Google pushed its Pixel event two full months earlier and unveiled the largest yet lineup of Pixels – four. The expected Pixel 9 arrived with a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED, a flat body, the new Tensor G4 chipset, and an upgraded ultrawide angle camera.
For the first time, Google made a smaller Pro phone in the Pixel 9 Pro – the same 6.3-inch display diagonal, but with a superior LTPO panel, a better selfie camera, and a periscope zoom lens. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the usual big flagship, but it got an XL added to its name and a 0.1-inch bump in screen estate. It shares the Tensor G4 and the camera system with the smaller Pixel 9 Pro.
Finally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold brings a redesigned, and thinner body, larger displays, and an updated hinge.
The Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL will ship at the end of August, while the Pixel 9 Pro and the 9 Pro Fold will follow in September.
Google also unveiled the Pixel Watch 3, which comes in two sizes for the first time – the usual 41mm and a new 45mm. It has the same Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 SoC for wearables, and the same collection of sensors such as HR monitor, ECG readings, SpO2, skin thermometer, and GPS. The new addition is the UWB chip.
Both have new Super Actua displays, 16GB of RAM, Tensor G4 SoC, and 42MP selfies.
While Google has a new small flagship, the vanilla model brings key improvements over its predecessor with 12GB of RAM and a 50MP ultra wide camera.
It’s impressive how good the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is in its second iteration.
