Google’s Pixel 9 series is expected to be unveiled on August 13th, but a series of leaks mean much of the highly anticipated information about the new smartphone is already publicly available.
The latest leaks, which come a little over a fortnight before the official unveiling, reveal information about the colors, sizes, camera quality and more of the new Pixel phones.
How Was This Information Leaked?
The new Pixel leaks come from well-known leakers Android Headlines and On Leaks.
Among the information they’ve leaked is that the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL will have large cameras protected by a curved silicon case.
What Color Phones Will Be Offered?
According to the leak, Google Pixel 9 Pro colors offered will be Charcoal, Porcelain, Hazel, Aloe and Rose.
For the Pixel 9 Pro XL, there will just be Charcoal, Porcelain, Hazel, and Rose – with no Aloe option.
What To Know About The New Pixel 9 Camera
The new leaks claim that the standard Pixel 9 being offered has a 50MP wide camera and a 48MP ultrawide snapper.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 9 Pro and XL have the same, as well as a 48MP telephoto sensor.
Three Lenses For Some Models
Reportedly, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has three lenses, but with lower resolution – with a 48MP main camera, a 10.5MP ultrawide lens, and a 10.8MP telephoto option.
Meanwhile, the 9 Pro and XL models have a 42MP lens above their displays, and the 9 Pro Fold “will have a 10MP selfie shooter.”
More Details Revealed About Phone Cases
These new leaks suggest that the phone cases for the Pixel 9 will be similar to those from previous models – with smooth, rubbery exteriors and a fabric finish on the inside.
Alongside the four phones in the Pixel 9 series, Google are also expected to unveil Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 and the Pixel Watch 3 in August.
New Hardware
The standard Pixel 9 is expected to have 12GB of RAM, while the other new models will have up to 16GB ram.
Although the recent leaks have not revealed information about phone resolutions, it’s expected there will be slight upgrades from the Pixel 8 series.
Bigger Displays Expected
Google is sticking with Actua displays, but they will be bigger this time – with the standard and Pixel 9 Pro phones enjoying a 6.3-inch display.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 9 Pro XL will have a 6.8-inch display and the foldable phone will have a huge 8-inch display.
More New Features
The new Pixel phones will have an emergency SOS feature designed to protect from malware and phishing attempts, and to inform you of nearby natural disasters, fires and more.
The new Pixels are also expected to include ‘Pixel Screenshots’, which will allow people to save more information from pictures.
How Social Media Reacted To New Details
Some customers seemed excited about the new Pixel phones, with one X/Twitter user celebrating the fact that “there are two sizes to choose from”, while another said the phones had been “beautifully redesigned”.
However, not all users liked the new design – with one X/Twitter user saying it looked “awful” and was inferior to the designs of the Pixel 8 and 6. Meanwhile, one Reddit user said they saw no reason to update to the 9.
