Google usually launches its Pixel series flagship smartphone in the second half of every year. This year seems to be no exception.
The US tech giant is likely to release the Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro around the same time this year as the successor to the Google Pixel 8 series launched last October. While the launch is still a long time away, the Pixel 9 series is rumored to come with several upgrades.
Now an online report has leaked 5K renders of the premium
Google Pixel 9 Pro. The phone's design and measurements have been glimpsed
through a 360-degree video. Notably, the video showcased a design that was seen
on the Samsung Galaxy S24+ as well as the latest iPhone models. The main
similarity between these phones is the flat frame design.
5K renders of Google Pixel 9 Pro surfaced
My Smart Price and tipster Onlix have jointly leaked 5K
renders of the Google Pixel 9 Pro. This phone may offer a flat display of
around 6.5 inches, meaning it will be slightly smaller in size than its
predecessor. The renders confirm the presence of a punch-hole cutout at the top
center of the display for the selfie camera and slim bezels around the display.
Google's flagship device is going to offer a flat frame,
where the power button and volume rockers will be located on the right side and
the minimalist look will be maintained with only the antenna symbol on the left
side. The bottom of the Google Pixel 9 Pro will house the USB Type-C port,
speaker grill and SIM card tray, while the top will house the mm Wave antenna
cover and microphone.
Reports suggest that the Google Pixel 9 Pro may measure
162.7 x 76.6 x 8.5 mm. The phone may see a bump of up to 12.0 mm for the camera
bump. The renders hinted at a revised design for the rear camera setup. It is
expected to have a triple-camera setup, which will include a telephoto sensor
alongside the standard wide camera. Notably, this periscope telephoto sensor is
speculated to support variable aperture, which has further fueled fans'
curiosity about the Google Pixel 9 Pro's camera capabilities.
