Summary:
- The Google Pixel 9 series is scheduled to launch in India on August 14.

Just days before its official launch, the price of the Google Pixel 9 Pro has reportedly been leaked. The device is set to launch in India on August 14, following a global release on August 13. Introduced by Google last month, the Pixel 9 Pro is expected to feature deep integration with the company’s AI, Gemini. However, apart from this AI integration and a brief glimpse of the back panel, Google has shared little about the device. The Pixel 9 series is rumored to include four models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. According to a Reddit leak, the Pixel 9 Pro might start at $1,000 (approximately Rs 84,000).
It appears that Google may launch only two models from the Pixel 9 series in India—specifically, the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The tech giant has updated its India-centric online store, listing only these two models, despite the global lineup likely including four devices. A preview image shared by Google India on the social media platform X also shows just two smartphones, reinforcing the idea that only these two models will be available in the Indian market at launch.
Google has unveiled the first look at the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The Pixel 9 Pro will sport a flat frame design with a unique floating island-style camera module, which stands out from the frame, differing from the camera visor design seen in the Pixel 8 series. The standard Pixel 9 and the rumored Pixel 9 Pro XL are likely to feature a similar design. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold will come with a distinct square-shaped camera island located on the top left corner of the device and will also have a flat frame design, much like the Pixel 9 Pro.
The Pixel 9 series is anticipated to have brighter display panels across its devices. Reports suggest that the standard Pixel 9 will offer up to 1,800 nits of peak HDR brightness, while the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL could reach up to 2,050 nits. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to have a taller display, with the inner foldable screen reaching up to 1,600 nits and the outer cover displaying up to 1,800 nits of peak HDR brightness.
