The upcoming Pixel 9 family of smartphones will feature the next generation of on-device AI, with Google equipping them with the necessary tools for this advancement.

Recent leaks, including images of Google’s 2024 flagship smartphones and benchmark results, reveal a significant increase in processing power across the three Pixel 9 models, with performance improvements of 16%, 31%, and 34% compared to the Pixel 8.

The benchmarks indicate varying results among the three Pixel 9 variants, possibly due to hardware differences; larger models might manage heat more effectively, keeping chipsets cooler. Additionally, since the phones are not set to launch for another three to four months, the software optimizations are still in progress.

This performance boost aligns with current smartphone trends, enhancing the speed and capabilities of locally run AI tools. The combination of the Pixel 9 and the new Tensor G4 chip will accelerate AI on smartphones, enabling Google to continue shaping the role of artificial intelligence in various ecosystems.
