Early Google Pixel 9 Pro renders have been leaked, revealing a redesigned camera bar and flat display, with the phone being 0.3mm slimmer than the Pixel 8 Pro. The leak suggests a 6.5-inch screen for the 9 Pro and a possible third model in the Pixel 9 series. The design has sharp edges, a redesigned camera bar, and a new SIM card slot placement.
The camera bar has been redesigned to resemble the Pixel Fold, with a more curvy module housing the camera setup, flash, and temperature sensor. The power and volume buttons remain on the right side, but the SIM card slot has moved to the bottom right of the USB-C port.
While the leak suggests a smaller 6.5-inch screen, this is likely an error as the dimensions are almost identical to the Pixel 8 Pro. Previous leaks pointed to a third Pixel model between the standard and Pro models, so this 6.5-inch screen size likely refers to that mid-range Pixel.
The redesigned edges and camera setup draw comparisons to the iPhone and Nothing Phone aesthetics. It remains to be seen if consumers will embrace the sharper flat edges over the soft bubbly curves of the Pixel 8 series that align with Android’s rounded UI aesthetic.
