On August 13, Google will introduce its Pixel 9 series smartphone at the “Made by Google” event. Google made it apparent that the next-generation Pixel smartphone will be the main attraction of the event with the teaser film that the firm released along with the announcement of the event date. The future cellphones’ outlines were also displayed in the preview.

Variants

In contrast to previous years, Google may release more than two Pixel 9 smartphones this year. The Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold phone may be added to the lineup in addition to the regular Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro models.

The Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are expected to have similar-sized screens, but the XL variant will have a bigger screen, according to news reports. It is anticipated that Google would rename the book-style foldable smartphone, the Pixel Fold, as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and include it in the flagship number series.

Design

It is expected that there will be a significant redesign of the Pixel 9 series devices. The Google preview suggests that the Pixel 9 will have a flat frame design rather than the curved one seen in previous generations of smartphones. In addition to their new frame design, the Pixel 9 series smartphones are anticipated to feature a detachable floating island-style camera module—a feature that sets them apart from the Pixel 8 series’ camera visor.

Pictures of a pink-colored Pixel 9 smartphone have been circulating online. The Pixel 9 smartphone may be available in a variety of bright colours, including a pink shade that is probably going to be dubbed “Peony”.

AI features

Smartphones made with Google Pixels are renowned for including the newest and most unique Google software features. It is anticipated that this will be true for the Pixel 9 series. In a report published by Android Authority, Google says that the Pixel 9 series will come with a combination of new and current features. According to the source, the smartphones would come equipped with Google AI functionalities like Circle to Search and the Gemini AI assistant, which are already accessible on a few devices.Three additional AI capabilities, including Add Me, which is presumably a more refined version of the Best Take feature, will be included in the Pixel 9 nonetheless. Additionally, a new “Studio” app or service will be available for the handsets. This might be an all-in-one AI image generator and editor, akin to Apple’s newly revealed Image Playground.
