Google Pixel 9 Design Leaked. Here's Your First Look At One Of The Three Models Launching This Fall

Currently, rumours suggest that Google will adopt a strategy reminiscent of the iPhone, dividing the Pro tier into two distinct sizes.

Google is mulling to overhaul its smartphone approach in 2024 by launching three distinct models in the upcoming Pixel 9 line. As per 91mobiles, earlier renders (crafted by ltipster OnLeaks) actually depicted the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro “XL” rather than the standard Pixel 9. Now, a new report gives an idea via fresh leaked images of the regular Pixel 9 for the first time.

Google employed the XL designation for its larger Pixel models until 2019. However, it abandoned this tradition with the single-size Pixel 5 and continued without it when transitioning to the "Pro" nomenclature in 2021. Currently, rumours suggest that Google will adopt a strategy reminiscent of the iPhone, dividing the Pro tier into two distinct sizes. In this scenario, resurrecting the XL label makes a lot of sense.

Google Pixel 9 Lineup May Come In 3 Sizes

According to the leaked renders, each of the three Pixe 9 models will feature distinct screen sizes:

- Pixel 9 Pro XL: 6.5-inch display
- Pixel 9 Pro: 6.1-inch display
- Pixel 9: 6.03-inch display

The 91mobiles report further notes that a total of four 5K renders and a 360-degree video showcase the vanilla Pixel 9, offering a comprehensive view of Google's upcoming flagship.

The design closely resembles that of the Pixel 9 Pro, featuring a compact body and a prominent rear camera module. However, unlike the Pro model's triple-camera setup, the Pixel 9 opts for a dual-camera configuration. Fans can expect rounded corners and a flat display with a centered punch-hole selfie camera.

The power button and volume keys on the Pixel 9 are positioned along the right side of the flat frame. With a 6.03-inch display, the Pixel 9 is slightly smaller than the Pixel 9 Pro's 6.1-inch screen. According to famed leakster OnLeaks, the Pixel 9 measures approximately 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm, extending to 12mm with the rear camera bump.

Furthermore, the Pixel 9 showcased in the leak comes in Black colour, akin to the Pixel 9 Pro XL. It's likely that Google introduces the Pixel 9 in additional colour variants. The design shift with the Pixel 9 series seems to align with design aesthetics reminiscent of the Apple iPhone 15 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
