After tons of leaks, Google has finally revealed its new Pixel 9 family of smartphones. This time, there will be three models: the Google Pixel 9, the very similar Pixel 9 Pro, and the large Pixel 9 Pro XL.
In a blog post, Google confirmed the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro will have 6.3-inch displays. However, the Pro model will support up to 3,000 nits of brightness compared to the 2,700 nits for the standard Pixel 9. Both phones have a 50 MP normal rear camera and a 48 MP ultrawide rear camera, and the Pixel 9 Pro will have an additional 48 MP telephoto camera. The Pixel 9 Pro XP has a larger 6.8 display but with the same three rear cameras as the smaller Pixel 9 Pro.
All three phones will include Google's new in-house Tensor G4 processor. Google's blog says:
Tensor G4 was designed with Google DeepMind and is optimized to run our most advanced AI models. It will be the first processor to run Gemini Nano with Multimodality — which helps your phone understand text, images and audio.
The standard Pixel 9 has 12GB of RAM, and the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL have 16 GB of RAM.

The Google Store has launched preorders for these new phones, with prices starting at $799 for the Pixel 9, $899 for the Pixel 9 Pro and $1,099 for the Pixel 9 Pro XL.
