Google has launched its new Pixel 9 series, including the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, showcasing significant hardware and AI enhancements. The Pixel 9 series is deeply integrated with Google's Gemini AI, offering exclusive features such as advanced image editing and improved user experience. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold addresses ergonomic issues from its predecessor and now features a larger, brighter display and a more practical design. Google also introduced new versions of its Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds Pro 2. However, the increased pricing of the Pixel 9 series has raised concerns, with the base model starting at $799. Despite the advanced features, the launch event's focus on AI over new hardware drew mixed reactions, highlighting the dominance of Google's AI over its devices.
