Following the Pixel Watch, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro pricing has now leaked from a US retailer, and it’s unchanged from last year’s flagship phones.

According to Artem Russakovskii on Twitter this morning, Target’s (internal) systems have already listed Google’s upcoming phones. The Pixel 7 in Snow (white), Obsidian (black), and Lemongrass (apt color description on its own) starts at $599, which is presumably the 128GB model.

As MKBHD and company said on their latest podcast, just like last year, there doesn't seem to be enough with the 7 series phones to warrant a $300 difference from the 7 to 7 Pro as there wasn't with the 6 and 6 Pro. I appreciate that the 7 is still $599 but the 7 Pro should be no more than $849. The Tensor chip is still not cutting edge with the rest of the QC flagship chips much less Apple's A series chips and Google clearly isn't running after the best specs here with their goal being more user experience and AI/ML features than raw performance which is fine but if they can get away with selling the 7 for $599 then that means the 7 Pro can be sold for less than $899.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 7 Pro in Obsidian, Snow, and Hazel (dark green) starts at $899. Pricing is unchanged from last year, which is fitting for phones that very much look the same and does not have drastically different internals.

Additionally, Target will offer a $100 gift card with Pixel 7 purchase, likely for the duration of the pre-order period. Buying a Pixel 7 Pro boosts that to $200.

Per other rumors, the start date for pre-orders is Thursday, October 6, which is the day of the Made by Google event and the “launch date is currently still listed as October 13.”
