Google’s upcoming Pixel 9 series smartphones will be available in India from August 14, the day after the global unveiling. Google has previously confirmed through its India-centric online that the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be available in India from August 14. However, the e-commerce platform Flipkart has also listed the Pixel 9 Pro XL smartphones on its website.
According to Flipkart’s listing page for the Google Pixel 9 series, the new Pixel 9 XL model will also be available in India alongside the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold smartphones. Although Google has not officially confirmed the details about the XL model, it is anticipated to be a larger screen-sized version of the Pixel 9 Pro smartphone.
Surprisingly, neither Google nor its retail partners in India have yet confirmed the availability of the standard Pixel 9 smartphone.
Ahead of the launch, details about the storage configurations of the upcoming Pixel 9 smartphones have surfaced online. According to a report by 9to5Google, the standard Google Pixel 9 will get 12GB RAM, while the Pro models, including the foldable, will feature 16GB RAM. The base variant of the Pixel 9 smartphone is expected to be offered in 128GB and 256GB storage options, while the Pixel 9 Pro is expected to get a 512GB storage option as well. The Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold smartphones would likely skip the 128GB storage option.
