Right off the bat, one factor clearly stands out. Unlike the Pixel 8, the Pixel 9 has three cameras on the rear, one in all which clearly has a periscope zoom lens. This is a big replace for the ‘vanilla’ Pixel line, and one which brings it way more in tune with the Pro, spec-wise.

It simply would not finish in the body, it now ends close to it. It additionally appears to be comprised of metallic as earlier than. While it is not equivalent to what we have seen in earlier Pixels, this clearly nonetheless makes the telephone recognizable as a Pixel.

That makes it marginally taller, wider, and slimmer than its predecessor. It’s anticipated to sport a 6.1-inch display, which is smaller than the Pixel 8’s however may need a barely totally different facet ratio.
No different particulars in regards to the Pixel 9 are recognized but, however that is not an enormous drawback contemplating it is solely anticipated to turn into official in about eight months. Surely by then we’ll have been drowning in leaks for some time, because it at all times occurs with Pixels. Stay tuned and we’ll let you realize once we discover out extra.
