GOOGLE PIXEL 9 SERIES LAUNCH IN AUGUST 2024: ALL DETAILS

Google has begun teasing a Pixel launch event for August 13th. Here, we can expect to see a range of Pixel 9 devices, alongside the Pixel Watch 3 and possibly a Pixel Fold 2. Earlier-than-usual design leaks hinted that Google might be taking a different approach this year, and the August launch confirms those suspicions. This puts Google's unveiling a month ahead of Apple's anticipated iPhone 16 series launch. Pixel fans in India can likely expect the latest flagships to hit the market there as well.

PIXEL 9 SERIES DESIGN LEAK AND POSSIBLE VARIANTS

As mentioned, leaked images of the Pixel 9 series have been circulating online, offering a glimpse of its design and features.

Leaked by the Russian website Rozetked, these images supposedly reveal live photos, features, and specifications of the upcoming Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The leaked images showcase rounded corners and pill-shaped camera bars on the back for all three phones.

The Pixel 9 series is rumored to have four models. The Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are expected to be similar in size, with the Pro variants sporting a matte back and glossy frame, while the standard Pixel 9 has a glossy back and matte frame. Storage-wise, leaks suggest the Pixel 9 will have 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL will boast 16GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

GOOGLE'S CREATIVE ASSISTANT APP: A PIXEL 9 COMPANION?

Google might be launching a new app alongside the Pixel 9 series, with the potential to revolutionize smartphone creativity. Reports suggest this upcoming series will include a new Creative Assistant app that leverages AI to generate personalized stickers. This app seems to be Google's strategic answer to Apple's Genmoji, a similar AI customization feature expected to arrive with iOS 18 later in 2024.
