The latest leaks, courtesy of 91Mobiles and tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (OnLeaks), have just unveiled the juiciest details yet about the upcoming Google Pixel 9 series. Set on August 13, this series promises to be a game-changer with its sleek design, powerful specs, and cutting-edge AI features.
The Pixel 9 series is stepping out in style with a fresh palette of colors including dark grey, light grey, off-white (rumored to be called Porcelain White), and pink. These shades are complemented by polished or glossy sides and a soft matte back panel.
One of the standout features is the new camera island. On the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the camera island is a rounded rectangle, while the regular Pixel 9 sports an oblong shape. This island houses multiple lenses –three on the Pro models and two on the regular Pixel — protruding slightly from the back panel. On the front, a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera and minimal bezels complete the sleek look.
Now, let’s talk specs. The Pixel 9 is expected to come with a 6.3-inch Actua display, while the Pixel 9 Pro matches this with the same size display. The big sibling, Pixel 9 Pro XL, will boast a 6.8-inch Super Actua display. Meanwhile, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a 6.3-inch Actua front cover screen and an impressive 8-inch Super Actua Flex inner display, promising an immersive viewing experience.
On the camera front, the Pixel 9 is equipped with a 50MP wide and a 48MP ultrawide camera. The Pixel 9 Pro and XL models kick it up a notch with a 50MP main camera, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP telephoto sensor. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold comes with a 48MP main camera, a 10.5MP ultrawide snapper, and a 10.8MP telephoto sensor. The Pixel 9 has a 10.5MP front camera, while the Pro and XL models flaunt a 42MP selfie shooter. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold packs a 10MP front camera.
All these models are powered by the robust Tensor G4 chipset. The Pixel 9 comes with up to 12GB of RAM, while the Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold models boast up to 16GB of RAM, ready to handle any task you throw at them.
Gemini AI and smart features
Google’s new Pixel series isn’t just about looks and power — it’s smart too (surprise!). Engineered with advanced AI, these phones promise to make your life easier in numerous ways. The Pixel 9 series will offer seven years of security updates and Pixel Drops, which are software updates that bring exclusive new features to your device.
Safety is a priority with the new Emergency SOS feature, alerting you to nearby crises like fires or floods and protecting you from malware and phishing scams. Need to remember something? Pixel Screenshots can help you save info about events, places, and more, so you can find it later when you need it.
The promo material also teases the various ways Gemini AI and Circle to Search can assist you, from organizing your life to finding exactly what you’re looking for with ease. And for the tech-savvy, the Pixel 9 Pro XL (and likely other models) will come with a 1-meter USB-C to USB-C cable (USB 2.0) in the box.
As we count down to the official launch, the excitement is building. The Google Pixel 9 series is shaping up to be a serious contender in the smartphone market, blending sleek design, powerful performance, and smart features.
