Google moved up its Pixel event by two months and unveiled its biggest Pixel lineup yet: four. The highly anticipated Pixel 9 arrived with a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED display, a slim body, the new Tensor G4 chipset, and an improved ultra-wide-angle camera.
For the first time, Google has created a smaller Pro phone with the Pixel 9 Pro: the same 6.3-inch screen diagonal, but with a larger LTPO panel, a better selfie camera, and a periscope zoom lens. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the usual large flagship, but it has received an XL added to its name and a 0.1-inch increase in screen real estate. It shares the Tensor G4 and camera system with the smaller Pixel 9 Pro.
Finally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold features a redesigned, thinner body, larger displays, and an updated hinge.
The Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL will ship in late August, while the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro Fold will follow in September.
Google also unveiled the Pixel Watch 3, which comes in two sizes for the first time: the usual 41mm and a new 45mm. It features the same Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 SoC as the wearables and the same collection of sensors such as heart rate monitor, ECG measurements, SpO2, skin thermometer, and GPS. New is the UWB chip.
Both feature new Super Actua displays, 16GB of RAM, a Tensor G4 SoC, and 42MP selfie snappers.
As Google rolls out a new small flagship, the vanilla model brings key improvements over its predecessor with 12GB of RAM and a 50MP ultrawide camera.
It's impressive how good the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is in its second iteration.

Ice Universe, a prolific leaker and vocal Samsung critic of late, has shared mockups of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, showing more rounded corners that are no longer palm-piercing 90-degree angles.
Speaking of Samsung, the Galaxy S24 FE is just around the corner with an Exynos 2400e chipset.
The sharp corners of the S24 Ultra are pretty bad for ergonomics, the 2025 phone might make some changes to improve that.
The S24 FE is rumored to be powered by the Exynos 2400e SoC.
It will launch with Android 14 and One UI 6.1.1.
It will be available via MagicOS 8.0 on all devices, including the Magic6 Pro.
