The Google Pixel 9 series continues to be the talk of the tech world. With the launch date set for August 13th, new leaks have revealed the designs of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL. A recent hands-on video showcases these upcoming models, giving us a sneak peek into their features and specifications.
Design Details of Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL
The leaked video, showing pre-release hardware, reveals the final design of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL. Despite the prototype etching on the rear panels, the presence of the Google ‘G’ logo suggests this is close to the final version.
Size and Display
The Pixel 9 will have a 6.24-inch display, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to sport a larger 6.73-inch screen. This size difference is evident in the video, providing a clear comparison between the two models.
Rear and Side Finish
The Pixel 9 features a glossy rear panel, which could be more prone to fingerprints. In contrast, the Pixel 9 Pro XL has a matte finish, reducing fingerprint marks. Interestingly, the side frames have opposite finishes; the Pixel 9 Pro XL has a shiny frame, whereas the Pixel 9 comes with a matte one.
Chassis and Edges
Both phones feature a boxy chassis, aligning with the design trend of many current flagship smartphones. They have flat edges, narrow bezels, and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera, enhancing the sleek look of these devices.
Button Placement and Camera Module
The volume rocker and power buttons are situated on the right edge of both phones. The back panels house an oval-shaped camera module. Unlike previous models, this module does not stretch to the edges. However, it protrudes more significantly than before. The Pixel 9 Pro XL will likely have a triple-camera setup, while the standard Pixel 9 will have dual sensors.
Comparisons with Other Flagships
The video also compares these new Google phones with other flagship models. The Pixel 9 series is shown alongside the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which has a 6.8-inch screen, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. These comparisons help highlight the size and design differences.
Expected Launch and Features
The Google Pixel 9 series is set to debut on August 13th. Besides the design, leaks have revealed several features, including the camera specs via Camera FV5 and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Additionally, the phones were spotted on the FCC website, hinting at their imminent release.
