Google Pixel 9 Exposed in Latest CAD Renders
Fresh leaks just unveiled the upcoming Google Pixel 9, and it's stealing the spotlight with some noteworthy changes. Unlike its predecessor, the Pixel 8, the Pixel 9 flaunts a triple-camera setup on its rear, featuring an unmistakable periscope zoom lens – a significant leap for the standard Pixel lineup.
One eye-catching transformation is the adoption of 'flat sides,' reminiscent of a trend started by Apple. The Pixel 9's frame has ditched the curved aesthetics of the Pixel 8 in favor of a sleek, iPhone-like flatness. While opinions on flat versus curved frames may vary, the prevalence of this design across different companies raises questions about innovation and originality in the industry.
The camera island has undergone a revamp too, now sporting an oval shape that doesn't spill into the frame. Although different from its predecessor, the metal construction and distinctive Pixel identity remain intact.
The flatness of the frame is visible front and center, displaying symmetrical screen bezels. The top-middle portion of the screen has a single hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera, preserving a simple and contemporary design.
According to leaked information, the Pixel 9 is expected to measure 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5 mm, with the camera bump adding a thickness of 12 mm. While marginally taller and wider, the device is slimmer compared to its forerunner. Anticipated to feature a 6.1-inch screen, the Pixel 9 might bring a new aspect ratio to the table.
There are not many more specifics available regarding the Pixel 9, since its formal release is not expected to occur for another eight months. But as is customary, Pixel fans should prepare for a barrage of leaks in the upcoming months. As we learn more about Google's next smartphone, be sure to check back for the most recent information.
