The new Pixel 9 smartphone series is expected to be one of the major announcements that Google is expected to make during the company’s hardware launch event tonight.

On the other hand, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are rumored to arrive with improvements to battery life and audio performance, as well as new color options.
Gemini AI and on-device AI capabilities will likely be showcased by Google at its upcoming launch event, and the Pixel 9 series could be the only handsets to get the new AI features for a few months.
