Google Expected to Offer Pixel 9 Series with Three Models, Including a Pixel 9 Pro XL

Google, the developer of the Android OS, designs and manufactures the Pixel series of smartphones, which garner significant attention every year. New information has emerged regarding the Pixel 9 series, anticipated to launch in 2024.

Based on information provided by renowned leaker Steve H. McFly, Indian media outlet 91mobiles has released expected renderings. According to these images, the Pixel 9 series is projected to consist of three models: the standard and Pro models, along with a new 'Pro XL' model.

Let's take a look at the expected specifications for each model:

Pixel 9: Approximately 6.03-inch display, body size approximately 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm, dual camera Pixel 9 Pro: Approximately 6.1-inch display, body size approximately 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm, triple camera Pixel 9 Pro XL: Approximately 6.5-inch display, body size approximately 162.7 x 76.6 x 8.5mm, triple camera

All models are expected to feature flat displays with a punch-hole selfie camera on the front. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL models are anticipated to have slimmer bezels, with the XL model boasting the largest display size.

The Pixel 9 series is expected to be powered by Google's new Tensor G4 chip and support Qi2 wireless charging and a new adaptive touch technology. The addition of a 'Pro XL' model is notable, as the Pixel lineup has not previously featured a model with that designation.

Meanwhile, Google unveiled its first foldable phone, the Pixel Fold, in the summer of 2023. However, despite its high price, it was inevitably positioned as a previous-generation model shortly after the Pixel 8 series launch. There are also predictions that the successor, the Pixel Fold 2, will be built upon the foundation of the Pixel 9 series.

Industry attention is focused on Google's premium lineup strategy for the Pixel 9 series and the impact it will have on the existing smartphone market.
