Google Pixel 9: all of the leaks and rumors so far

We may never know why Google can&rsquo;t keep its Pixel phones under wraps until launch, but here we are again in 2024 with a new set of leaks. They started back in January with the new Pixel 9, which apparently will come in three sizes. Then, in February, we got the Pixel Fold 2, which might be called the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
The official word is that Google&rsquo;s holding a &ldquo;Made by Google&rdquo; Pixel event on August 13th. The timing indicates Google might launch the new Pixel 9 and 9 Pro series well ahead of the usual October release, which could give it a buzzy lead ahead of the iPhone 16 expected in September. However, it would mean the current flagship Pixel 8 lineup&rsquo;s time in the spotlight would get cut short &mdash; it feels like it was just reviewed!
Google seems to be bringing back the &ldquo;XL&rdquo; moniker for a larger Pixel 9 Pro, something it had dropped with the 2020 launch of the Pixel 5. From leaked images, it looks like the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL will have the same camera systems, so unlike previous years, those who prefer an easier-to-hold device don’t have to opt for the non-Pro Pixel with a lesser camera.
The prices for all the new hardware might get a slight bump, too, according to reports from Dealabs and Android Authority.
