Google Pixel 9 Pro cost and availability

The Google Pixel 9 Pro was launched on 13 August 2024, and pre-orders shipped at the beginning of September.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro's starting price at launch was £999 for models with 128GB of storage data. Google also offered a pre-order deal to double your storage, giving you 256GB for the price of 128GB if you order before the handsets were released to stores.

Google Pixel 9 Pro features

While the main focus of the Pixel 9 series is the integration of new AI features, there are a couple of important upgrades that need to be mentioned.

Google Pixel 9 Pro camera

The Google Pixel 9 Pro has a triple-lens camera setup, with a 50MP main camera, a 48MP ultrawide lens and the 48MP telephoto lens that isn’t present in the standard Pixel 9 device.

The Pixel 9 Pro also sports an improved 42MP selfie camera that boasts a wider 103-degree field of view and 30% greater light sensitivity for enhanced selfies and video calls.

While these specs are pretty impressive, the power behind the Pixel 9 Pro camera comes from its software and all the new AI-powered processing tools that are built in.

What are the new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL AI features?

Google has been leading the charge in integrating AI into smartphones, a trend that continues with the Pixel 9 Pro.

Google Gemini serves as the virtual assistant managing everything on the phone, from extracting details from your photos to pulling calendar info from your emails. The Magic Editor tool has been upgraded, offering new capabilities like reframing or extending a photo using generative AI. Additionally, Pixel Studio allows you to generate new images and sketches based on text descriptions.

The Call Screen feature, already a favourite from the Pixel 8 Pro, now includes "Call Notes," which records calls and summarises them—perfect for those who need a memory boost. The new Pixel-exclusive Screenshot app uses AI to analyse and recall information from screenshots.

These AI-driven features will be initially launched with Android 14 instead of the Android 15 which is set to be released later this year. However these phones are set to receive 7 years of major software and security updates.

Google Pixel 9 Pro vs the Pixel 9: What's the difference?

Both come in new colours and similar designs, including a matte glass back and a rounded camera bar. The only difference in design is the colours. Both the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are available in Obsidian and Porcelain shades. The Pixel 9 is also available in Wintergreen and Peony, while the Pixel 9 Pro comes in Hazel and Rose Quartz.

The screen size is the same on both devices, but the Pro panel is an LTPO panel, meaning it can refresh at any number between 1Hz and 120Hz. The Pixel 9 Pro also comes with a brighter display that can reach 3,000 nits.

Both devices are very close in the performance department. They feature the new Tensor G4 chipset, which offers improved general and AI performance. The main difference is the Pixel 9 has 12GB RAM, and the Pixel 9 Pro has 16GB RAM, making it a little more multitasking-friendly when using many apps at once.

Unsurprisingly, the Pixel 9 Pro comes out on top with the camera, with a third 48MP 5x telephoto on the back that lets you zoom into far-away subjects and a 42MP front camera that beats the 9's 10.5MP. Both devices have the same 4,700Mah battery.

How good is the Google Pixel 9 Pro design and display?

The Pixel 9 Pro's 6.3-inch Super Actua display is impressively brighter and has a higher resolution than Samsung and Apple’s flagship devices, making it easy to read in any light.

When choosing between the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL, keep in mind that while the 9 Pro has fewer pixels overall, they're packed tighter for higher pixel density, making the display slightly sharper.

The matte glass compliments the Pixel 9 Pro well, particularly on the porcelain and hazel models, and the polished metal frame is more refined than the satin finish on the Pixel 9. Google also claims the Pixel 9 Pro is twice as durable as the Pixel 8 generation and is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

How good is the Google Pixel 9 Pro battery?

The Pixel 9 Pro is very similar to the Pixel 9 in terms of battery life and power. Both of the devices share the same 4700mAh battery, which can easily handle a solid day of use.

The Pixel 9 Pro also includes wired and wireless charging support, making it an even greater travelling companion.
