Google will be introducing the Pixel 9 series of devices at the next “Made by Google” event on August 13. Yes, this year’s Google product event is taking place in August instead of October. The company is expected to introduce as many as four new Pixel phones this year. These include the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Thanks to the numerous leaks, there’s hardly anything left to the imagination regarding the design of the upcoming Pixel phones. Most recently, a Pixel 9 Pro XL unit was compared with Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra flagship. Now, the same source has posted a new video, in which the Pixel 9 Pro XL is compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL has flat sides and rounded corners like the iPhone 14 Pro Max
In the hands-on video, the Pixel 9 Pro XL has flat sides and rounded corners like the iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, the rear camera housing sets them apart in terms of design. The iPhone 14 Pro Max has a large square camera module that’s placed in the top-left corner. The Pixel 9 Pro XL, on the other hand, has a horizontal primary camera module towards the top.
The latest leak refutes the earlier reports that claimed that the Pixel 9 Pro XL will resemble the iPhone 14 Pro Max. As you can see in the images, that will not be the case. Notably, in another video, the source has also compared the regular Pixel 9 with the Pixel 8. It doesn’t reveal a lot, other than showing the size and how similar these phones are in terms of design.
The XL variant will be the most loaded offering in the Pixel 9 series
If the reports are to be believed, the Pixel 9 Pro XL will be the most loaded model in the upcoming series. Powered by the Google Tensor G4 processor, the device is said to come with 12GB or 16GB of RAM. The handset will have either a 6.7-inch or a 6.8-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED panel. The device is expected to sport a max screen refresh rate of 120Hz and support for HDR10+ content.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL is also said to flaunt an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and a new modem for enhanced connectivity. In the camera department, the XL model is expected to get a main, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto lens at the rear. The official launch is less than a month away, so mark your calendars for August 13.
