Google will change its strategy a bit with its Pixels in 2024. Rumors say they want to be more like Apple and Samsung than ever before, and that will mean that there will no longer be just two top-tier models. The Pixel 9 will be similar to the iPhone 16, the Pixel 9 Pro to the iPhone 16 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro… and the XL to the Pro Max.

A new XL surname coming to expand the family will also lead to increased prices, as we usually see when a manufacturer introduces a new surname.

According to leaks, these are the new prices that the Google Pixel 9 family will have. The Pixel 9 maintains the price of the Pixel 8: 799 euros. Moving to 256 GB will not be too expensive, only 60 euros more.

The prices of the Google Pixel 8 Pro remain the same as for the Pixel 9 Pro, starting at 1,099 euros. So far, everything is the same as last year, but we have one very important reservation: Buy Google Pixel 9 Pro This no longer means buying the best Pixel from family.

If we want the largest model, we will now have to go for the XL model, with a starting price of €1,199 for the 256 GB version and €1,299 for the 512 GB model. Given that the Pro XL model will primarily be nothing more than a larger Pro, the change of surname is an excellent plan to increase prices.

Right now, these are leaked prices and have not been confirmed by Google. If there’s one thing competition has taught us, it’s that with every new surname, a new starting price is born.
