What Will Be Presented in the Google Pixel 9 Lineup
Insider Kamila Wojciechowska reported to Android Authority about the new lineup of Google Pixel 9 smartphones, which, in addition to the already announced base model and Pro, will include a new foldable phone. The lineup includes:
- 9 – base model named “tokay”;
- 9 – “caiman”;
- 9 Pro XL – “komodo”;
- 9 Pro Fold – “komet”, the name is not final.
Possibly, more models will continue the lineup.
Technical Specifications of Google Pixel 9
Exact specifications are not yet determined. The main technical parameters of the smartphones include the following.
Display Size
According to information from the Google I/O conference in May 2024, the new base model Pixel 9 will have a display of approximately 6.3 inches. The 9 Pro will have a 6.7-inch screen, and the new Pro Fold model will feature a 6.3-inch display. Analyst Ross Young from the research company suggests that the display sizes will be significantly larger. There is no reason to doubt him, as his predictions have always come true so far.
The screen is expected to be Super Actua, using adaptive frequency technology. It will have high resolution, brightness, and color clarity, making the image clearly visible even on sunny days.
According to Android Authority, the screen will feature Adaptive Touch. This means that with decreasing temperatures, it will automatically adjust the display’s sensitivity.
Processor
The new Google Pixel 9 lineup will operate with the new generation Tensor G4 chipset, manufactured with a 4 nm processor code-named “redondo”. It is not designed for significant performance improvement and growth.
It is likely that the amount of RAM and built-in memory will increase. Memory variations include 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB.
An updated AI assistant – Pixie – and a temperature sensor are also expected. The assistant is likely to integrate multimodal functions.
Battery
No exact information about the battery has been announced by any source, so it is expected to have a capacity of at least 5050 mAh. In the previous, eighth model, the battery capacity increased from 5000 to 5050 mAh. With each new model, it increased, so an increase in battery power and lifespan is anticipated. There is no information about the charging speed of the battery. However, Qi2 wireless charging is planned to be implemented.
Camera Block
There is very little information about the cameras. The Google Pixel 9 cameras are likely to be equipped with three lenses, including a square lens with a periscope telephoto lens. It is assumed that such a lens will significantly increase the zoom compared to the 8 model. Most likely, the new model will have a standard wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lens.
It is assumed that the presence of a third lens for telephoto shooting should improve photo quality compared to the 8 version. The source suggests that one of the cameras will have a variable aperture. Together with the flagship model’s large screen, this will be the best phone for photography. The design of the cameras will be more rounded.
