Google Pixel 9 lineup adds a smaller Pro option

Alongside the Pixel 9, Google is expected to merchandise the Pixel Pro successful 2 sizes: a larger 6.8-inch exemplary and a smaller 6.3-inch variant. It’ll beryllium the archetypal clip the Pro features are disposable successful 2 antithetic sizes, with the telephoto camera antecedently being reserved lone for the larger telephone model.

As shown successful the representation shared by Google itself (and many, many leaks), the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro volition besides travel with immoderate plan changes. Both the Pro and modular models are getting flatter edges and a rounded camera module that protrudes from the backmost of the device.

A leaked spec expanse from OnLeaks suggests that the Pixel 9 Pro models volition travel with an upgraded G4 Tensor spot and 16GB of RAM. The basal Pixel 9, connected the different hand, is expected to person the aforesaid spot with a 6.3-inch show and 12GB of RAM.

Google brings much AI to the Pixel

With Samsung and present Apple making an effort to bring AI to their phones, it’s nary astonishment to spot Google doing the same. A acceptable of leaked selling materials from OnLeaks hints, among different features, astatine a caller Pixel Screenshots diagnostic that “helps you prevention info that you privation to retrieve aboriginal — similar events, places and more.”

That tracks with a erstwhile leak from Android Police, which suggests that the feature tin “save and process adjuvant details” from your screenshots, letting you hunt done them. It sounds a spot similar Microsoft’s arguable Recall feature but appears to lone enactment connected the screenshots you instrumentality manually, alternatively than scanning your full device. The selling materials besides amusement an integration with Google’s AI chatbot Gemini, on with Circle to Search.

A leaked Pixel 9 advertisement posted by Android Headlines (it has since been taken down) gave america a glimpse astatine a diagnostic called “Add Me,” which appears to usage AI to enactment idiosyncratic successful a photograph erstwhile they weren’t primitively there. It looks similar Google is readying to update its Magic Editor tool, too, allowing you to regenerate the inheritance of an representation based connected a prompt.

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 brings backmost the helping tip

It’s already been 2 years since the motorboat of the archetypal Pixel Buds Pro 2, and present it looks similar Google is readying to springiness them a refresh. Leaked images from OnLeaks amusement the Pixel Buds Pro 2 with a tiny helping extremity that sticks retired from the broadside of each bud — benignant of similar a smaller mentation of the “stabilizer arc” connected the archetypal Pixel Buds.

Other tiny changes see larger grills that lucifer the colors of the bud, arsenic good arsenic a charging lawsuit that appears to travel with a tiny talker (maybe to emit a sound erstwhile utilizing Google’s Find My feature?). The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are expected to travel successful gray, white, green, and pink.

We whitethorn person a bully thought of what the Pixel Buds Pro 2 volition look like, but we don’t cognize overmuch astir the specs. A regulatory listing spotted earlier this twelvemonth suggests the lawsuit whitethorn travel with a larger 650mAh battery. Other than that, we tin apt expect the Pixel Buds Pro 2 to diagnostic the aforesaid progressive sound cancellation and multipoint features as their predecessor.

A Pixel Watch 3 with 2 sizes and bigger screens

So far, we’ve lone seen renders of the Pixel Watch 3 that amusement a instrumentality with a somewhat chunkier design.

The materials besides hint astatine enactment for offline Google Maps, caller camera controls erstwhile connecting to a Pixel phone, and the quality to presumption your Nest Cam and Nest Doorbell’s unrecorded feeds from your watch.

Unfortunately, you whitethorn not beryllium capable to usage your existent Pixel Watch 2 bands with the larger 45mm device.

The 45mm Pixel Watch 3 whitethorn not get arsenic galore set options arsenic the 41mm version, either, according to Android Headlines.

Anything else?

It whitethorn look similar we already cognize each we cognize astir Google’s upcoming hardware event, but the institution whitethorn inactive astonishment us. For one, there’s a anticipation that we whitethorn get a look astatine the new “Google TV Streamer,” which 9to5Google published leaked images of successful July. It looks way antithetic than the Chromecast, but we inactive don’t person immoderate details connected specs.

That’s each we cognize for now, but there’s inactive clip betwixt present and Google’s August 13th event, which means there’s inactive a accidental for much leaks.
