Google will release an XL version for the first time since the Pixel 5 series
In January 2024, renders of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro appeared online, created by the famous online tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks. However, now Hemmerstoffer himself has revealed that there was confusion – the models depicted in the January renderings are actually the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, and also shared the «correct» Pixel 9.

The new renders are noticeably different from their predecessors, if only in that the Pixel 9 now lacks the third, periscope, module. The main camera is shown as double. Let's remember that in January it was assumed that Pixel 9 would be the first «non-professional» Pixel with triple camera.
In addition, it can be noted that Pixel 9 will have rounded corners, a flat display and a central selfie camera.
The power button and volume keys are located on the right side. The smartphone will feature a 6.03-inch display, which is slightly smaller than the 6.1-inch display on the Pixel 9 Pro. Pixel 9 measures 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5 mm and 12 mm including camera bump.
Steve Hemmerstoffer has a long track record of creating authentic renders of various smartphones before they are announced. Such leaks include Samsung Galaxy S21, Huawei Mate 40, Pixel 5, Sony Xperia XZ4, Google Pixel 4 XL and much more.
