The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are Google’s latest flagship devices, but their reign at the top will soon come to an end. The Pixel 8a, while a recent addition to the lineup, falls short in terms of power compared to its siblings. However, the Pixel 9 series is on the horizon, set to surpass the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro as the most powerful Pixels yet.
The upcoming Pixel 9 family promises to be a game-changer, with leaks hinting at significant upgrades and new AI features. Google seems poised to introduce a fresh look and innovative AI functionalities that push the boundaries of what we’ve seen before.
Here’s what we know so far about the Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and even the Pixel 9 Pro Fold:
Google Pixel 9: Release Date
Google has confirmed that its next “Made by Google” event will take place on August 13 in Mountain View, California. This early launch date is a departure from last year when the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro debuted in October. The event promises to showcase new AI features, Android software enhancements, and the next generation of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 9. A report also reveals that the Pixel 9 series will hit the Indian market on August 14 through Flipkart.
Google Pixel 9: Possible Price
Pricing for the Pixel 9 remains uncertain, with speculations suggesting that Google may not follow the $100 price increase trend seen in the past. The addition of advanced AI features could potentially impact the pricing. The introduction of XL models this year, including the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, may also influence the final prices, with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold expected to be the most expensive due to its foldable design.
Google Pixel 9: Design and Display
Leaked renders of the Pixel 9 family point towards a significant design overhaul, with a new camera visor layout and flat sides. The Pixel 9 is expected to feature a 6.3-inch Actua display, while the Pixel 9 Pro may have a similar size with smaller bezels. The Pixel 9 Pro XL, with a larger 6.8-inch display, could mark the return of Google’s “XL” branding.
