The Google Pixel 9 series is expected to debut in late 2024 and new developments from the company itself add weight to this expectation. 

Within the latest beta version of the Google app (version 15.14.34.29), code snippets have been found mentioning the Pixel 9 device name for the first time.

These references were discovered within files likely connected to the Google Assistant setup wizard for the upcoming Pixel phones. Additionally, there’s an accompanying JSON animation file, although it doesn’t explicitly refer to the devices.

However, it’s evident that Google is actively working on the Pixel 9. Rumors so far suggest several changes in the line with the most significant being the possibility of Google announcing three new devices.

It appears Google might introduce a smaller, pocket-friendly Pixel 9 Pro alongside a standard Pixel 9 and a larger Pixel 9 Pro XL. 

Google typically releases a standard and affordable Pixel model alongside a premium Pro version packed with features. But a smaller Pro model would maintain premium-tier experiences while appealing to users who prefer a compact form factor.

As we move closer to Google’s anticipated Q3 2024 launch window, expect more details about the Pixel 9 series to emerge. We’ll keep you updated on the latest specifications, features, and potential pricing of these exciting new smartphones.

Of note, there’s also a device in the pipeline from the Pixel 8 series, the Pixel 8a. Earlier this week, Google inadvertently revealed the design of the phone in a Google Fi ad while its design has also been unveiled in a real-life image.
