New Pixel 9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25 Designs Revealed

This week in the Android world, significant developments emerged from Google, Samsung, and Honor. The highly anticipated Pixel 9 series, which includes the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, is set to capture consumer interest. Notably, Google has introduced a split in its Pro line, with the Pixel 9 Pro not being a direct successor to the Pixel 8 Pro. Instead, it features upgraded specifications within a design similar to the standard Pixel 9, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL serves as the true successor to the Pixel 8 Pro. The new foldable model boasts a robust 4650 mAh battery, promising over 24 hours of usage, alongside 16GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB. In addition to the smartphones, Google unveiled the Pixel Buds Pro 2, which offer enhanced battery life, quicker connectivity, and improved audio codecs. The new earbuds integrate with Google’s Gemini AI assistant, featuring conversation detection that automatically pauses music and activates transparency mode when the user speaks, enhancing real-world interactions. Meanwhile, Samsung is making waves with its upcoming Galaxy S25 series, as leaker @IceUniverse revealed 3D designs showcasing a notable change in the phone's corner design. This alteration may provide a more comfortable grip, with a softer shape that contrasts with the current Galaxy S24 Ultra and the anticipated iPhone 16 Pro Max. Lastly, Chinese manufacturer Honor is promoting its AI Eye Tracking technology through the #HonrTheChallenge campaign, highlighting its potential benefits for individuals with ALS in collaboration with the BBC.
