If Pixel 8a will be released, its price will increase to $499. However, the fate of this phone depends entirely on the performance of the Pixel 7a in the market.
Fall 2024 Google will release the Pixel 9 series, for the first time including three devices. The first will be the vanilla Google Pixel 9, which will likely be the same size and overall format as the Pixel 8. The upcoming Pixel 9 Pro will have a 6.7-inch screen. However, a more compact professional model with a 6.3-inch screen may also appear.
Sources say Google wants to emulate Apple’s successful size strategy, which means it needs a pro-grade phone that’s not as big as the Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel 9 will be similar to the iPhone 14, while the 6.3-inch pro model will be similar to the iPhone 14 Pro.
All three phones must be submitted to Tensor G4which appears in the report under the code name “redondo”.
Google Pixel series in 2025
Through 2025, Google is considering multiple options for its Pixel roadmap, which will be heavily influenced by the success or failure of its plans for 2023 and 2024.
First, Google is toying with the idea of making a foldable phone to compete with the Galaxy Z Flip series. If the company follows this path, then the launch of the main Pixel series in the fall of 2025 will include folding “clamshell”, the basic flagship Pixel 10 with two Pro-iterations – smaller and larger.
