Google Introduces Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL
Following the announcement of the basic Pixel 9, Google introduced more powerful models – Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. In general, they are identical, but each has its own “highlights”.
The Pixel 9 Pro has a 6.3-inch display, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL has a 6.8-inch screen. Both use Super Actua panels, which provide a high level of screen brightness and a 120 Hz refresh rate. There is a circular hole at the top of the screen, which houses a 42-megapixel front camera with a 103º viewing angle. The main camera is based on a 50-megapixel sensor, which is complemented by a 48 MP ultra-wide-angle module and a 48 MP telephoto lens. The main camera provides 8K video recording at up to 30 fps with support for Video Bust and Super Res Zoom. Other features such as Night Sight Video, Audio Magic Eraser, Macro Focus Video, etc. have also migrated from last year’s flagship to the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Both smartphones received support for proprietary AI functions, which are united under the general name Google AI. These include the Gemini Live function, which allows you to conduct conversations with an improved voice assistant. In addition, 10 new assistant voices have appeared. With the help of Pixel Studio, you can generate and edit images using text prompts, which makes it possible not only to create new pictures, but also to change the images already on the device.
The smartphones come in four colors: porcelain, rose quartz, obsidian, and Hazel. The devices will go on sale with Android 14. Google promises to support the devices with Android updates for seven years. The price of the Pixel 9 Pro starts at $ 1,000, the XL – $ 1,100.
