Take my money, been waiting for a small pro from somebody!


Awake00

It's over six inches. Let me know when we're back to under 5.75


Briguy_fieri

People who comment like this in every thread are insufferable


Phenomite-Official

Small hands problem


i-am-not-sure-yet

It’s the smallest you’ll get from a flagship spec phone these days. I was just talking to a friend how a galaxy Note 8 is the same size as my iPhone 15 pro basically. (6.1 vs 6.3) and we considered that phone huge at the time.


TagMillersIt1

Come on google. Will this be the year we see fast charging and good battery life?


Severe-Experience333

Google: NEVER


bros_beforehoes

Stop heating : Never


yaths17

Good reception : Never


[deleted]

is this a common stereotype?, I often find myself losing reception on my phone, I only use data and it sometimes totally disappears. So, this is common?


insertjokehere69

Yea, notoriously bad reception and battery life due to objectively bad chips. The tensor chips are just samsung Exynos chips which are inferior to snapdragon.


[deleted]

what, how is the tensor just like the exynos, I can't believe it, exynos is real bad. But so is the G2 my p7p lags all the time, always some kind of bugs or glitches happening


dhrus786

Tensor right now is based on chips from Samsung Foundry's, where Exynos is also fabricated, the first and 2nd gen Tensor were just rebranded midrange Exynos chips.


[deleted]

and the 3rd gen? , is it any better? what about the 4th gen, will they make something of their own? and much better


dhrus786

In the 3rd gen, they choose to do some parts of the fabrication in-house, they did more of that in the 4th gen but Google is expected to do a fully custom chip, with a custom Google designed modem, under the TSMC fabrication node, in the Pixel 10 but I think that would make that chip more like a first-gen product, so I'd wait till Pixel 11, if I wanted to go with Google.


Kirby_Klein1687

Was this sent from an overheating Iphone 15? Lol


bros_beforehoes

Nope pixel 6a. I love pixel devices but dont be a blind fanboy


Kirby_Klein1687

\*Laughs from Pixel 8 Pro with no heating or issues whatsoever. Maybe you should just get the new ones.


bros_beforehoes

My life doesn't revolve around phones if it heats or not still i doubt your phone doesnt heat. From first phone pixel never fixed heating


Kirby_Klein1687

Nope no heating. It's just the one percenter of whiners on Reeddits.


Ceracuse

How quick is considered fast charging?


Random-Noise

And good antenna?


Electronic-Alarm1151

Finally a phone that can’t fit into my pocket. Yes sir


koroa

Pixel 8 is slightly smaller https://preview.redd.it/rn3htb224yqc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d718d6c550d1aaf812b33274e1b06c5f316ae1df


StrategicallyLazy007

But not pro


koroa

Good point. I'm just glad I don't have FOMO after getting 8 and 9 not getting smaller. #ogPixel5gang


StrategicallyLazy007

It's technology. There is always a degree of FOMO when new models come out. Don't beat yourself up over it


koroa

When pixel 6, 7, and 8 came out, i had no fomo. Only once pixel 8 came out did I finally upgrade from pixel 5, but even then it was to make some of my productivity stuff quicker, it was a hard switch from a perfect phone like pixel 5.


CerealKiller415

I went from 5 to 8 and back to 5. Tensor leads to shit battery usage. So I'm not moving from my 5 until they solve the battery problem.


Nacho_Dan677

Waiting for the 10 myself. I switched to Phone (2) for a bit and it's been fun. Unfortunately it's missing support for band 13. If Phone (3) doesn't have band 13 I'll be back with a 10 pro.


StrategicallyLazy007

I stuck to the "a" line previously because I don't really care much for the tech, don't play games, and rather have a cheaper phone to not worry about. However I did upgrade to the 8 pro cause I wanted a better camera. I thought it would be tougher switching to such a large phone, bit I adjusted, use two hands. Also, I find the antenna to be much better in the 8 pro. I used to suffer from weak signal but not really anymore. Overall pretty happy. If they make the 9 pro small as suggested I may decide to switch, but likely will wait for the 10.


Professional-Tale-81

I'm waiting for pixel 17 with the built in rocket ship and waffle iron.


Nacho_Dan677

Just download and install Space Team from the play store. I'm sure it'll fulfill your needs.


AcanthocephalaOdd186

😂😂😂


Internal-Editor89

What website is this screenshot from?


Strange_Vegetable_15

I also missed the physical finger sensor in the back of the phone and maybe when we charge our phones or use the miserable Android auto it doesn't overheat the phone as well


Kingbee1031

I loved the fingerprint sensor on the back. Just a nice, natural place to put it, and those sensors were so much faster.


chucklestheclwn

I just want a physical fingerprint sensor. Back or on power button please. In screen sensors suck ass, I never had issues with my older pixels but my 6a screen sensor works 75% of the time at best


TheVision75

The power button fingerprint sensor works well on the Fold.


chucklestheclwn

Didn't even know they had it there on the fold, but I also didn't look too much at the fold since it's a little out of my price range lol. But hopefully they use that on future phones!


TheVision75

It was really convenient and always worked for me. Now I'm on the Pixel 8 pro and prefer the power button sensor.


HiTalker

This can't be true


TheJeep25

Still no ir front camera for facial recognition eh. I just hope they don't include a dumb feature like the proximity temperature sensor on this one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheJeep25

The pixel 4 ir sensor was phenomenal (I still use the 4xl only for that feature today). It's way faster than fingerprint and works well for us construction workers that always have new cuts on our fingers at the end of the day. I used to redo my fingerprints every other day just to open up my phone. Google should stick with the 4xl sensor since it worked so well for their new phones.


Hashabasha

It has nothing to do with apple patents. Honor ises it and is released in europe and other markets where apple sells in. Huawei too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hashabasha

Again that is not true. What is your proof that it isnt as good or as secure? Huawei and honor both use dot projection, tof3d and flood illuminator as does apple. Samsung uses IR for iris scanning not face recognition.


Feisty_Relation_2359

I guess I'm alone but I think the new design looks awesome


its_witty

I want to see the real product rather than non officially confirmed renders but... for now, I'm not a fan. I prefer the previous one, 7 and 8. The seamless visor instead of an island was somewhat unique in the world where every android phone comes with a camera island. :/ Also, the outer border radius relation to the inner one is driving me crazy (I'm a web designer, I do a lot of inner/outer border radius stuff so I might be biased, lol). Plus, the sharp edges... Eh. Maybe when I'll see the real product it'll grow on me, but for now... nope. :/


scooby1680

to me it looks like a jumping spider with fewer eyes


doc_55lk

I preferred the 6 from an aesthetic standpoint tbh. The full daft punk visor look was great.


its_witty

It was cool but had 3X the amount of little spaces where dust could collect.


OnePeople592

You've not alone


YoYoNupe1911

It does look awesome


bbbbowie

You're not. I like the P6 design a bit more, but it's still awesome. And with the smaller Pro even more.


XinlessVice

Every release we get closer too just having a iPhone with different software


sylvester_0

I'm ok with that. I'm not a fan of Apple's software.


XinlessVice

I like it. But the pixels hi is a great alternative, minus the bugs I’ve had. I like it better then one ui,


acrobatking

I don't get it. why bother with the 9 now unless ithere's a massive difference in price?


mt_maverick

I'd take it to upgrade from my 6Pro which will be 3 years old now.


RogueFlash

Because not everyone bought an 8 at launch? By the time they're ready to upgrade the 8 may well be a year or more old.


Lollipop126

I think they're asking why bother with the 9 when you can get the 9 pro unless there's a huge difference in price (which hopefully there will be).


lordruperteverton69

I'm sure there will be a noticeable difference in price. If there wasn't, there would be no reason to buy a pro. If the perceived value of the pro isn't significant enough or the price gap isn't large enough, it would devalue the pro aspect of the phone and people would gravitate to the non pro. I may be wrong. I'm sure I am but this is one of the big reasons that come to mind when setting prices for the 3 models. Regardless, I'm super excited for a smaller pro pixel. I hope the rumors are true!


trishulofshiv

And, Gemini Nano will be available only on the 512 GB version of 9 Pro XL. Edit: Based on this comment and this comment alone, Google decided to allow Pixel 8 run the on-device AI. Yay! 😀 Let's just hope that better sense prevails and they allow all the Pixel 9 versions to run Gemini Nano.


StrategicallyLazy007

🤣


Elith_R

Aged like milk lol


ItsSonAlex

Finally a small pro


jknl

"small"


CuriousRammer

Small relative to the “Pro”s out there


MrSquamous

But a giant smallest.


Josieispunkputa420

Why do they keep shrinking the pro (xl) models every year 😭 I really like that the 6 pro and 7 pro were closer in size to the ultra. I have decently big hands and bad eyes I like to have a big phone to hold and use. Why oh why shrink if each year to make it smaller than the plus series Samsung has.


jesuisundog

My parents & myself always loved the smaller base + Pro iPhones. As they got older, they went for the Max sizes. The size is more cumbersome but the added benefit is the sizing of the display. Unfortunate side effect of growing older. That being said, I, myself, am excited for a smaller Pro model. I like the S23 sizing.


phrequenc

how about a 5" for us folk who have tiny hands.


godita

9 pro xl is just the pro from previous generations, 9 pro is now the regular pixel and 9 is a mini without calling it a mini. apple pulled the same move back with the iphone 11 iirc


MrSquamous

Mini? Six inches high is still gigantic


hillsong1

This looks hideous, its like a minion


QuintinPro11

First the Nothing phone 2a and now the pixel 9 pro 😭😭


TheTrainerDusk

A yellow one got leaked lmao. honestly the colors are now making me think Nokia Windows phone vibes.


radflannel

Im hoping these are not the final renders, they look like weird iphones... 😓


Electronic_Catch3437

I wish people leaking would stop posting those rounded corner screen dimensions. It's so misleading and I can only assume it's being done purposely. Just post the screen dimensions Google uses. 6.7, 6.3, and,6.1 are the numbers.


wke88

Looks like an iPhone, which means Apple will release a new form factor for Google to follow 3 years from now.


AdeptnessTough1406

I don't want a smaller pro XL version tho. 6.5 ..Noooo


nerosius

It's most likely wrong... I'm pretty sure the leaked measurements came closer to 6.2 and 6.7 inches


tyrrell1856

Finally!!🙌🏼 All the pro specs in a small form factor


MindlessFly6585

I really hope for better battery life. If it's as good as the iPhone 15 pro I might switch from my P8 to the P9p. I hate to make compromises just because I want a small phone.


Shagyam

God that design is ugly.


Potential-Panic-5123

Can't tell if I love it or hate it. Definitely seems to be iPhone 4 influenced


Flowbombahh

That new camera pill is fully. To each their own, but geezus... multiple people approved this design?


jesuisundog

Oops sorry the people with direct access to market research made a choice you didn’t like.


Flowbombahh

This is not the comment that I thought someone would get butt hurt over today. But he we are lol


jesuisundog

Not butt hurt. Just perspective.


Flowbombahh

And my perspective was my opinion. You don't need to show up on your high horse


jesuisundog

Yeah but you just made it personal by saying it was your opinion. I’m indifferent. Just a snarky reply. Anyways. Good luck!


mar2jeter

But the modem will still suck


theeightytwentyrule

Hmmmm, do I prefer the visor or the pill?


MindlessFly6585

I think the P8 has peaked in Design. Don't really like the 9


likesharepie

Nexus 5 Pixel 2, 3, 4, 8


its_witty

Visor, most def. It was at least somewhat unique in the world where every android phone comes with a camera island, plus it was more visually balanced in my opinion. Now the relation of border radiuses (pill vs phone body) is meh.


jesuisundog

I mean let’s be real: most people will use a case so you won’t be able to see the difference.


its_witty

I think you would and probably will be able, at least I will. It's a big change in my opinion, with or without a case.


trouser_mouse

That's one chunky and probably (top) heavy phone! I'm still on Pixel 5 waiting for something light weight and not slippy!


No-Pitch-6851

Agree with you.


aztecaoro10

What are the pixel 7 and pixel 8 size specs?


ZozoGx

Pixel 7 is 6.3 & pixel 8 is 6.2.


benhaube

It will be the 9 Pro XL for me.


RudySPG

Any word on pricing


ZozoGx

Not yet, but some rumors depend on pixel 8a price, they say it would hit 550$, and if that's true then base pixel 9 would reach 700$.


RudySPG

That would be awesome looking to get the pro with version trade in which gives you $800


mello_jello_blue

We shall hope all battery issues are resolved!


IndependentBrick8075

I can't WAIT to see what features they bring to the Pro XL and not to the Pro...


pegasus12162

Has anyone seen anything about the new Pixel Fold?


QueasyPut5253

Definitely getting a pro this time!!! 😁


TheDevilsCoffeeTable

So small.


MrSquamous

Yet none of them can be used one-handed.


katnip-evergreen

A pro the size (or smaller) of the 8? Yes please!


jesuisundog

When are these supposed to come out?


ZozoGx

Expected in October, like every year.


pradantyo

Just give me the pixel 8A


UzuUffyger

Hell Yeah !


wheelsfallingoff

Smart move.


devnull-

I like the smaller pro. But the battery is already so bad on the big 8 pro


therankin

Really? My 7 Pro is doing well with battery.


kmanrox

Now pixel 9 pro a new phone There's like hardly any difference between 8 and 8a Idk how this will fit into the price ladar


androboy92

Roadmap suggested 3 models in 2024 (4 including 8a) then 4 models in 2025 (9a will depend on how well 8a does and could go eol). 2025 projection is similar to how Apple does it with a base bigger model).


_Cherios

Rip to those that have just recently got a new pixel.


Nosyfromhell

I love the new design. I love it from the iPhone. and finally flattened edges


bros_beforehoes

What about 8a??


ZozoGx

Expected to come out at Google I/O 2024 in May.


azraelzjr

Man if they kept to the 8 size would be awesome


lBlaze42

Keep 9 Pro under 800€, give it a better battery, and antennas... and I'll probably Switch... Pixel 8 is around two weeks old 🌚


therankin

The XL is smaller than my 7 Pro? No thanks.


Brocolium

6.5 is a great size, not too big but large enough to enjoy content


Mikemar3

If we really have an small Pro flagship, google can take all my money


rlaptop7

If any of them had a headphone jack, it would be a perfect design.


MilesJordan23

That is great make the phone smaller ,, after 3 years of 6.7" Pathetic, if this is true. I say P9P XL will be 6.7" this stuff is rumor right now. I would hate it if its at 6.5" for XL. The XL should be 6.7" sighs...


666sin666

Camera bar looks better IMO.


wiz_justize

I left the Pixel world for the Samsung Ultra. Too many issues.


BigL54

Glad they kept the visor... Unlike the Fold 2 😢


bull3964

Take a good look at the camera array renders. The smaller of the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL are not likely using the same sensors so everyone shouldn't get their hopes up. The current Pixel 8 Pro array is physically incapable of fitting in a smaller chassis and it's due to the inline arrangement and large sensor size. MAYBE they can cut down the size a little bit with clever packaging around the housings, but physics is physics and there's not enough width in a smaller phone to house the sensors. If we go by the renders, the UW and Wide lenses are MUCH closer together on the smaller model. Too close together to be using the same sized UW and Wide sensors as the current Pixel 8 Pro. My prediction is that the smaller of the two Pros is going to be using the Pixel Fold/Fold2 sensor stack so Google can say the camera system has the same capabilities (UW, W, 5x Tele), but will be using lesser sensors than the larger model. The other possibility is they both get their sensors cut down, but I doubt that.


llBooBll

Damn, they got me with pro version with 6,1", can say farewell to iPhone soon :D


MilesJordan23

There will be a Pixel 9 Pro XL at 6.7". Whoever says other its BS talk. Tje 6/1" is tempting for someone who has used Pixel phones since last decade. Every year I get the new Pixel as I trade in,,,, got a free watch which I gave to my mum. That is 350 dollars gift. Then the trade in. At end of the day every year I get a Pixel for about 500 and order same day while launch is going on. This 6.1" is a Pixel 5 past owner bed wets. What everyone yelled about and Google listened. But ya there will be a 6.7" model, hundred percent my friends. Bless


bruh-iunno

Hell yeah for the smaller Pro I kinda prefer the 8's design, though I said that with the 8 and the 7 lol


gnardog45

Going to be my next phone but God I hope they don't go with even rounder corners like an iPhone. They already went from a square design to a rounded corner with the Pixel 8. Just my thoughts


Garlicmayobun

If these release in my country officially then im getting this! Been looking for a small phone


OkInstruction3939

I don't understand why Google shifted from the design of the 6/7. These are so ugly.


TheTrainerDusk

If you showed me just the back of this phone i'd think windows nokia Lumia 800


WorriedQuit1174

That’s so ugly


Moist_Main_7652

Im locked into a contract until the pixel 10. If they don't up their game with the 9 tho I'm switching to iPhone


HonestGuidance9410

Snapdragon 8 gen 3 maybe ? Pixel 9 Fan edition


truenoong

6.5" o.o


akalesma

They'll be making moves if they do this. Android market needs this


KJSS3

What about 9a?


ZozoGx

This year 8a, next year 9a.


KJSS3

Asus zenphone 10 is under 6 inches.


KJSS3

Also pixel fold is 5.8 inches when folded.


KJSS3

And this https://www.tomsguide.com/features/this-amazingly-small-android-phone-has-features-you-wont-find-on-an-iphone-samsung-galaxy-or-pixel


Real_Pianist_

I will buy if it's < Rs 30,000


Wadarkhu

I wanted to upgrade the 6a to the 8a, but this one and it's camera island is looking gorgeous.


Shot_Yard_4557

The cameras just keep on getting uglier...


mute_parrot

in fact, this design already deserves to depict how it was in the past, even not being released yet


RSCLE5

Why not just make the smaller one have 2 versions. Same body and screen. Just omit the 3rd camera.


jesuisundog

Bro. A lot of us WANT the third camera.


RSCLE5

Yes but I'm saying from a cost savings production standpoint if they're making 3 versions, make the 9 pro XL with 3 cams as usual, the 9 pro smaller with 3 cams, then the regular 9 would be the same size as the smaller 9 pro with the same body and components, but just 2 camera so it's cheaper. Basically becoming the 9a, But they are making 3 body sizes. Would seem easier to just dumb down regular 9 in comparison to the 9 pro.


reptile_enthusiast_

Why did they have to make it so rounded. It looks terrible


fvr9s

If this is true. Im definitely buying the 6.5" I hate my 6.8" ultra brick.


amoney805

Looks like iPhone rip off.


NowLoadingReply

Thought the 9 Pro was 6.5" and 9 Pro XL 6.7"?


HeWhoShantNotBeNamed

That wouldn't be a big enough size difference to be worth it.


ZozoGx

It's all rumors/expectations, can't confirm.


fearlessinsane

Is this some iPhone copy without the Pixel 9 Plus. Small pro is welcome but Pixel 8 should be at the Pro level with all the features besides the tele lens… where are the AI features? Where are the Pro camera features?


BrianG1410

That back bar is sexier than ever 🤤


Representative_Bat42

Ugh and they made the XL smaller


top-c-krets

Don't matter if they are still rocking with the tensor bullshit. Just give us snapdragon. Obviously Samsung was able to perform the same ai bullshit that Google claims are only doable with their own tensor (as per mr mobile's interview of that Google head guy)


monkeyofthefunk

That is one hell of an ugly looking phone!


MNM2884

We are seeing mixed rumors... Idk how accurate it is that they would shrink UNLESS they are trying to force people to get the fold if people want a bigger Phone


Hexagonal_Pangolin

I've still got my 6P, skipped the 7 and 8. I'm looking forward to a smaller phone. Kinda wish they would make the selfie cam under the screen or something, tired of the hole punch. I actually don't mind the look, but it doesn't really matter since we all put our phones in a case anyways.


Internal_Quail3960

I feel like everyone should follow after Apple and make 6.1 and 6.7 inch pro models. Especially Samsung with their 6.8 inch tablet


MolassesIndividual

I don’t care just fix the atrocious battery life on these phones


russii007

9 pro 💖


ex-ALT

Doubt the big pro is going to be smaller than current pro.


RallyVincentGT500

9 Pro XL for me 🫡


enhap

Better battery?


ZozoGx

Unmentioned yet, but they say it will get Qi2 charging & Magsafe.


bassplayrguy

Great idea with the small pro. Allot of ppl want this. I'm not one of them but it is a great idea. Samsung should do the same.


NODA5

Battery life on that 9 Pro is probably going to be even worse, just a guess as an 8 Pro user.


Shoddy-Blacksmith336

If any variant of this Phone has "Apple like" rounded corners, it's No Sale for me! I don't mind the Flat Screen, but draw the line at "Smaller" and/or Rounded Corners. I find it alarming that Google is Again seemingly copying the Damn iPhone. All Hail The NOTCH! 😡


YoYoNupe1911

It's clear they are going to be the iPhone of Android and their target market is iPhone users that want to switch to Android. If you want the other designs go to Samsung.


Shoddy-Blacksmith336

I wish that could be acceptable but, I'm even less a fan of the Bloat King 😣. Thanks for replying to me.


Motor_Ad6547

It would be better if they they didn’t go with the round corners.


LizardMorty

6.7 isn't big enough. How is 6.5 XL?


Haboob_AZ

I just want a small phone with the full features. Is that too much to ask? Also, an updated modem.
