Google Pixel 9 Pro XL leak fills in the last missing spec pieces
The Google Pixel 9 series has leaked perhaps more than any other smartphone line this year, so much so that we’re pretty confident we know almost every detail of what Google will reveal on August 13. There were a few minor spec gaps in what we’d heard about the Pixel 9 Pro XL, but those too have now been filled in.
Post on X, leaker @MysteryLupin Google Inc. shared a fairly detailed specs list for the phone. They claim that the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL will feature a Tensor G4 chipset, a Titan M2 security coprocessor, 16GB of RAM, between 128GB and 1TB of storage, and a 6.8-inch, 2992 x 1344 OLED display with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.
They also claim to be protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, run Android 14 (Android 15 is coming), and have a 50MP f/1.68 main camera, a 48MP f/1.7 ultra-wide camera (with a 123-degree field of view), and a 48MP f/2.8 telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom. The Pixel 9 Pro XL also apparently has a 42MP f/2.2 selfie camera.

Finally, @MysteryLupin claims pricing will start at $1,099. That’s lower than a previous Pixel 9 Pro XL price leak which suggested a $1,199 price, but that leak didn’t mention a 128GB model – instead, a 256GB version would apparently cost you that much, so it’s possible both leaks are right. Based on Google’s previous pricing, a $1,099 price could convert to £1,099 / AU$1,899 in other regions.
Aside from the price, we’ve heard most of this before, but here’s a bit more information, including a mention of the selfie camera specs and the exact screen resolution. That said, as always we’d take this with a grain of salt – though @MysteryLupin has rightly leaked things in the past.
Hands-on photos of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL
They’ve got more than just specs, as actual photos of the Google Pixel 9 Pro and one photo of the Pixel 9 Pro XL have also leaked.
However, these don’t really show us anything that we haven’t already seen in previous leaks and even teasers from Google itself. The main takeaway is that these phones have a new, less rounded design, with a redesigned camera block.
With Google set to unveil the Pixel 9 line on August 13, we’ll soon know exactly how accurate this all is. TechRadar will be covering the launch in full, so check back here for all the news and impressions.
