Google Pixel 9 Pro release date

Google Pixel 9 Pro design
The new Pixel 9 phones are aesthetically a bit of a departure from previous models. The relatively soft and rounded design of before has been replaced by a more angular and straight-edged form that to these eyes looks more sophisticated but could have an impact on ergonomics. It also means that the new Pixels look more similar to iPhones than previous models did, which might not please all Android fans.
However, rather than switching to an iPhone-like camera cluster, Google is sticking with its camera bar concept, albeit with a new design. Rather than the bar stretching the whole width of the phone’s rear and integrating with its edges, the new camera bar is a protruding oval with crisp edges. It’s a more modern look that’s still distinctly Google – you won’t mistake the Pixel 9 Pro for a phone from any other brand.
The Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL will be available in four colours, which Google calls Porcelain (grey), Obsidian (black), Rose Quartz (pink) and Hazel (green). These colours are very subtle compared to the brighter hues being used for the standard Pixel 9. That seems a shame to us (who says a ‘pro’ phone can’t be colourful?), but it’s a pretty standard approach across the smartphone industry.
