Highlights Leaked renders show Pixel 9 and Pixel Fold 2 design with cases Pixel Fold 2 features taller outer screen and refined design Pixel 9 series showcases new oval-shaped camera module Four models expected in the Pixel 9 series, breaking previous trends With expectation building over Google's Pixel line-up, most eyes are set on the Pixel 9 series and, more noticeably, the Pixel Fold 2. Though the design of the successor to the Pixel 8 series was already shown through 5K renders, amongst other leaks. Now a new leak by a case manufacturer shows us how the Pixel 9 and Pixel Fold 2 would look like when covered in cases. Leaked Case Renders: Pixel Fold 2 Design clues from case renderings These images got leaked through accessory maker Thinborne and were picked up by ITHome. From the leak, it seems that Thinborne will make at least one case type for both these models. The cases are apparently made from tough 600D Aramid Fibre that supports MagSafe. Aramid Fibre is commonly used in the aerospace industry and is reportedly five times lighter and stronger than steel. Expected to feature flat edges similar to the latest iPhones while retaining the rounded corners from the Pixel 8 series Coming back to the Pixel Fold 2, the phone seems to retain a similar design to its predecessor but with a slightly refined form factor. The outside screen now looks a little taller and thinner than the one on the original Pixel Fold and features a centrally-placed punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter. The inner folding screen is also unlikely to have huge bezels and instead have a punch hole for the camera. The rear will have a big square-camera module that will house triple cameras and an LED flash. Pixel 9 Design Reveal The upcoming Google Pixel 9 series will consist of three distinct models Coming straight to the Pixel 9 series, not much seems to have changed upfront with the design except for some adjustments with the camera module. The rear houses an oval-shaped camera module with a marginally rearranged layout of the camera sensors. An LED flash is also visible. The camera module appears to be made of metal and rests on top of a glass back panel. Additionally, the bundled screen protector also hints at slim bezels for the Pixel 9 series. Interestingly, the leak seems to confirm earlier rumours about multiple variants in the Pixel 9 series. The rumoured design modifications on the next Pixel Fold are also reflected in the renders provided by Thinborne. Recently leaked live images showed four models of handsets: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 XL, and Pixel 9 XL Pro. This will be a sea change if it happens, as till date, Google has largely followed the two-model approach with its Pixel and Pixel Pro variants since the time of the Pixel 6. A hardware event by Google later this year, probably around October, should still see the company unveil many of the Pixel 9 series and Pixel Fold 2 products that fans are now expecting.

What material are the new cases for Pixel 9 and Pixel Fold 2 made of? The cases are made from tough 600D Aramid Fibre, known for its lightweight and strong properties, commonly used in the aerospace industry. How many models are expected in the Pixel 9 series? Recent leaks suggest that the Pixel 9 series will have four models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 XL, and Pixel 9 XL Pro, which is a departure from Google's previous two-model approach. When is Google expected to unveil the Pixel 9 series and Pixel Fold 2? Google is likely to unveil the Pixel 9 series and Pixel Fold 2 during a hardware event later this year, probably around October. What are the features of the camera modules on the Pixel 9 series? The Pixel 9 series is expected to have an oval-shaped camera module with rearranged camera sensors and an LED flash, made of metal and resting on a glass back panel.
