The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL will not be officially unveiled until next Tuesday. Nonetheless, a reliable leaker has got their hands on pre-release shots of the device, as well as a few new specifications that point to handy upgrades over the current Pixel 8 Pro.

The launch of Google's next flagships is fast approaching. While the company itself has gone a little quiet in the last few weeks after teasing Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Fold (curr. $1,249.99 on Amazon) successors, established leakers continue to share more details ahead of next Tuesday's Made by Google event.

For example, @MysteryLupin has shared more photos of the Pixel 9 Pro XL, the largest non-foldable option in the Pixel 9 series. Having already published countless render images of the device and its peers, the leaker has now switched to leaking photos of the Pixel 9 Pro XL actually in use, which we have embedded below.

Not only that, but the same X (formerly Twitter) account has outlined more specifications, some of which contradict earlier reports. Specifically, @MysteryLupin alleges that Google has actually installed a 6.8-inch OLED display and not a 6.73-inch equivalent that has been mentioned previously. Moreover, the leaker asserts that this panel outputs natively at 2,992 x 1,344 pixels with 3,000 nits peak brightness, along with a presumed 120 Hz refresh rate.

On top of that, @MysteryLupin believes that Google has protected the Pixel 9 Pro XL's display with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 glass. Furthermore, the leaker reiterates earlier expectations, such as the inclusion of 16 GB of RAM, Tensor G4 and Titan M2 chipsets, plus the following camera hardware:

  • Primary: 50 MP (f/1.68)
  • Ultra-wide-angle: 48 MP (f/2.8) (123-degree FoV)
  • Telephoto: 48 MP (f/2.8) (5x optical)
  • Selfie: 42 MP (f/2.2)
