LTPO screens for the (Pixel 9 series) Pixel 9 Pro or even the Pixel 9 Pro XL might not be available in Singapore, Malaysia, or India. Where Super Actua Displays are used on devices marketed all over the world, Actua Displays are used in their stead in some places.
Recognized: Actua and Super Actua technology relates to the brightness of the display rather than the refresh rate; yet, it represents the use of separate panels. This is strange because the massive Pixel 8 Pro, which was released before the 9 Pro XL, already had an LTPO panel.
Is it the appropriate deal for this market as it will be lacking an LTPO display panel and many other important upgrades? To get more details on this, we have covered the complete article on this topic. Let’s get directly on point.
Should you buy the Pixel 9 series in India?
Let’s look at how the Google Pixel 9 series looks alike before delving into the differences. There are noticeable physical nips and tucks to all three models, especially to the recognizable camera bar. The Pixel 8’s retro-futuristic array is no longer there, and its camera pill form has improved. All three models have the new camera bulge sticking out quite a little, however the 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL have a second camera.
Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front and back are widely used in all three versions; nevertheless, the Pixel 9 has a polished rear and a “satin” finish on its edges, while the Pro duo has a matte rear finish with polished edges. In any case, IP68 water and dust protection is included with all three variants.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold—what about it? Everywhere there is a conventional Actua cover display and an LTPO inside display. However, the state of Wi-Fi is unclear. It states that the Indian model supports “Wi-Fi 7 (802.11ax)”. That’s a typo: 802.11be is Wi-Fi 7 and ax is Wi-Fi 6. This error can be found in the specifications provided by the online retailer as well as on the Google support page. Is the “ax” or the “7” a typo, though? We assume that the Fold lacks Wi-Fi 7 because its brothers do not either.
It should be noted that the 6GHz spectrum has still not been approved for usage by India’s telecom agency. But whether or not the phones ever use the 6GHz range, Wi-Fi 7 contains enhancements that work in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands as well, so there’s no need to stop supporting it.
