Quite early in the year, initial glimpses of the Google Pixel 9 series shed light on the tech giant's ambitious plans for 2024. The leaks, showcasing a radical new design and an intriguing camera setup on the smaller model, hint at a departure from the conventional release strategy that Google has adhered to since the Tensor reboot in 2021.

Traditionally, Google has followed a bifurcated approach, unveiling a premium "Pro" device alongside a slightly restrained, more affordable counterpart. Key distinctions between the two usually centered around screen size, memory specifications, and the inclusion of a telephoto camera exclusively reserved for the larger Pro model.However, this year promises a paradigm shift.

Recent renders shared by OnLeaks and 91Mobiles offer a sneak peek into the smaller Pixel 9, which boasts a design remarkably similar to the Pixel 9 Pro leaked earlier. Despite its smaller dimensions—measuring 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm compared to the Pixel 8's 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm—the screen size remains consistent at around 6.2 inches.

The headline-grabbing revelation is the introduction of three cameras on the smaller Pixel 9.

Mirroring the layout of the Pixel 9 Pro renders, the third camera is unmistakably a telephoto lens utilizing a periscope design, evident from the distinctive rectangular shape in the renders.

This development is particularly exciting for users who prefer a more compact device without compromising on the camera sensor front. Noteworthy is the presence of a cutout, presumably for the temperature sensor, a feature observed on the Pixel 9 Pro, reinforcing a unified design approach across both models.

If these leaks materialize into reality, it signifies a departure from the established pattern of Google's Tensor-powered releases, indicating a more cohesive offering between the two devices in the Pixel 9 series.

Anticipated for release in October, if historical patterns hold true, Google's Pixel 9 series launch is poised to make waves, introducing a new era of design and imaging capabilities to the smartphone landscape.
