A few hours before Google I/O, a few images purported to represent the upcoming Pixel 9 series have been leaked.

The set of images was published by Rozetked (Russian), supposedly representing a series of live photos for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 XL (Android Police). The specifications regarding the devices suggest that the base model will sport a 6.2-inch screen, the Pro could have a 6.3-inch screen and the 9 XL could see a 6.7-inch screen.

The publication, which cites an anonymous source, states that the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are “the same size.” However, the devices differ in their bezels, as the base model is supposed to sport thicker ones than the Pro edition.

The leak continues to indicate that displays across the 9 series can achieve a refresh rate of 120Hz.

The purported live photos give us a much clearer look at the Pixel 9 series’ rear panel. The series is rumored to have a design change in which the camera visor no longer extends the panel’s reach horizontally. These speculated live photos double down on those past rumors, making the phones look more like the Pixel Fold.

The base model’s camera specs are light, as the post says it will offer 0.5x and 1x zoom. The Pro and XL models are said to feature triple 50MP cameras with 0.5x, 1x, and 5x zoom capabilities. Additionally, both high-end models could debut with UWB support.

Internally, the Pixel 9 could arrive with a 12/128 GB RAM/storage configuration. The Pro and XL could both offer 16/128 GB configurations. The entire series is also expected to rock the new Tensor G4. The leak adds that the base Pixel 9 could feature a glossy back panel with “matte bezels.” This would differ from the Pixel 9 Pro, which will offer a matte back with “glossy bezels”.

The latest wave of live photos joins a previous April preview of the Pixel 9 Pro. The device was previously rumored to sport a 6.1-inch display, although that’s apparently not the case now, as speculation has a 6.3-inch display floating on the table.

More importantly, after some confusion, the idea of ​​a potential Pixel 9 XL was theorized back in March. The device would take the lead as the largest in the upcoming series with a 6.7-inch display instead of the previously announced 6.5-inch display.

Google is preparing to hold its I/O 2024 event tomorrow, May 14, at 10 a.m. PT. The event should have a few surprises in store for us and maybe even a good look at the Pixel 9 series which is on its way to its fall debut.
