Today, August 13th, marks the highly-anticipated Made by Google event. Google is set to unveil the much-awaited Pixel 9 series. Let’s dive into what you can expect from this exciting launch!
When Can You Get Your Hands on the Google Pixel 9?
Although Google hasn’t confirmed the exact release date, many speculate that the Pixel 9 will be available right after the event. This would follow Google’s trend of releasing phones on the same day as the launch.
What’s New in the Google Pixel 9?
The Pixel 9 series will likely introduce four models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Last month, Google teased the Pixel 9 Pro. The design features sleek, rounded corners, flat edges, and a pill-shaped triple-camera module on the back.
While many details remain under wraps, leaks have hinted at the following:
- Pixel 9: Expected to have a 6.3-inch OLED “Actua” display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It may include 12GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB of storage, a 50MP main camera, and a 4,558mAh battery.
- Pixel 9 Pro: Likely offers up to 512GB of storage and an advanced camera setup. The camera might include a 50MP main lens, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto lens.
- Pixel 9 Pro XL: This model could sport a 6.8-inch “Super Actua” display and offer storage options up to 1TB.
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold: This foldable version is generating excitement. It is rumored to feature a 6.3-inch outer display and an 8-inch inner “Super Actua Flex” display, perfect for multitasking. High-end specs similar to the other models, including 16GB of RAM and various storage options, are also expected.
New AI-driven tools could be standout features across the Pixel 9 series. Rumors include the “Add Me” feature for enhanced group photos and the “Studio” photo editing tool.
What About the Price?
Google has yet to disclose the pricing. However, if past trends continue, the Pixel 9 might start around £999. The Pixel 9 Pro could start at £699.
