These Google Pixel 7 renders show evolution of design language initiated by Google

A few months after the launch of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, the first renders showing the Pixel 7 Pro came out. The images from trusted leaker Onleaks show (CARHP) the evolution of the design language introduced by Google with the Pixel 6.
Judging by the images, the Pixel 7 looks similar to Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. The changes are subtle, for instance, the rear camera visor now integrates with the frame instead of sitting. Other changes related to the dimensions, the Pixel 7 Pro is estimated to be smaller, thinner, and narrower than the 6 Pro.
It is expected the same 6.7-inch to 6.8-inch curved display, single USB-C port, and dual speakers coming back. The power/lock and volume rocker buttons are on the right. The power/lock button is placed above the volume rocker button, but this is a pixel phone.
However, Google kept the original Pixel design for three generations and eight smartphones, while the Pixel 4 style continues for two generations and up to six smartphones.
Apart from these images, some other Pixel 7 details have come to light from hidden codes in the Android 13 developer preview. The phone is said to be equipped with Google’s Tensor 2 chip paired with the new Samsung Exynos modem.
The Pixel 6 is likely to have insufficient signal performance as a result of the current Exynos modem compared to Samsung and Apple phones that use Qualcomm modems. Hopefully, the new modem will help greatly in improving this.
Google’s Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are set to launch this October. While Google generally does not make its advance announcements, more details should come out before then.

It looks like Samsung’s Galaxy S series is the victim of the terrible green and/or pink lines issue.

Following the May update installation, some Galaxy S21 users reported green/pink lines problems.

Samsung released the Galaxy S21 in early 2021, and the lineup has completed two years of launch at this point. As the devices got out of warranty, it becomes a pricey concern to get the screen replaced, as it could cost approx $300 in the United States.
Consumers say that they first noticed a single colored line on the screen, which further expanded with the second colored line. As Samsung consumers are aware of the display problem, they are not making efforts to solve it through a firmware update, as it’s not a solution at all.
The Galaxy S21 series models are quite expensive and Samsung should acknowledge the problem. A free screen replacement program should be opened for Galaxy users where they can reach and get their phones checked. If found it manufacturer defect, the screen should be replaced free of cost.
