According to Droid Life it looks like the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro is set for August 13th.
That way earlier than years past!

Google's Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel Watch 3 Get a Crazy Early Official Date

Google is going to announce the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel Watch 3 much earlier than expected. We should know pricing, release date, and more in August.

I'm pretty stoked about this. I hope that means they'll ship before the end of August. I have a big Asia trip coming mid September and have been having issues with my P8 so I was considering getting the 8Pro or (gasp!) even an iPhone so I have a reliable phone for the trip. I'll probably hang on a little longer and wait for Pixel 9 announcement. If they ship relatively quickly after the announcement then it would be perfect timing for me!

Might bite if I can get a good trad in on my 8. Would love the Pro in a smaller size.

I'm looking forward to the tensor 5 chip but if trade in is good I might bite

Super excited since my birthday is the 8/19

Looking forward to another oem providing the choice of a smaller "pro" device if the rumours are true .

Still have tensor dread though, hopefully 4th time is the charm.

If you don’t mind my asking, what is the reason for your Tensor Phobia?

It's terrible efficiency, performance and thermals aside , the modem performance has been the game stopper for me previously. The reason I abandoned my 6p and 7p. I missed the 8 series all together ( first year missed ever ). I use my phone as a.....phone.

For the money segment using Exynos is not acceptable.

The rumour of an improved Samsung modem is interested and will hopefully bring the range into line with it's rivals.

I think if a smaller "pro" arrives , I might be sucked in anyway .
Until the S25 comes along anyway

Everyone is sure getting their spring wound up over the Pixel 9 series.

We’ll see how reality compares with the hype.

Luckily I always have low expectations of pixels these days.
