The launch of the Google Pixel 9 series is approaching, with the new Pixel smartphones set to debut on August 13th. As is common, details about the upcoming Pixel smartphones have leaked online before the official launch. These leaks have revealed some specifications and design elements of the devices.
Recently, another detail about the Google Pixel 9 series emerged online. According to the leaked information, the Google Pixel 9 series may feature Samsung-made OLED display panels made from “M14” organic material, resulting in improved brightness. It is also reported that the upcoming iPhone 16 models may use the same Samsung-made OLED displays.
The upcoming Google Pixel smartphone series will include three devices: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The XL model is a new addition to the series, which previously included only the standard model and the Pro model. According to a report by Android Authority, all three smartphones in the series will feature Samsung-made OLED displays with enhanced brightness due to the “M14” organic material.
The standard Pixel 9 smartphone is reportedly set to offer a full-screen HDR brightness of 1800 nits, compared to 1400 nits on the Pixel 8 launched last year. Both the Pro and Pro XL models are expected to provide HDR brightness of 2050 nits, an increase of 400 nits over the Pixel 8 Pro’s brightness. These HDR values suggest that local brightness levels across the series may be even higher.
Leaked details indicate that the Google Pixel 9 Pro will have a slightly smaller 6.34-inch display compared to the 6.71-inch display on its predecessor. This may be because Google is now introducing a Pro XL model, which will be the most feature-rich model among the three. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to have a 6.73-inch 120Hz display. Additionally, the company has confirmed its next-generation foldable device, dubbed the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
