The upcoming Google Pixel 9 series is shaping up to be a major leap forward in smartphone technology. Scheduled for launch on August 13, 2024, the Pixel 9 series is rumored to include the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. These devices are expected to feature Google’s latest Tensor G4 chipset, offering improved processing power and advanced AI capabilities.
Design-wise, the Pixel 9 is rumored to adopt a flatter edge design, similar to the iPhone 15, moving away from the rounded edges of its predecessors. The new design is expected to make the devices look more sleek and modern, with a redesigned camera bar that houses a triple-lens array.
In terms of features, the Pixel 9 series will likely include an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for faster and more accurate unlocking, as well as improved cameras. The Pixel 9 Pro, for instance, is expected to boast a 50MP wide camera, a 48MP ultra-wide camera, and a telephoto lens, making it a strong contender in the mobile photography space (TechRadar) (The Independent).
Pricing for the Pixel 9 series has yet to be confirmed, but it's expected to be in line with the current market, potentially starting at around £999 for the base model. With the added competition from Apple and Samsung, Google may aim to offer competitive pricing to attract a broader audience.
