  • A leaked set of renderings seemingly spills what Google has planned for the Pixel 9 Pro.
  • The images continue to show a flat display, but the 9 Pro may offer a smaller 6.5-inch display alongside a thicker design change for its rear camera shelf.
  • More details on its specifications are unknown, however, the device will supposedly sport a periscope telephoto lens with its primary and telephoto lenses.

I am sick and tired of phones with glass back-panels. It's fragile, heavy and has no practical advantage. Give me a clip-on plastic backside with a removable battery. Oh, and a headphone jack please !

"bold redesign", looks the same as the last 10 years of smartphone.

in 100 years all smartphones will look exactly the same as now, except they'll all have the hapsburg jaw

Tbh I praise functionality over looks. If Google puts out a phone with expandable storage, headphone jack, dedicated fingerprint reader, but looks shit, I would buy that in a second. No matter how much they redesign it or add more cameras, it will just be like the last 4 phones they put out. This is just my take, others might just buy Pixels because they look interesting.
