The camera bar is clearly inspired by Pixel Fold with a floating pill design that has very minimal bezels on left hand side. Three cameras are placed side-by-side and covered by oblong piece glass.
Accuracy
The Pixel 9 Pro features flat edges that ever so slightly curve into the display and rear panel. This is in stark contrast to the curved rail on the Pixel 6-8 Pro.
There are two circular cutouts next to the camera system, one for flash and other looks like temperature sensor.
Pixel 9 Pro will have a 6.5 inch display that is notably smaller than Pixel 8 Pro's despite dimensions being relatively unchanged from last year in what could be screen size error.
The body of the phone is .3 mm thinner compared to Pixel 8 Pro.
Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author claims that the Pixel 9 Pro features flat edges that curve into the display and rear panel. However, this is not entirely accurate as there are slight curves on both sides of each edge. Secondly, while it is stated that Google has moved the SIM card tray to the bottom edge to the right of USB-C port, in fact it's located just above it. Thirdly, although the author claims that there are two circular cutouts next to camera system which looks like a temperature sensor and flash respectively but no information about these sensors is provided.

Bias
(75%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes those who hold certain beliefs about the Pixel 9 Pro's design, saying 'the flat edge is in stark contrast to the curved rail on the Pixel 6-8 Pro'. This implies that there is something inherently wrong with having a curved rail and suggests that only one way of designing a phone is correct. Additionally, when discussing the camera bar, the author uses language like 'inspired by' which implies that Google has copied someone else's design without giving them credit. The use of phrases such as 'notably smaller than', also suggest an inherent value judgement on what size screen is better.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that leakers have already obtained early images of the Pixel 9 despite it only being out for a few months. This is misleading as there are no indications in the article that these renders are official or even accurate representations of what will be released later this year. Secondly, the author uses selective reporting by focusing on two major design changes (flat edges and redesigned rear camera bar) while ignoring other aspects such as screen size and placement of buttons/SIM card. This is misleading as it gives a false impression that these are the only significant differences between Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro, when in fact there may be more changes to look forward to. Lastly, the author uses emotional manipulation by stating that Google needs a sharper redesign to stand out against its competitors (Samsung Galaxy S24 and iPhone 16), which is not necessarily true or relevant.

Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing a reliable leaker as their source for the information presented in the article. Additionally, there is inflammatory rhetoric used when describing the design changes of the Pixel 9 Pro as 'completely flat edges framing' and 'bulging oval-shaped island'. The author also uses dichotomous depiction by stating that Google may have redesigned the rear camera bar, implying a stark contrast between previous designs. There is no evidence presented in the article to support these claims.
The renders show what appears to be Google's Pixel 9 Pro flagship with completely flat edges framing the phone and giving off iPhone vibes.
Bias
(75%)
The article contains a few examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes the leakers by referring to them as 'reliable' and 'early'. This is an example of ideological bias where the author presents their own opinion on what is good or bad without providing evidence. Additionally, there are two instances where the article compares Google's design choices with those of Apple (iPhone vibes and Pixel Fold). These comparisons could be seen as a form of religious bias as they rely heavily on personal preferences rather than objective analysis.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that the Pixel 9 Pro has already leaked when it hasn't even been launched yet.

Thirdly, the article states that the Pixel 9 Pro has flat sides and an alleged 6.5-inch display but does not provide any evidence to support these claims.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Google has leaned heavily on the camera bar design for past generations of Pixel phones when in fact they have made minor changes like incorporating more metal around the camera sensors or sculpting the cutouts to make them look more like a search bar. This contradicts their own statement and shows that they are not as committed to this design language as they claim. Secondly, the author states that Google's controversial temperature sensor is expected to make a comeback with the Pixel 9 Pro but does not provide any evidence or context for why it was removed in the first place. This creates an impression of bias and lack of objectivity on behalf of the author. Lastly, when discussing the screen size, the author states that they are skeptical about a claim made by MySmartPrice but then proceeds to quote this information as fact without providing any evidence or context for their own doubts.
Google's controversial temperature sensor is expected to make a comeback with the Pixel 9 Pro.
The camera bar has been redesigned and the sides of the phone's frame are now flat. The latter appears to be an early design trend for Android brands in 2024, as they look to replicate Apple's success with recent iPhones that sport the same flat look.
Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the temperature sensor is expected to make a comeback without providing any evidence or reasoning for this claim. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma by presenting only two options: either use Google's current design language or change it completely, ignoring other possibilities. Furthermore, the article contains inflammatory rhetoric when describing some of the features as
