- A Ukrainian TikTok account managed to get its hands on the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro models.
- The Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL are shown from all angles, in black colorways.
- Another video from the channel also places the Pixel 9 Pro XL right next to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, where the latter still appears larger.
Google’s Made by Google event is scheduled for August 13 in the US. The event is expected to showcase the new Pixel 9 series, which consists of the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and the all-new Pixel 9 Pro XL. Ahead of the release, new hands-on videos have already leaked on TikTok.
The PixoPhone account (via GSMArena) received the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL exactly a month before their launch in Ukraine and posted a hands-on video comparing them side by side. Additionally, the same channel placed the Pro XL model right next to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, one of the best Android phones currently available.

The hands-on video of both Pixel 9 Pro phones shows them from every angle, including the giant camera visors. The Pixel 9 Pro XL, the ultra-premium model of the bunch, appears glossy, while the Pixel 9 Pro has a matte finish.
The XL model’s camera lens hood also features a periscope lens and, presumably, the temperature sensor. The other two cameras appear to be identical to those on the Pixel 9 Pro. The rest of the button placements are identical on both phones. As seen in the renders, the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL feature a square design with squared edges overall and rounded corners.

As seen in the video, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, compared right next to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, shows just how wide Samsung’s flagship is compared to the upcoming Pixel phone.
Overall, the Pixel 9 Pro XL feels a bit small compared to the Ultra, and it goes without saying that the device also takes advantage of the S-Pen; therefore, the larger form factor is inevitable.
While Google had planned an early reveal this year, leakers also found a way to showcase the upcoming phones in their entirety relatively early.
Additionally, while we see the Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL in the latest leaked videos, a previous hands-on video (actually, two of them) showed the standard Pixel 9 device in an interesting pink colorway. The device also featured a glossy finish, and the camera module sported a matte finish.
The device also appears to be significantly smaller than the Pro model. The leaked Pixel 9 video also shows the device’s display and presumably Android 14/Android 15 running on it.
