Pixel 9 colors look a lot less washed out than the Pixel 9 Pro in new renders

Summary

• New Pixel 9 Pro renders reveal four vibrant colors for the device: Rose, Obsidian, Hazel, and Porcelain.
• Base Pixel 9 pricing leaks suggest a price hike, starting at €899 for 128GB and €999 for 256GB models.
• Expect AI technology at the core of the Pixel 9, with a free year of Gemini Advanced, and upgrades in the camera department.

Google’s Pixel 9 series is set to arrive next month, and while we know that Google is playing it safe with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s same-old colorways, that might not be the case with the Pixel 9.

We’ve seen leaked Pixel 9 Pro renders, which suggest that Google intends to offer one out-of-the-box color for the variant: Rose/pink, along with the same old Obsidian, Porcelain, and Hazel colorways.

The base Pixel 9 might take this a step further with two exciting colorways that pop.

New base Pixel 9 renders shared by AndroidHeadlines, via OnLeaks, suggest that the device will be available in four colorways, with Google repeating Obsidian and Hazel, alongside a green and ‘Rose’ color option.

The Rose colorway, also seen in leaked Pixel 9 Pro renders, appears to be punchier, less washed out, or if you may, less pale on the Pixel 9, though that could just be the renders playing a trick on us. You can check out the renders below and decide for yourself.

What we know about the Pixel 9

A lot has leaked about the base Pixel 9, and one of the primary off-putting aspects is its price. The device is expected to start at €899 (roughly $976 USD) for the 128GB model, while the 256GB model is expected to cost €999 (roughly $1,085 USD). According to the euro pricing leak, the base device will receive a €100 ($108 USD) price hike while the 256GB model will be €140 ($150 USD) costlier.

We also know that AI will be at the heart of the device, and the series overall, with the device reported to ship with a year of free Gemini Advanced. It is currently unclear if Google might release some on-device AI features that are locked to Gemini Advanced, forcing users to purchase the advanced model once the free subscription runs out.

Elsewhere, we’re expecting some upgrades in Pixel 9’s camera department. The flagship is reported to sport an updated ultrawide Sony IMX858 sensor, as seen on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, while the rear primary and the front-facing shooters on the Pixel 9 are expected to remain unchanged, barring the selfie shooter gaining autofocus capabilities.

While the leaked renders look legit, and it is likely that Google will release the base Pixel 9 in the colorways shown above, we still recommend taking them with a grain of salt.
