Leaked Renders Reveal Google Pixel 9 Design; Potential Launch with Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL

In a potential departure from its traditional smartphone launch strategy, Google is rumored to unveil not two but three flagship models this year: the Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9. Earlier this year, CAD-based renders of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL surfaced online, providing a glimpse into their design. Now, renowned tipster Steve H. McFly, in collaboration with 91Mobiles, has leaked renders showcasing the design of the Pixel 9, offering further insights into Google’s upcoming smartphone lineup.

According to the newly leaked renders, the Pixel 9 sports a compact design characterized by a thick rear camera module and rounded corners. The device features a flat display and flat frames, exuding a sleek and modern aesthetic. Notably, the Pixel 9 is rumored to boast a 6.03-inch display, distinguishing it from its Pro counterparts in terms of size and form factor.

In contrast, the Pixel 9 Pro is expected to offer a slightly larger 6.1-inch display, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL could feature a more expansive 6.5-inch screen. Both Pro models are speculated to feature a centrally located hole punch cutout for the selfie shooter, contributing to a more immersive viewing experience. Additionally, the Pixel 9 is depicted with a dual rear camera setup, signaling a departure from the triple rear camera configuration expected on the Pro models.

While details regarding the Pixel 9’s specifications and features remain scarce, the leaked renders provide a tantalizing glimpse into what users can expect from Google’s upcoming flagship lineup. As anticipation builds ahead of the official unveiling, enthusiasts eagerly await further announcements from Google regarding the Pixel 9 series, poised to set new benchmarks in smartphone innovation and design.
