Google Pixel 9 Pro: Will AI Make Your Phone Smarter Than Ever?

For years, smartphone manufacturers have been claiming that AI is being used in our smartphones, but honestly speaking, that was just a marketing Gemmiks and no real AI features. Things might be different with this new addition to Google Pixel 9 Pro. Google is a leader in the AI market, and its AI model, Gemini, has already been launched. Google promised that the new addition, Google Pixel 9 Pro, is powered by its next-generation AI model, “Gemini”. So, can the Pixel 9 pro finally deliver the promise of a truly intelligent AI-powered phone? Let’s find out.

Models of Google Pixel

As per Google’s official site, there will only be 2 models released this year, and those will be

• Goole Pixel 9 Pro
• Google Pixel Pro Fold

Fold will be a new addition this year. Usually, Pixel launches an XL version as well, but this year, we are seeing a Pro version and a Fold version. Let sneak into the design of both models shared by Google. 

You can see the designs of both Google Pixel 9 Pro and Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold here from the Google site. The design looks cool and sleek, and the fold looks more promising. I hope Pixel excels in this race of folds, as there are many issues in previous fold models of other companies and even Google Pixel Fold One. However, I hope to see positive changes in this fold series with this new version.

The Rise of “AI Assitant” Phones

We already have AI assistants on every phone of ours, like Siri and Google Assistant, and even Samsung has introduced its AI assistant. Still, there were always limitations to these voice assistants. They can answer basic queries of users and can control some home devices as well. Still, they often struggle with complex requests, understanding the context, learning a user’s behavior, and adopting according to that individual. This is where Gemini of Google steps in and will understand the behavior of the user, and we can expect some features like:

• Context-Awareness: Imagine a phone that understands your daily activities and needs. Google’s Pixel 9 Pro with Gemini could predict your needs based on your calendar and suggest restaurants if you travel according to your past tastes and preferences.
  
• On-Device AI Processing: All the previous AI assistants processed their queries on the cloud, which eventually took time, and they also searched the web in some cases. However, with Gemini integrated into this phone, your phone can handle tasks directly on the phone without taking your query to the cloud, which will ensure faster response time and more security.
  
• Personalised Individual Experience: Previous voice assistants were usually just a query to the cloud, along with some basic functionality like phone calls and opening some apps. However, with Gemini in the Google Pixel 9 Pro series, it can learn the habits of a single individual and customize everything from notifications to apps to that user’s liking.

A smarter future?

There are potential benefits to an intelligent phone that go beyond convenience. Imagine your Google Pixel 9 Pro can do these tasks:

•  Real-time translation: Imagine you are on vacation, and rather than hiring a freelancer who can help you with the translation, you have a powerful device in your hand that can be your translator, which does the trick with its in-device AI processing without any lag or processing time.
  
• Proactive Health Monitoring: The new Google Pixel 8 might be able to track your health metrics, use its powerful AI device to identify any health issues, and even encourage users to seek medical attention.
  
• Superior Accessibility: Gemini could offer advanced features for special users, like special features for users with visual impairments or hearing loss, that can make Google Pixel more accessible than ever.

Of course, these are just rumors and our expectations from the new AI-powered Pixel’s flagship phone, but one thing’s for sure: Google Pixel 9 Pro, with its next-generation AI, has the potential to redefine the smartphone experience. With its true potential to redefine the user experience, Pixel 9 can be the phone that finally makes good on the promise of true smartphone intelligence.
