The Pixel 9 series isn’t expected to launch until later this year, but we’ve already seen a lot of leaks about Google’s upcoming devices.
Google is rumoured to have plans to launch three Pixel flagships, compared to most other years when the company only released two flagships. According to well-known leaker OnLeaks, the tech giant will debut the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Based on these rumours, the Pixel 9 series will sport a flat design with squared edges and a floating camera bar that’s different from the Pixel 8 series.
Below are some of the smartphone series’ rumours specs:
6.03-inch FHD+ (1080 x 2400) OLED Actua Display, 428ppi, 60-120Hz refresh rate
6.5-inch FHD+, 60-120Hz refresh rate
6.7-inch FHD+ LTPO OLED 120Hz HDR10+ display
12GB of RAM (possibly 16GB of RAM)
Dual Cameras (Primary + Ultrawide)
Triple Rear Cameras (Primary, Ultrawide, Telephoto)
Three cameras (Primary, Ultra-wide, Telephoto)
Fingerprint (in-display), accelerometor, gyro, proximity, compass

Pixel 9 Features
Adaptive Touch
One of the Pixel 9’s upcoming features is ‘Adaptive Touch.’ Adaptive Touch increases the sensitivity of your screen automatically, making it adjust to your environment, screen protector and activities. It’s unclear exactly what will prompt the change, but Adaptive Touch’s sensitivity may change your screen’s sensitivity if it’s a rainy day.
Pixie AI
The Pixel 9 will reportedly sport a more sophisticated Android AI assistant called Pixie. Pixie AI is different than Gemini (or perhaps a different form of the AI assistant). The AI is based on the Gemini large language model, which allows it to perform complex and multimodal tasks. Pixie AI won’t replace Google Assistant but instead will handle requests that the less powerful Assistant can’t.
We don’t know much about the Pixel 9 series at this point, but here’s a cool video showing off the rumoured device.
