Based on these leaked images, we can see that the design of the
Pixel 9 features a unique flat camera bar that extends across the back of the phone. This design element will be consistent across the entire
Pixel 9 lineup, including the
Pixel 9 Pro,
Pixel 9 Pro XL, and to a lesser extent, the
Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The phone will also have flat sides, giving it a distinct look that sets it apart from other smartphones on the market.

We can also see that the
Pixel 9 will have matte sides and a glossy back, which was a design choice used in last year's
Pixel 8. This is a bit surprising given that the more affordable
Pixel 8a has a matte back, but the
colors of the Pixel 9 (except for Obsidian) should help minimize fingerprints.

The
Pixel 9 series, including the standard
Pixel 9, will be powered by Google's Tensor G4 chip. This chip promises improved performance and a significantly enhanced modem, addressing connectivity issues that plagued previous Pixel models.

In terms of RAM, the
Pixel 9 Pro and
Pixel 9 Pro Fold will lead the pack with an impressive 16GB of RAM. The standard
Pixel 9 will have 12GB of RAM, a significant upgrade from the
Pixel 8's 8GB. This increased RAM will enable smoother multitasking and handle more demanding tasks. Not to mention on-device AI.
The
Pixel 9's camera system will be a key highlight, featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 10.5-megapixel front-facing camera for high-quality selfies.
It's been rumored that the phone will sport a 6.3-inch "Actua Display," a term Google uses to describe its brighter screens. It's also expected that this display will reach around 2,000 nits of peak brightness, ensuring excellent visibility even in bright sunlight.
Google has not officially confirmed any of these details, so it's important to remember that this information is based on leaks and rumors. We'll have to wait for Google's official announcement to get the full picture of the Pixel 9 series. However, the leaked information suggests that Google is preparing a strong contender in the smartphone arena.
