Google’s upcoming Pixel 9 series, set to launch on August 13, has been the subject of numerous leaks revealing its impressive AI-powered features.
The leaked marketing materials and promotional videos showcase a suite of AI-driven capabilities that will set the Pixel 9 apart from its predecessors and competitors.
Circle to Search and Gemini AI Assistant
The Pixel 9 series will continue to leverage Google’s existing AI technologies, such as Circle to Search, which allows users to draw a circle around an object in an image to search for similar items. The devices will also come with the Gemini AI assistant, providing users with a powerful tool for interacting with their smartphones.
Pixel Screenshots: AI-Powered Screenshot Search
One of the most notable AI features of the Pixel 9 is “Pixel Screenshots,” which uses AI to extract information from screenshots and allows users to search through their entire screenshot history. This feature, which is reminiscent of Microsoft’s “Recall” technology, will make it easier for users to find specific information they’ve captured in the past.
Add Me: AI-Assisted Photo Editing
Another AI-powered feature, dubbed “Add Me,” will make it simpler for users to include themselves in group photos by cropping their image from another picture and seamlessly integrating it into the desired scene. This feature demonstrates Google’s commitment to enhancing the user experience through intelligent image processing.
Studio: AI-Generated Images and Videos
The leaked materials also reveal a feature called “Studio,” which has the potential to generate images and videos from text prompts. While the exact capabilities of this feature are still unclear, it suggests that Google is exploring the realm of AI-generated content, a trend that has gained significant traction in recent years.
Tensor G4 SoC and AI Performance
Powering the AI features of the Pixel 9 series is the new Tensor G4 SoC, which is expected to deliver impressive performance. The base Pixel 9 model will come with 12GB of RAM, while the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Fold will feature 16GB of RAM, ensuring smooth operation and efficient handling of AI-intensive tasks.
