The Pixel 7 Pro comes in Hazel, Snow, and Obsidian colors. The Pixel 7 gets Lemongrass, Snow, and Obsidian color options.
The Pixel 7 Pro has a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO OLED display with 120Hz variable refresh rate, 1500 nits of peak brightness, and a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. It also supports the AOD functionality and HDR. The screen size is similar to that of the Pixel 6 Pro. The Pixel 7 has a smaller 6.3-inch Full HD+ OLED display with support for a 90Hz display.
