First Google Pixel 9 Pro renders reveal a smaller display, new camera island
Google released the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in October 2023 and is now looking at the Pixel 9 lineup.
According to the first CAD-based renders, the Pixel 9 Pro will have a smaller screen, flat panels and sides, and a camera bump that no longer extends from edge to edge.
Leaks revealed that the screen will be a 6.5″ panel, compared to the 6.7″ OLED on the predecessor. However, the entire body will be essentially the same size, which means the bezels will be slightly thicker.
In the past three generations of Pixel flagships, Google relied on a wide camera island. The shooters are again depicted horizontally but within an oval island. While the device will be 8.5mm thin at its base, the bump will add about 50%, measuring 12mm at its most prominent.
Google is using an aluminum frame, but we can see the company following the titanium alloy trend that Apple set with the iPhone 15 Pro series and adopted in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
