Google Pixel 9 Leak Shows New Design; Standard Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro And Pixel 9 Pro XL Surface
This time, e-commerce retailer Rozetked has unveiled new images showcasing the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL side by side, a full five months ahead of Google's usual October release schedule.
Images surfaced last month offering a hands-on glimpse of the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro, and now, the same source has returned with additional leaks. These latest images not only feature the Pixel 9 Pro but also showcase the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL. As expected on any typical day, weeks before the actual launch, we are greeted with another Google Pixel hardware leak.

Pixel 9 Series May Retain Its Unique Design Language
However, it remains to be seen if the tech giant will continue to label this as a "camera bar" now that it doesn't stretch across the entire width of the phone, as seen in the leaked image. It represents a significant shift in the Pixel's visual identity, but the new design still stands out compared to Apple and Samsung's offerings every year.
As usual, the vanilla Pixel 9 is likely to feature a two-camera system, while the Pro model will include a third lens for telephoto and zoom capabilities, similar to the iPhone Pro and Pro Max models by Apple.
Considering we already have an idea of how the upcoming Pixel 9 line of devices may look like, it would not hurt for Google to showcase some different colour options.
To recall, the mid-range Google Pixel 8a was launched ahead of the annual Google I/O event. The phone boasts a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits, making it 40 per cent brighter than last year's Pixel 7a.
