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 therapy. Girls and gents, meet the Google Pixel 9.
Proper off the bat, one factor clearly stands out. Not like the Pixel 8, the Pixel 9 has three cameras on the rear, one in every of which clearly has a periscope zoom lens. This can be a big replace for the ‘vanilla’ Pixel line, and one which brings it rather more in tune with the Professional, spec-wise.
Transferring 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 entire island is oval-shaped (within the Pixel 8 solely the bit really housing the cameras was oval), and it nonetheless takes up nearly your entire width of the cellphone. It simply would not finish within the body, it now ends close to it. It additionally appears to be constituted of steel as earlier than. Whereas it isn’t an identical to what we have seen in earlier Pixels, this clearly nonetheless makes the cellphone recognizable as a Pixel.
Over on the entrance, you possibly can see the body resulting from its flatness. The display screen bezels appear to be completely symmetrical which could be very welcome, and within the prime center part of the display screen there is a single hole-punch cutout for the selfie digicam.
In accordance with 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 might need a barely totally different side ratio.
No different particulars in regards to the Pixel 9 are recognized but, however that is not an enormous drawback contemplating it is solely anticipated to turn out to be 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 recognize after we discover out extra.
