixel 7 pro features a 6.7in QHD display, with a variable 120Hz refresh rate, while the standard Google Pixel 7 has a smooth 6.3in 90Hz display that Google says is ideal for gaming and scrolling. It’s also slightly smaller than the 6.4in display of the Pixel 6.
The upgrades appear to be most noticeable in the camera array. There’s now a 5x optical zoom on the phone’s telephoto lens on the Pixel 7 pro, as well as 30x Super Res shots for better photos from further away. Of course, the phones feature new Google camera smarts as well, including cinematic blur.
Google also unveiled the new Pixel watch and announced that if you pre-order the Pixel 7 pro handset ahead of launch, you’ll receive the LTE smartwatch for free, worth an eye-popping £379. Below, we’ve rounded up the best pre-order deals available to buy now.
