Pixel Pro 9 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold presented ahead of possible new leaks and month away from official launch

With a month to go before their official launch, Google has given early glimpses of both the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Eager to ease customer anticipation, the tech giant shared teaser videos revealing their new mobile devices' designs. This is prepared by SSP.

Pixel 9 Pro

Google's 30-second teaser introduces the Pixel 9 Pro's design, emphasizing its screen, side railing, and noticeable rear camera array. Unlike its predecessor, the Pixel 8 Pro, which featured a curvier and softer design, the Pixel 9 Pro adopts a look more akin to an iPhone with flat back glass and sharp metallic edges. The camera array remains prominent, evoking a ‘RoboCop’ visor appearance without blending into the phone's edges. It's speculated that this early reveal might be a tactical response to previously leaked images by a Taiwanese regulator, but some suggest it might have been planned weeks in advance. The Pixel 9 Pro is poised to usher in a "new era of phones," potentially showcasing advanced integration with Google’s Gemini AI chatbot. However, detailed hardware specs and AI capabilities remain under wraps for now, aside from the inclusion of the next-gen Tensor G4 chipset; its specific AI enhancements are still unknown.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Shortly after unveiling the Pixel 9 Pro, Google shifted focus to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, integrating another brief Gemini-centric teaser video. Despite previous leaks already shedding some light on its design and name, Google's teaser cements the foldable device's features, highlighting its double-stacked rear camera lenses, outer display, and hinge. For a complete understanding of its specs and modifications from earlier Fold models, fans will have to wait until Google’s hardware event on August 13th. This event is set to showcase four phones, including the aforementioned models along with the Pixel Watch 3.

Interested customers are encouraged to visit Google’s online store to sign up for updates on the Pixel 9 lineup. Initially focusing on the Pixel 9 Pro, the page now also features the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, ensuring enthusiasts stay informed ahead of their launch.
