We have a new confirmation on the release of the upcoming Pixel 7 Ultra. It would be Foxconn assembly and would arrive with a ceramic design and better photo sensors. The Pixel Fold, Google’s first folding smartphone, could also launch very soon.
In addition to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, Google is reportedly preparing an even higher-end version potentially dubbed Pixel 7 Ultra. According to a Weibo post from renowned Chinese insider Digital Chat Station, Google has partnered with Foxconn to produce a flagship that’s made of ceramic rather than a combination of glass, metal and plastic. It is most likely this famous Pixel 7 Ultra, code name Lynx.
The same source indicates that this smartphone will be equipped with a 2K screen and a Tensor 2 chip, the next generation of Google’s in-house SoC. These clues reinforce the idea that it is indeed an ultra premium Pixel 7 that would be concerned. If this is, it will be the first time that a Pixel smartphone has adopted ceramic as a material.
