Pixel 9 Pro, XL, Fold Leaks: Everything coming at Aug 2024 event!

The next big Google Pixel launch is happening on August 13, 2024, and we could be seeing *at least* six devices launching. That includes a Pixel Watch 3 - now in two sizes - a second-gen Pixel Fold, an affordable Pixel 9 that might be the perfect phone for a lot of people -- and a 9 Pro in both small and XL sizes.

And, since in 2024 everything is AI, we'll probably get a closer look at how the Google Gemini assistant is going to shape up on smartphones, alongside the typical generative slop we've seen from other manufacturers. Here's everything we know about what's coming at the next Made By Google event!

Can't wait for the Pixel 10 so I can buy Pixel 9 at $500

[blankpotocnik]

Ah, I saw all the leaks and then saw the price of Pixel 8 plument down to 440€ and decided to go for it. It seems like no matter the original price at the end if you wait you can buy the normal Pixel for 400-500€.

I currently have the regular Pixel 6 and it's still a really great phone for me but I was split between wanting to upgrade to the Pixel 8 or the Pixel 9 and I decided to wait for the Pixel 9 because I didn't think I need to upgrade quite yet. After I saw the rumors for the smaller sized Pixel 9 Pro, I was really excited becasue I have smaller hands and I have also always wanted the pro features in a phone the size of the regular Pixel. The rounded camera bar is very jarring and might take a little getting used to. the Pixel 9's camera bar reminds me of the uniquely shaped cameras bumps of European/Asian Android phones like the Honor 200 or the Xiaomi 14 Ultra for example.

Those prices are insane. Unless Google offers crazy trade in deals then there's no shot I'm upgrading and I'm sure many people feel the same way.

[Melchezidek]

People just complain about everything! The design is fine.

I've had the standard Pixel 7 since launch (upgraded from my beloved Pixel 2 XL after 5 years) it's been a solid device so far but I'm looking to upgrade to the Pixel 10 series next year. This time I'm going for the bigger pro model

[carlosfigueroa]

You know I'm not that kind of person who's obsessed with the camera, because for me I need 512GB of storage and bigger memory ram, and now days they don't have SD card slot no more I love the new design, at least they could've make the camera more flatter, like how they did with Samsung Galaxy S23 or S24 design.

i am most excited about the modem. i have had issues with all pixel phones from 6 and later. hopefully issues with the cellular connectivity are resolved

Skipping the Pixel 9 altogether seems like the best move for Pixel owners, aiming to get the Pixel 10 once it’s released. It’s similar to when everyone bypassed the Pixel 5 and jumped to the Pixel 6 with Tensor. Even though the Tensor 5 will be made by TSMC rather than Samsung, it will once again be kind of a first gen product, introducing some risk. If the Pixel 10 doesn't meet expectations, waiting for the Pixel 11 could be just as smart a move :D

Regarding the Tensor G4, it is based on an Exynos counterpart yes, but Google is keeping the GPU from last year (from Tensor G3) instead of the new one from the Exynos chipset, which would be significantly better...

[wrakor]

11:19 It is surprising that Google is asking for a little more, since it's still delivering midrange specs such as UFS 3.1, 128GB base storage and the chipset.

I'm in a dilemma... Currently using a Pixel 6 Pro. I like the Pixel experience (software and camera), but my phone is showing clear signs of age and might not survive another year. I want to use my phone as long as possible, so long software support and good performance are key for me. And I'd like a smaller device with 3 cameras.

- The Pixel 8 has a good value and long software support for the first time, but it's missing the camera and it's not really an upgrade over my current Pixel 6 Pro in terms of performance/features.
- The Pixel 9 Pro ticks basically all the boxes but it's really expensive imho. A price that I'd only be willing to pay if performance and especially efficiency/battery life are greatly improved.
- Waiting for the Pixel 10 Pro could require me to get a cheap transition phone if my current device breaks earlier. And it's another first gen product – I have been through this already.
- All this combined makes me wonder if I might just be better off with giving e. g. Samsung a chance, maybe a refurbished Galaxy S23 or S24

we can't wait for the new pixel line up

[petouser]

128 GB base models with heavily overpriced storage upgrades is a no-go and for me a reason to choose a different manufacturer.

[AlexJ]

How about battery size and charging speed?

[dencilvargas]

I'm happy with my Pixel 8 pro, just need ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

[hirengandhi]

I'm happy with my pixel 8 will see about upgrading later around pixel 10 or 11 depending on features and soc.

[MisterWhatWhat]

I'm growing tired of Apple and Samsung (longtime user of both) so it'll be interesting to see what the Pixel 9 officially brings to the table.

[JosephMass]

Definitely waiting for the 9 that phone looks amazing!

[Bread_n_Butter.]

I absolutely love my pixel 8 pro. Only issue is battery life. If I can get that figured out, I will likely wait for the pixel 10 to upgrade. I don't see a reason to upgrade aside from battery concerns for just one generation unless it's to grab the fold, which I'm considering for bigger screen options for reading so I don't have to purchase a tablet. But I may just end up getting the tablet for now. Very likely gonna jump on that Pixel watch 3 XL option though!!

I love the Samsung watches, but there's just something about the simple, clean look of the pixel watch that has grown on me and I find myself wearing it more the last couple of weeks. I just HATE not having a larger size option. z
