The teaser, found on the Google Store website, utilizes a captivating color scheme reminiscent of Gemini’s visual identity. The animation unveils the words “Google Pixel,” which then transforms into the Roman numeral “IX,” signifying the upcoming Pixel 9. Following this, a shimmering effect sweeps across the silhouette of the device, revealing a lighter-colored phone with the signature Pixel camera bar boasting three lenses – a clear indication of the Pro model. The video concludes with the date of the “Made by Google” event displayed in Roman numerals, August 13th, 2024.
This teaser, coupled with Google’s repeated emphasis on Android, Gemini, and Pixel during the event announcement, paints a clear picture. The August 13th keynote, live-streamed on YouTube, promises to showcase the exciting possibilities that arise when Google’s mobile platform, Android, and its advanced AI, Gemini, converge.
The recent merging of Android and Pixel into the “Platforms & Devices” division fuels anticipation for a seamless software and hardware experience. Additionally, whispers from Google I/O 2024 suggested Pixel devices this year might be the first to integrate Gemini Nano with Multimodality, potentially powering features like advanced spam call detection.
The rumors don’t stop there. Google also showcased Gemini Live at I/O, a conversational AI experience slated to receive live camera capabilities from Astra later this year. With the Pixel 9 series potentially being the first to embrace these advancements, the “Made by Google” event promises to be a landmark occasion for Google’s smartphone lineup. Google even throws in a few playful references to “magic” on their Store homepage, further amping up the excitement for what’s to come.
Mark your calendars for August 13th – the future of Pixel, powered by the magic of Google AI, is just around the corner.
