Design and Additional Features
This new Pixel 9 series does without the edge-to-edge ‘visor’ look for the camera island seen on previous models in favor of a fully-flat frame.
Looking at the leaked images, this does make the devices appear more streamlined.
All three smartphones will be powered by Google’s Tensor G4 SoC.
The Pro models will support Ultra-Wideband technology, while the standard Pixel 9 will lack the feature.
