Google Pixel 9 series is all set to launch in India on August 14th, a day following its global release. According to Flipkart, the available models in India will be the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Although Google plans to unveil four models worldwide, India may only receive these two variants.

The Flipkart microsite dedicated to the Google Pixel 9 series highlights the upcoming phones, but the teaser image only displays the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.  There's a possibility that the Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro won't be available for purchase in India. While this is not an official confirmation, Flipkart serves as Google's official online retailer, making the speculation plausible.
