Google Pixel 9

The Pixel 9 is Google’s new baseline flagship device, but it packs a serious punch backed by Google’s AI suite at a reasonable $799 price tag.

As seems to be customary, we know a great deal about Google’s latest smartphone series before they officially launch. The last-minute leaks are seriously piling up for the Pixel 9 — here’s everything you need to know.

Following Made by Google 2024 on Tuesday, Google is hosting a “star-studded livestream variety show” called the “After Party” to promote and highlight the Pixel 9 series.

With the Pixel 9 series, Google is rumored to be releasing an exclusive Pixel Weather app.

In just over a week, we’ll know for certain just what the Pixel 9 series has to offer. That said, leak have given us an idea of the Pixel 9 color options – here’s what you said was your favorite.

Thanks to a treasure trove’s worth of leaks, we know pretty much everything there is to know about the Pixel 9 series, including that it will see some price hikes, making the main three phones more expensive. Why is that?

Last year, pre-ordering the Pixel 8 Pro got you a Pixel Watch 2 or Pixel Buds Pro. The Pixel 9 series is going a different direction for its pre-orders with storage upgrades and Google One.

The Pixel 9 series has leaked into oblivion at this point but one of the more interesting recent tidbits has been the color options of the upcoming devices.

Google’s upcoming Tensor G4 chip was never going to be a major upgrade, especially as it’s just a final stop-gap before the arrival of fully custom Tensor chips produced through TSMC. But that doesn’t mean it can’t have a meaningful boost for users, and it seems that will come in the form of improved battery consumption and heat through a better modem within the Pixel 9 series.

Historically, Pixel phones have launched with the new version of Android. A leak today says that might not be the case in 2024, with the Pixel 9 series apparently launching with Android 14. 

Regulatory leaks have already provided an idea of how big the batteries on the Pixel 9 series are, but we now have more definite specs, including faster charging speeds.

We’re still about two weeks out from Google’s next Pixel launch event, but a ton of big leaks this week told us basically every detail about the Pixel 9 series.

Running out of storage on a smartphone is never fun, but even the cheapest devices nowadays (unless they’re an Apple iPad) ship with pretty plentiful amounts of storage. Slowly, Android devices have been moving to 256GB of storage as the default amount, but Google’s Pixel 9 is likely coming with 128GB. Is that still enough for you?

In addition to Pixel Screenshot and photo features like “Add Me” and “Reimagine with,” the Pixel 9 might get call recording and a redesigned Panorama experience.

From what has leaked, Google is positioning Pixel Screenshots alongside Gemini and Circle to Search as the Pixel 9’s biggest assistive features. 

So far, Google’s official teasers about the upcoming launches have ignored the Pixel 9, but a promo video leak shares how it will be advertised.

Just yesterday a leaked set of images offered a closer look at the Pixel 9 Pro series in four different colors, and now images of the base Pixel 9 have leaked, showing off more vibrant hues.

AI features are probably going to be the main focus of new Google Pixel phones for the foreseeable future, and this morning a new leak has revealed “Add Me,” an impressive new photo feature coming with Pixel 9 that can add you to a group shot after it’s been taken.

As the launch of the Google Pixel 9 series approaches, you’re probably weighing whether to upgrade your phones or wait for the new models. Let’s explore what we can expect from the Pixel 9 series and how it compares to current alternatives.

Google’s upcoming Pixel 9 series isn’t expected to be a major leap for the company’s Tensor chipset, but leaked specs have revealed that the whole lineup will include a lot more RAM.

Ahead of its launch event in a couple of weeks, Google can’t seem to stop Pixel 9 leaks from hitting the web. Today, we’re getting a full collection of marketing materials that detail the Pixel 9 series design, AI features, and more.
