GoPro Hero 9 is one of the most significant updates and it brings a lot of neat improvements. It’s bigger with a bigger body, bigger battery, and ultimately a bigger price tag.

So, what’s new with the GoPro Hero 9? Let’s take a look.

GoPro Hero 9 Overview

Build & Display

GoPro Hero 9 is noticeably bigger than the Hero 8. It’s wider, thicker, and taller. And with the Hero 9, you don’t need a separate case as it comes with a mount on the bottom.

Then the next new thing is a front-facing screen which helps in framing the shot. Then there’s a new 23.6MP sensor along with a lens cover and its protected by Gorilla Glass too.

This was available in the Hero 7 but was skipped on the Hero 8. So, now that it has a removable front lens it supports the Max lens mod which will be released later this year.
