Your Pixel Pro gives you access to a 1-year subscription to Gemini Advanced, our most capable AI model with priority access to new features, at no cost to you.
It comes with 2TB of storage, so, naturally, Pixel 9 Pro users will get that much storage for free.
AI is considered a strong selling point for phones these days and since the upcoming Pixel 9 series isn’t expected to offer much by way of upgrades except for a new chip and updated design, complimentary access to Gemini Advanced may help Google boost sales.
Those buying the phones for AI features will likely appreciate the gesture, considering the upcoming Live feature, which will allow you to interact with Gemini the same way you talk to your friend when you are texting or talking, will only be available to Gemini Advanced subscribers.
In case you are planning on buying the standard Pixel 9 model, the code snippets suggest that Pixel 9 will come with six months of free Gemini Advanced.
Google was the first mainstream manufacturer to focus on AI features, which were a major selling point for the Pixel 8. Whether the strategy will also work this year remains to be seen.
