The new flagship lineup by Google is going to be unveiled during the event and those phones are most likely going to be the stars of the show. The Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL are the successors to the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. The Pixel 9 Pro, on the other hand, will be the more compact Pro-branded Pixel this year.
The three phones will come with Google's next-gen tensor G4 chip. The Pixel 9 is expected to rock a 50MP primary camera and a 48MP ultra-wide. It is expected to come with 12 gigs of RAM.
The Pixel 9 Pro is expected to come with a 6.3-inch display, providing you with an option for a more compact flagship phone. It is rumored to come with 16 gigs of RAM for all these sweet generative AI features, up to 512GB of storage, a redesigned triple-camera system with a 48MP telephoto lens, and a 42MP selfie camera.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL will be a bigger phone for those of you who'd like more screen and Pro features. According to some rumors, it will come with a huge 6.9-inch screen, while other rumors are more conservative and place it in the 6.5-6.7-inch category. Specs for the 9 Pro XL should be the same as the 9 Pro, with probably a difference in battery size.
Reportedly, there will be a tweak in the design for the phones as well. Judging by Google's own teasers, we're seeing flat edges on the Pro, a better-looking camera bar, and an overall more polished aesthetic.

Google's second foldable phone will come at the event as well, and it's expected to be called the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This is the successor of the Pixel Fold, but this time, included in the 9 series, which suggests it may come with the same chip as the 9 phones. The foldable is expected to come with a slight redesign as well, a smaller crease (hopefully), and a more elegant look overall.

During the Google I/O developer conference, we learned that Google plans to integrate AI more with Android 15 - and maybe we're going to see the end of Google Assistant, to be replaced by Gemini.
