Google today provided a very good look at the Pixel 9 Pro and is continuing to tease this upcoming device as “magical” thanks to Gemini.
The 30-second video humorously has Gemini write a breakup letter to your “Dear old phone.” Google is again focusing on how the Pixel 9 series “actually feels magical” and how it’s “not just the same old thing.”

The Pixel 8 Pro was presented as an AI first phone as well and now many months later some of the most important announced AI features and AI selling points are still not available. Especially outside the US you can forget about using AI in any useful way. For example: Gemini Nano can only be accessed when enabling it in developer options and I think most people are still not sure what it actually does.
Is it gonna be any different with the Pixel 9 series? Or will Google continue pretending in marketing material they're good at AI instead of actually doing it?
We reported this week that the Pixel 9 Pro might come with 1-year of Gemini Advanced. Meanwhile, it should be the first phone to feature Gemini Nano with Multimodality.
No longer shrouded in shadows, we then see the Pixel 9 Pro in Porcelain with “Oh hi, AI” as the tagline. Note the matte/grainy texture off the camera bar, while we see a glimpse of the shiny side rails.
Google also shared a handful of other shots of the device. The Google Store teases a “whole new era of phones” with a prominent button to “Chat with Gemini” on the Pixel 9 Pro page that just opens gemini.google.com.
The Pixel 9 Pro will be announced at Made by Google 2024 on August 13.
