Google Pixel 9 launch event 2024 updates: Today is the big day! In just a few hours, Google will unveil the highly anticipated Pixel 9 series, including the India-bound Pixel 9 Pro Fold. That’s right—Google is all set to launch its first foldable smartphone in India. According to a Flipkart listing, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is also making its way to the Indian market, with the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro expected to follow suit.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. This year’s Made by Google event promises more than just smartphones. You can also look forward to new wearable devices, including the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2. Although many details have already been leaked, there could still be some surprises in store.
What’s unique this year is that the Made by Google event is happening earlier than usual. Traditionally, Google holds its major launch events in October, after the annual iPhone release. This year, however, the Pixel 9 series is launching ahead of the iPhone 16, giving Google a head start in the market. This timing could also allow Google to showcase its next-gen AI technology before Apple catches up.
With artificial intelligence emerging as the latest frontier in technology, all eyes are on how far Google—and soon, Apple—can push the boundaries with their new products. As more devices enter the market, it’s clear that AI is shaping up to be the defining technology of the future. Don’t miss the live event as Google unveils its latest innovations.
Pixel 9 starts at Rs 79,999, Pixel 9 Pro at Rs 1,09,999, and Pixel 9 Pro XL at Rs 1,24,999. The lineup will be available for pre-order starting August 14. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is priced at Rs 1,72,999 and will be available in early September. The Pixel Watch 3 costs Rs 39,900 for 41mm and Rs 43,900 for 45mm. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are Rs 22,900.
The new Pixel Watch 3 comes in two sizes: 41 mm and 45 mm. It features a new Actua display that is 2x brighter, with up to 2000 nits of brightness and a dynamic refresh rate between 1 and 60 Hz. The watch offers advanced running capabilities, including real-time guidance for pace and heart rate, and detailed tracking of running metrics like cadence and stride length.
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are equipped with the Tensor A1 chip, which enhances audio processing and noise cancellation. The earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal 2.0, which adapts to the environment to cancel up to twice as much noise as previous models.
