This is our best look yet at the Google Pixel 9 series

When they finally launch, the Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL will not have many surprises — at least not when it comes to their design. Rozetked has revealed a series of new images showing the front, back, and sides of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL, along with comparisons to previous Pixel models and the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

In the above image, we’re looking at three Pixel models: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The new “camera island” design is apparent on all three devices, replacing the camera bar of previous models. The Pixel 9 Pro has a matte back and glossy frame, while the Pixel 9 appears to have a glossy back and matte bezels, which is an interesting inversion.

They also have more rounded edges compared with the Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 7, which you can see in the above image. This may make the Pixel 9 series easier to grip with one hand. The Pixel 9 models are all notably larger than the Pixel 8, making them closer to the Pixel 7 in overall footprint.

There are a few comparison shots showing how the Pixel 9 Pro compares to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in terms of dimensions. They’re pretty similar, though the iPhone 15 Pro looks a bit shorter, while the Pro Max seems like a pretty close match.

Notably, there are also a few leaked images revealing some specs in the AIDA64 app. The Pixel 9 Pro XL appears to come with 16GB RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 6.73-inch display, while the Pixel 9 Pro has a 6.34-inch screen. Both the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL have a triple array of 50-megapixel camera sensors with 0.5x, 1x, and 5x zoom. The Pixel 9 appears to have 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage with a dual camera array with 05x and 1x zoom. The Pixel 9 seems to be identical in size to the Pixel 9 Pro, but it comes with a 6.24-inch screen with larger bezels. All three phones should come with a 120Hz refresh rate.

All three phones look like they’re running the Tensor G4 chip, but only the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL will support 5G ultra-wideband. As of now, the Pixel 9 series is expected to launch around the same time it does every year — during the Made by Google event in October.

Pricing is still unknown, but last year, the Pixel phones increased by $100 across the board, coming in at $699 for the Pixel 8 and $999 for the Pixel 8 Pro. At the very least, we’re expecting the Pixel 9 phones to match these prices, but hopefully we won’t get another increase.

Does the Google Pixel 8a have a headphone jack?

The Google Pixel 8a is the latest and greatest in Google’s midrange A-series smartphone lineup. It costs an affordable $499, but boasts many features that make Pixel phones so popular, including great camera hardware, a Tensor G3 chip, and a 120Hz refresh rate on its 6.1-inch OLED display. All of this makes it a great option for most people who aren’t looking for cutting-edge specs.

However, you might be wondering if it comes with a headphone jack so you can use it with wired earbuds. Smartphone manufacturers have increasingly eliminated this feature in favor of pushing customers to their own line of Bluetooth earbuds and headphones. Does this also apply to the Pixel 8a? Here’s the deal.

Is the Google Pixel 8a waterproof?

Google's Pixel A series is an oddball compared to other midrange phones. Besides some mediocre features that fit the price, the A series phones surprisingly share some other attributes with their more premium siblings.

The all-new Google Pixel 8a is alike in this regard and shares such things as the Tensor G3 chip, wireless charging, and seven years of software support from Google. It's also the first A-series Pixel to get a 120Hz display. But if you're wondering whether or not the Pixel 8a is waterproof, here's what you need to know.

Google has no idea what it’s doing with the Pixel Tablet
The back of the Google Pixel Tablet.

With its latest move to try and encourage you to buy a Pixel Tablet, Google has unfortunately indicated it still has no idea what to do with its most recent return to tablets.

Its big plan to sell more tablets is to take away the best thing about them, which then gives it an excuse to charge a bit less. Reducing the price is a good thing, but in the case of the Pixel Tablet and Google's solution, there’s sadly no longer any reason to buy it at all.
