With this precedent in mind, it is expected that the Google Pixel 9 go one step further and become a real beast, loaded with AI, with cameras never seen before and making me regain faith in the firm as a mobile manufacturer.
In fact, although the firm's current top-of-the-range devices are good terminals, the truth is that both phones are far from perfect and still need improvements. The overheating problems are evident and users have also reported that the batteries do not last as long as those in their previous Pixel phones.
This would be the Google Pixel 9
Seems Google unlikely to make significant design changes. The visor-shaped camera bar has become an identity of modern Pixels and Google may not change it so soon. One of the most obvious upgrades to the Pixel 9 will be its chipset. It is a feature that is updated every year like clockwork, not only in the Pixel range but in practically all phones on the market, so the Tensor G3 will leave its place to the Tensor G4.
It is also speculated that the Pixel 9 will ditch the old Google Assistant for another more capable one. Nicknamed 'Pixie', the virtual assistant would supposedly be powered by Google's Gemini AI model, a ChatGPT 4.0 competitor that Google says delivers 'state-of-the-art current results on 30 of the 32 widely used academic benchmarks in intelligent language.'
The Google Pixel 9 range It could also be larger than the current Pixel 8 series, according to analyst Ross Young, a leakster with a fairly accurate track record when it comes to leaks related to mobile screens.

To this we add a battery with the same capacities, but with a higher charging speed, reaching 67W, and an improved camera, not only with AI capabilities, but it will mount a UGA of higher resolution and quality that will flank as it is due to the main sensor and the telephoto lens that give such good results on the Pixel 8 Pro.
How much will it cost?
Regarding the price, It is expected that they will remain in the line of the Pixel 8. Let us remember that, in the US (where we have to base ourselves) the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 were sold with a price of $599, while the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro were priced at $899. However, the Google Pixel 8 now costs $699 for the 128GB storage version, and the 128GB variant of the Pixel 8 Pro is priced at $999, or $100 more than its predecessors.
That's why we think that Google could maintain these prices for the next few years. Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Proat least until the arrival of the Pixel 10, although there are no specific leaks that give a clearer idea about its price.
