Amid the swirling rumors around Google’s future smartphone launches, recent leaks from the case maker Thinborne have added more fuel to the fire about the anticipated Pixel 9 series. This October, Google is expected to unveil not two, but potentially four new devices, intensifying the excitement among tech enthusiasts across Canada and beyond. Thinborne, an already well-regarded name in the smartphone accessories market, has preemptively listed casings for what are purportedly the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel Fold 2 on their website.
While the cases themselves don’t unveil any groundbreaking features, they corroborate previously circulated rumors about the design changes in the upcoming Google devices. For instance, the Pixel 9 is expected to flaunt a revamped camera visor, opting for flat edges over the curved sides seen in its predecessors. Such a design alteration not only distinguishes the new model aesthetically but might also suggest functional enhancements in the camera’s capabilities. Likewise, the anticipated Pixel Fold 2 is hinted at undergoing significant changes in its camera setup, indicating a more prominent camera bump.
Speculation about Google’s naming conventions for these devices has also been a topic of intrigue. Despite earlier rumors suggesting the foldable device might be named the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Thinborne’s listings refer to it as the Pixel Fold 2. This discrepancy highlights the uncertain nature of leaks and rumors, though it also suggests the diversity in Google’s forthcoming product lineup.
As we edge closer to the Google I/O conference next week, expectations are mounting about potential teasers or announcements related to the Pixel 9 series. However, if Google’s past launch patterns are anything to go by, a full unveiling of the Pixel 9 series, along with the Pixel Fold 2, is more likely to occur in October.
This latest round of leaks from Thinborne adds to the anticipation for what Google has in store for its next generation of smartphones. Canadians, along with the global community of Android aficionados, are keenly waiting to see how Google will innovate in the fiercely competitive smartphone market. With October just around the corner, all eyes will be on Google to see if the rumors and leaks pan out as expected.
