Google has introduced its new Pixel 9 smartphones, highlighting their advanced AI features.
The release of these devices comes earlier than usual, as Google typically unveils new Pixel models in the autumn. The changes in these new models are more revolutionary compared to previous versions.
These smartphones boast enhanced integrations of Google’s AI technology. One notable feature allows users to search for information and images within their screenshots, thanks to deeper integration. Additionally, some features are accessible as overlays from other apps through the Gemini chatbot.
The Pixel 9 series includes several models. The base model, Pixel 9, features a 6.3-inch screen and is priced at $799. The Pixel 9 Pro XL, a larger option, comes with a 6.8-inch screen. The Pixel 9 Pro offers an enhanced camera system at a higher price, while the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a foldable variant.
Google announced at the event that the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL will ship in late August. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold are scheduled for a September release, with preorders starting August 13. The event featured a live demo showcasing Gemini’s new conversation features. Google also highlighted updates to the phone’s exterior design, the advanced camera system, and the integration of the new Tensor G4 chip.
Additionally, Google unveiled the Pixel Watch 3 smartwatch and Pixel Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds. The smartwatch includes a heart rate tracking feature that calls emergency services if the heart rate stops, available in the UK and the EU.
