Pixel 9 smartphones are popping up everywhere except where they’re supposed to be: under wraps. Leaks about the latest device have been surfacing almost daily, with the most recent revelation being a comprehensive report detailing its specifications.
The 9-series is set to depart from convention by launching directly on Android 14, skipping the introduction of a new model in the interim. The accelerated release may have had a significant side effect, considering the Pixel 8 phones launched in November. The new 9-series telephones are expected to follow a similar design and feature set to the successful 8-series.
The anticipated Pixel 9 Professional XL, joining its vanilla and professional counterparts, is expected to run on a powerful combination of the Google Tensor G4 processor and the advanced Titan M2 security module. The Professional XL may feature a starting configuration with 16GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with the option to expand up to 1TB in storage capacity. The estimated bottom value is anticipated to be approximately $1,100. Although the base model is 256GB, it appears that early adopters may receive a complimentary upgrade to 512GB with pre-orders.
The XL telephone features a prominent 6.8-inch OLED display, boasting a resolution of 1,344 x 2,992 pixels and up to 3,000 nits of brightness – a notable increase from previous rumors suggesting a lower peak brightness. The upcoming show is expected to be shielded by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, a cutting-edge protection technology. The smartphone will boast a cutting-edge 42-megapixel front-facing camera featuring an f/2.2 aperture lens, ideal for capturing high-quality selfies in various lighting conditions.
On the rear, a 50-megapixel camera features a wide-angle lens with an aperture of f/1.68, accompanied by a 48-megapixel periscope sensor with a 5x optical zoom and an f/2.8 aperture, as well as a high-resolution 48-megapixel sensor with a 123-degree field-of-view and an f/1.7 aperture. According to sources, the primary camera is expected to feature a 1/1.31-inch sensor, accompanied by optical image stabilization (OIS). The highly versatile module leverages the Sony IMX585 sensor, boasting a compact 1/2.51” form factor. Both cameras are expected to be included on each of the three upcoming Pixel 9 models. Unique to the Professional and Professional XL models is the telephoto module, which leverages the same high-quality IMX858 sensor in combination with optical image stabilization (OIS). In a move that’s likely to please enthusiasts, Google has confirmed that it will utilize this advanced sensor in conjunction with an autofocus lens to power its selfie camera module as well? The Pixel 9 Professional Fold’s camera system is poised to boast a unique configuration.
While there’s no specific information regarding the current battery’s charging capabilities on this particular leak, an earlier iteration had boasted a capacity of 5,060mAh and 45W wired charging, with wireless charging specs yet to be determined.
With the integration of Gemini AI technology, the telephone will seamlessly operate with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. The Pixel Studio leverages artificial intelligence to craft visually stunning images. Rethink transforms a tangible entity within an image into something entirely distinct. Here’s an example: a road morphs seamlessly into a serene river. An AI-driven climate app is expected to emerge, offering users concise summaries and personalized outfit recommendations, in addition to Screenshot Search functionality that can sift through their photo library by means of natural language prompts.
In the unlikely event that you went 24 hours without being bombarded by newly leaked images of a non-XL Pixel phone, consider yourselves fortunate – and behold, we have gathered some exclusive shots for your viewing pleasure.
