Google's new Pixel series 9 and Gemini AI launch sounds like a creative dream – but is it too good to be true?

Google's Pixel 9 is equipped with Gemini AI.

Google announced the latest additions to its Pixel family yesterday, including four new smartphones equipped with on-device Gemini AI capabilities that are powerful enough to rival Samsung's Galaxy AI. The Google Pixel 9 is the entry-level handset, and then there's the Pixel 9 Pro, the Pixel 9 XL (for a larger display), and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold which is said to be the best new camera phone in the foldable market. 

If you caught the Made by Google event held last night, then you'll already know that each of these new Google devices is powered by the new Google Tensor G4 chip, and are the first phones designed for the Gemini era. But, many people have had a negative response to the new range, and are questioning whether the specs are really up to scratch. We're going to dive into what makes this new Pixel generation the best one yet (supposedly), with a focus on AI, design, and camera features.
