Two months after we got our first look at the Pixel 9 Pro, renders of the smaller Pixel 9 have come forth. The images tout a similar design as the more premium version but with fewer features. A gander at these images shows that Google’s team is attempting to mimic the flat edges that Apple switched to when it unveiled the iPhone 12 family back in 2020. In any case, let us look at these renders and see what else has changed.
Pixel 9 also flaunts rounded edges, making it aesthetically different from Google’s previous launches
A total of four renders and a 360-degree video have materialized thanks to the collaboration of 91mobiles and prolific leakster @OnLeaks, giving us a crisp look at the Pixel 9. Google has retained some design aspects, and according to these renders, a front-facing shooter is present at the top center of the upcoming flagship. However, the flat edges and rounded corners will likely give it a more premium feel, though the more prominent rear camera bump suggests that Google intends to make this year’s flagships thinner than before.
In terms of appeal, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro might see an upgrade by becoming sleeker, but at the cost of a smaller battery capacity and a potentially less capable cooling solution. Thankfully, the Tensor G4 that Google is said to use for these two models may use the advanced FOWLP or ‘Fan out Wafer Level Packaging,’ which not only reduces the thickness of the chipset die but also helps to increase heat resistance and improve performance. As for the other specifications, the Pixel 9 is said to sport a 6.03-inch OLED panel.
Regarding the dimensions, the Pixel 9 measures around 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm and 12mm, with the rear camera bump added to the equation. The power button and volume keys are placed on the right side of the flat frame, but it is unconfirmed if the black finish that we see in the renders will enter mass production later in the year. As always, we will update our readers in the future regarding Google’s plans, so stay tuned.
