Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro leaks
GoogleThe vanilla Pixel 9 will be the successor to the existing Pixel 8 but with a new look for the camera bar, which no longer extends edge to edge. According to a leak, Google will implement this new design throughout the Pixel 9 lineup. The Pixel 9 is rumored to have two rear cameras: a main camera and an ultra-wide camera.
The Pixel 9 and 9 Pro are said to be identical in size, but the entry-level model, with a 6.24-inch display, has larger bezels than the 6.34-inch Pro. However, both models are expected to have a 120Hz refresh rate. The Pro model will also feature three cameras, each with a 50MP sensor and offering 0.5x, 1x, and 5x zoom.
Both phones will be powered by the Tensor G4, but the Pro model will also support Ultra Wide Band connectivity.
Pixel 9 Pro XL leaks
The Pixel 9 Pro XL could replace the Pixel 8 Pro as the ultimate flagship. Android Authority first reported these rumors regarding a possible three-phone Pixel 9 family.
A 91Mobiles Report further corroborated this, claiming that the Pixel 9 Pro renders shared in January 2024 were actually those of the Pixel 9 Pro XL. You’ll find the same camera bar redesign as the rest of the models, the same triple-lens cutouts, and even an identical thickness compared to the Pixel 9 Pro and the standard Pixel 9.
It will feature three cameras like the Pro model, each with 50MP sensors, and will also support Ultra Wide Band connectivity. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to be powered by the Tensor G4 chip.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold leaks
Google wants to diversify the Pixel 9 lineup, giving users the option to choose phones with different form factors. However, it can also make things confusing for users. The Pixel Fold, which debuted in 2023, should technically be called Pixel Fold 2, right? Wrong, Google will instead call it Pixel 9 Pro Fold, according to Android Authority.
Leaks suggest that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will bring a new design. The biggest difference is the camera bump, which is now isolated to the upper left corner. The smartphone could feature four lenses, likely including a primary wide-angle lens, an ultra-wide lens, a telephoto lens with periscope zoom, and another unidentified lens.
Another major change concerns the aspect ratio of the cover screen. Although the exact dimensions are not yet clear, leaked image shows that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a narrower cover screen. It could also be equipped with the new Tensor G4 chipset, ignoring the Tensor G3.
Pixel Watch 3 leaks
GoogleDetails on the Pixel Watch 3 are limited, but renders are being shared by Android titles reveal its design. The smartwatch will continue to feature a circular, dome-shaped design and will come in two sizes: 41mm and 45mm. This could be good news for those who find the Pixel Watch 2 too small for their wrist.
