Google Pixel 9 Pro Overview

Display and Design

Google Pixel 9 Pro features a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. While this display is slightly smaller than the Pixel 8 Pro’s 6.7-inch screen, it maintains high refresh rate capabilities. Now, the Google Pixel 9 Pro also features an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.  The Pixel 9 Pro is compact with an IP68 rating, measuring 6 x 2.8 x 0.3 inches and weighing 199 grams, making it lighter compared to the Pixel 8 Pro. Getting into the design, the Pixel 9 Pro comes with a different look. Featuring a flat frame, it comes with aluminum frames on the side, with Gorilla Victus 2 protecting both the front and back. Similarly, the iconic camera bar is now replaced with a pill-shaped bar with rounded edges.

Battery and Charging 

The Pixel 9 Pro is equipped with a 4,700 mAh battery and supports 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. Although its battery size is smaller than the 5,050 mAh battery found in the Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro offers faster wired charging. Both models support wireless charging, with the Pixel 9 Pro providing 15W charging compared to the Pixel 8 Pro’s 13W.

Advanced Camera System

The Pixel 9 Pro features a comprehensive camera system, including a 50 MP main camera, a 48 MP ultrawide lens, and a 48 MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. This setup includes an extra telephoto lens not found in the standard Pixel 9, which has a 50 MP main camera, and a 48 MP ultrawide lens, and lacks telephoto capability. The front-facing camera on the Pixel 9 Pro is upgraded to 42 MP, compared to the 10.5 MP front camera on the Pixel 9.
