Google has introduced its new range of Pixel smartphones, including the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and the high-end 9 Pro Fold.
Alphabet’s Google is rolling out upgraded smartphones, watches and earbuds, aiming to take on Apple and Samsung Electronics and offer more ways to use artificial intelligence.
The new devices include the Pixel 9, 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL phones, as well as an upscale folding model called the 9 Pro Fold. Google also unveiled a Pixel Watch 3 in two sizes and the Pixel Buds Pro 2. The new Pixel Watch line includes an XL option, measuring 45 millimeters across, and improved displays that provide a larger active area and can be twice as bright as prior models. Google promises 24 hours of battery life with the always-on display, and the watch will let users interact with delivery people via the company’s Nest Doorbell. The device can be used to control a connected Google TV set as well.
The Pixel Buds are now 27% smaller and 24% lighter, Google said. The $229 earbuds include a new A1 chip for audio processing and will get as much as eight hours of battery life on one charge in noise-canceling mode.The announcements come at an unusual time, as Google has typically updated its flagship Pixel devices in October. This year’s move jumps the company ahead of Apple’s September debut of its iPhone 16 line. Apple is also planning an update to its watches and AirPods.
Google says the device is lighter than its predecessor and has the largest unfolded screen of any foldable phone.
