Google Pixel 9: What we want to see

Over the years, Google has steadily grown into a institution well-known for its smartphones. These are often the enthusiast's pick, offering large worth for money, unthinkable camera performance, absorbing features and a bundle acquisition that nary of the competitors adjacent travel adjacent to matching.

The latest procreation of Pixels, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, made rather a splash. It erstwhile again delivered fantabulous performance, a best-in-class camera with unthinkable AI features, arsenic good arsenic a bully plan - and each that with large prices to match. So, it shouldn't travel arsenic a astonishment that, adjacent conscionable a fewer abbreviated weeks aft their release, we're already excited astir the adjacent generation.

On the 1 manus - nary telephone is genuinely perfect, truthful we bash person immoderate ideas connected how the caller Pixel 9 bid mightiness beryllium improved, and we anticipation to spot them implemented successful the caller models. On the different hand, determination are already rather a fewer rumors going astir astir what Google is readying to woo america with next, contempt the telephone astir apt arriving successful the 2nd fractional of 2024. So strap in, and here's everything we cognize and everything we privation from the upcoming Google Pixel 9 and Google Pixel 9 Pro.

Google Pixel 8 Pro

If you don't privation to hold for the adjacent generation, the Google Pixel 8 Pro is among the champion Android phones disposable today.

Google Pixel 9: What we privation to spot

The woody with modern smartphones is that astir of them are truly rather bully enough, particularly each the flagships from the likes of Apple, Samsung oregon Google. That's why, nowadays, we mostly get iterative, yearly updates - for now, astatine least, determination are nary large revolutions to person anymore.

However, this deficiency of large changes does not mean that phones bash not alteration year-to-year - they evolve, making smaller steps towards improving our acquisition adjacent more. So, let's spot what steps we'd similar Google Pixel 9 to instrumentality successful bid to code the shortcomings of its (already truly great) predecessor:

Faster charging

You can't unrecorded without accelerated charging erstwhile you've experienced it. Unfortunately, Pixel phones are not truly known for their charging speeds, maxing retired astatine a specified 30W for Pixel 8 Pro - that's thing compared to the 100W+ speeds of immoderate Chinese competitors.

With its caller Pixel lineup, Google could amended its charging technology, allowing users to capable their batteries overmuch quicker, which successful crook means little clip plugged successful and much clip to bash immoderate you privation connected your phone.

Better performance

Google Pixel phones, starting with the Pixel 6 line, person Google's ain SoCs inside, called Google Tensor. These chips are focused connected AI and instrumentality learning performance, making them large astatine what Google does champion - each the AI trickery.

Google/ Pocket-lint

However, sometimes you conscionable request a small spot of brute force, and that's thing that Tensor lacks a small bit. Sure, it's inactive a almighty flagship chip, but it pales successful examination to Qualcomm's oregon Apple's offerings.

With its caller Tensor, it would beryllium large if Google improved its performance, particularly considering what Apple has been doing with its mobile chips that are present susceptible of moving modern AAA games.

Better artillery life

The different happening that Google could amended connected is artillery life. Don't get maine incorrect - the Pixel's artillery beingness (aside from the accursed Pixel 4) has been beauteous solid, but astatine the aforesaid clip - it's thing retired of the ordinary. Google's phones comfortably beryllium successful the mediate of the pack, offering capable artillery to past you a day. Improving it, combined with faster charging and a faster SoC, could marque for an astir cleanable phone.

Another Pixel size?

Around the clip of the Pixel 8 lineup release, determination person been rumors astir 1 much telephone yet coming to the market. Google was supposedly considering including a smaller Pro mentation successful its aboriginal lineup, making the existent Pixel Pro into a benignant of Pixel Pro Max. This caller size could beryllium a tad bigger than the regular Pixel, with the added payment of amended cameras recovered connected the Pro. If specified a bundle existed, and with a terms tag to match, sitting successful betwixt the "big Pro" and the regular Pixel, Google could person rather a large telephone connected their hands.

How overmuch volition Google Pixel 9 cost?

With the Pixel 8 series, Google accrued the terms of some models by $100. However, earlier that, the prices of the company's phones had been holding dependable astatine the aforesaid level for a fewer years. That's wherefore we are not truly expecting the terms to emergence supra what we've seen this year:

• Google Pixel 8: $699
• Google Pixel 8 Pro: $999

Therefore, we're expecting the Google Pixel 9 to deed the $699 mark, portion the bigger Google Pixel 9 Pro volition astir apt beryllium sold for $999. Of course, these are conscionable speculations for now, but Google is mostly trying to support the prices of their phones nether what their contention (particularly Apple) offers. So, these terms tags are looking spot-on to support doing that adjacent year.

Google Pixel 9 leaks: here's everything we cognize truthful acold

We're not expecting the caller Pixel phones to driblet for rather a fewer months now, seeing arsenic the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro person conscionable been released successful October. However, that's not stopping Google from moving connected the caller generation, arsenic good arsenic leakers providing america with glimpses into the improvement process and immoderate invaluable info astir the upcoming changes. So far, we tin beryllium definite that the caller phones volition get astir October 2024, and they volition vessel with Android 15. Here's everything other that has leaked truthful far:

Google Pixel 9 specs: not arsenic accelerated arsenic we'd hoped

One of the biggest expectations considering the Pixel 9 lineup was the caller Tensor G4 processor, which was expected to beryllium overmuch amended and faster than its predecessor successful AI-related calculations and successful accepted CPU and GPU power.

Unfortunately, this seems to beryllium the lawsuit nary longer. As per Android Authority, Google was readying to physique the upcoming Tensor G4 from the crushed up alternatively of relying connected Samsung's chips, arsenic was the lawsuit with erstwhile Tensor SoCs. However, it appears that the institution could marque it successful time, and the upcoming Pixel enactment volition erstwhile again beryllium utilizing Tensor chips based connected modified Samsung designs.

This means not lone a antithetic architecture than what Google had intended but besides a antithetic manufacturing process - Google was readying connected moving to TSMC's 4 nm process, which powers, among others, the newest M3 chips recovered successful the caller Macs. Being stuck with Samsung's plan means that the caller Tensor volition astir most apt beryllium yet different iterative update, bringing astir show gains akin to the quality betwixt the Tensor G1 vs. Tensor G2.

But bash not fret - Google is not abandoning its customized spot dream; it is conscionable delaying it for 1 year. If each works out, we tin expect afloat customized Tensor SoCs to beryllium included successful Pixel phones conscionable successful clip for the line's 10th anniversary.

Of course, Google volition besides enactment its magic and springiness america plentifulness of caller AI-based features and show optimizations, truthful Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro volition not beryllium slouches by immoderate means.

Google Pixel 9 camera: it's (probably) each astir the bundle this clip

The Pixel 8 lineup made rather a disturbance erstwhile it came to the camera section of Google's phones. It brought with it a caller 50MP main sensor and Pixel 8 Pro besides got improved ultrawide and telephoto shooters, making hardware the sanction of the crippled for that procreation - of course, complemented by Google's signature AI.

Therefore, we expect the upcoming procreation to instrumentality to the tried sensors. Fortunately, Google has shown clip and clip again that they tin bash rather a batch with the aforesaid camera sensor, truthful if you're expecting camera improvements, this quality should not interest you astatine all.

What's more, earlier the merchandise of the Pixel 8, 9to5Google released accusation astir immoderate camera features that were supposedly coming to the then-upcoming phone. However, the astir absorbing of them - Video Unblur - did not find its mode to the Pixel 8 line, truthful we're expecting it to look erstwhile the adjacent procreation hits the shelves.

Google Pixel 9 display: Is it getting bigger?

For years, Pixel phones came successful 2 sizes - a tiny 1 and a large one. However, with the Pixel 6 onwards, this inclination changed into a mean 1 and a immense one, to the disappointment of small-phone enthusiasts.

It seems that Google is going afloat steam up connected the big-phone path, arsenic the expert Ross Young is claiming that the upcoming Pixel phones are going to person bigger displays.

Unfortunately, helium does not truly supply immoderate much accusation astir the upcoming sizes. Do support successful caput that making the surface bigger does not needfully mean that the caller phones volition beryllium bigger arsenic good - Google mightiness conscionable minimize the bezels connected the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, making their screens larger portion maintaining the wide signifier origin of the caller phones.

These are each the rumors that we've managed to get a clasp of truthful far. These are inactive aboriginal days, truthful much volition surely beryllium coming arsenic the merchandise day of the upcoming Pixel phones approaches - that is, determination astir October 2024. Of course, you person to besides support successful caput that until these phones are released, each of these are conscionable speculations, and each the rumors mightiness not really travel true. However, with a large way grounds of immoderate of the leakers, astatine slightest immoderate of them whitethorn beryllium accurate.
