Next week, Google is expected to announce the Pixel 9 series live from Mountain View, California. However, before that announcement, we can provide you with some details about what buyers will get for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. According to some material we have seen, we can confirm that Pixel 9 Pro Fold buyers will get one year of the Google One AI Premium plan, as we’ve seen leaked quite a bit already. They will also get six months of Fitbit Premium and three months of YouTube Premium.
These freebies are available to those who purchase the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold before October 31, 2025. And before December 31, 2025 for the Fitbit Premium and YouTube Premium freebies. That means that for basically the entire life cycle of the Pixel 9 series, you’ll get these freebies included.
We can also confirm last week’s report on promos for the Pixel 9, at least in Europe. These include a storage upgrade and a trade-in bonus of £200, for a total offer value of €563.
Google wants its customers to take full advantage of Gemini on Pixel 9
As expected, Google wants every Pixel 9 customer to be able to take full advantage of Gemini on its new devices. This is why it is offering a year of the Google One AI Premium plan for free with every purchase. This includes Gemini Advanced, as well as 2TB of Google One storage, which can be used for storage of Gmail, photos, videos, documents, and much more. This is a $19.99 per month value, making it a pretty slick freebie for the new Pixel 9 models.
Speaking of Gemini, it’s going to be powering a good number of features on the Pixel 9 series, including Pixel Screenshots. This is essentially a way to better organize your screenshots, and talk to Gemini in a conversational way to find different things. Like a WiFi password for your AirBnB or someone’s phone number that you took a screenshot of. And we can’t wait to see what else Google has up their sleeves on August 13.
