Check out the photos of Google's "Pixel 9" with an improved design

 The Pixel 9 has a new design: The camera bar no longer stretches to both sides of the back of the phone, and the front and back are covered in Corning's tempered Gorilla Glass Victus 2 glass.

Compared to the Pixel 8, the metal edges are flatter and bolder, which makes the Pixel 9 look more iPhone-like, which is no bad thing.

The Pixel 9 has a 6.3-inch screen, slightly larger than the Pixel 8.

The screen is brighter.

The ultra-wide camera has a 48-megapixel sensor, up from the Pixel 8's 12-megapixel sensor.

Otherwise, the Pixel 9's camera is similar to the Pixel 8's.

The camera bump protrudes from the back of the phone, but it's not very noticeable when placed on a flat surface.

The Pixel 9 comes in four colors: Peony (pictured), Wintergreen (green), Porcelain (white), and Obsidian (black).

The Pixel 9 is equipped with a number of new AI features. "Pixel Studio" is an image generation app available in some countries, including the United States, that allows you to create various images by simply entering text into prompts.

Google also highlighted Gemini, a virtual assistant that's not exclusive to Pixel phones, which users can ask about specific apps on the screen or general questions.

There's also a new "Pixel Screenshots" app available in the US that lets you search the content within screenshots stored on the device.

The Pixel 9 has a slightly larger battery capacity than the Pixel 8.
