Leaked hands-on videos and images purportedly showcase a functional Google Pixel 9 unit in a new vibrant "Peony" pink color variant.
The phone features symmetrical bezels, a squared-off camera bar or visor with an oval-shaped dual-sensor module, flatter edges, rounded corners, and a glossy back with a matte camera bar and sides resembling recent iPhones.
The device is expected to have 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, hinting at improved multitasking capabilities, and the presence of the Google logo suggests it's likely the finished product, not a prototype.
The Google Pixel 9 series, expected to launch on August 13th, 2024, is rumored to feature vibrant color options that have received positive feedback: Jade, Obsidian, and Porcelain.
The bold color move deviates from Google's usual color choices.
The series is rumored to feature Android 15, the Tensor G4 SoC, varying AMOLED display sizes with a 120Hz refresh rate, and potentially Samsung's M14 OLED display with high refresh rates, excellent color accuracy, and potentially outshining the display quality of the Samsung Galaxy S24. Pro models may offer a triple-camera setup with a new vertical pill-shaped camera bar design and a matte back.
Numerous leaks and alleged hands-on videos from Algeria have surfaced online, showcasing the design, features, and specifications of the Pixel 9 series months before its expected launch.
Google will unveil the Pixel 9 series, Pixel Watch 3, and showcase Google AI, Android software, and Pixel devices at the Made by Google event scheduled for August 13, 2024, at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. The event is earlier this year, possibly to get ahead of Apple's September event.
