The Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL are a group of Android smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Google as part of the Google Pixel product line. They serve as the successor to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, respectively. Sporting a redesigned appearance and powered by the fourth-generation Google Tensor system-on-chip, the phones are heavily integrated with Gemini-branded artificial intelligence features.

The Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL were officially announced on August 13, 2024, at the annual Made by Google event, and will be released in the United States on August 22 and September 4.

History

[edit]
The Pixel 9 (R) and 9 Pro XL (L), both in "Porcelain" color

The Pixel 9 series was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in July 2024.[3] After previewing the Pro model the same month,[4][5] Google officially announced the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL on August 13, alongside the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel Watch 3, at the annual Made by Google event.[6] Multiple observers noted the unusually early timing of the launch event, which was traditionally held in October after Apple's annual launch of the new iPhone. Commentators described this as an attempt to "outshine" Apple, its longtime rival, and demonstrate its artificial intelligence prowess.[7][8][9] All three phones became available for pre-order the same day; the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL will be available on August 22 while the Pro will be available on September 4, the latter alongside the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.[10]

Pixel Screenshots

[edit]

In August 2024, Google announced a new AI-powered app called Pixel Screenshots for its Pixel 9 series that allows users to save, organize, and recover information from screenshots.[12]

The feature uses Google’s on-device Gemini Nano AI model to analyse the contents of the screenshots, make it searchable, and resurface it.[13][14]
