With a respectable Twitter tipster calling for the Pixel 7 Pro to offer now higher than 256GB in storage, is the lack of a 512GB storage tier a sign that Google lacks confidence in its Pixel phones?
. According to Quandt, both models will ship with 128GB and 256GB of storage. Unlike the Pixel 6 Pro, which is available with a third tier with 512GB of storage, it appears that the new Pixel 7 line will crap out at 256GB of storage. And that got us thinking about whether Google remains committed to the Pixel ecosystem as much as we think.
Is Google's decision to cap Pixel 7 Pro storage at 256GB a big step backward for the company's plans? Here is where we wonder if Google is about to take a major step backward as it did following the Pixel 4 and 4XL release in October 2019. Google practically hinted that it was taking on the iPhone with its Face Unlock recognition system that not only copied the facial recognition system developed by Apple, but just as Cupertino did,ditched the fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 4 line leaving Face Unlock as the only biometric tool to unlock the phone.
Google must have been so disappointed by sales of the Pixel 4 and 4 XL that the Pixel 5 was a completely different experience. It uses a Snapdragon 765G mid-range chipset, and Face Unlock was gone, replaced by the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner which was back. The device came with 8GB of RAM and only 128GB of storage. It seemed like Google didn't know exactly what the Pixel line was all about at this point.
