### **Introduction to Gemini: Google’s Mobile AI Assistant**
Good morning! For years, we’ve been pursuing our vision of a mobile AI assistant that you can truly work with. Today, we’re excited to share that we’ve completely rebuilt the entire assistant experience around our Gemini models. With your permission, a truly capable AI assistant can help connect your relevant personal data with all the valuable knowledge that Google has organized and made accessible.
For example, imagine creating a daily workout routine based on your personal trainer’s email or using your resume in Google Drive to write a new bio for work. Or, consider this scenario: your friend mentions dietary restrictions in Keep, and you want to plan a dinner outing. With Gemini, you can seamlessly integrate these tasks into your daily life.
Gemini is not just limited to text—it’s multimodal, meaning it can work with images and videos as well. Let’s take a look at a live demo. If I come across a concert poster for Sabrina Carpenter, I can open Gemini, take a photo, and ask it to check my calendar to see if I’m free when she’s coming to San Francisco this year. Gemini pulls relevant content from the image, connects with my calendar, and provides me with the information I need.
However, we encountered a little demo issue earlier. Let me try that one more time. There we go! Thank you, demo spirits. Now, I’ll ask Gemini to set a reminder to check ticket prices tonight at 7 PM—just in case they haven’t sold out already. And just like that, the reminder is set.
As we wrap up this video, I’ll bring up Gemini one more time. By taking a photo and asking it to create a list of the foods mentioned in the video, Gemini connects with YouTube to find relevant information from the captions. And there it is—your scavenger hunt is complete.
We believe that a truly helpful personal AI assistant must do more. That’s why we’re so excited about Gemini Live. Let’s dive into how it works.

### **Gemini Live: A Truly Capable AI Assistant**
When we first go live with Gemini, there will be 10 different voices for you to choose from. You can pick your favorite voice now and always make changes later in settings. For example, you could choose a voice like this: “Hi, Gemini. How are you doing? Hi there, I’m doing well, thanks for asking. It’s always nice to hear from someone.”
Gemini Live is available first in English to Gemini Advanced subscribers. Everything we just showed you—including live demos—is beginning to roll out today and over the next few weeks on Pixel, Samsung, and other Android phones.

### **Introducing the New Pixel 9 Family**
We’ve heard from Pixel users that just because they want a pro phone doesn’t necessarily mean they want a big phone. For the first time, you can choose between Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The new Pixel 9 phones are twice as durable as the previous generation, thanks to a luxurious metal frame with seamless rounded corners and scratch-resistant flat Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Pixel 9 has an even brighter actual display, while the Pro Models use our super actual displays. Underneath that bright display is a new ultrasonic sensor for fingerprint unlock, which is now 50% faster. The Google Tensor G4 chip, our fourth-generation processor, is our fastest and most efficient yet. Pixel 9 is the first phone to launch with Gemini Nano, and the TPU intenser G4 can generate an industry-leading mobile output rate of up to 45 tokens per second.
We’ve also upgraded the memory across the entire Pixel 9 family: 12 GB of RAM for Pixel 9 and 16 GB for the Pro Models. A new Vapor chamber in Pixel 9 Pro provides advanced cooling technology to ensure your phone maintains peak performance even when it’s working hard for you. The pixel9 phones deliver significantly more battery life than last year’s devices.

### **Pixel 9 Pro Fold: Combining Power and Versatility**
The entire line of Pixel 9s is also the first Android phones to include our new satellite SOS feature, so you can contact emergency responders and share your location even without cellular service. Satellite SOS will be available first in the US on Pixel 9 devices regardless of your carrier plan.
Now, let’s talk about our most forward-looking and versatile phone: Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It’s noticeably thinner and lighter than our first-gen foldable. When it’s folded, it has the same size display as Pixel 9 Pro and comparable thickness—so it feels and functions like a phone. When you unfold it, you get an 8-inch tablet with the biggest and brightest super actual Flex display, which is 80% brighter than the first generation.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold also comes with the same Tensor G4 and 16 GB of RAM to power great new features that are just for foldables. Whether you’re taking photos, editing videos, or multitasking, this device delivers unmatched performance.

### **Pricing and Availability**
Pixel 9 starts at $799, Pixel 9 Pro comes in two sizes starting at $999, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold starts at $1,799. The entire Pixel 9 family is available for pre-order today in the US, Japan, and Europe. Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL will begin shipping on August 22nd, with the rest of the phones starting to ship in September.
All three Pro phones come with one year of Gemini Advanced and 2 TB of cloud storage.

### **Enhanced Features: Weather App, Call Notes, and More**
One of the most common things we do on our phone is check the weather. With AI, we’ve made this experience much more helpful and delightful. The new Pixel Weather app is beautifully designed with super-accurate weather forecasts, and Gemini Nano generates a custom AI weather report so you don’t have to scroll through numbers to get a sense of the day’s weather. You can even customize the app based on what you want to see—like keeping an eye on the UV index to decide if you need sunscreen.
Pixel Call Assist has been blocking spam callers for years, and now it gets even better with call notes. When activated, it notifies everyone on the call and starts transcribing and summarizing the conversation in a completely private manner.

### **Pixel Screenshots: Making Images Searchable**
Pixel Screenshots analyzes the content of an image and makes it searchable. For example, I can quickly add this to my collection of gift ideas and make a note that Christine likes this. If I want to look through all the other gift ideas I’ve saved, I can open up the Pixel Screenshots app and navigate to that collection.
Pixel Screenshots is designed to extract information within an image, so you can type in more complex queries like “t-shirt price” and see not only the original image but also an answer based on the information in the image. It can even remember where you grabbed each screenshot, allowing you to tap to go back to where you found them and buy that shirt.

### **Pixel Studio: A First-of-Its-Kind Image Generator**
Every Pixel 9 phone ships with the new Pixel Studio—a first-of-its-kind image generator powered by an on-device diffusion model running on Tensor G4. Combined with our Imagine 3 text-to-image model in the cloud, you can create stunning images by simply typing whatever you want.

### **Pixel Camera: The World’s First AI-Powered Camera Experience**
This year, we’ve rebuilt our signature HDR+ pipeline from the ground up, making improvements across exposure, sharpness, detail, contrast, tone mapping, and white balance. The result is more accurate skin tones, texture, shadows, and even better night sight for exquisite low-light shots.
We’re bringing that same HDR+ pipeline to Panorama mode as well. After capturing the full scene, Pixel runs the photos through the full image processing pipeline for gorgeous, incredibly detailed panoramas. Last year, we made group photos a lot better with “best take,” but one of the biggest problems with group photos is how to include the entire group. The new Adme feature fixes that—so you can be included in your family vacation photo or that once-in-a-lifetime photo with your favorite athlete.

### **Pixel Watch 3: Advanced Fitness and Health Monitoring**
With Pixel Watch 3, we’re bringing our best lineup yet. It delivers a gorgeous iconic design for the first time ever in two sizes—an all-new 45 mm size that’s perfect for people who want more from their watch, giving you 40% more display and a 35% bigger battery.
Pixel Watch 3 also includes a brand new actra display with up to 2,000 nits of brightness—twice as bright as before. It can flex all the way down to one knit in a dark room. The smaller 41 mm uses the same extra technology, giving you 10% more display in the same compact size.

### **Pixel Buds Pro 2: Cutting-Edge Audio Technology**
Finally, we’re introducing our final product today—the new Pixel Buds Pro 2. We’ve made a multi-year investment and designed our very own chip: the new Google Tensor A1. This chip brings ultra-low latency audio processing, adapting to your sound environment up to 3 million times per second. The result is active noise cancellation that’s two times as strong as the previous generation.
Pixel Buds Pro 2 delivers significantly longer battery life—even with twice-stronger ANC. They’re also the smallest premium noise-cancelling earbuds on the market and the lightest in their category. A new twist-to-adjust stabilizer allows you to make them more secure during a workout or relax with them around the house.
With Gemini, Pixel Buds Pro 2 can access your email, ask for walking directions, create a YouTube music playlist for your workout, and so much more.
