Leaks and rumors about the upcoming Pixel 9 series have been increasing, and this latest set of leaked images has only increased the hype.
New news has brought some leaked live images of the upcoming Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. This also enhances the new Bender-style camera hole and overall overall aesthetic.
We're still several months away from the actual launch of these devices, but the plethora of leaks we've received leaves little to the imagination. So far we've heard that the company is bringing a completely different aesthetic to the Pixel range, with flatter edges, rounded corners and a large, capsule-shaped camera socket. The camera bump is the most noticeable part of the new design.
In addition to the new design, we also received news that Google will be bringing back the Pixel XL model this year. The last time we saw an XL model was the Pixel 4 XL. So, with this news, we have three different Pixel 9 models to look at: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Although these images look very realistic, you should handle them with caution. Many will call the updated look an iPhone-like design with flat edges and a boxy design. The corners are slightly rounder than those on the Pixel 8 series, and noticeably rounder than those on the Pixel 7 series.
The standout feature is the new camera hump, which will remind many people of Bender from Futurama. As we prepare for the obligatory phone and memes, we'll all wonder if camera humping will ever be as important as it seems.
Three models
The first image below shows the three phones. Two of them are said to be the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro (the Pixel 9 has a glossy back, while the Pro has a matte back), and the other is similar to the Pixel 9 Pro XL. This phone is much larger than the other two phones.
Then the third picture shows the two smaller models from the front. The Pro will have a slightly smaller frame than the base model, but the difference is negligible.
The fourth image shows the two smaller models compared to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 7. This clearly shows how different the design is from previous devices. We can see that the overall aesthetic is different, but the Pixel 9 devices still retain Google's design philosophy.
Compared with iPhone 15
The following screenshot shows a comparison between the Pixel 9 and the current iPhone. We can see that both flat edges look exactly the same. However, the edges of the Pixel 9 are a bit rounded, the body of the phone is a bit thinner, but the camera bump sticks out a bit more.
The following image shows the display of one model compared to one of the iPhone 15 models. However, we don't know which one.
The last two images show the Pixel 9 Pro versus the iPhone 15 Pro, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL versus the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
