Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsTabletGoogle Pixel 9’s Images Show Off a Triple Camera and Thermometer
Leaks about Google’s upcoming flagship smartphones continue to spill over. Following the Pixel 9 Pro renders surfacing yesterday, it’s now the turn of the smaller Pixel 9 with its fresh computer-generated images confirming an added zoom camera, temperature sensor, and a new design similar to the Pro model.
Google Pixel 9 adds a telephoto camera and temperature sensor
Notable leaker OnLeaks has collaborated with outlet 91Mobiles for coming up with the third-party renders of the Pixel 9. The outright and most significant changes to the device’s design show an overhauled rear panel, which has the cameras sitting on an elliptical island and ditches the extended camera visor.
And according to the publication, the Pixel 9’s cameras will add a periscope camera in addition to the main and ultrawide. Details about the new snapper are scarce, but if the tide is on our side, it should carry a 5x zoom as this year’s Pixel 8 Pro (review). Although it’s possible that Google will enlist a muted telephoto snapper and reserve the more capable camera to the Pixel 9 Pro.
Interestingly, the images do depict the Google Pixel 9 boasts a new sensor below the LED flash. This is presumed as a thermometer similar to what’s debuted on the Pixel 8 Pro, which measures the temperature of objects or fluid based on the radiation level these materials or compound emit from their surface.
Google Pixel 9’s flatter frame
As with the other design sections, the Pixel 9 sports a flat frame, while the front appears to be leveled as well. If this design materializes, it will put Google in the ranks of Samsung that has started adopting flat frames on their devices, such as with the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ (review).
Furthermore, the dimensions of the device are listed at 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5 mm or slightly taller and wider than the predecessor but a few hairlines thinner. The difference could be resulted from a different display aspect ratio. It is said the display is measured at 6.1-inch wide, which is a midge smaller than the Pixel 8’s 6.2-inch display.
Google is expected to launch the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro in October of this year, so, there are chances that these renders would differ from the final designs.
What do you think of the Pixel 9’s design? Do you prefer the flat frame and squared-off corners over the Pixel 8’s rounded form? We look forward to hearing your opinion in the comments.
