It seems like the leaks about the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL aren’t stopping, as we now have a whole lot of information about the next Google phone.
The latest video, which shows an engineering sample of the Pixel 9 Pro XL provided by Pixophone, was created by YouTuber Andro-news. It shows that it’s not working as it doesn’t have the necessary firmware, but it still gives us an incredibly close-up view of the phone’s body.
The back of the new Pixel is made of matte-textured glass, while the sides are made of polished metal with flat edges. This is clearly an evolution of the Pixel 8 series, which had flat screens with curved edges.
The “camera bar” on the back, which is still essentially the same width as the rest of the phone, is another notable cosmetic difference. It no longer connects to the side rail and instead floats freely. Just like last year’s Pixel 8 Pro, it also has three cameras: a 50 MP primary, a 48 MP ultrawide, and a 48 MP telephoto.
Regarding the more functional aspects of the design, Andro-news tells us that Google has placed the button on the Pixel 9 Pro XL in the same location as previous Pixel models. If you buy this phone and have trouble figuring out where your SIM card should go, keep in mind that Google has moved the SIM tray to the bottom edge of the phone from where it was on the side last time.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is scheduled to ship on August 13, featuring a flat-edge design with polished metal sides and a matte-textured glass back. The phone has three cameras: a 50MP primary, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP telephoto lens. With a new SIM tray on the bottom edge, the phone differs from earlier Pixels in this regard. It is being speculated that the Pixel 9 series will emphasize AI-powered features, such as Pixel Screenshot and one year of free access to Gemini Advanced. Brighter displays, more RAM, and a new Tensor G4 chipset are examples of hardware advancements.
Some Mysteries Remain
At least Google will have something to show when the phone is released, as Andro-news has failed to turn up a Pixel 9 Pro XL sample. However, other leaks may be relevant then.
The Pixel 9 series that has been in the news for the past few months is believed to be another version of the Pixel line with an emphasis on AI-powered features like Pixel Screenshot, which allows you to extract information from the screenshots you take, and free access to Gemini Advanced for a year. However, it will also have some hardware improvements, including a brighter screen, additional RAM, and a new chipset called the Tensor G4.
The Made by Google event on August 13 is likely to be quite a busy one as four new Pixel flagship phones—the standard Pixel 9, the smaller Pixel 9 Pro, the larger Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 9 Pro Fold—are expected to be released. Head over to our all rumour hub to know more about them.
What Are The Expected Camera Features?
The Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to include a larger 50MP primary camera, a 48MP ultrawide camera, optical zoom, better stabilization, and an enhanced portrait mode. Along with the AI-powered improvements, new features like Google’s computational photography algorithms and “Astro Mode” for photographing the night sky are also included. These figures will be verified upon formal reveal; they are based on rumors and leaks.
What About The Video Recording Capabilities?
It is speculated that the Pixel 9 Pro XL will allow 4K video shooting at multiple frame rates. Google’s optical and electrical stabilization should provide stable, seamless footage. There may be new video modes including time-lapse and slow motion, improved color accuracy and dynamic range, and stereo recording with separate audio separation. Until the formal announcement, these details remain theoretical.
Tell Me More About The AI Features?
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to include AI technologies to enhance productivity and user experience. Pixel Screenshot, Smart Reply, Tensor G4 chipset, adaptive brightness and battery life, and camera improvements like Night Sight, Super Res Zoom, and Portrait mode are some of these. For those who want AI-powered capabilities, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is an attractive option due to these features.
What About Battery Life And Charging Speed?
The upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and other variants in the Pixel 9 series are expected to have a battery capacity of 4,942 mAh, slightly less than last year’s Pixel 8 Pro. The standard Pixel 9 will have a 4,780 mAh battery which will be slightly larger. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL are expected to have the same battery capacity. There are no indications that the Pixel 9 models will charge faster than the previous generation models. But with the new Tensor G4, the increase in power efficiency should help maintain battery life without compromising performance.
Is There Any Information About The Display Resolution?
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to include a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display, which will offer great visibility even in direct sunlight. It will have a resolution of 1344 x 2992 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a peak brightness of 2,050 nits. All the specifications of the phone have surfaced online.
Conclusion
With its flat edges, polished metal sides, matte-textured glass back, and 50MP primary sensor, 48MP ultrawide, 48MP telephoto, and Google’s AI-powered capabilities, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a stylish device. Plus, it has extra RAM, a brighter screen, Tensor G4 chipset, buttons, and other practical upgrades.
