Elevate Your Pixel 9 Experience with Quad Lock

The Pixel 9 series is a technological powerhouse, coming in four cutting-edge models: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Powered by Google’s advanced Tensor G4 chip and a dedicated AI processor, this series delivers fast performance and breathtaking photography. To fully experience the power and potential of your Pixel 9, protect it with the Quad Lock MAG phone case — your perfect adventure companion.

Let’s run through the key features and differences confirmed so far:

Hardware

The new Pixel 9 phones look completely different from the Pixel 8 models. They have flat edges and a new camera design with a wider oval shape. The Pixel 9 has a glass back and a metal frame, while the Pixel 9 Pro models have a metal back and a glass frame. Both phones feel great in your hand.

Google says they used recycled metal to make the phones, which is good for the environment. The Pixel 9 Pro is smaller than past Pro models, but users can opt for the bigger version – the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Display sizes are listed below:

  • Pixel 9: 6.3”
  • Pixel 9 Pro: 6.3”
