The new Pixel 9 phones bring you the best of Google AI

Meet our new phones: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. Along with Pixel 9 Pro Fold, they are all powered by our brand new Google Tensor G4 chip to bring you the very best of Pixel.

Sleek design that fits comfortably in your hand

The Pixel 9 phones have an elevated new look that puts the camera front and center with an evolution of our iconic camera bar. The sculpted design is stunning — and also feels good in your hand. They also feature updated finishes, with a silky matte glass back and polished metal sides for a distinctly premium feel. Plus, the phones are twice as durable as Pixel 8.

For the first time, our Pro model comes in two different sizes: Pixel 9 Pro (6.3”) and Pixel 9 Pro XL (6.8”).¹ Both have our best and brightest Super Actua displays yet, and a new 42 MP front camera so you’ll get sharper and brighter selfies in low light.² And other than display size, charging speed and power, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL share all the same specs and features.

Pixel 9 is packed with upgrades. With its 6.3-inch Actua display, Pixel 9 is 35% brighter than Pixel 8 and has been rated the best display in its class.³ As for the camera, you’re getting the same main and ultrawide cameras as Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. That’s a huge upgrade for the ultrawide lens, from 12MP on Pixel 8 to 48MP on Pixel 9. And the front camera now has autofocus for even sharper selfies. Plus, the Pixel 9 has approximately 20% longer battery life during active use with the screen on when compared to Pixel 8.⁴

To top it off, all the Pixel 9 phones get even better over time — each phone comes with seven years of OS, Pixel Drops and security updates.⁵

AI helpfulness, powered by Google Tensor G4

Our Pixel 9 phones are powered by our new custom silicon: Tensor G4. It’s our most efficient chip yet⁶ and was designed to improve everyday use cases, like opening apps more quickly or browsing the web.

Tensor G4 was designed with Google DeepMind and is optimized to run our most advanced AI models. It will be the first processor to run Gemini Nano with Multimodality — which helps your phone understand text, images and audio.

To make sure the AI-powered experiences on your device run smoothly, we’ve upgraded the memory across the entire Pixel 9 family, with 12GB of RAM for Pixel 9 and 16GB for Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.⁷

Gemini Live helps you get the answers you need

At Google I/O we announced a new way to interact with Gemini more naturally: Gemini Live,⁸ which will be available to all Gemini Advanced subscribers. That includes Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold owners, who will all get a year of Gemini Advanced with their purchase.

Gemini Live lets you have a free-flowing conversation with Gemini — right from your phone or Pixel Buds. So whether you’re trying to plan a fun tailgate, need help thinking through household repairs, or want help brainstorming gift ideas, Gemini Live will offer a new level of help in a more intuitive, natural way.

Pixel Studio is a canvas for your creativity

Pixel Studio is a first-of-its-kind image generator. So now you can bring all ideas to life from scratch, right on your phone — a true creative canvas.⁹

It’s powered by combining an on-device diffusion model running on Tensor G4 and our Imagen 3 text-to-image model in the cloud. With a UI optimized for easy prompting, style changes and editing, you can quickly bring your ideas to conversations with friends and family.

Pixel Screenshots to remember more without doing more

Ever screenshot something on your phone that you want to remember, but then can’t find it when you need it? Pixel Screenshots, an exclusive app for Pixel 9, helps you save, organize and recall important information you want to remember for later.¹⁰

Let’s say your friend, who loves squirrels, has a birthday coming up. You may browse Google Chrome for a gift for them, screenshotting squirrel shirts, squirrel coasters and everything else squirrel-related you think they might like. Pixel Screenshots will analyze the content of all those images and make the information searchable for you in the app. So all you’ll need to do is open the app and search for “squirrel,” and these results will pop up. Even better, it will include links to where you found everything and a summary of what you’re looking at with relevant information.

Better weather app

One of the most common things people do on their phones is check the weather, so we’ve used AI to make that experience more helpful and delightful.The Pixel Weather app is beautifully designed with super accurate weather forecasts. And Gemini Nano will generate a custom AI weather report to get you a sense of the day’s weather.

More camera improvements for stunning photos and videos

With outstanding camera performance and a re-engineered imaging pipeline, your photos and videos will more accurately capture the world around you. We've also added AI features to help you perfect the shot — from getting everyone in the group photo to capturing zoomed-in videos.

There's usually the one designated photographer who’s left out of group pictures. With Add Me you’ll get a photo with everyone who was there — photographer included — without having to pack a tripod or ask a stranger for help.¹¹

We’ve rebuilt Panorama to give detailed shots — even in low light. It’s the highest-quality low-light panorama on any smartphone.

Magic Editor in Google Photos has new editing capabilities so you can get the shot you want. Auto frame lets you reframe a photo for better composition, and you can reimagine your photos by simply typing what you want to see — like adding wildflowers to an open field — so you can bring your ideas to life.

Video Boost — available on all Pro phones — is even better, processing Night Sight Videos twice as fast once videos are uploaded. And for Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, you can use the 48MP 5x telephoto to record high-resolution zoom videos all the way to 20x with Super Res Zoom Video.

Clearer calls and easier note-taking

Clear Calling further improves audio quality¹², and the new Call Notes feature sends you a private summary and full transcript of your phone call shortly after you hang up.¹³ So the next time you get that call back from your mechanic, you won’t have to scramble for a pen and paper. To protect privacy, Call Notes runs fully on-device and everyone on the call will be notified if you have activated the feature.

Satellite SOS for emergency help — even off the grid

Our newest Pixel 9 devices are the first Android phones to include our new Satellite SOS, so you can contact emergency responders via satellite¹⁴ and share your location, even without cellular service. Satellite SOS will be available first in the U.S. on Pixel 9 devices, regardless of your carrier plan. And for the first two years on Pixel, it will be available at no extra cost.
