Google has unveiled its latest line of Pixel 9 phones, including three Pro models and a foldable device. These phones are not just impressive hardware, but also vessels for Google’s vision of AI. The Pixel 9 phones are powered by Google’s Gemini models, which enable advanced AI features.

Gemini will power the Google Assistant experience on Pixel 9 phones, allowing users to ask questions and get answers. The Gemini Assistant will work on all devices without requiring a subscription. Additionally, the Gemini contextual overlay feature will provide users with information about what’s on their screen.

Google has detailed the privacy protections built into Gemini, including on-device AI processing and no data sharing with third-party AI providers. However, some data will be sent to Google’s servers for processing.
