The fact that Google has a serious leak problem has been evident since details of the Pixel 9 lineup started to leak before the Pixel 8 even launched.
We’ve seen some of the biggest new features since the start of the year, like the new flat-edged design and the new camera “island” that replaces the infamous “clump.” We’ve even recently seen real videos of the Pixel 9. And yes, Pixel 9 pricing has also been leaked.
At Google they must have thought that if you can’t beat the enemy, it’s better to join them, because today they have caused a sensation by officially presenting the new Pixel 9 Pro. In fact, the reader of EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre knows very well that the new Google phones were not going to be presented until the Made by Google event that It will take place on August 13th.
In a video posted on YouTube and in photos published on social media accounts, Google confirms all the leaks; The Pixel 9 Pro is exactly as rumoredthe design change being equally praised and criticized. One of the official photos highlights the camera array, which shows larger sensors than those of the Pixel 8 Pro, indicating an improvement at least in the wide-angle and telephoto lenses. Additionally, the temperature sensor is retained.
Social media posts also make it clear what Google’s priority will be with its new mobile phones: artificial intelligence. The company said the Pixel 9 Pro It’s a mobile “built for the Gemini era”
The presentation is expected to focus mainly on these new features, and perhaps that is why Google has preferred to advance aspects such as the design of mobile phones that will probably not receive as much time during the conference.
In the published video, it is shown how the Pixel 9 Pro is used to ask Gemini to write “a letter to break up” with our old mobile; Google’s bet is that AI functions are a reason to change mobile phones for users satisfied with theirs, and perhaps this is why it could offer Gemini Advanced with the purchase of the Pixel 9 Pro.
For now, the Pixel 9 Pro is the only model Google has unveiled, and it may not be the only one, as the base Pixel 9 was also “officially leaked” later. But let’s remember that on this occasion, the Pixel range will be made up of more devices, with the expected arrival of a Pixel 9 Pro XL with a bigger screen.
On this subject, it is striking that the material published by Google on the Pixel 9 Pro does not show any size references, which may indicate that indeed, this device would have a similar size to the base Pixel 9.
