Much has been leaked about the series Pixel 9 in recent weeks, something that is usual for devices that, in some way, will have a great impact on the mobile market. This year, however, Google has decided to make some changes, such as bringing forward its presentation and adding a third model under the mythical acronym “XL” to offer greater variety in its flagship phones.
In this particular article, we will talk only about the model “minor”And although its size is compact, inside it is a titan that protects the same power than its older brothersin addition to a photographic system that evolves with a design that truly differentiates it from the competition.
Main new features of the Google Pixel 9
The concept of a compact smartphone in the standard version of the Pixel is renewed in this ninth editionwhich is totally understandable considering that it is one of the most accepted by fans around the world. What does manage to attract us is its new look, which not only differentiates itself from the Pixel 8, but also from the rest of its rivals. The American giant now implements a redesign in which the two photographic sensors of this device are located, which, oval shapedattract attention at first glance.
In this same sense, the firm has decided to include a main camera of 50 megapixel f/1.68 with OISaccompanied by an ultra wide angle of 48 megapixel f/1.7. This secondary sensor is a significant step forward because it leaves behind the typical 12 megapixels that have been present for years. Now, when taking group photos or landscapes, you will get higher quality. On the other hand, the selfie camera is 10.5 megapixelsand it is estimated that it will continue to be one of the best on the market.
New Tensor processor with greater efficiency

The manufacturer assures that with this SoC we will have a 17% of improved efficiency when opening or running an application, a 20% in navigation (during the use of the mobile device) and, of course, work has been done on a better energy efficiency.
Another of the great improvements that will greatly help in the management and performance of the smartphone are the 12GB of RAM (in a single version), which was completely necessary for a flagship-level experience. We cannot leave aside that the battery is 4.700mAhwith fast charging of 45W and 18W wireless charging.
Speaking of its screen, it is a panel 6.3 inch AMOLED with a resolution of 2,424 x 1,080 pixels, variable refresh rate from 60 to 120 Hz, peak brightness of 2,700 nitsHDR10+ and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. Without a doubt, it is a panel that will meet the minimum requirements in a premium smartphone.
Finally, this ninth generation comes with Android 14 and not with Android 15 as expected. However, it is estimated that this fifteenth version of the operating system will be available for this smartphone in the coming weeks.
