Google Pixel 9 Pro / Google Pixel 8 Pro

Google Pixel 9 Pro: 16 GB RAM, 128 GB–1 TB; rest-of-world model GEC77 (5G Sub-6), US model GR83Y (adds mmWave), Japan GWVK6. The Pixel 9 Pro XL offers the same hardware with a 6.8-inch display and a larger battery.

Google Pixel 8 Pro: Pixel 8 Pro (2023); 12 GB RAM, 128/256/512 GB (1 TB in the US). Model number GC3VE, G1MNW or GE9DP depending on market. The Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 Pro are separate models.

SpecificationGoogle Pixel 9 ProGoogle Pixel 8 Pro
Release year20242023
Display6.3-inch (161 mm) Super Actua LTPO OLED; 1280 × 2856, 495 ppi, 20:9; HDR support

It is a higher-resolution panel in the same body as the Pixel 9; 495 ppi renders text and photo edges more sharply. Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than the measured diagonal.

Google
6.7-inch (170 mm) Super Actua LTPO OLED; 1344 × 2992 at 489 PPI; 20:9; Smooth Display (1–120 Hz)

An LTPO panel can drop the refresh rate as low as 1 Hz for static content, saving power with the always-on display and while reading, and rises to 120 Hz for motion. Google notes it is not available for all apps or content. Because the corners are rounded, the actual viewable area is less than 6.7 inches.

Google
Refresh rateSmooth Display, 1–120 Hz (LTPO)

The LTPO panel drops as low as 1 Hz for static content and the always-on display to save power, and rises to 120 Hz when scrolling. Google notes 120 Hz is not available in every app.

Brightness and contrastUp to 2,000 nits (HDR) and up to 3,000 nits peak; >2,000,000:1 contrast

HDR brightness is measured with the whole screen lit and peak brightness with only 5% lit; the peak applies to small bright areas in sunlight.

Google
Up to 1,600 nits (HDR) and up to 2,400 nits (peak); >1,000,000:1 contrast; HDR support, full 24-bit colour

Google measures the HDR figure at a 100% on-pixel ratio and the peak figure at a 5% on-pixel ratio; 2,400 nits is a ceiling for small bright areas.

Google
Cover glass and buildCorning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front and back (silky matte back); polished aluminium frame

The finishes are the reverse of the Pixel 9, which has a glossy back and a matte frame. The aluminium in the housing is 100% recycled.

DurabilityIP68 dust and water resistance (IEC 60529)

Google notes the protection can diminish with wear, repair or drops and that liquid damage voids the warranty.

Google
IP68 dust and water resistance (IEC 60529)

Resistance can diminish over time; liquid damage voids the warranty.

Google
ProcessorGoogle Tensor G4; Titan M2 security coprocessor

It is the same chip as the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL; there is no performance difference.

Google
Google Tensor G3; Titan M2 security coprocessor

Tensor G3 includes a TPU that accelerates on-device AI models. Titan M2 is a separate security chip that protects the lock screen and encryption keys.

Google
Memory and storage16 GB RAM; 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB storage

There is no card slot; storage and colour options vary by region.

Google
12 GB LPDDR5X RAM; 128, 256 or 512 GB UFS 3.1 (also 1 TB in the US)

Storage options vary by region and channel; there is no memory card slot.

Google
Main camera50 MP Octa PD wide; f/1.68, 82° field of view, 1/1.31-inch sensor; optical + electronic stabilisation

Pro controls allow full 50 MP capture; the Pixel 9 only saves binned 12.5 MP photos. Optical quality is offered at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x.

Ultrawide camera48 MP Quad PD; f/1.7, 123° field of view, 1/2.55-inch sensor, autofocus, Macro Focus Google—
Telephoto camera48 MP Quad PD; f/2.8, 22° field of view, 5x optical zoom, 1/2.55-inch sensor, optical stabilisation; Super Res Zoom up to 30x

Magnification beyond 5x is done in software; Google says 10x still gives near-optical quality. A multi-zone laser (LDAF) sensor assists focusing.

Google

Front camera42 MP Dual PD with autofocus; f/2.2, 103° ultrawide Google10.5 MP dual PD (ƒ/2.2, 95°, autofocus)

The standard Pixel 8 has a fixed-focus front camera; the autofocus on the 8 Pro keeps close selfies sharp.

Google
VideoRear: 8K 30 fps with Video Boost, 4K and 1080p at 24/30/60 fps, 10-bit HDR, Super Res Zoom Video up to 20x, Night Sight Video; front: 4K 30/60 fps

Video Boost processes recorded video on Google’s cloud servers to improve colour, lighting and stabilisation, so the result is not available immediately and an internet connection is needed. 8K and Super Res Zoom Video are only available with Video Boost on.

Google
Rear: 4K and 1080p at 24/30/60 fps, 10-bit HDR; front: 4K at 24/30/60 fps; Video Boost and Night Sight Video; slow motion up to 240 fps; digital zoom up to 20x

Video Boost uploads video to Google’s servers to reprocess colour, lighting and stabilisation; it needs the Google Photos app and the result is not instant. Night Sight Video uses this processing in low light.

Google
Battery4,700 mAh typical (minimum 4,558 mAh); 24+ hours, up to 100 hours with Extreme Battery Saver

The battery matches the Pixel 9’s capacity. Figures come from pre-production tests in the US using a median user profile.

ChargingWired up to 27 W (about 55% in 30 minutes with the Google 45 W USB-C charger); Qi wireless charging, 21 W with Pixel Stand (2nd gen), 12 W with Qi EPP; Battery Share reverse wireless charging

No charger is included. 37 W wired charging is only on the larger Pixel 9 Pro XL.

WirelessWi-Fi 7 (2.4/5/6 GHz, 2x2 + 2x2 MIMO; Wi-Fi 6 in India); Bluetooth 5.3 with dual antennas; NFC; Google Cast; ultra-wideband (UWB) chip

The UWB chip measures distance and direction to compatible devices and tags with centimetre-level precision; the standard Pixel 9 lacks it.

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be; 2.4 + 5 + 6 GHz, 2x2 + 2x2 MIMO; US, CA, UK, EU, AU); Bluetooth 5.3; Ultra-Wideband; NFC; Google Cast

Wi-Fi 6E is listed in Japan and Wi-Fi 6 in Taiwan, Singapore and India. Ultra-Wideband measures direction and distance to compatible devices.

Colours and warrantyObsidian, Porcelain, Hazel, Rose Quartz; one-year warranty in the US, Canada, Japan and some Asian countries, two years in EU countries and the UK Google—
Front and back glass—Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 cover glass; matte Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back; polished aluminium frame

The matte back shows fewer fingerprints; the standard Pixel 8 has a polished back and a matte frame.

Google
Rear cameras—50 MP Octa PD wide (ƒ/1.68, 1/1.31", 82°); 48 MP Quad PD ultrawide (ƒ/1.95, 125.5°, autofocus); 48 MP Quad PD telephoto (ƒ/2.8, 21.8°, 5x optical); Super Res Zoom up to 30x

Optical and electronic stabilisation work together on the wide and telephoto cameras. Zoom beyond 5x is digital. Pro controls allow manual shutter, ISO and focus and high-resolution (50 MP) shots. A multi-zone laser autofocus sensor helps focus in low light.

Google
Temperature sensor—Contactless temperature sensor in the rear camera bar

Google says the sensor can measure the temperature of an object, such as a pan or milk in a baby’s bottle. Google said it applied to the FDA for body-temperature use; that use depends on the country.

Google
Battery and charging—5,050 mAh typical (4,950 mAh minimum); up to 30 W wired, about 50% in 30 minutes; Qi wireless (23 W on Pixel Stand 2nd gen, 12 W on Qi EPP); Battery Share

Google quotes beyond 24-hour battery life and up to 72 hours in Extreme Battery Saver (many features including 5G off). Figures use the separately sold Google 30 W USB-C charger (USB-PD 3.0 PPS). Battery Share significantly reduces the phone’s battery life.

Google
Port and audio—USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2; stereo speakers; three microphones; spatial audio

The bundled cable runs at USB 2.0 speed. There is no headphone jack. A Quick Switch adapter is in the box.
