You use your phone for so many things, it makes sense to choose one designed to meet your own unique needs.
But not everyone has exactly the same needs. So Pixel comes in different models to best suit different daily needs and budgets. “With Pixel, our goal is to build the right product for the right user at the right price,” says Peter Prunuske, Google Senior Director in Product Management.
Whether you want to take pro-level photos or you’re looking for value, you have options. Here’s how to find the Pixel that’s perfect for you.
If you’re keeping an eye on your budget but still want great performance, Pixel 7a is Google’s most affordable phone, delivering just the right amount of features for the price.
“It’s designed for users who want great performance at a great price, but who may not need the full capability of a flagship phone,” says Prunuske.
Pixel 7a is smaller than other Pixel phones, so you can hold it comfortably in one hand and easily unlock it with Face Unlock. It comes with 128 GB of internal storage. Most importantly, Pixel 7a has the

“Pixel 7 delivers great value without compromising on what users want, with a premium design and quality and an optimized Google experience,” says Prunuske. Driving those experiences is Tensor G2, Google’s custom-built chip that allows phones to be faster and more intelligent.
Pixel 7 also conveys everyday luxury without costing too much, and the camera is more powerful than the Pixel 7a camera. Its dual rear-camera system includes a 50-megapixel wide lens and Super Res Zoom, which provides image quality similar to a dedicated 2x optical zoom,4 and can go up to 8x for high-quality photos from far away.5
Its improved front-facing camera gives you more options for selfies, and Cinematic Blur adds a dramatic effect to your photos and videos. With the Google Tensor G2 chip on board, Pixel 7 remedies shaky shots with
For even more security in your browsing and other online activity, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro offer
“This is our ‘best-in-class,’” says Prunuske. “We’re taking advantage of the newest tech to elevate the overall experience.”
Pixel 7 Pro has a pro-level triple rear camera system that includes a 5x telephoto lens capable of images comparable to a 10x optical zoom4 and up to 30x Super Res Zoom.5 So you can get high-quality pictures even if you’re far away – like sitting in the nosebleed section for a game or concert. Plus, an upgraded ultrawide lens with autofocus that powers Macro Focus – a new and exclusive feature on Pixel 7 Pro that lets you get vivid closeups of objects when you’re as near as three centimeters away.
It’s also a speedy phone, with 12 GB RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. That makes it easy to multitask and switch seamlessly between apps. And you’ll see all of it on the phone’s super-sharp 6.7-inch display and its higher brightness. With its variable refresh rate up to 120Hz (up to 90Hz on Pixel 7), you get responsive gaming, and smooth scrolling, without killing your battery.
Pixel Fold, the only foldable phone engineered by Google, combines the best features of Pixel phones with an immersive inner display that helps you accomplish more in less time. Pixel Fold looks and acts like other Pixel phones when it’s closed. But when you open it up, you’ll find that it’s anything but ordinary. With features like Split Screen, drag and drop, and Taskbar, it takes multitasking to a whole new level.9 The amazing Pixel camera, now in a foldable, offers features like Rear Camera Selfie and hands-free modes like
Open up Pixel Fold to play videos on its large inner screen. And when it’s in tabletop mode, you can sit back and take in your favorite movies and shows without needing to hold the phone.9
Pixel Fold is built to last, with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™ on the outer screen and an IPX8 water resistance rating. And it’s the thinnest foldable, with a slim body that fits perfectly in your pocket or in your hand.10
Regardless of which Pixel you choose, you’ll get innovative software that draws on Google AI. So you can free up time with
“We’re harnessing Google’s state-of-the-art AI,” says Prunuske, “to understand your needs and make life easier.”
And your phone keeps getting better and stays useful longer, with new and improved features every few months through Feature Drops. At every tier, Pixel owners get terrific value.
