Made by Google Event on August 13: What to Expect from the Pixel 9 Series smartphone

 


Google is gearing up for its Made by Google event on August 13, where it will showcase its latest hardware innovations. The main attraction will be the Pixel 9 series smartphones, which will feature new designs and multiple models. Expect significant enhancements in camera technology, display quality, and AI capabilities.


Google Pixel 9 Series: Anticipated Features


Models


Google has teased the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, confirming the inclusion of a foldable device in the Pixel 9 lineup. In addition to the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, rumors suggest a third model, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, will also debut. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to have a larger display compared to the Pro model, which will have a display size similar to the base Pixel 9.


Design


The Pixel 9 series will see a major design transformation. The Pixel 9 Pro will feature a flat frame, moving away from the curved edges of previous models. It will also have a floating island-style camera module, detached from the frame, unlike the camera visor design of the Pixel 8 series. The standard Pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro XL are expected to follow this new design trend.


The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will have a distinct square-shaped camera island on the top left, a departure from the traditional camera bar design of earlier Pixel devices. It will also sport a flat frame similar to the Pixel 9 Pro.


Cameras


The Pixel 9 series is set to deliver substantial camera improvements. The standard Pixel 9 is expected to feature a new Sony IMX858 ultra-wide-angle camera sensor with a larger aperture, replacing the existing Sony IMX386. The Pixel 9 is also anticipated to include autofocus for the front camera.


Both the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL are likely to feature the new Sony IMX858 sensor for ultra-wide and telephoto cameras. These Pro models may also include a 50 MP IMX858 sensor for the front camera, representing a significant upgrade. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to come with a 64 MP IMX787 sensor, previously seen in the Pixel 8a, as its main camera.


Display


Continuing the use of Samsung's "Actua" display from the Pixel 8 series, Google is likely to equip the Pixel 9 series with Samsung's OLED panels. Reports indicate that the Pixel 9 series will utilize the same OLED panel that Samsung manufactures for Apple's next-generation iPhones. The new Samsung "M14" OLED panel is expected to be brighter than the current display generation.


According to Android Authority, the standard Pixel 9 will reach a peak HDR brightness of 1,800 nits, while the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL will achieve up to 2,050 nits. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is anticipated to have a taller display, with the inner foldable panel reaching up to 1,600 nits and the outer cover display up to 1,800 nits of peak HDR brightness.


AI Features


The Pixel 9 series is set to introduce several new AI capabilities, including an "Add Me" feature, which enhances the existing "Best Take" feature. A new "Studio" app, combining AI image generation and editing, is also expected. One of the most notable features will be "Pixel Screenshots," functioning similarly to Microsoft's Recall feature for the Copilot+ PC platform. Unlike Recall, which captures everything on the user's screen to create a searchable timeline, Pixel Screenshots will only include user-authorized screenshots.


Additional Improvements


The Pixel 9 series is expected to feature several other enhancements. These include an improved in-display fingerprint sensor, with Google likely switching from a capacitive to an ultrasonic sensor for better speed and reliability. Other upgrades include a new modem for improved network reception and satellite connectivity, introduced with the Android 15 operating system.
