Alleged Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 XL leak shows a redesigned camera bar

We’re lower than a month away from the next Made by Google event, and we might already know what one of many marquee bulletins will appear like. TikTok person pixo_unpacking (via YTechB) posted movies over the weekend of obvious pre-production samples of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 XL.

The telephones within the video have completely different backs: a shiny end on the usual Pixel 9’s rear and a matte one on the bigger Pixel XL’s. 9to5Google notes that they seem to incorporate rear-panel etchings Google makes use of for prototypes, though they’re principally lined within the clips by labels.

Primarily based on the video, the Pixel 9 seems to have two cameras, whereas the Pixel 9 XL has three. As well as, Google appears to have modified the digicam visor into an elongated oval. It seems to be fairly the protrusion, as evidenced by the video’s sections displaying the 2 telephones collectively.

Google sent out invites last month to the August 13 occasion. Though (unsurprisingly) devoid of particulars, it promised to “showcase one of the best of Google AI, Android software program and the Pixel portfolio of gadgets.” The occasion will likely be at Google’s Mountain View headquarters as an alternative of the everyday New York Metropolis setting for Pixel launches.

Along with the Pixel 9 sequence, we count on a next-generation Pixel Fold, a brand new Tensor chip and a third-generation Pixel Watch. (And a attainable Pixel Buds look.) In fact, since that is 2024 and no firm can maintain an occasion with out an nearly comical obsession with AI, we’re virtually assured to listen to extra about new Google AI options — just like the rumored Pixie AI assistant. As well as, the telephones might embrace iPhone-like emergency satellite messaging.
