Paul Monckton, a senior contributor, reports that Google will bundle a valuable offer with all new Pixel 9 Pro smartphones. According to insiders, each purchase of a Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold will come with a free one-year subscription to Google One AI Premium, worth $239.88. This updated information confirms earlier leaks and highlights the growing significance of Google’s AI models in their Pixel devices.
Materials included in the report show promotional content for the Pixel 9 Pro series, emphasizing this significant bundled offer. The Google One AI Premium subscription features 2TB of cloud storage and advanced AI functionalities, particularly via the Gemini Advanced AI model. This AI service includes enhanced features for Gmail and Google Docs, among other products.
However, there are some caveats. Customers already subscribed to high-tier Google One plans (5TB and higher) may face difficulties redeeming the bundled offer without creating a new account, as Google One AI Premium is presently available only at the 2TB level. Users must also be at least 18 years old, proficient in English, and reside in countries where Google One AI Premium is available.
The Pixel 9 Pro’s bundled Gemini Advanced subscription is set to become even more useful. A report indicates that Google is testing several new extensions that allow Gemini to connect to other apps and services, such as Google Calendar, Keep, Tasks, Google Home, and more. These enhancements could position Gemini as a potential replacement for Google Assistant in the future.
While the latest report doesn’t delve into details about the standard Pixel 9, it hints that the base model might receive a six-month subscription to Google One AI Premium instead of a full year. This bundled offer with the Pixel 9 series aims to showcase the full capabilities of Google’s AI advancements, promoting more frequent upgrades among Pixel users. The upcoming launch of the Pixel 9 range on August 13 is expected to officially unveil these new features and incentives.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL has generated considerable interest, but how does it stand against previous iterations of Google’s smartphones? We’ve seen big Pixel phones for a while now, and this year introduces a further split in the lineup. The Pixel 9 Pro XL continues the “Pro” sizing legacy, while the smaller Pixel 9 Pro offers a more compact device without compromising on camera hardware and internal specifications.
Video comparisons with previous Pixel generations give us a vivid picture of how the Pixel 9 Pro XL measures up against models like the Pixel 4, 4XL, 5, 6, 6 Pro, 7, 7 Pro, and 8 Pro.

The evolution of Google’s hardware over the past five or six years is fascinating.
The Pixel 3 XL, once considered a large device, now looks almost tiny next to the hulking Pixel 9 Pro XL. Interestingly, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is slightly smaller than the Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro, likely due to innovations in bezel reduction and space management in the upcoming 2024 flagship. This collection of comparisons reveals significant design changes since the Pixel 3 era, shifting towards an iPhone-like aesthetic and a boxier design.
The updated floating camera bar on the Pixel 9 Pro XL protrudes more than any previous Pixel camera system, perhaps making it the most distinctive design element of the series to date. As we approach the official unveiling at the “Made by Google” event on August 13, there’s only a limited amount of information left to discover about the Pixel 9 series. Still, the anticipation continues to build, and more interesting details might emerge.
Google has confirmed that it will be launching the Pixel 9 series, including the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, on August 13. The announcement comes just ahead of Apple’s expected iPhone launch in September. In a move to generate anticipation, Google teased the Pixel 9 Pro Fold on its site.
The launch event will commence at 10 a.m. PT. The Pro Fold is expected to be an enhanced version of the previous foldable, Google Pixel Fold, which was released in June 2023. The event invite highlighted the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, hinting that the new foldable will be more feature-rich than its predecessor.
Interestingly, there was no mention of the standard Pixel 9, but it is likely that Google will also release it on the same date. The first glimpses of the Pixel 9 family show a departure from the previous “visor” look seen on the Pixel 6. Instead, the new design features a wide pill-shaped camera block with three cameras, which protrudes slightly from the back of the phone.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is equipped with four cameras arranged in two rows. Both the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold exhibit noticeable design changes, including flat sides resembling the latest iPhone models, moving away from the rounded edges of earlier Pixel phones. The cover screen of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold features more pronounced rounded edges, blending seamlessly into the metal frame.
While the official event will provide more details, Google’s strategy of teasing its products ahead of launch has once again sparked interest and speculation.
