Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL: Size Up and Compare - A Look at the Design, Features, and Price of Google's New Smartphones

In recent developments, leaks of the upcoming Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL have surfaced online, providing a sneak peek into the design and features of these highly anticipated devices. The comparison between these two phones and their predecessors, as well as Apple's iPhone 14 Pro Max, has sparked much interest among tech enthusiasts.

According to various sources, both the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL are larger in size compared to their previous models. The design changes include moving towards flat edges after the previous roundness in Google Pixel designs. This shift is evident when comparing the new phones with Apple's iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The Pixel 9 features a two-camera setup, while its larger counterpart, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, boasts a three-camera setup. The latter also has glossy sides and a matte black backing. Google's new AI feature allows users to save and search through screenshots in the new Pixel lineup.

Moreover, rumors suggest that the Pixel 9 Pro XL may come with a faster and more accurate ultrasonic fingerprint sensor instead of an under-display one. This upgrade could potentially address some of the issues users have encountered when unlocking their phones using the previous under-display sensors.

The exact pricing details for these new devices are yet to be revealed, but it is known that there will be an entry-level model and a higher tier version for both the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The base price for the Pixel 9 is reportedly €899, while the cost of the higher tier model remains undisclosed. For the Pixel 9 Pro XL, it is rumored that its base model will cost €1,099.

Google's hardware event where they are expected to unveil these new devices is scheduled for August 13th. With more leaks and information likely to surface in the coming weeks, tech enthusiasts eagerly await the official reveal of these innovative smartphones.

  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author makes several statements based on leaked information and rumors. While some of these statements may be true, they are not verifiable facts and therefore do not constitute logical fallacies. The author also provides context and analysis, which is a valid journalistic practice as long as it is clearly distinguished from assertions of fact. However, the author does use inflammatory rhetoric by stating 'Given Google’s track record, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more leaks in the weeks leading up to the event.' This statement implies that Google has a history of leaking information before events and is therefore likely to do so again. While this may be true, it is an unfounded assumption and an appeal to authority based on past events. The score is reduced due to this fallacy.

    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states 'French news site Dealabs Magzine has published details on the pricing of Google’s upcoming smartphones.' This statement implies that the information from Dealabs Magzine is trustworthy and accurate without providing any evidence or reasoning as to why this is so. However, since there are no other fallacies found in the article and only one minor appeal to authority fallacy, the score remains high.
