Google's new Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL handsets are now available for purchase from Aussie retailers and carriers. Unfortunately, that also means that it's too late to take advantage of any pre-order offers.
The Pixel 9 starts at AU$1,349 and is available in Obsidian, Porcelain, Wintergreen and Peony colour options. In terms of price, this is a AU$150 step up from last year's Pixel 8, which started at AU$1,199.
As for the pro-level models, the Pixel 9 Pro will arrive at a later date, starting at $1,699, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL is available now and starts at AU$1,849. Both devices come in Obsidian, Porcelain, Hazel and Rose Quartz colourways.
In terms of specs, all three models in the Pixel 9 series are powered by Google's new Tensor G4 chipset, which boasts improved Gemini AI features and battery life, along with a Titan M2 security co-processor. The Pro models also offer a whopping 16GB of RAM, while the standard Pixel 9 comes with 12GB of RAM.
Both the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL boast Google's brightest Super Actua displays to date, said to achieve a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, while the Pixel 9's standard Actual display can reach 2,700 nits. Each model supports HDR and full 24-bit depth for 16 million colours.
