The Google Pixel 9 series is set to launch on Aug. 13 at the Made by Google event, but the question is, how will they differ from the previous generation? I don’t know about you, but I want to see Google step it up with a new set of features that will blow competitors away. According to leaks and rumors, however, it appears that the Pixel 9 series will be playing “catch up” with some of the biggest players on the market. I won’t keep you in suspense for long, so here’s the scuttlebutt we’ve been hearing about the Google Pixel 9 and Google Pixel 9 Pro — and even a possible new Pro XL model that may be added to the Pixel family.
Google Pixel 9 Release Date
The Google Pixel 9 series will get announced on Aug. 13 at the search-engine giant’s Made by Google event. The Google Pixel 9 series is expected to drop on Aug. 13 at the Made By Google event. This is surprising because Google typically rolls out its Pixel phones in the fall. For reference, here are the release dates for the previous device launches: Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro – Oct. 4, 2023 Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro – Oct. 6, 2023 Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro – Oct. 19, 2023 The only time Google did not launch in October was in 2020, the year when the pandemic shook up the tech hardware industry.
Google Pixel 9 Price
There aren’t any credible rumors on pricing, however, Google already increased the price tags of both devices last year, bumping them by $100. As such, we doubt that Google will instate yet another price hike for 2024. That being said, the expected price tags for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are the following: Pixel 9 – $699 Pixel 9 Pro – $999 Interestingly, however, according to 91Mobiles, Google may consider bringing a third phone into the mix, offering a trio of devices similar to the Galaxy S24 series. The Pixel 9 Pro XL will reportedly be the most expensive tier of the Google Pixel 9 lineup.
Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro — and a Pixel 9 Pro XL?
As mentioned, 91Mobiles claims that Google is launching a Pixel 9 Pro XL in addition to the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. This wouldn’t be the first time Google introduced an “XL” phone into the mix. The last time we saw an “XL” device was the Pixel 5 series — and we haven’t seen it since. The Pixel 9 Pro XL will reportedly have the following specs: Interestingly, if these specs are accurate, Pixel 9 Pro XL will feature a slight reduction from the Pixel 8 Pro’s 6.7-inch display.
Google Pixel 9 Design
Unlike the current generation, which has rounded edges, the Pixel 9 series will reportedly have flat edges, similar to the iPhone 15 and Galaxy S24 series. According to 91mobiles, here’s what we know about the Pixel 9: The Pixel 9 Pro, on the other hand, will sport the following: 6.1-inch display 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm Offers a blue colorway We’re also hearing that the Google Pixel 9 will come in pink, according to a leak discovered on Instagram.
Google Pixel 9 Camera
Both phones will sport a hole-punch selfie camera, just like their predecessors. The Pixel’s distinctive camera visor design is getting a change, too, apparently. Instead of a rectangular-esque visor extending from edge to edge, the new visor will have more of a pill-shaped design. The Pixel 9 will have a dual-camera rear setup. The Pixel 9 Pro, alongside the Pixel 9 Pro XL, will reportedly have a triple-camera setup. For a long time, rumors on the Pixel 9 series’ cameras were sparse — until Android Authority dropped an exclusive recently.
Google Pixel 9 Battery Life
Google claims that the Pixel 8 has a battery life rating of over 24 hours, which is based on a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. With Extreme Battery Saver mode, users can squeeze out 72 hours. We don’t know how long the Pixel 9 series will last on a charge, but according to a Taiwanese regulatory institution, we know its battery size according to reports. As such, the Pixel 9 Pro XL should deliver longer battery life compared to the other two models.
Google Pixel 9 Specs
According to Rozetked and 91mobiles, you’ll find the next-gen Tensor chip inside the Pixel 9 series, likely the Tensor G4 processor. Per the former, the Pixel 9 Pro will sport 16GB of RAM, a step up from the Pixel 8 Pro’s 12GB of memory. Other specs you’ll reportedly find across the Pixel 9 series: New Qi2 charging technology, which increases wireless charging up to 15W and offers better alignment (similar to MagSafe) New “Adaptive Touch” feature, which lets you adjust the display’s sensitivity based on your surroundings Satellite connectivity via a Samsung modem upgrade
