Even though the Pixel 9 series is still a few months away, Google’s track record of not being able to keep secrets has once again proved true as a lot of information about the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro has been leaked. So, here’s everything you need to know about the Pixel 9 Pro.
When will the Pixel 9 series launch?
Although Google has not officially confirmed any date, reports suggest that the company may unveil the new device in October. Pixel 9 series
Pixel 9 Pro: Design and display
Despite being a few months away from launch, the Pixel 9 Pro renders are already here, and the design is interesting, to say the least. It seems that the company is following the path of Samsung and removing every curve of the phone. According to the renders, the Pixel 9 Pro will include a flat display and back, measuring 162.7 x 76.6 x 8.5 mm.
However, perhaps the most interesting thing about the design is the camera. After establishing its identity with the camera visor, Google is moving away and replacing it with a simple horizontal camera bump, as seen on the Pixel Fold.
As for the display, the Pixel 9 Pro will feature a 6.5-inch QHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display with a center punch-hole camera and symmetrical bezels.
Pixel 9 Series: Specifications
The performance of the Pixels has been a bit controversial ever since Google switched to its Tensor chips. This is because the Tensor chip allows Google to customize the phone, but raw performance is often lacking, making it a difficult choice for gamers.

Camera
While most rumors currently point to a new Samsung ISOCELL GNV main camera sensor, the focus will once again be on AI features. However, it’s important to note that the specifications of the ultrawide and periscope lenses are unclear at the time of writing.
Software
Google’s strong point has always been software, and the same will be true for the Pixel 9 series. While specifics about Android 14 are scarce, Google is working on a new AI assistant called Pixie. Powered by Gemini, the AI assistant will replace Google Assistant and will run natively on the Pixel 9 series, without requiring an internet connection. Additionally, the new Assistant will be able to source data from apps like Maps and Gmail to personalize the experience even more.
Battery and Charging
Although the battery capacity is unclear, the phone will reportedly include the Quick wireless charging standard, which will allow the phone to be charged using a MagSafe-like magnetic puck.
How much will Pixel 9 Pro cost?
Following the price increase of the Pixel 8 series, the Pixel 9 Pro will reportedly maintain the same price point, i.e. $999. However, this information may change as more details about the device emerge
