Google pushed its Pixel event two full months earlier and unveiled the largest yet lineup of Pixels - four. The expected Pixel 9 arrived with a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED, a flat body, the new Tensor G4 chipset, and an upgraded ultrawide angle camera.
For the first time, Google made a smaller Pro phone in the Pixel 9 Pro - the same 6.3-inch display diagonal, but with a superior LTPO panel, a better selfie camera, and a periscope zoom lens. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the usual big flagship, but it got an XL added to its name and a 0.1-inch bump in screen estate. It shares the Tensor G4 and the camera system with the smaller Pixel 9 Pro.
Finally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold brings a redesigned, and thinner body, larger displays, and an updated hinge.
The Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL will ship at the end of August, while the Pixel 9 Pro and the 9 Pro Fold will follow in September.
Google also unveiled the Pixel Watch 3, which comes in two sizes for the first time - the usual 41mm and a new 45mm. It has the same Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 SoC for wearables, and the same collection of sensors such as HR monitor, ECG readings, SpO2, skin thermometer, and GPS. The new addition is the UWB chip.

<br class="clear">Prolific leakster and lately outspoken Samsung critic Ice Universe shared mock-ups of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, showing more rounded corners that are no longer palm-piercing 90° angles.
While on the Samsung topic, the Galaxy S24 FE is fast approaching with an Exynos 2400e chipset.
