Were still almost a month away from when the Google Pixel 9 line will probably launch, but you can already get a somewhat official look at all four expected models namely the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold (which is thought to be the launch name of the Pixel Fold 2). <\/p>\n
This is thanks to the NCC (a Taiwanese regulatory agency), which via Android Authority has published photos of all four of these devices. <\/p>\n
As this is an official government agency, its likely that the images and accompanying details are accurate, though things could still be subject to change until Google announces them. <\/p>\n

In any case, the images some of which you can see above line up with previous leaks, showing a new camera block design for the non-foldables, which doesnt run quite to the edges of the back. <\/p>\n
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold has bigger changes, with a square camera block on the back, while the selfie camera for the foldable screen has been moved into a punch-hole cut-out, rather than being in the bezel as it was with the original Google Pixel Fold. <\/p>\n
The Pixel 9 Pro Folds bezels also appear to be smaller than its predecessors, and the crease looks like it might be smaller too, so Googles second foldable could be a significant visual upgrade on its first. <\/p>\n
As well as photos, the NCC also published battery capacities for the four phones, listing the Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro as having 4,558mAh batteries, the Pixel 9 Pro XL as having a 4,942mAh one, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold as having a 4,560mAh one. <\/p>\n

These are likely the rated capacities (which are the minimum you can expect) rather than the typical capacities (which is what companies tend to advertise). For comparison though, the Pixel 8 has a 4,485mAh rated capacity and a 4,575mAh typical one, the Pixel 8 Pro has 4,950mAh rated capacity and a 5,050mAh typical one, and the Pixel Fold has a 4,727mAh rated capacity and a 4,821mAh typical one. <\/p>\n
So based on this the Pixel 9 might have a slightly larger battery than its predecessor, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL probably has a similar capacity to the Pixel 8 Pro (which its expected to be more comparable to than the Pixel 9 Pro is), and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold could have a slightly smaller battery than the Pixel Fold. <\/p>\n
Finally, the NCC tests reveal approximate charging speeds for the four phones. Sadly this doesnt reveal the maximum speeds on offer. But with the Pixel 9 Pro XL achieving a speed of 32.67W, its likely that it will officially support at least 35W charging, which would be slightly higher than the 30W of the Pixel 8 Pro. <\/p>\n
As for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, that achieves 20.25W here, though as Google never got specific about the maximum charging speed of the Pixel Fold, we dont have anything to compare it to here. <\/p>\n
The other phones are in line with their predecessors, suggesting the Pixel 9 could have an advertised charging speed of 27W, and the Pixel 9 Pro of 30W. <\/p>\n
We should know for sure soon, as the Pixel 9 series is expected to be unveiled on August 13. <\/p>\n
