Since announcing the latest generation of Pixel devices at the Made by Google event on 13 August, you can expect to get your hands on them real soon as Singapore will be expecting the largest range of Pixel products to be be made available on our little island!
The new lineup of Google Pixel devices include the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel Watch 3, Pixel Buds Pro 2, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Here’s a closer look at the lineup.
PIXEL 9 PRO FOLD
Soon to be making its debut in Singapore, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is Google’s next foldable phone which brings its biggest ever display for a phone in an even thinner foldable device that is both scratch-resistant and has an IPX8 rating for water resistance of up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes of submersion.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold uses a fluid-friction hinge that makes it easy to open the device fully to enjoy the big, bright Super Actua Flex display that is now 80% brighter than its predecessor so that you can still get to see your screen clearly even when it’s bright outside.
Dubbed the best camera on any foldable phone, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold comes with an ultra-thin advanced triple rear camera system, which now supports Macro Focus.
In addition to existing features like the Dual Screen Preview, Tabletop Mode and Rear Camera Selfie, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will come with a new camera feature called Made You Look, which uses the outer screen to display an animation that helps to capture the attention of children during photo-taking — a perfect solution for parents.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is priced from S$2,399 and is available for pre-order on the GOOGLE STORE and Singtel.
PIXEL 9, PIXEL 9 PRO AND PIXEL 9 PRO XL
The Pixel 9 phones have been given an elevated new look which focuses on the camera with an upgrade to the iconic camera bar, and has a sleek design that fits comfortably in your hand. They also feature updated finishes complete with a silky matte glass back and polished metal sides for a distinctly premium feel that is twice as durable as the Pixel 8.
All Pixel 9 phones are also powered by Tensor G4, Google’s new custom silicon and its most efficient chip yet.
Designed with Google DeepMind, the Tensor G4 is optimised to run Google’s most advanced AI models and will be the first processor to run Gemini Nano with Multimodality to help your phone understand text, images and audio.
This new launch also marks the first time the Pro model comes in two different sizes Pixel 9 Pro (6.3-inch) and Pixel 9 Pro XL (6.8-inch). Both are equipped with Google’s best and brightest Super Actua display and a new 42MP front camera for sharper and brighter selfies in low light.
On the other hand, the Pixel 9 is built with a 6.3-inch Actua display, which has been rated the best display in its class, and is built with 48MP ultra-wide cameras that are found on the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The front camera also now offers autofocus for even sharper selfies.
The Pixel 9 is priced from S$1,199 and the Pixel 9 Pro XL is priced from S$1,739. Both are available for pre-orders HERE.
The Pixel 9 Pro is priced from S$1,459 and will be available from September onwards.
PIXEL WATCH 3
The Pixel Watch 3 marks Google’s biggest leap forward for its flagship smartwatch with two sizes that includes an all-new 45mm option complete with comprehensive tools for fitness and recovery, on-the-go assistance, and its all-new Loss of Pulse Detection feature that could potentially save lives.
Built with its most advanced Actua displays, both the 41mm and larger 45mm watches are now twice as bright as before with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits and has the ability to adjust to as low as 1 nit in dark environments for a more discreet glance.
The displays are also bigger now, with smaller bezels to showcase more screen while being more power efficient.
Combined with the Wear OS 5 and a power-efficient hybrid structure, the Pixel Watch 3 delivers dependable all-day battery life and uses machine learning to automatically detect sleep and enables Bedtime Mode to help you get disruption-free sleep while conserving battery.
On top of the usual fitness assistance you’ll get with smartwatches, the Google Pixel Watch 3 introduces three new tools — Daily Readiness to track and analyse your body’s key recovery biometrics, Cardio Load to help track your heart’s exertion and intensity during activities, and Target Load, a personalised target for your training.
As a first-of-its-kind capability, the Pixel Watch 3 will also feature the Loss of Pulse Detection which detects loss-of-pulse events that happen when the heart suddenly stops beating. When that occurs, the watch automatically places a call to emergency services and shares an automated message with critical context, along with your location.
Although this capability will only be available on the Pixel Watch 3 to various countries in Europe in September, there will be plans to make this feature available in more countries.
The Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) is priced from S$529 and the Pixel Watch 3 (45mm) is priced from S$599. Pre-orders can be made through the GOOGLE STORE.
PIXEL BUDS PRO 2
For the first time ever, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are built with an all-new custom-designed Tensor A1 chip to power industry-leading audio performance with Google AI and improved noise cancellation.
Designed to be the most comfortable and secure fitting earbuds, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 uses a new twist-to-adjust stabiliser to help your earbuds stay put while still offering maximum personalised comfort.
Thanks to the Tensor A1, you will be able to enjoy Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that is twice as strong as its predecessor through an ultra low-latency audio processing which adapts to your environment up to 3 million times per second.
The Tensor A1 also provides an accurate, highly detailed and immersive sound that is completely independent of the continuous processing that is happening for Active Noise Cancellation.
Despite its smaller and lighter design, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 also provides an increase in battery life, allowing you to enjoy up to 8 hours of battery life when ANC is enabled and 30 hours with the case. For a quick charge, simply pop them back into the case for 15 minutes and you’ll get up to three hours of extra battery life.
