Can you really call them \"leaks\" if, every year, Google's Pixel phones end up being sloshed all over the web for months before their official release? What volume of photos, hardware specifications, and other details constitutes a leak, rather than a quick-draining colander? <\/p>\n
Google's Pixel 9 series of phones are expected to be launched at an event on August 13. Because those phones need to be certified by various regulators, including the Taiwanese National Communications Commission, or NCC, there are now photosso many photosof all four phones Google is expected to announce next month. The Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Google's second attempt at a folding phone, have been sized, measured, rated for battery life and charging speed, and even disassembled for a look inside. <\/p>\n
As has been suggested by Pixel 9 renders, renders of all three non-folding phones, and pictures of prototypes, the NCC pictures confirm that Google's \"Pro\" phone in this series is the same size as the standard model 9 but with three rear cameras and upgraded, possibly AI-friendly, specs. The NCC filings don't confirm all internal specs, such as the eye-popping 16GB of RAM seen in an earlier Pixel 9 Pro prototype. Google has previously noted that keeping certain generative models to be \"RAM-resident\" requires more RAM. <\/p>\n

The Pixel 9 and 9 Pro get a 4,558 mAh battery, according to NCC filings, while the 9 Pro XL packs in 4,942 mAh. That represents a very slight bump from the Pixel 8 for the Pixel 9, and about even between the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL (which, reminder, are now the \"big\" phones, even if some people might consider the 6.1-inch screens on the base models not quite \"small\"). Charging speeds are roughly the same between the Pixel 8 and 9, as Android Authority notes, though the \"big\" Pixel phone jumps from roughly 27 W in the 8 series to almost 33 W on the Pixel 9 Pro XL listing. <\/p>\n
The new Fold's battery is cited as 4,560 mAh, compared to the prior model's 4,727mAh. As noted in our review of the Pixel Fold, Google managed to fit the biggest battery in the category into it, but the category has an inherent issue with battery life. Actually using that big OLED screen for the things that make it fun to use, like watching videos or playing games, drains the battery faster than a similar experience with a tablet, which can have twice the battery cells packed in. <\/p>\n
All four Pixel phones have Thread radio support listed, and all but the base model Pixel 9 have ultra-wideband (UWB) support noted. There's also a new Google-white-and-smooth 45 W charger submitted with these phones. <\/p>\n
Android Authority has the best layout of photos of the Pixel 9 series made visible by the NCC. The devices seem like a lock to be debuted at the Made by Google event on August 13. <\/p>\n
