Google is expected to launch the Pixel 9 series on 13 August. The series is likely to offer four devices, the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and the 9 Pro Fold.
Rumours suggest the Pixel 9 Pro’s could come with a 12.5MP sensor main camera However, it is likely to be marketed as a 50MP sensor utilizing pixel binning—a technique that effectively increases pixel size to capture more light and enhance image quality.
The main camera is expected to include Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS).
Additionally, the camera is also expected to support a resolution of 4080×3072 pixels, a 25.4mm focal length, an f/1.7 aperture, a horizontal Field of View (FoV) of 70.7 degrees, and a vertical FoV of 56.2 degrees. However, details about the secondary camera sensors remain under wraps, awaiting official confirmation.
The Pixel is expected to be powered by the Tensor G4 chipset, which should come with enhanced GPU, CPU, and NPU performance.
Google is also expected to make changes to the device’s camera module. The Pixel 9 Pro series is rumored to feature an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
