The Google Pixel 9 series was unveiled earlier this week during the company’s annual Made by Google event. The standard Pixel 9 features an Actua OLED display, while the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL models are equipped with LTPO Super Actua screens. However, a recent entry on the Pixel support page indicated that the display quality and connectivity options for the Pixel 9 models differ across various markets. Notably, the Indian versions of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL were listed with non-LTPO displays.
According to GSMArena’s observation of the Pixel support page, the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL intended for India, Malaysia, and Singapore were noted to have different display specifications compared to their counterparts in other regions. Specifically, the Pixel 9 Pro models for these areas were reportedly listed with an Actua Display rather than a Super Actua Display (LTPO).
However, as of the time of this writing, Google has updated the display specifications for the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL in the Indian, Malaysian, and Singaporean markets, now designating them as Super Actua displays.
Additionally, there were inconsistencies regarding the Wi-Fi capabilities of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL across different regions. Screenshots of the listing shared by the publication revealed that the Pixel 9 Pro units available in India do not support Wi-Fi 7. This limitation is attributed to the regulations imposed by Indian authorities. It is likely that the hardware is capable of supporting Wi-Fi 7, and a software update may enable this feature once regulatory approval is obtained in India.
Pixel 9 Series Display Specifications
The Pixel 9 Pro features a 6.3-inch Super Actua (LTPO) OLED display with a resolution of 1,280 x 2,856 pixels, offering a pixel density of 495ppi, a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits, and a variable refresh rate that spans from 1Hz to 120Hz. In contrast, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is equipped with a larger 6.8-inch SuperActua (LTPO) OLED display, boasting a resolution of 1,344 x 2,992 pixels and a pixel density of 486ppi, with a refresh rate that can reach up to 120Hz and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. The Pixel 9, on the other hand, has a 6.3-inch Actua OLED display with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,424 pixels, a pixel density of 422ppi, a peak brightness of 2,700 nits, and a refresh rate that varies from 60Hz to 120Hz.
All three models are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and are powered by the Tensor G4 SoC, complemented by a Titan M2 security coprocessor.
