New Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL videos surface on TikTok

The Google Pixel 9 has just been leaked again, and it’s not just rumors this time. New videos surfaced on TikTok, showcasing what seems to be the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL models.

These leaked videos confirm previous rumors, revealing a redesigned camera housing, moving away from the Pixel 8’s visor to a protruding oval shape. A noticeable size difference exists between the base Pixel 9 and the significantly larger 9 Pro XL, which rivals the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in size. The video also suggests the Pixel 9 Pro XL might sport a three-camera setup, unlike the Pixel 9’s dual-camera system.

An interesting visual change is the swap in materials between the models: the Pixel 9 Pro XL features glossy sides and a matte back, while the Pixel 9 has the opposite. Alongside the design changes, rumors hint at a “Google AI” feature that enables saving and searching screenshots, potentially a handy addition for users.

Other whispered improvements include a faster, more reliable ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, replacing the previous under-display version. This could solve some of the unlocking issues users have experienced. Additionally, a fresh pink color option might join the lineup.

Google plans to unveil its new Pixel devices during a hardware event on August 13, sooner than expected. Considering Google’s history, we can anticipate more leaks as the event approaches. Stay tuned for further updates as we inch closer to the official reveal.
