  • Google released a teaser video for the Pixel 9 Pro, confirming a design refresh for the Pixel 9 series.
  • The video features Google Gemini running on the Pixel 9 Pro and composing a breakup letter to an old phone.
  • The Pixel 9 series will be officially unveiled at Google’s launch event on August 13.

Last month, Google surprised us by announcing its Pixel launch event for August 13 this year instead of the usual October timeline. The company has since confirmed the Pixel 9 series will debut at the event, and today, Google dropped an official teaser for the Pixel 9 Pro, showcasing its brand-new design and hinting at its powerful AI capabilities.

The teaser video is live on the Google Store website and shows Google Gemini running on the new Pixel 9 Pro, with a demo of the AI writing a breakup letter to an old phone. The letter is obviously a fun way to highlight how the Pixel 9 Pro is a major upgrade, implying that once you’ve experienced it, you won’t look back. Google’s X (formerly Twitter) account reposted the video with the caption, “It can do a lot—even let your old phone down easy.”
