Mere hours in the past some CAD-based renders of the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Professional had been outed, and now it is time for its smaller and extra inexpensive sibling to get the very same remedy. Girls and gents, meet the Google Pixel 9.
Proper off the bat, one factor clearly stands out. In contrast to the Pixel 8, the Pixel 9 has three cameras on the rear, certainly one of which clearly has a periscope zoom lens. It is a large replace for the ‘vanilla’ Pixel line, and one which brings it way more in tune with the Professional, spec-wise.
Shifting on, the opposite apparent factor is that Google has additionally been infested by the ‘flat sides’ illness began by Apple some time in the past. Gone is the curved body of the Pixel 8, in is the iPhone-like flatness. We do not particularly thoughts if a body is flat or not, however we do really feel the necessity to level out that each firm doing the identical factor is simply… boring and repetitive?
Anyway, the digicam island is totally different too. It is now not spilling into the body. Now your complete island is oval-shaped (within the Pixel 8 solely the bit truly housing the cameras was oval), and it nonetheless takes up nearly your complete width of the telephone. It simply does not finish within the body, it now ends close to it. It additionally appears to be made out of metallic as earlier than. Whereas it isn’t an identical to what we have seen in earlier Pixels, this clearly nonetheless makes the telephone recognizable as a Pixel.
Over on the entrance, you’ll be able to see the body as a consequence of its flatness. The display screen bezels appear to be completely symmetrical which may be very welcome, and within the prime center part of the display screen there is a single hole-punch cutout for the selfie digicam.
Based on the supply of those renders, the Pixel 9 will measure 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5 mm (whereas the digicam bump will take the thickness to 12 mm). That makes it marginally taller, wider, and slimmer than its predecessor. It is anticipated to sport a 6.1-inch display screen, which is smaller than the Pixel 8’s however may need a barely totally different side ratio.
No different particulars concerning the Pixel 9 are identified but, however that is not an enormous downside contemplating it is solely anticipated to turn into official in about eight months. Absolutely by then we’ll have been drowning in leaks for some time, because it all the time occurs with Pixels. Keep tuned and we’ll let you realize after we discover out extra.
