In October 2023, Google launched the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, and is now gearing up for the upcoming Pixel 9 lineup. As per the initial CAD-based renders, the Pixel 9 Pro is expected to feature a smaller screen, flat panels and sides, and a redesigned camera bump that no longer spans the entire width.
Leaked information suggests that the screen size will be reduced to 6.5 inches compared to the 6.7-inch OLED on its predecessor. Despite the smaller screen, the overall body size remains similar, resulting in slightly thicker bezels.
Google has traditionally utilized a wide camera island in the last three generations of Pixel flagships. The new design showcases the shooters arranged horizontally within an oval island. The device will maintain a base thickness of 8.5 mm, but the camera bump will increase by almost 50%, measuring 12 mm at its most prominent point.
While Google has been using an aluminum frame, there’s speculation that the company might shift to the trend of using a titanium alloy, similar to what Apple introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro series and Samsung adopted in the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
