Google's Pixel 9 & Pixel 9 Pro can't stop leaking

Google’s Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro just showed up in 4K resolution on X.

Despite Google announcing the entire Pixel 9 series next week, the leaky company that is Google is not stopping. Now, X user @MysteryLupin has posted 4K renders of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, which makes these some of the highest-resolution renders we’ve seen so far.

This is the wintergreen and peony Pixel 9 colors and the hazel and obsidian Pixel 9 Pro. It appears to be the Pixel 9 Pro model, not the XL model.

While tough to see on these renders, the Pixel 9 is slated to sport a glossy back, much like the Pixel 8, while the Pixel 9 Pro will sport a matte back like the Pixel 8 Pro. The easiest way to see the difference here is the camera module. Obviously, the Pixel 9 Pro will sport three cameras, as the Pro models have for years, while the regular Pixel 9 gets two—wide and ultrawide.

Pixel 9 will go official on August 13

Google will take the stage in Mountain View, California, next week to announce the new Pixel 9 series. This includes the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. On top of that, we are also expecting to see the Pixel Buds Pro 2, and the Pixel Watch 3 (41mm and 45mm). So, there are quite a few devices for Google to show off next week.

This is also the earliest that Google has held its Pixel event ever, even dating back to the Nexus days. Typically, Google will announce its flagship phones in October, sometimes late September, like in 2020 with the Pixel 5. So announcing these in mid-August is quite surprising. Though, this likely has something to do with the iPhone coming in September. Prices for the Pixel 9 are set to start at $799, while the Pixel 9 Pro will start at $999, which is pretty competitive to what Apple will offer with its iPhone 16 next month.
