Google is all set to host the Made by Google event to showcase its upcoming Pixel 9 series models on August 13. The models will arrive in India on August 14.

Not only that, the Pixel 9 series will be available in offline stores.

Reliance Digital teased the availability of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold via its Facebook handle. Buyers can also expect the availability of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL on these shopping platforms. The pre-orders for these phones are expected to go live after the launch. The latest move also hints that Flipkart will no longer be the exclusive seller of the upcoming Google products.

The recent update comes amid rumours that Google may only launch the two Pixel smartphones in India. The teaser image of the Pixel 9 on Croma and the Pixel 9 Pro on Google India are strong indications that Google will likely launch all four Pixel models in India this year. For context, the Pixel 9 series will likely debut with a Tensor G4 chipset.

Google Pixel lineup is famous among Pixel fans for its cameras and software. The series may ship with a range of new Gemini AI features. While Google introduces new Android with every new Pixel at launch, the trend may be different this time. Pixel 9 lineup may ship with Android 14 and receive the Android 15 update later.
