Google Pixel 9 series: All we know about the upcoming phones
Google's Pixel 9 series is generating buzz, with new leaks providing insight into the upcoming devices. According to a report by 91mobiles, the series will feature four new colors: dark grey, light grey, off-white, and pink. The pink variant was first reported by India Today Tech. It's important to note that these names might not be the final marketed names for the variants. The leaks also suggest that the devices will have glossy frames with matte-textured back panels. The report also highlights changes in the camera design. The new camera island will have a distinct appearance. The Pro models are expected to feature three lenses, while the regular Pixel will have two lenses. The camera island on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is shaped like a rectangle with rounded corners, whereas the non-foldable Pixel 9 will have an oblong-shaped camera island. The front panel of the devices will likely feature a punch-hole display.
Gemini AI Features
Google has hinted that the Pixel 9 series will be heavily integrated with Gemini AI features. These devices are expected to include a range of AI capabilities. Google promises seven years of security updates and Pixel Drops, which are software updates with new exclusive features. One such feature is Pixel Screenshots, similar to Microsoft's Recall feature. It allows users to save information they want to remember later, such as events and places. Users can access Pixel Screenshots later to find what they might have forgotten or missed. The upcoming Pixel 9 series will also include Emergency SOS. This feature will send crisis alerts about nearby fires or floods and aims to protect users from malware and phishing scams.
Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold
The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be the second foldable device by Google and the first to arrive in India. This new device is expected to feature a much larger display compared to its predecessor, the Google Fold. The inner display is rumored to measure 8 inches diagonally, an upgrade from the 7.4 inches on the first foldable. This new display will reportedly have a resolution of 2152 x 2076, peak brightness of 1,600 nits, and support a 120Hz refresh rate. The first Google Fold had a dimmer display at 1,000 nits. While the teaser doesn't reveal the camera on the inner screen, rumors suggest that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a punch-hole camera on the left side of the screen. This is a design upgrade from the first fold's bezel-mounted camera, made possible by the reduced bezel size.
Overall, the Google Pixel 9 series is shaping up to be a significant upgrade, with new colors, improved camera design, AI features, and an impressive foldable model.
