#Galaxy Unpacked 2024 "Unfold your story" recap ⬆️
Another hands-on and prices of the #pixel 9 series.

Ukrainian tech store Pixophone posted 2 hands-on videos of the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and "Pixel 9 Pro XL". In the first one, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is compared to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, while in the second one the 3 phones are compared to each other. These videos show Google's updated design language once again, with all 3 having. flat sides and a pill-shaped camera bump (unlike the camera strip seen on earlier Pixel models).

Meanwhile, the outlet DeaLabs (via Android Authority) has obtained pricing and color options for the new phones:
- Pixel 9 will cost €899 for the 128GB model and €999 for the 256GB one. It will be available in Obsidian, Porcelain, Cosmo, and Mojito. Notably, it's more expensive than the Pixel 8 by about 100 euros.
- Pixel 9 Pro will cost €1,099 (128GB), €1,199 (256GB) or €1,329 (512GB). All 3 storage options are available in Obsidian and Porcelain, while the first 2 are also available in Hazel and Pink. The 128GB version's price hasn't changed, while other versions are more expensive.
- Pixel 9 Pro XL will cost €1,199 (128GB), €1,299 (256GB) or €1,429 (512GB). All 3 are available in Obsidian, Porcelain, and Hazel, with the 256GB one also being available in Pink. There is also a 1TB variant, available in Obsidian, for €1,689.

There is also a "Pixel 9 Pro Fold" mentioned. It costs €1,899 (256GB) or €2,029 (512GB), and, like the Pixel Fold, is available in Obsidian and Porcelain. For reference, Pixophone only has the 128GB variants of the Pixel 9, 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL, listed at 49130, 56770 and 65510 Ukrainian hryvnia respectively.

And, to sweeten the deal, Google is adding a bonus: according to code found in the Google Search app (via 9to5Google), Pixel 9 will come with 6 months of Gemini Advanced, which unlocks the company's best AI models in the Gemini app, for free, while Pixel 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL and 9 Pro Fold raise this to a year.

Google's event takes place on August 13.
This is the first time that hands-on photos of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold have leaked.

The inner screen has a less noticeable crease, while the camera, which appears to be a cutout, has been moved to the upper right corner.
Alongside the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, there are also new photos of the other 3 Pixel 9 series phones, starting with the Pixel 9.
NCC, a Taiwanese regulatory agency, has recently certified the Pixel 9 series. As part of the certification report, it has shared photos, including the first real world photos of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, as well as battery sizes and charging speed.
The NCC also certified a 45W charger with a round design.

This charger is likely meant for Pixel 9 Pro XL, as the NCC reports an approximate charging speed of 32.67 W. The maximum speed will be faster - for reference, while Pixel 8 is advertised as supporting 27W fast charging, the NCC reports its charging speed as 24.66 W.

Knowing this and that the new charger supports 45W fast charging, Pixel 9 Pro XL might have an advertised charging speed of 45W.
