Following several leaks, Google is giving us the first official look at the Pixel 9 Pro.
On Thursday, Google released teaser images and videos showing off its newest flagship smartphone. To stand out from the competition, Google suggets the Pixel 9 Pro is designed to fully harness its Gemini chatbot.
In the teaser video, the company uses the Pixel 9 Pro to ask Gemini to write a break-up letter to the customer’s previous smartphone. The phone then generates the letter as the video shows off the phone's design, particularly its rear-facing camera.
“A phone built for the Gemini era. It can do a lot—even let your old phone down easy,” Google wrote in a tweet for the teaser video.
On the Google Store, the company also released still images that provide a better look at the phone’s camera array, which swaps the rectangular edges in last year’s Pixel 8 series for a rounded design.

In response, it looks like Google decided to release official images to help fuel the hype —a tactic the company has resorted to before. Rumors have also suggested Google is packing the products with several AI-focused features, which align with the company’s teaser video.
The company plans on revealing more about the entire next-generation Pixel lineup during an event on Aug. 13 that starts at 10 a.m. PST. Stay tuned for our coverage.
