Google Pixel 9 leaks in new renders
The Pixel 9 appeared in a new set of CAD-based renders suggesting that Google is going for a new approach to its phone launch schedule. We previously saw two sets of renders back in January which are now said to have been the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
The new images show the same basic design as the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL with a flat metal frame and revised camera island which now adopts an oval shape without warping into the frame like the visors on the previous two generations of Pixels.
The source claims Pixel 9 will offer a 6.03-inch display (presumably 120Hz OLED) compared to the 6.1-inch Pixel 9 Pro and 6.5-inch Pixel 9 Pro XL. The vanilla Pixel 9’s listed dimensions are 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm. The other key difference on the vanilla Pixel 9 is the dual camera setup compared to the three shooters on both the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.

It seems that Google may take a new approach with the Pixel 9 series by launching three device models at once. It remains to be seen how Google will price its upcoming devices and if the vanilla Pixel 9 will put an end to the Pixel A-series phones. We should have a clear picture in the coming months judging by past Pixel series leaks. The official launch is likely to take place sometime in October when Google usually unveils its flagships.

Call me when the Pixel starts getting made by engineers and not product managers.

I don't mind at all that its a flat screen. Just means it won't be a pain in the ass to find and install a glass screen protector that will work well with the fingerprint reader.
