Google Pixel 9 Pro Leaks: First Real-Life Images Surface Online

Google's upcoming Pixel 9 series has been the subject of rumors and leaks for months, and now we're getting our first glimpse of the Pixel 9 Pro in real life. Images shared by a Russian website allegedly show the phone's design and some of its potential specifications.

Smaller Than Expected, Bigger on RAM?

The leaked images depict a phone with a triple-lens rear camera system, suggesting it's the Pixel 9 Pro rather than the standard Pixel 9 (which is rumored to have a dual-camera setup). The phone also appears smaller than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, hinting at a possible 6.1-inch display for the Pixel 9 Pro.

One image shows the phone in fast boot mode, revealing the codename "caiman" and some key specs. This codename aligns with earlier reports about the Pixel 9 Pro. Interestingly, the leak suggests a significant RAM upgrade – 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM compared to the Pixel 8 Pro's maximum of 12GB. Storage capacity, however, might remain at 128GB.

Flat Sides and Familiar Features:

Additional images provide a 360-degree view of the phone, showcasing a design with flat sides that curve into the front and back. This design element is similar to what we've seen on other recent smartphones. The top of the phone appears to have a cutout, likely for the mmWave antenna, just like the Pixel 8 Pro.

It's important to remember that these are leaks, and while they seem to match previous renders, it's always wise to wait for official confirmation from Google.

In summary, the leaked images of the Pixel 9 Pro suggest a smaller design compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max, a possible 6.1-inch display, a triple-lens rear camera system, and a significant RAM upgrade to 16GB. However, these are unconfirmed details, and we'll have to wait for Google's official announcement to know for sure.
