New Leaks Show More Details
Earlier this month, certain leaks claimed that the Google Pixel 9 was already available unofficially in Algeria. These showed a vibrant pink variant of the device. But while these leaks had shown parts of the smartphone including its color, they did not turn on its screen thereby leaving out software interface details.
But now there is another hands-on video leak which shows the same phone with its display active. This video confirms an earlier design leak with symmetrical bezels and introduces new wallpaper.
A glance into the Google Home Settings menu and a quick look at the Gmail app opening an animation hint about the user interface and software experience before time.
Design And Display Insights
This latest video does not just show off the front of the phone but also the back side too where we see a glossy finish housing a rounded-rectangular dual camera module – as opposed to anticipated matte backs for Pro models featuring a triple camera setup.
Pixel 9 design includes a flat frame similar to recent iPhones’ sides; corners are however curved for better grip comfortability when handling it. Reports indicate that Samsung’s M14 OLED display will be used by the whole Pixel 9 series which is said to be better than the Galaxy S24 series’ displays and the same one chosen for Apple iPhone 16 Pro models.
By choosing M14 OLED display technology over others like IPS LCD or AMOLED, Google shows its commitment to providing cutting-edge visual quality that could possibly become the new standard for high-end smartphones.
What To Expect At the Launch Event
As we approach the August 13th date more details will emerge about what exactly will be launched with the Pixel 9 series.
With such an early release, eye-catching pink color variant, and advanced display tech adopted; it is clear that this device is going to make a big wave in the smartphone market. More updates shall follow soon as the event draws closer.
