Google Pixel 9 Phones

 Hands On Images of Google Pixel 9 Phones  

The smaller-sized Pro that many Pixel fans have been waiting for gets pictured alongside the regular Pixel 9 and the larger XL. It’s a day that ends in Y, so naturally, we’re dealing with yet another Google Pixel hardware leak. This time, the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL can be seen side by side in new images, five months before Google’s typical October release timeframe. The Google Pixel 9 Pro has appeared in hands-on images before, but now we have detailed live images of all three anticipated models, the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL, courtesy of the same tipster. These images confirm the design we have seen before in leaks.

Now the question arises,  how and why these units are out so early, And we know a lot of you are no doubt eyeing that regular 9 Pro, which will finally put Google’s very best camera chops into a normal-sized phone. Meanwhile, the 9 Pro XL looks a fair bit taller than Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max. It’s important to note that the name Pixel 9 Pro XL has not been officially confirmed. However, Google is expected to introduce three high-end devices this year, which are currently being referred to as the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. 

Whether Google will still call this a “camera bar” now that it no longer spans the full width of the phone. It marks a pretty big change to the Pixel’s visual identity, but the new style still looks fairly unique compared to what Apple and Samsung are doing. As usual, the standard Pixel 9 will have a two-camera system, while the Pro will have a third lens for telephoto / zoom purposes. The latest leaked images reveal a significant design update for the Pixel 9 series, moving away from the seamless ‘visor’ style on the back to a more distinct camera island, coupled with a completely flat frame.

The upcoming Pixel 9 is set to replace the Pixel 8, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL will take over from the Pixel 8 Pro. The Pixel 9 Pro, meanwhile, is anticipated to share many features with the Pro XL model but will be housed in a smaller body, akin to the Pixel 9. Now it's possible that as these devices are already out, meaning that the company plans to shift their release to an earlier date. You can say that it's a wild guess.

In terms of design, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro have the same physical dimensions, though the Pixel 9 appears larger due to its more substantial bezels. Both the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 XL boast a triple-camera setup on the rear, each with 50MP sensors. The standard Pixel 9 is outfitted with a main camera and an ultra wide lens, while the Pro and XL versions also include a periscope telephoto lens, enabling up to 5x optical zoom.

The showcased prototype of the Pixel 9 comes equipped with 12 GB of RAM, while the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 XL models feature 16 GB each. All three prototypes share the same storage capacity of 128 GB, though these specifications could vary in the final production models. The screen sizes, however, are likely to remain the same: 6.24 inches for the Pixel 9, 6.34 inches for the Pixel 9 Pro, and 6.73 inches for the Pixel 9 XL. Each of the three devices in the line up is equipped with Google’s Tensor G4 SoC. The Pro models feature support for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) connectivity, which is absent in the standard version.
