The launch date for the Google Pixel 9 series is set for August 13, with the smartphones’ designs already unveiled on social media. Prior to the official release, information regarding the displays of Google’s upcoming smartphones has apparently been disclosed. According to reports, the devices could come with Samsung-produced OLED displays utilizing “M14” organic material, leading to enhanced brightness. Interestingly, it has been mentioned that the iPhone 16 Pro models might also adopt the same display technology.
Google Pixel 9 Display Specifications (Expected)
Google is preparing to release the Pixel 9 series, consisting of three models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL, with the latter being a new addition. As per Android Authority’s report, all three devices are expected to have enhanced brightness levels thanks to the M14 OLED screen.
The Pixel 9 is rumored to offer a full-screen HDR brightness of 1,800 nits, an improvement from the Pixel 8’s 1,400 nits. On the other hand, both the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL might boast 2,050 nits of HDR brightness, marking an increase of around 400 nits from their predecessors. Although these values are for HDR, it is speculated that local peak brightness levels will be even higher across the Pixel 9 series.
Reports suggest that the Google Pixel 9 Pro will be notably smaller this time, featuring a 6.34-inch display compared to the Pixel 8 Pro’s 6.71-inch screen. This change could be attributed to the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro XL, a new model expected to sport a 6.73-inch 120Hz display. If these specifications hold true, it would be the largest display on any non-foldable Pixel smartphone to date.
Apart from the Pixel 9 series, Google has officially announced the arrival of its next-generation foldable smartphone, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Serving as a successor to the Pixel Fold unveiled at the I/O Developer Conference in 2023, Google’s upcoming smartphone lineup will be powered by Gemini, its large language model (LLM) that drives artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
