Google is rumored to unveil at least three new smartphones in October during its annual hardware event: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. Additionally, the Pixel Fold 2, now reportedly renamed the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, might also be introduced at this event.
Recently, hands-on live images of the Google Pixel 9 Pro surfaced, including a comparison shot next to an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to be the size successor to the Pixel 8 Pro, while the Pixel 9 Pro will have similar dimensions to the standard Pixel 9 but with enhanced features such as a periscope telephoto rear camera, which is evident in the leaked images. Consequently, the Pixel 9 Pro’s size will be comparable to the iPhone 15 Pro.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro will be powered by the Tensor G4 chipset and will include 16GB of RAM from Micron, which is 4GB more than the Pixel 8 Pro. The device will also feature UFS storage manufactured by Samsung. The Pixel 9 series is expected to incorporate Samsung’s Exynos Modem 5400, offering satellite connectivity support.
A notable design change in the Pixel 9 Pro is its camera bump, which has transitioned from the ‘visor’ style to an oval shape that doesn’t extend to the edges. The area around the LED flash has a larger metal section, and the phone sports a flat polished frame. This redesigned camera module and the other enhancements make the Pixel 9 Pro a significant upgrade in Google’s smartphone lineup.
