If you watched the Pixel 9 launch event earlier this week, you’ll know that Google’s newest hardware had to share the center stage with Google’s Gemini AI. A huge chunk of the event focused on Gemini’s upcoming upgrades and features, plus all the hardware improvements that will allow Pixel phones take full advantage of the tools — both on-device and off.
Google also announced that anyone buying any kind of Pixel 9 Pro, which includes the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, will be able to claim a whole year of access to Gemini Advanced through Google One — something that would normally cost you at least $240. But what if you want to pick up the standard Pixel 9 instead?
