With National Google Day around the corner on September 15th, what better way to mark the occasion than by diving into the latest from the Made by Google event? Whether you’re eyeing the sleek Pixel 9, the powerhouse Pixel 9 Pro, or the game-changing Pixel 9 Pro Fold, there’s something for everyone. Let’s explore what makes the Pixel 9 series stand out this year!

 

Pixel 9.

 

 

The Google Pixel 9 is packed with impressive features and specs. It boasts a 6.3-inch Actua display that’s both bright and sharp, running at up to 120 Hz for smooth gaming and scrolling. Driven by the Google Tensor G4 chip and 12 GB of RAM, it delivers swift performance for all your needs. Its battery lasts over 24 hours and can reach 55% charge in just 30 minutes. The Pixel 9 is also built to last with durable, damage-resistant glass and a sleek, curved frame.

Its standout features include the advanced Pixel Camera, which excels in any lighting condition. The 50 MP wide camera and Night Sight ensure vivid low-light photos, while Real Tone captures skin tones authentically. AI tools such as Best Take and Magic Editor enhance your photos and scenes effortlessly. With Gemini, your AI assistant, you can quickly summarize messages, find information, and receive real-time help. Additionally, the Pixel 9 offers seven years of OS and security updates, keeping your device up-to-date and secure.

Pixel 9 Pro & Pixel 9 Pro XL.

 

 

The Google Pixel 9 Pro brings together cutting-edge technology and sophisticated design. Available in 6.3-inch and 6.8-inch sizes, it features a satin matte back, a polished metal frame, and a dual-finish camera bar. The Super Actua display is the brightest ever on a Pixel, with a 120 Hz refresh rate for fluid visuals. Powered by the Google Tensor G4 chip and 16 GB of RAM, it provides top-tier performance and long-lasting battery life, charging to 55% in around 30 minutes.

Photography is a highlight with its triple rear camera system: a 50 MP main camera for detailed shots, a 48 MP telephoto lens for up to 30x zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide lens for expansive views and macro photography. The 42 MP front camera ensures sharp selfies. The Pixel 9 Pro also supports 8K video and Night Sight Video for excellent low-light performance. AI features like Gemini enhance your experience, from photo editing with “Add Me” and “Best Take” to ongoing updates with seven years of OS and security support.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

 

 

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold combines cutting-edge design with exceptional multitasking capabilities. Its sleek, ultra-thin matte glass finish, redesigned Camera Bar, and scratch-resistant 8-inch Actua Flex inner display offer a sophisticated look and durability. When folded, the 6.3-inch Actua outer display provides convenient access to notifications and quick tasks.

Multitasking is a breeze with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The expansive inner display allows for effortless split-screen use, letting you drag and drop images, videos, links, and text between apps. Dual Screen support also makes translating conversations in different languages more fluid and intuitive, as translations appear on both the inner and outer screens. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold excels in photography as well, featuring a 48 MP main camera for vibrant low-light shots, a 10.5 MP ultrawide lens with Macro Focus for detailed wide-angle images, and a 10.8 MP telephoto lens with 5x zoom for capturing distant subjects. For videos, it supports Night Sight Video and hands-free astrophotography.

Gemini, the built-in AI assistant, enhances productivity by summarising information, finding details quickly, and remembering saved items. With the Google Tensor G4 chip and 16 GB of RAM, along with seven years of OS and security updates, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold delivers powerful performance and innovative features for both work and play.

Favourite feature?  Android itself which is based on a version of the stable Linux kernel.  That foundation gives the basis to build the rest of the system so that it really does "Just Work!"
