Google Pixel 9 series prototypes leaked revealing new designs, faster charging, and more

In a significant leak, new photos, battery sizes, and charging speeds of the entire Google Pixel 9 series have surfaced from the NCC regulatory agency, the Taiwanese equivalent of the FCC. This includes the first clear images of the highly anticipated Pixel 9 Pro Fold, showcasing its crease and confirming the move of the inner selfie camera to the corner of the screen. The new square camera arrangement, replacing the Pixel series’ signature long camera bar, is also validated.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold: A closer look

The most notable reveal is the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which appears to have a slimmer design than the original Pixel Fold, with reduced bezels and a less noticeable crease. The inner selfie camera has also been moved to the corner of the screen.

One of the leaked images shows the phone lying completely flat, suggesting that it can be opened all the way, unlike the first-generation Fold.

Charging Speed Improvements

The NCC reports also reveal new charging speeds for the Pixel 9 series. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is listed with a charging speed of 32.67W, suggesting that it will support at least 35W charging. This would be a significant improvement over the Pixel 8 Pro, which only supports up to 30W charging. Even a new 45W Google-branded charging brick has also been revealed.
