by HERE’S WHAT’S ACTUALLY DIFFERENT ABOUT THE PIXEL 9 PRO. Made By Google The annual Google Made By Google event is Google’s event for the launch of hardware that the company hosts, and it is bringing out a number of different devices that it will showcase. Alongside upgraded version of the Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds, Google also updated its smartphones. In this year’s update, the Google Pixel 9 Pro is being upgraded to a bigger version that is it’s called the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Contrast to that of the Pixel 9, which comes with a standard size, the Pixel 9 Pro will allow you select between either the Pixel 9 Pro with a 6.3-inch screen, or the Pixel 9 Pro XL, that will sport an 6.8-inch screen. In other words (and the size of battery) the other features is identical across both phones.
Google has also increased its focus in AI due to the fact that it’s 2024 and this is exactly what a business has to demonstrate its commitment to … and I mean … creating new ideas. I was at Google’s launch event held in Mountain View, California, and had the opportunity to spend time with the brand new smartphones. What’s new? Google will bring to in 2024 with the Pixel 9 Pro.
New specifications for hardware
Alongside the screen sizes and screen size differences, both the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL come with different capacities for batteries The Pro measuring 4,700 mAh, and that of the Pro XL at 5,060 mAh. Apart from the battery and screen they both have exactly the same specs. Similar to that of the Pixel 9, both phones have wireless and 45W charging. Google hasn’t released information on the latter’s wattage but said it’s Qi-certifie. According to Google that when you charge using cables, users can achieve 50% charge within 30 minutes.
They also come with the Google’s Tensor G4 processor, which is an upgrade of earlier models like the Tensor G3. Google also increased the memory to 16GB for the basic models, with options for storage that range from 128 GB to 1TB. It also removed the Geordi Camera visor from La Forge, which is on the rear of the handset — The camera island remains vertical across the rear and the camera bump stops just before the edges of the phone. I’m disappointed to see that’s the case since I loved the visor, and it was equipped with a separate ramp. It’s not too awful, however I’ll miss the original camera bump certain.
Doing the same thing with AI
Google has been making a push for AI very hard with an entire year’s worth of Google One AI Premium with the purchase of Pixel 9 Pro. This package is premium and provides access to the most advanced version of Google’s artificial intelligence assistant. It will be able to use within Google Docs as well as Gmail. Particularly, you’ll be able make use of it to request Gemini to summarize your documents for you within Google Docs and ensure you are up-to-date regarding your email. Google One AI Premium also offers 2 TB cloud storage.
Additionally, Google has also launched a new app that’s called Google Screenshots — yes it’s a complete app designed to capture screen shots. The thing Google would like you to do is make a photo of the things that you must remember for example, your car’s license plate or invitation to the party. In the future it is possible to make a call to Google, “When is that celebration?” And the Screenshots application will find details you’re looking for in the photo.
What made Google decided to create a separate app for taking screenshots isn’t clear. This seems like a more efficient application of this idea should be built in Google Photos, which is the place where your photos could be. Additionally, when I have to recall something typically, it’s something like my parking number which I’ll typically snap a picture ofbut not as an image. It’s not necessarily a negative issue, however Google is well-known to kill off its products and Screenshots seems like it’s in the process of being snatched away.
The camera is becoming greater AI.
Google is also adding additional AI capabilities to its camera. However, it the company didn’t upgrade the equipment. The new 42-megapixel camera which is quite nice, as well as it has a macro-focus feature that is new using the ultrawide 48-megapixel camera. Apart from that the specifications of the camera for Pixel 9 Pro are the same. Pixel 9 Pro are the identical to that of the Pixel 8 Pro, which was already a very good camera. Also, Google is mixing in some AI and declaring it to be the best.
A feature called the Add Me It is a feature that you are able to take an image of a set of people and let one individual break away from the rest of the group. They then take your mobile so that it can be join by the other group members and then take a second photograph. Google could then join those two images in a single picture with every person in the picture. This is an amazing and much-needed feature that’s going to let more people take part in their own pictures.
Satellite connectivity
Another cool option that’s not particularly innovative, but it’s a welcome addition to the Pixel line includes that of the Satellite SOS feature. It’s very similar to the way Apple did in its first launch of satellite connectivity two years earlier. Businesses such as Qualcomm also have brought satellite connectivity to their processors, however that endeavor failed before it could get up and running. In the meantime, Apple has evolved satellite connectivity to allow messages that are not urgent now.
On the Pixel 9 series of phones it is possible to connect to satellites to make contact with emergency services. This is the same way that Apple launched the ball with its own feature. The feature is now coming to Pixel this year, which is amazing. It’s no longer necessary for cellular coverage to be the sole reason for situations that could end your life. It’s unclear whether Google is also planning to expand the ability in future versions however for the moment this is satisfying to know Google is exploring this technology.
Price is new, but old price
In contrast to Pixel 9 Pro, which is a different model from Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro remains at the same price of $999 level, and it’s Pixel 9 Pro XL joining the Pixel 9 Pro family for $1,099 so both are a decent value. The Pixel 9 Pro is still a fantastic camera (even even if it’s similar in price to Pixel 8 Pro), and you’re also getting satellite connectivity and some interesting AI-related features. It’s all set to an impressive device for the Android area.
In addition, the bigger size that comes with Pixel 9 Pro XL Pixel 9 Pro XL will draw those looking for more screen space. It’s an advantage. Making sure that the Pro in the same range is the perfect icing for the cake. Personally, I’m not convince by the idea that AI is the method of the future, as Silicon Valley has decided it is. But if it proves to be an issue, then this Pixel 9 Pro seems like the perfect way to make it happen.
