As Google gears up for its next Pixel launch, the leaked images of the four new devices are reaching critical mass.
Recent leaks have provided insights into the devices' specifications, design, and pricing. One of the new devices will be the XL model which will likely be reintroduced in the Pixel lineup this year.
Aside from the Pixel 9 Pro XL, the Pixel lineup will consist of the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Additionally, we could also see the debut of the Pixel Watch 3 at the event.

Starting with the Pixel 9, it is expected to feature a 6.24-inch display with 12GB of RAM. On the other hand, the similarly sized Pixel 9 Pro will come equipped with a larger 6.34-inch screen, 16GB of RAM, and enhanced camera capabilities.
Finally, the true successor to last year’s Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro XL will boast a larger 6.73-inch display. The Pixel 9 lineup is rumoured to be available in four different colours including Obsidian (black), Porcelain (white), Cosmo (some kind of pink variant), and Mojito (green).
In terms of camera, the Pro models will reportedly feature a triple 50MP camera setup which consists of a main shooter, an ultra-wide, and a 5x optical zoom periscope telephoto lens. The standard Pixel 9 is said to come with a dual-camera system, missing out on the telephoto lens.
Powering all three models will likely be Google's Tensor G4 Chip. Additionally, as previously reported, the Google Pixel 9 might also come equipped with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
As seen in the video, it looks like the Google Pixel 9 will have a flat frame around the device and will sport a larger camera island compared to its predecessor.
According to Dealabs, prices of the base Pixel 9 is expected to start at €899 (~S$1,316), while the top-tier Pixel 9 Pro XL could cost as much as €1,689 (~S$2,473) for the 1TB version. As for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, it's rumoured to be priced starting at €1,899 (~S$2,781) for the 256GB model. To give these figures some context, Samsung’s latest Z Fold6 will set you back S$2,548.
