This includes the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the Pixel Watch 3, and the Pixel Buds Pro 2.

Among these devices, the Pixel 9 and specifically the Pixel 9 Pro XL are available for pre-order on Flipkart and retail partners starting today and will be on shelves starting August 22. The other devices will become available later this year.
