A $599 (almost) flagship with “next-gen” processing power
This lines up perfectly with what was specifically tipped for Target last week… save for the $100 gift card rumor, which may or may not prove to be valid for Amazon as well.
That looks pretty legit to us.
Since this was an early listing that wasn’t supposed to be seen by prospective buyers just yet, it’s entirely possible that such an introductory offer was not uploaded to Amazon’s system at the time of the public slip-up. Alternatively, the deal (if true) might only be viewable in a more detailed future listing.
When will the Pixel 7 be released?
According to the same carelessly published Amazon product listing, October 13 is the big day, which beats some of the previous predictions made by a number of otherwise reliable leakers and tipsters by almost a week.
An October 13 release (both for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, presumably) would come exactly one week after next Thursday’s formal announcement and rumored pre-order start, which feels like an excellent turnaround for Google that only goes to further prove that the company is growing more and more serious about challenging Apple and Samsung’s (US) smartphone market supremacy… eventually.
By the way, Amazon was apparently also kind enough to publish something that Google has very carefully kept under wraps so far. That high-resolution image at the top of our article is one of the first (semi) official ones to showcase the front of the 6.3-inch Pixel 7 in addition to its back.
