We can also see that the Pixel 9 will have matte sides and a glossy back, which was a design choice used in last year’s Pixel 8. This is a bit surprising given that the more affordable Pixel 8a has a matte back, but the colors of the Pixel 9 (except for Obsidian) should help minimize fingerprints.

In terms of RAM, the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold will lead the pack with an impressive 16GB of RAM. The standard Pixel 9 will have 12GB of RAM, a significant upgrade from the Pixel 8‘s 8GB. This increased RAM will enable smoother multitasking and handle more demanding tasks. Not to mention on-device AI.The Pixel 9‘s camera system will be a key highlight, featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 10.5-megapixel front-facing camera for high-quality selfies.
It’s been rumored that the phone will sport a 6.3-inch “Actua Display,” a term Google uses to describe its brighter screens. It’s also expected that this display will reach around 2,000 nits of peak brightness, ensuring excellent visibility even in bright sunlight.
Google has not officially confirmed any of these details, so it’s important to remember that this information is based on leaks and rumors. We’ll have to wait for Google’s official announcement to get the full picture of the Pixel 9 series. However, the leaked information suggests that Google is preparing a strong contender in the smartphone arena.
