In response to recent rumors, Google has confirmed the existence of two models in its upcoming Pixel lineup. Videos show a preview of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
In the world of tech, it is very difficult to keep information secret without leaks emerging. Even Google is no exception! In recent days, the new Pixel 9 smartphone range has been the target of many rumors. However, contrary to appearances, the American firm has transformed this situation into an advantage and has opted for a bold approach.
On July 18, 2024, Google offered a preview of what will be the next model of the Google Pixel 9 Pro. A video that revealed some small visual details of what should be the design of the smartphone. Viewers were able to see the back of the Pixel 9 Pro, characterized by a flat-edged aesthetic similar to that of theiPhone. But it is at the level of the photography sensors that they were able to glimpse the presence of three camera lenses, which will surely be the configuration at the time of the official announcement.
Google didn’t dwell on the images of the Pixel 9 Pro, preferring to highlight another essential aspect: Artificial Intelligence. With a touch of humor, the American company highlighted the major role that AI and the Gemini assistant will play within the Pixel 9 series. If this teaser focuses only on the Pixel 9 Pro model, it will be interesting to see if some AI options will be exclusive to it.
And since Google likes to surprise its users, they haven’t seen the end of their discoveries. After a first video posted early in the day on July 18, a second video appeared a few hours later. This time, it didn’t concern the Pixel 9 Pro but another very surprising model: the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. A video that takes up the same principle as the first by emphasizing once again the importance of AI and Gemini within the smartphone. The curious were also treated to 5 short seconds, more than enough to get a glimpse of the edges that are significantly thinner than the previous model. The American firm therefore seems to be announcing the arrival of a new model of smartphones foldables, and definitively bury hopes around the Pixel Fold 2.
We’ll have to wait a few more weeks before we know all the specifics surrounding the Pixel 9 range. Google is inviting all high-tech enthusiasts and the curious to its event on Tuesday, August 13, 2024 at 10 a.m. (Pacific Time).
