Following yesterday’s Pixel 9 Pro renders leak, images of the standard Pixel 9 have also surfaced online. Unlike last year’s Pixel 8 leaks, the Pixel 9 leaks have emerged approximately 10 months ahead of its expected launch. The upcoming Pixel 9 series appears intriguing, hinting at something noteworthy that will be discussed later in this article. Here are the initial Pixel 9 renders and the insights we can gather from them.
These leaked renders, provided by OnLeaks and 91Mobiles, reveal a noteworthy detail – a compact form factor. The Pixel 9 is expected to feature a 6.1-inch display, slightly smaller than the Pixel 8’s 6.2-inch screen.
Contrary to expectations, the Pixel 9’s dimensions, according to Steve, are 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5 mm. This makes it nearly 2 mm taller, 1 mm wider, and 0.4 mm slimmer compared to last year’s Pixel 8, which measured 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm. Despite the reduction in screen size, the overall form factor remains similar, if not slightly larger.
Another noticeable change is the design of the camera setup. Similar to the Pixel 9 Pro, the standard Pixel 9 will feature a new camera bar instead of a bump that extends to the edges of the phone. The camera bar resembles the one on the Pixel Fold but with more rounded corners, as opposed to the rounded rectangle camera bump on the Fold.
The display on both the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro is entirely flat, featuring minimal bezels, and the back panel edges no longer have a curvature towards the chassis. The design seems to draw inspiration from both Apple and Nothing. Both models incorporate hole punches on their displays.
In response to popular demand, it appears that the regular Pixel 9 will come equipped with a telephoto lens, featuring a triple camera setup. If confirmed, this would likely be the most significant upgrade for the standard Pixel since the Pixel 5.
Could This Be the Pixel 9 Pro?
Let’s delve into speculation, shall we? There are grounds to consider that what we’ve seen might be the Pixel 9 Pro rather than the standard Pixel. Firstly, introducing a telephoto lens to the standard Pixel 9 could potentially impact sales of the flagship Pixel. Secondly, earlier rumors hinted at the possibility of Google launching three different models within the Pixel 9 series. Therefore, it’s plausible that the leaked device might be the Pixel 9 Pro, while the one revealed earlier could be the “Pixel 9 Pro XL” or possibly the “9 Ultra.” Crucially, it should be emphasized that these speculations are not based on information provided by Steve to 91Mobiles.
If this speculation turns out to be accurate, it raises questions about the size of the standard Pixel 9. Could it potentially be 5.9 inches, positioning itself as a new compact contender? Share your thoughts on this possibility in the comments section below.
