Google Pixel 9 Series Devices

The Pixel 9 and its Pro siblings flaunt a sleek, sculpted design that feels as good as it looks. They have a silky matte glass back and polished metal sides. The Pixel camera bar has evolved, putting the camera front and center, and these phones are now twice as durable as the Pixel 8.

All models have upgraded memory, offering 12GB of RAM on the Pixel 9 and 16GB on the Pro versions.

Google Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL

For those who love options, the Pro model now comes in two sizes: the 6.3″ Pixel 9 Pro and the 6.8″ Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Both feature Google’s brightest Super Actua displays and a new 42-megapixel front camera for crisp, bright selfies even in low light.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro models pack serious camera power and are designed to turn anyone into a pro photographer. The main camera is a 50-megapixel wide lens with an f/1.68 aperture, which means it’s great at capturing bright, detailed photos, even in tricky lighting. With an 82-degree field of view and a large 1/1.31″ image sensor, it ensures that your shots are not only sharp but also have plenty of depth and richness.

But the Pixel 9 Pro models don’t stop there. They have a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera with Quad PD autofocus and an f/1.7 aperture. This lens offers a 123-degree field of view, so you can easily capture expansive landscapes or fit a large group into a single shot. The smaller 1/2.55″ image sensor size is optimized to balance wide-angle shots with impressive clarity and minimal distortion.

For those who love getting up close without losing quality, the 48-megapixel telephoto lens is the star. With an f/2.8 aperture and a 22-degree field of view, this camera allows for 5X optical zoom, bringing distant subjects into sharp focus. And when you need even more zoom, the Pixel 9 Pro offers Super Res Zoom up to 30X, meaning you can capture far-off details with stunning precision, all thanks to the powerful 1/2.55″ image sensor.

Under the hood, the Pixel 9 also packs major upgrades. Its 6.3″ Actua display is 35% brighter than the Pixel 8, earning it top marks in its class. The camera system is a serious leap forward, too, with the ultrawide lens jumping from 12-megapixels to 48-megapixels, and the 10.5-megapixel front camera now includes autofocus for even sharper selfies.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, a new addition to the lineup, takes things up a notch with its massive inner display, which, at 8″, is the largest on any mobile device. It’s the thinnest foldable phone Google has ever made, featuring a fluid-friction hinge that easily opens flat.

With a display that’s 80% brighter than the Pixel Fold and an IPX8 rating for water resistance, this phone is built for durability and visibility, no matter where you are.

The foldable form factor allows for multitasking with Split Screen paired apps, Dual Screen with Google Meet, and more. The camera system is equally impressive, with an ultra-thin advanced triple rear camera setup and new features like Made You Look, which is perfect for getting kids to smile at the camera.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s large screen offers entertainment lovers an immersive experience, whether watching multiple events on YouTube TV or playing optimized games like Asphalt Unite.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold isn’t just a tablet that folds into a regular-sized phone—it’s a photography powerhouse that fits in your pocket. At the heart of its advanced triple rear camera system is a 48-megapixel wide lens, designed to capture crisp, vibrant photos with a 1/2″ image sensor that excels in low-light situations. With an f/1.7 aperture and an 82-degree field of view, this camera is built to handle everything from sweeping landscapes to detailed close-ups.

For those who love capturing the bigger picture, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 10.5-megapixel ultrawide camera is a game-changer. It features Dual Pixel autofocus and an f/2.2 aperture, making it perfect for snapping expansive scenes or fitting the whole group into a single shot. With a 127-degree field of view and a 1/3.4″ image sensor, your ultrawide photos will be sharp and detailed, no matter the lighting conditions.

The telephoto camera on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is no slouch either. It’s a 10.8-megapixel lens with 5X optical zoom, allowing you to get up close and personal without losing quality. With an f/3.1 aperture and a 23-degree field of view, this camera is built to bring distant subjects into sharp focus. And when you need even more reach, the Super Res Zoom feature pushes that up to 20X, ensuring that no detail is too far away.

Inside the Google Pixel 9 Series

At the heart of these devices is Google’s new custom chip, the Tensor G4, which Google has developed to be efficient yet but also a powerhouse for AI-driven features.

Developed with Google DeepMind, the Tensor G4 is the first processor to run Gemini Nano with Multimodality, enabling the phone to understand text, images, and audio more intuitively. Whether opening apps faster or browsing the web, the Pixel 9 series is designed to make everyday tasks smoother.

Google has infused AI into every layer of the Pixel 9 series’ technology stack, making the experience more helpful and personal. With Gemini deeply integrated into Android, the Pixel 9 series redefines what a phone can do, allowing you to interact with your device in more natural, conversational ways.

Whether you’re asking questions about what’s on your screen or generating images directly from an overlay, Gemini is there to assist. And for those who want to go deeper, Gemini Live offers a conversational experience that lets you chat about anything from brainstorming ideas to planning a fun weekend.

With Google’s latest AI advancements, the Pixel 9 series is a powerful tool that keeps getting smarter, more helpful, and more personal with every update.
