We are less than three weeks away from the presentation of the Pixel 9 generation, p The Pixel 9 Pro XL, whose images we already saw a few days ago, as a replacement for the Pixel 8 Pro, i.e. the one that has been the highlight of the family’s offer until now. And that, as we have already told you, will be a generation composed of many more members (five, compared to the previous three), because they add both the Pro model, but with the dimensions of the standard model. , as well as the second generation of the foldable, which did not make such a move in its first generation.

For those who have not read our previous publications on this topic, remember that the various models that according to the leaks will make up the Pixel 9 family, which, as you already know, will be introduced in just three weeks, on August 13:

• Pixel 9: codename “Tokay”. Replaces Pixel 8.Notification/trigger? in August 2024.
• Pixel 9 Pro: code name “Caiman”. A new proposal, with 9 Pro specs but Pixel 9 size. Announcement/Launch? in August from 2024.
• Pixel 9 Pro XL: codename “Komodo”. Replaces Pixel 8 Pro. Announcement/Launch? in August from 2024.
• Pixel 9 Pro Fold: codenamed “Comet”. Replaces Pixel Fold. Announcement/Launch? in August from 2024.
• Pixel 9a: no known code name. Replaces Pixel 8a. Run in spring 2025?

That, It is incorrect to assume that the Pixel 9 Pro will be the successor to the Pixel 8 Pro Well, as you can see in the above list, this is a new model that rightfully meets a demand that has been growing over time, and that is none other than those who want a smartphone with a size of around 6.1-6.2. inches, but with top-of-the-line features, but with absolute top-of-the-line features typically found in sizes around 6.7 inches.

Therefore, the most appropriate comparison to assess the generational leap is between Pixel 8 and Pixel 9, and Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Well, just a few weeks after its introduction, we found it video in which we can see the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL together29 seconds, during which we have one more confirmation that this is indeed the location of the future 9 Pro XL, and in addition, they make it clearer than ever (and that the leaked images and renders have already done an excellent job in this sense) the design differences between the two generations.

The most obvious is of course the main camera module, which It stops expanding from one side to the other and takes the shape of a rounded rectangle with right angles all around.. Additionally, it takes on the same color as the rest of the device, instead of the metallic silver of the current generation. And speaking of right angles, you can see it These also appear on the edge of the Pixel 9 Pro XL (and probably for the rest of the generation as well), abandoning the curved profile we’ve known so far. And although it is not clearly visible in the video (it is a shame that the screen did not turn on for both), previous rumors They indicate that the frame of the Pixel 9 will be somewhat narrower than the current generation.

Pixel 9 prices in Europe were leaked a few weeks ago, and if they are finally confirmed, we will see a price increase of 100 euros in the 128 gigabyte version of the Pixel 9 Pro XL compared to the Pixel 8 Pro However, if it is confirmed that all Pixel 9 Pro (Pro, Pro XL and Pro Fold) will include one year of Gemini Advenced, the increase may be. more justified, since we are talking about a service that, if contracted separately, costs 263.88 euros (21.99 euros / month, since it does not offer an annual subscription).
