New CAD-based renders of the Pixel 9 have emerged, suggesting that Google is changing its approach to phone launches. Earlier, we saw two sets of renders in January, rumored to be the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
These new images reveal a familiar design to the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL, featuring a flat metal frame and an updated camera island with an oval shape that doesn’t blend into the frame like previous Pixel generations.

Reports suggest that the Pixel 9 will feature a 6.03-inch display (likely a 120Hz OLED) compared to the 6.1-inch Pixel 9 Pro and 6.5-inch Pixel 9 Pro XL. The dimensions of the vanilla Pixel 9 are listed as 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm. Another notable difference is the dual camera setup on the Pixel 9, as opposed to the three cameras on the Pro models.

Google may introduce a new strategy by launching three Pixel 9 models simultaneously. The pricing and potential impact on the Pixel A-series phones remain to be seen. More details are expected to surface in the coming months as the official launch of the Pixel 9 is likely scheduled for October.
