The new Pixel 9 Series is powered by the the fourth generation of Google silicon, Tensor G4, Google’s fastest and most efficient chip yet, optimized to run even the largest and most complex mobile ML models. In addition to its AI capabilities, Pixel continues to offer an iconic design, a best-in-class camera experience, and a host of brand-new features.
The Pixel 9 series come with AI enhanced features to help you take the best photos, and also help you out in your daily life. On top of favourites like Best Take and Audio Magic Eraser, look out for the new Add Me feature which allows the photographer to be in the photo by merging two pictures together, Auto Frame which generates options to better frame a photo you’ve already captured, and Reimagine to change any part of the photo by typing in a prompt of what you would like to see.
Other AI features include Pixel Screenshots to help you to save, organise and recall information, as well as an built-in assistant in the form of Gemini, which allows you to find info from your Google apps, or what’s on your screen. Owners of the new 9 Pro devices will also receive a one-year Google One AI Premium plan, to have access to even more powerful AI features and try Gemini directly in your favourite Google products.
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.
