How about that for a plot twist – the Google Pixel Pro now comes in a compact size! Today, Google took the wraps off the new Pixel 9 Pro<\/a> with a 6.3-inch display, alongside the successor of its last year’s flagship, which is now called Pixel 9 Pro XL<\/a> with a 6.8-inch display.<\/p>\n Those displays are both high-brightness (up to 3,000 nits) Super Actua LTPO units with a 1-120Hz refresh rate and a flat Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on top. The 6.3-inch panel on the Pixel 9 Pro has 1280x2856px resolution, while the 6.8-inch Pixel 9 Pro XL screen ups that to 1344x2992px panel.<\/p>\n Both Pixel 9 Pros finally ditch the optical fingerprint scanners for an ultrasonic one, which Google says is 50% faster. Ultrasonic scanners can read your print without the need for a bright burst of light and are generally faster and more reliable.<\/p>\n
The Pixel 9 series design emphasizes flat sides. The Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL both have flat frames with a glossy, polished metal look around the phone and the cameras. The finish contrasts with the rear panel’s matte look.<\/p>\n The two phones look identical, save for the size difference. They also carry identical bars on the back with triple camera setups. <\/p>\n
The Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL feature 50MP 1\/1.31″ wide angle main cameras and a pair of 48MP 1\/2.55″ cameras for the ultrawide and 5x telephoto zoom. All rear cameras benefit from Multi-zone LDAF (laser-assisted focus). At the front Google has upgraded its Pros to a new 42MP selfie camera (likely using the 50MP Samsung 3J1 sensor).<\/p>\n The new Pixel 9 series uses the Tensor G4 chipset – a 4nm unit with 1x Cortex-X4 prime core running at up to 3.1GHz, 3x Cortex-A720 running up to 2.6GHz, and 4x Cortex-A520 cores at up to 1.95GHz, and the Titan M2 security co-processor. Both Pixel 9 Pro models pack 16GB of RAM, while storage starts at 128GB and goes up to 1TB.<\/p>\n One of the big changes in the Tensor G4 is a reported Exynos 5400 modem, which is said to bring better efficiency.<\/p>\n
The Pixel 9 Pro features a 4,700mAh battery while the Pixel 9 Pro XL ups the capacity to 5,060mAh. Both phones support 45W wired charging with 70% charge taking 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Google’s Gemini AI plays a major role in the Pixel 9 Pro series. You can ask Gemini to give you ideas on what to cook based on a photo of your fridge contents, while Magic Editor can remove distractions from photos and even generate a whole scenery in a photo – think dramatic sunset where there’s a dull one.<\/p>\n Pixel Screenshots uses Gemini to identify content across all of your screenshots, so you can then use it to recall information in them.<\/p>\n Circle to Search is also featured on the Pixel 9 Pros – just hold the nav bar at the bottom and then search anything on your screen to get Google results on it. Google promises 7 years of Pixel Drops for the Pixel 9 series.<\/p>\n The Pixel 9 Pro dup comes in four colors – Obsidian, Hazel, Rose Quartz, and Porcelain and you can pre-order them starting today. The Pixel 9 Pro XL will ship from August 22, while the Pixel 9 Pro will be on shelves a bit later – September 4 in the US and September 9 in Europe. Both phones get 1 year of Gemini Advanced and 2TB of cloud storage for free.<\/p>\n The Google Pixel 9 Pro starts from $999\/\u00a3999\/\u20ac1,099 for the 128GB model, then goes to $1,099\/\u00a31,099\/\u20ac1,199 for the 256GB model, and $1,219\/\u20ac1,329 for the 512GB one. <\/p>\n The Pixel 9 Pro XL is normally $1,099\/\u00a31,099\/\u20ac1,199 for the base 128GB model, $1,199\/\u00a31,199\/\u20ac1,299 for 256GB, and $1,319\/\u00a31,319\/\u20ac1,429 for the 512GB model, and \u20ac1,689 for the 1TB model.<\/p>\n There’s a limited time offer for \u00a3100\/\u20ac100 off the 256GB model and \u00a3200\/\u20ac130 off the 512GB model on both phones, and \/\u20ac150 off the 1TB model (\/\u20ac1,429).<\/p>\n
