The Google Pixel 9 just leaked again
We might not have to wait until August to get a full-on look at the Google Pixel 9 lineup. A new set of videos posted to the TikTok account pixo_unpacking shows what appears to be the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL, as spotted earlier by GSMArena.
The videos track with the leaks we’ve seen so far, with the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL swapping out the Pixel 8’s camera visor for an oval-shaped housing that protrudes from the back of the device. As shown in the video embedded below, the Pixel 9 Pro XL looks much larger than the base Pixel 9 and nearly as large as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Pixel 9 Pro XL also seems to come with a three-camera setup when compared to the Pixel 9’s two cameras.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL appears to feature glossy sides and a matte black backing, while the Pixel 9 sports the reverse. In addition to some visual changes, the Pixel 9 lineup is expected to come with “Google AI” that lets you save and search through screenshots.
Rumors also suggest that Google will replace the Pixel’s under-display fingerprint sensor with a faster and more accurate ultrasonic one, potentially fixing some of the problems people have encountered when trying to unlock their phone. There may even be a new pink color option.
Google is expected to reveal its new Pixel lineup during an earlier-than-usual hardware event on August 13th. Given Google’s track record, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more leaks in the weeks leading up to the event.
