Google’s Pixel 9 lineup seems in hands-on photographs 5 months early

It’s a day that ends in Y, so naturally, we’re coping with yet one more Google Pixel {hardware} leak. This time, the Pixel 9, 9 Professional, and 9 Professional XL may be seen facet by facet in new photographs from Rozetked — a full 5 months earlier than Google’s typical October launch timeframe.

I’ve many questions on how and why these models are out on the earth so early, however right here we’re. And I do know quite a lot of you might be little doubt eyeing that common 9 Professional, which can lastly put Google’s absolute best digital camera chops right into a normal-sized telephone. In the meantime, the 9 Professional XL seems to be a good bit taller than Apple’s iPhone 15 Professional Max.

l’m a bit curious as as to whether Google will nonetheless name this a “digital camera bar” now that it now not spans the complete width of the telephone. It marks a reasonably large change to the Pixel’s visible identification, however the brand new type nonetheless seems to be pretty distinctive in comparison with what Apple and Samsung are doing. As regular, the usual Pixel 9 could have a two-camera system, whereas the Professional could have a 3rd lens for telephoto / zoom functions.

Is Google making an attempt to outdo itself with earlier leaks annually? Might the truth that these units are already on the market imply that the corporate plans to shift their launch to an earlier date for 2024? May we see a Pixel 9 teaser throughout tomorrow’s Google I/O keynote? I imply, we already know what they appear like; at the least present us some totally different colours, Google. The place’s the Pixel Fold 2, er… Pixel 9 Professional Fold been hiding throughout all these leaks?

Anyway, the midrange Pixel 8A goes on sale this week for $499 and shouldn’t be ignored in the event you don’t thoughts some thicker bezels and never having Google’s most superior digital camera {hardware}.
