Sleek design that fits comfortably in your hand
The Pixel 9 phones have an elevated new look that puts the camera front and center with an evolution of our iconic camera bar. The sculpted design is stunning — and also feels good in your hand. They also feature updated finishes, with a silky matte glass back and polished metal sides for a distinctly premium feel. Plus, the phones are twice as durable as Pixel 8.
Pixel 9 is packed with upgrades. With its 6.3-inch Actua display, Pixel 9 is 35% brighter than Pixel 8 and has been rated the best display in its class. As for the camera, you’re getting the same main and ultrawide cameras as Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
That’s a huge upgrade for the ultrawide lens, from 12MP on Pixel 8 to 48MP on Pixel 9. And the front camera now has autofocus for even sharper selfies. Plus, the Pixel 9 has approximately 20% longer battery life during active use with the screen on when compared to Pixel 8.4 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.
AI helpfulness, powered by Google Tensor G4
Our Pixel 9 phones are powered by our new custom silicon: Tensor G4. It’s our most efficient chip yet6 and was designed to improve everyday use cases, like opening apps more quickly or browsing the web. 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. To make sure the AI-powered experiences on your device run smoothly, we’ve upgraded the memory across the entire Pixel 9 family, with 12GB of RAM for Pixel 9 and 16GB for Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
