Google has revealed the design of its upcoming flagship phones, the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, in two new videos.
Google is the king of leaks, there can be no doubt about it. The company's upcoming phones are often extensively leaked weeks or months before launch, and Google typically responds by revealing the phones early, announcement dates be damned.
Sure enough, it happened this year as well with the Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Even though the two upcoming smartphones are scheduled to be unveiled on August 13, Google revealed their design in a pair of brief teaser videos.
The videos are focused on Google's AI assistant Gemini, but are clearly labeled "Introducing the Google Pixel 9 Pro" and "Introducing the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold," both giving us a glimpse at the upcoming phones near the end of the video.
In the first video, we see the Pixel 9 Pro's humongous, oval camera island with three lenses on the back, while the 9 Pro Fold sports a slightly shorter but double-stacked camera bump instead.
Google also followed up with another teaser, this time on the Google Store, which has a new landing page for the Pixels with images of the two phones, revealing even more details. The Fold is more interesting of the two reveals, as it also shows a redesigned hinge, flatter edges, as well as narrower bezels all around. The new Fold definitely looks to be a big improvement compared to the old Pixel Fold, which had quite unsightly bezels on both the inner and outer display.
The new teasers also tell us something we could've easily guessed: Google will place major emphasis on the phones' AI capabilities. Everything will be Gemini-fied, and the Pixels will likely get some exclusive features.
Full specs are still missing, but those will be revealed at the event, which kicks off at 10 a.m. PT on Aug. 13.
