Google Pixel 9 Pro

The Google Pixel 9 Pro has a non-folding, non-rugged body measuring 152.8 × 72 × 8.5 mm and weighing 199 g, with a total volume of 93.5136 cm³. It carries an IP68 Ingress Protection rating, meaning it is fully waterproof against dust and sustained water immersion. The device has a French Repairability Index score of 8.4 out of 10, reflecting a relatively serviceable construction. Operating temperatures range from 0 °C to 32 °C, defining the thermal envelope within which the device is rated to function reliably.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro features a 6.3″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1280 × 2856 px at a pixel density of 495 ppi, delivering sharp and detailed visuals. The panel runs at a 120 Hz refresh rate and reaches a typical brightness of 2000 nits, supported by a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. It supports both HDR10 and HDR10+, though Dolby Vision is not supported. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and includes an Always-On Display mode, while there is no secondary screen. Dolby Vision aside, the screen covers a broad range of content standards for everyday and media use.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro is powered by the Google Tensor G4 chipset, built on a 4 nm process with an 8-thread CPU configuration running at 1 × 3.1, 3 × 2.6, and 4 × 1.92 GHz using big.LITTLE and HMP scheduling, and a thermal design power of 6 W. Graphics are handled by the integrated Mali-G715 MC7 GPU clocked at 940 MHz, with support for DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The device comes with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4200 MHz — the maximum supported by the SoC — alongside 1024 GB of internal storage. Cache consists of 8 MB at the L2 level and 4 MB at L3. Benchmark results include an AnTuTu score of 1,148,512, a Geekbench 6 single-core result of 1600, and a multi-core result of 4500. Additional platform features include integrated LTE, 64-bit support, NX bit, ARM TrustZone hardware security, and integrated graphics.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro sports a triple rear camera system with sensors at 50 MP (f/1.7), 48 MP (f/2.8), and 48 MP (f/2.0), all backed by BSI CMOS sensors and optical image stabilization, with 5× optical zoom available across the array. Autofocus options include phase-detection, laser, and touch AF, and the system supports continuous autofocus during video recording. On the video side, the main camera captures footage at up to 4320 × 30 fps with HDR10 recording and slow-motion support. Stills can be shot in RAW format with full manual controls covering exposure, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus, and additional shooting modes include burst, panorama, timelapse, and HDR. The dual-tone LED flash uses two LEDs but is neither RGB nor front-facing, so the 42 MP single-lens front camera — with an f/2.2 aperture — operates without a dedicated flash. The rear camera system holds a DxOMark Mobile score of 158.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro runs Android 14 and receives direct OS updates from the vendor, keeping the software current without relying on third-party distribution. On the privacy front, the OS includes clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera/microphone access controls, along with the ability to block app tracking; however, Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. Customization options include dynamic and manual theme customization, dark mode, an extra dim mode, widgets, and customizable notifications, though focus modes and app offloading are not supported. The system supports split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, Live Text selection from images, and the ability to play games while they download. On-device machine learning is available, as are offline voice recognition, voice commands, device tracking, a child lock, multi-user accounts, and a battery health check. Wi-Fi password sharing and the ability to use the device as a PC are not supported, nor is Quick Start.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro houses a non-removable 4700 mAh rechargeable battery with a rated battery life of 24 hours. It supports 27 W wired fast charging as well as 21 W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging is also available for topping up other devices. An ultra power-saving mode helps extend usage when the battery runs low, and a battery level indicator keeps the remaining charge visible at a glance. No charger is included in the box.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro includes stereo speakers and three microphones, but omits a 3.5 mm headphone jack and has no built-in radio. For wireless audio, it supports aptX, aptX HD, and LDAC, covering a broad range of high-quality Bluetooth codec options, though aptX Adaptive is not supported.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro supports 5G cellular connectivity and accommodates one physical SIM alongside one eSIM, with no external memory slot available. Wi-Fi coverage spans Wi-Fi 4 through Wi-Fi 7 (802.11n/ac/ax/be), including the 6 GHz band via Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 handles short-range wireless connections. Wired connectivity is handled by a USB Type-C port running at USB 3.2, though there is no HDMI output. NFC is present, and the device also features emergency SOS via satellite and crash detection. On the sensors side, the phone includes a fingerprint scanner, GPS with Galileo support, a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and barometer; however, it does not include a heart rate monitor, infrared sensor, iris scanner, or support for ANT+, 3D facial recognition, motion tracking, or optical tracking. A stylus is not included.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro includes a video light for illuminating subjects during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, uses no e-paper technology, and is not covered by sapphire glass.
