Google has finally unveiled the details of the much-awaited Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel 9 Pro.

Rumors and Leaks
Barring this information, Google did not spill out any other information about the upcoming smartphones. However, there are several rumors and leaks that are making the rounds online. The official teaser shows a stunning design with dual-pill-shaped camera cutouts. The cameras are housed on a rectangular island in the top-left corner of the rear panel. Although the teaser doesn't reveal the camera on the inner screen, rumors indicate that the phone will feature a punch-hole camera on the left side of the screen, a design upgrade from the first fold's bezel-mounted camera, made possible by the reduced bezel size.

The back panel of the device features a small camera deco with triple rear cameras, flash, and the laser autofocus. According to reports, the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL will share a similar triple 50MP rear camera setup, but will differ in screen size and battery capacity, offering users a choice between a standard and larger model.
