It appears that Google is aiming to further expand the Pixel family.
At least, that’s if a post from XDA Forums (as spotted by 9to5Google) is to be believed. The post contains leaked photos of what is purported to be a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, which would be a new addition to the Pixel portfolio. Google plans to show off its latest line of Pixels at an event on Aug. 13.
In the past year or so, Google has released four Pixel phones: The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel Fold, and the Pixel 8a. We already know for a fact that Google will show off the Pixel 9 Pro and a new Pro version of the Pixel Fold on Aug. 13. That would normally leave just the regular Pixel 9 (a theoretical Pixel 9a wouldn’t launch until next year), but if this leak is true, there will also be a Pixel 9 Pro XL for Google to show off.
Mashable Light Speed
There isn’t a lot else to glean from this leak, unfortunately. The model posted in the leak apparently has 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, as well as a new internal modem courtesy of Samsung, per 9to5Google. It’s difficult to tell from the photos without a direct comparison how much bigger it is than the Pixel 9 Pro — or if there are any noteworthy tech spec differences on the inside.
But still, if you’ve been wanting a bigger Pro Pixel, this might be your year.
