What has changed from the S6E3HC3 of the Pixel 6 Pro to the new S6E3HC4 display panel being developed by Google for the Pixel 7 Pro? The new S6E3HC4 screen will feature the same 3,120 x 1,440px resolution and 10-120Hz refresh rate. The source code included in the Android 13 betas provides a partial response to that query.
It will be brighter on the new display screen. According to the code seen below, the Pixel 7 Pro will provide manual brightness settings up to 600 nits, which is 100 nits more than what the Pixel 6 Pro allowed.
The display's maximum brightness will increase to 1,000 nits in Auto mode from 800 nits. Note that these numbers apply to displays that are completely white (100 percent APL). The brightness may definitely reach 1,200 nits with lower APL (which is a lot more typical circumstance).
The display panel's extra capabilities, such as support for HDR10 and HLG pictures, are also described in the source code. However, there is still no HDR10+ or a lower minimum refresh rate. However, there is a native 1080p option that should aid in battery conservation.
Google has not yet announced an official launch date for the Pixel 7 series, although it is "coming soon" (it will be in October, according to rumors). At this time, it is also unknown if the smaller Pixel 7 receives a display update.
