WASHINGTON — Alphabet Inc.’s Google unveiled a new lineup of AI-powered phones and devices.
When Google released its first Android smartphone in 2008, the company’s founders slid onstage in roller skates. One of them, Larry Page, said the device was as advanced as a computer had been a few years before.
Google is hoping the features will help the four new phones – including the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and the double-wide Pixel 9 Fold – finally overcome consumer apathy to its smartphone ambitions.
It is Google’s latest attempt to make a splash in a smartphone market dominated by its partner Samsung, as well as by Apple, which has already detailed the AI capabilities coming to the next generation of iPhones.
Google’s new Pixel phones were announced recently, which includes four main models: “Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 9 Pro Fold.”
This series features a number of fundamental improvements, sharper angles, and a more prominent rear camera strip, giving the phones a modern and elegant look.
The displays are also up to 35 percent brighter than previous versions, reaching 2,700 nits.
