Google has announced the release of a new folding smartphone, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which will go on sale in September 2024 at a price of $1,799. This is the second generation of the company's foldable devices that has received significant hardware updates.

Google has announced that the presentation of the new Pixel 9 devices will take place on Tuesday and will be broadcast on two channels: Made by Google and Android on YouTube. The latter will emphasise the role of Android and Gemini in this year's announcement, noting the integration of the Android and hardware teams under the new Platforms & Devices structure led by Rick Osterloh.

Google's upcoming Pixel 9 Pro XL is back on the agenda, and new leaks confirm key details. The 128GB version will cost $1099, while the 256GB model will cost $1199.

The new Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold reveals the details of its camera even before the official announcement. The information appeared in the certification documents of Camera FV-5. The main camera will have a resolution of 48 megapixels with f/1.7 aperture, OIS and EIS, as well as a focal length of 25.5 mm and a maximum resolution of 4000 x 3000 pixels.

A promotional video that has appeared online confirms that the new Google Pixel Watch 3 will be available in two sizes - 41 mm and 45 mm. The video also shows smaller bezels, particularly on the larger model, which allows the display to stretch to the edges.

Google Pixel 9 Pro won't be able to shoot video in 8K resolution, but thanks to the new Video Boost feature, this feature will be available.

Google's Pixel Watch 3 will require a newer Android smartphone to use its new features. Recent promotional materials have shown that the new watch requires a phone with Android 10.0 or later.

New details about Pixel Watch 3 have emerged thanks to a leak. We'll have to wait a little longer for the release of the new smartwatch, as the new Performance Loop band range is delayed until the end of October.

Google has released Android 15 Beta 4 for Pixel phones and tablets, which means that the platform is stable and ready for the stable version. It also allows Samsung to accelerate the development of One UI 7.0 for Galaxy devices.

Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, features a Samsung Display M13 series display with a peak brightness of 2600 nits, which is higher than the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max (2000 nits) and Google Pixel 8 Pro (2400 nits).

Google has released Android 15 beta 4 for supported Pixel devices. This is the second release of the platform to ensure stability, marking the completion of API and other changes. Developers can now prepare their apps for the final release.

Google has officially confirmed the existence of the Pixel 9 Pro smartphone, ahead of the Made By Google live stream scheduled for August. This event followed a series of leaks when images and videos of the phone began to appear on the Internet.

For the past few years, Google has been using Samsung components in its Pixel smartphones, and this trend will continue, at least in terms of camera sensors in the upcoming Pixel 9 series.
