Google Pixel 9 Series Leaked Renders and Key Details

As anticipation builds for Google’s hardware event on August 13, leaked renders of the upcoming Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL have surfaced, providing a sneak peek into the next generation of Pixel smartphones. The new lineup includes the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, marking an early unveiling compared to Google’s traditional launch timeline.

Detailed Look at Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL

The latest renders, shared by tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, showcase the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL in two distinct shades. The Pixel 9, previously spotted in a leaked live image in Pink, now appears in a much clearer render. The Pink color variant features a slightly different shade on the horizontal camera island compared to the rest of the back panel, offering a fresh alternative to the usual Black, Blue, and Green options.

On the other hand, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is depicted in Porcelain color, reminiscent of last year’s Pixel 8 Pro. Notable features include a periscope lens within the pill-shaped camera island and a temperature sensor positioned beneath the LED flash unit.

Design and Hardware Enhancements

One significant design shift from the previous Pixel 8 series to the upcoming Pixel 9 lineup is the adoption of a boxy design with a flat frame. The horizontal camera bridge has been slightly trimmed on the sides, adding to the refined aesthetic. In terms of hardware, the Pixel 9 series is rumored to be powered by the Tensor G4 chipset and support up to 16GB of RAM.

Pricing

Leaked pricing details suggest that the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro will start at EUR 899 and EUR 1,099, respectively, for the base 128GB models. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to start at EUR 1,199 for the same base variant, aligning with its siblings.

As we approach the August 13 event, these leaks provide a comprehensive glimpse into what Google’s latest flagship smartphones might offer. The new colors, design changes, and upgraded hardware set the stage for an exciting release.
