Google Pixel 9 Pro XL may launch with four colors; here’s what they look like

Highlights

• Pixel 9 Pro XL to offer four color variants: Obsidian, Porcelain, Rose, and Hazel.
• Matte camera bar finish introduced to address scratching issues.
• Color options feature muted tones with polished metal frames.
• Pixel 9 Pro XL set to be unveiled on August 13.

Recent leaks have provided a detailed look at the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, revealing that the device may break tradition by offering four color variants at launch instead of the usual three.

Color Options and Design Changes

According to images published by Android Headlines, the Pixel 9 Pro XL will be available in:

• Obsidian
• Porcelain
• Rose
• Hazel

All four colors feature muted tones on both the back glass and the polished metal frame.

Notably, “Obsidian” and “Porcelain” remain largely unchanged from previous models, except for the addition of striking colors to the frames.

The “Rose” and “Hazel” options, while previously used on the base Pixel 8, appear more saturated in this iteration.

A significant design change is the shift from a glossy camera bar finish to a matte finish, potentially addressing the scratching issues that have plagued the “Pro” series since the Pixel 7 Pro.

Display and Other Variants

The leaked images also offer a clearer view of the display bezels, which appear similar to those on the Pixel 8 Pro.

As for other Pixel 9 variants:

• The base Pixel 9 may come in additional colors, including a more vibrant pink.
• The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is expected to be available only in “Obsidian” and “Porcelain.”

This expansion to four colors for the flagship model marks a departure from Google’s previous strategy.

While the Pixel A-Series has offered four colors since the Pixel 7a (with one being a Google Store exclusive), the flagship models have typically stuck to three colors at launch, occasionally adding a fourth option later.

Google is scheduled to officially unveil the Pixel 9 series on August 13, where all details about the new lineup will be confirmed.
