Google's latest high-end smartphone, the Pixel 9 Pro, has made significant advancements in its design and AI-powered camera systems.
With the redesign of the camera bar and the addition of AI features, it enables more advanced image capturing and editing, making it a highly capable smartphone camera. This article delves into the main features and attractions of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Enhanced Camera System and 'Add Me' Feature
The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL are equipped with a common 'Pro Triple Rear Camera System'. It combines a 50-megapixel wide camera, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 48-megapixel telephoto camera, offering diverse focal lengths and optical zoom capabilities.
This system allows shooting from 0.5x to 10x without digital zoom, and with the 'Super Res Zoom' feature, even wider zoom is possible. The new video boost feature enables recording at up to 8K resolution, with various video modes added.
Notably, the 'Add Me' feature allows the photographer to be included in group photos. First, a group photo is taken with space reserved for the photographer. Then, a separate photo of the photographer is taken and merged into the group photo, resulting in a complete group picture with everyone included.

Performance Boost with Google's AI 'Gemini'
The Pixel 9 Pro is enhanced by Google's latest AI platform, 'Gemini'. Gemini assists with information searches, event planning, and task execution on the device. New features such as 'Add Me' and 'Imagination' are introduced, enabling more advanced image editing and portrait photography.
Additionally, the Pixel 9 Pro is equipped with the Tensor G4 chip, and security is provided by the Titan M2 security coprocessor. The battery life is excellent, lasting over 24 hours with regular use, and up to 100 hours with the extreme battery saver mode.
The Pixel 9 Pro, with its innovative design, powerful camera features, and AI support, could set a new standard for smartphones.
Refined Design and Display
The Pixel 9 Pro has abandoned the iconic full-width camera bar of previous Pixel series, adopting a new rounded camera bar. This design is not only refined but also durable.
Both the front and back of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL use glass panels from Corning, the same used in iPhones and Apple Watches, and they feature IP68 dust and water resistance. The display is 6.3 inches for the Pixel 9 Pro and 6.8 inches for the Pixel 9 Pro XL, both equipped with OLED panels, offering high brightness and refresh rates. Although there are differences in resolution, they are hardly noticeable in everyday use.
