Android 16 is officially here, and Pixels get first dibs on new features


Android 16 is bringing streamlined notifications, live alerts, and more.

The Google Pixel 9 features a Tensor G4 chip, a vibrant 6.3-inch Actua Display, an advanced dual-camera system with 50MP wide and 48MP ultrawide lenses (including Macro Focus), an all-day 4700mAh battery with fast and wireless charging, 12GB of RAM, and the promise of seven years of OS and security updates, all wrapped in a durable, IP68 water-resistant design.
