The Google Pixel 9 series is just around the corner, and it’s expected to bring significant changes to the design, camera, and software of the Pixel phones. The new series is expected to comprise four models: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. While the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL have been leaking out slowly, new renders and leaks have confirmed the design and features of the entire series.
The design of the Pixel 9 series is a departure from the traditional Pixel design. The phones will have flat sides, similar to the latest Samsung Galaxy series, and a new camera visor that ends before the phone’s sides, with rounded edges that bend gracefully around the camera lenses. The Pixel 9 Pro will have three cameras, including an ultrawide lens, a primary sensor, and a telephoto lens, while the Pixel 9 will have two cameras.
The software of the Pixel 9 series is expected to be Android 15, and it will likely bring significant improvements to the camera app, including the ability to record videos in 8K resolution. The phone will also feature a new AI-powered assistant called Pixie, which will be powered by the Gemini Nano processor.
The camera of the Pixel 9 series is expected to be a major upgrade from the previous generation. The phone will feature a new Sony IMX858 sensor that will provide better low-light performance and a larger field of view. The front-facing camera will also be improved, with autofocus and a larger sensor.
The Pixel 9 series is expected to launch on August 13, and it will likely be priced around $699 for the Pixel 9 and $999 for the Pixel 9 Pro. The Pixel 9 Pro XL will likely be priced around $1,099, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will likely be priced around $1,299.
The Google Pixel 9 series is shaping up to be a major overhaul of the Pixel line, with significant design changes, improved cameras, and new AI features. While the full scope of the new features and design is not yet known, it’s evident that Google is aiming to make a big splash with the Pixel 9 series.
