Pixel 9 leaked in shocking pink color ahead of August 13 launch

Google will launch the Pixel 9 series on August 13, 2024, marking its first August event, a month before the iPhone 16 launch. A tipster has revealed a bold, hot pink Pixel 9, a striking departure from Google’s usual mint and light blue colors. This vibrant new variant adds a unique touch to the lineup, promising to attract a lot of attention. Google’s decision to introduce such a bold color option signals a shift towards bolder design choices, making the launch of the Pixel 9 series even more exciting for consumers and tech enthusiasts alike.

X user Hani Mohamed Bioud shared the first hands-on images of the Pixel 9 in its new pink color, with thanks to Brandon Lee on X for the discovery. He claimed that the device was found in Algeria. While Bioud couldn’t spot the Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro XL, or any other color variants, the pink Pixel 9 was enough to generate a lot of buzz.

While X/Twitter’s video compression doesn’t quite capture the color’s vibrancy, it does offer a glimpse of Google’s bold new design choice. A departure from its usual muted hues, Google’s decision to go pink could well appeal to the average consumer looking for something fresh and vibrant. And if these rumors are true, this would be the first time Google has experimented with such bold colors for its flagship series.

The video also highlights the prominent camera bar, which extends noticeably across the back of the device. The Pixel 9’s iPhone-like square frame has significantly curved corners, promising a more comfortable grip compared to the sharper edges of competitors like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The company has announced the launch, which is scheduled for August 13. However, Google has not disclosed the number of devices included in the Pixel 9 series. Reports suggest that the timing is strategic, positioning the launch a month before Apple’s planned iPhone 16 unveiling in September. The Made by Google keynote will begin at 10 a.m. PT and will be streamed live on YouTube. According to the event invite, Google will showcase the best of its AI, Android, and Pixel devices. We’re expecting the launch of the new Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, and rumors suggest that a new variant of the Pixel Pro and a Pixel Fold, rebranded as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, could also be introduced. The Pixel 9 series is expected to bring major improvements in terms of design, performance, and features.
