Google just teased the Pixel 9 Pro – here's everything new we ...
Our first official look at the next generation of Pixel hardware. Ahead of their August 13 event, Google has decided to give anxious fans a sneak peek at the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro, and the information being revealed is intriguing.
New Design Features
The tech giant is being coy, showing only a close-up shot of the smartphone, but it spills quite a bit. It has the signature horizontal camera array the series is known for, but instead of stretching from end to end, the lenses sit on an island separated from the device’s edges. Furthermore, it sticks out quite prominently from the main body. Inside, you notice three camera lenses sitting next to each other alongside an LED flash bulb and what appears to be a temperature sensor.
Leaked Prototypes
About a week ago, prototypes for the Pixel 9 series leaked online, showing that the two Pro models will share similar design features. Although the standard Pixel 9 design is not yet known, leaked information indicates it’ll have a glossy back with a matte frame. Initial reactions to the reveal are mixed, with some excited to see the new model and others concerned about the large camera bump.
Concerns and Criticisms
Some users are still skeptical of Gemini as a service, expressing concerns about AI-powered features not being available outside the United States. Google has been slow in rolling out its AI tech across global regions.
Upcoming Event
The next Pixel event kicks off in less than a month on August 13, 2024. You can sign up to receive alerts on Google's digital storefront to stay informed about when the device is available for purchase.
