The Google Pixel 9 series was announced at the company’s annual Made by Google event earlier this week. The vanilla Pixel 9 features an Actua OLED display, while the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL models have an LTPO Super Actua display. However, a recent list of smartphones on the Pixel support site shows that the display quality and connectivity features of the Pixel 9 models vary depending on the market. The Indian versions of Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL are listed with non-LTPO displays.
As seen on GSMArena’s Pixel support page, the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL for India, Malaysia and Singapore have different displays compared to other models in other parts of the world. The Pixel 9 Pro smartphones in these regions will have an Actua display instead of an ultra-realistic display (LTPO). Particle for direct object
However, at the time of writing, Google has revised the display variant of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL to the Super Actua display for the India, Malaysia and Singapore markets.
Additionally, there are differences in Wi-Fi performance between Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL depending on region. According to a screenshot of the listing shared by the publication, the Pixel 9 Pro devices sold in India do not support Wi-Fi 7. However, this is because Indian regulators do not allow Wi-Fi 7. The phone is likely to feature hardware and full Wi-Fi 7 support should be available via a software update once Indian regulators give the green light. Particle for direct object
