My choice would be the ability to take a ‘good’ photo. If you are like me and don’t have an artistic eye, you end up with a lot of snaps you just scroll through, looking for that elusive ‘the one’. The new AI features that are available on this phone now means, that you can turn nearly all those snaps into works of art. I said nearly, there still isn't a way to turn the close up of a sunburnt leg into a Rembrandt, but hey Google, prove me wrong!

I like the AI and the fact I could get some good looking ear buds

ALL features/design of the new Google Pixel 9 family are an improvement to what I have!

As I can only afford older model mobile phones or get old ‘hand me downs’ from family members then this would blow my mind (and probably confuse me as well 🙄).
I currently have a SG J4+ (2018) which I got from my sister and even though it ‘suits me fine’ I would love to be able to take advantage of up-to-date technology and to see what I am missing out on!
Ah well, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride!😁

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.

It's got to be the new live AI feature allowing you to have real-time conversations with Gemini and the add me photo feature where you can add the person to a group photo who took the picture!!!

I have the Pixel 9 XL and the winner of all the new features is the screenshot reminders. This genius little feature reminds you to go back and look at your screenshots at a later time. So, whether you've captured a to-do list, meeting notes, or even just a funny meme you want to share later, the Pixel has your back. It's like having a personal assistant for your screenshots! No more missed appointments, forgotten tasks, or lost inspiration. The phone is turning screenshots into actionable steps, and honestly, it's a game-changer! Absolutely love it! 😍😎

I'm loving everything about it. The camera, proceeding speed and great battery life. It feels smooth. Only odd thing about it is the way the camera lenses pop out

I really like the new design. Thats what made me order it. The rest of the stuff is nice to have with the faster fingerprint reader, better AI features and longer battery life. But the design will be a nice change from the Pixel 7 Pro

Numerous features look great in particular the Add Me to photos looks amazing. Although not a feature as such the promise of updates for 7 years means I can rest easy that an upgrade will not be necessary for a long time ❤️❤️❤️
