Google Pixel 9 series live shots

Courtesy of Russian outlet Rozetked, a set of live hands-on images of the alleged Pixel 9 range was been published online. We immediately noticed the revamped exterior in all three models, sporting flat backs and frames alongside the redesigned elliptical camera island that replaces the edge-to-edge visor.

Diving deeper into the details, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro have sizes comparable to the Pixel 9 Pro XL. This aligns with previous unofficial renders that surfaced prior, showing the smaller Pixel 9 Pro model. Based on existing rumors, the vanilla Pixel 9 features a 6.2-inch display while the Pro and Pro XL get 6.3-inch and 6.7-inch display sizes, respectively.

Another difference we could point out is the camera modules in the trio. The Pixel 9 appears to debut with a 50 MP dual camera while the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL come with a triple camera setup, adding a 5x periscope zoom snapper and a thermometer.

In another shot, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro were placed side-by-side with the Pixel 8 (review) and Pixel 7. Apart from the stark design contrast, the two smaller Pixel 9 entries are shaping to be a mite taller and wider than the Pixel 8. However, it’s unclear how the handling of these devices will differ for each model if we were to factor in the thickness and weight.

Concerning the internal hardware, the Pixel 9 catalog is equipped with a Tensor G4 chipset, with the entry Pixel 9 coming sporting 8 GB RAM and the two Pro models 12 GB RAM. Unfortunately, all three have base variants will be fitted with 128 GB storage.

Google’s normal Pixel hardware cycle suggests the Pixel 9 will be announced in October. The 2nd gen Pixel Fold and 3rd gen Pixel Watch are also tipped to be debut alongside.
