Description:
Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL prices have leaked, and they're higher than
you might have hoped for.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Were now just days away from the August 13 launch of the Google Pixel 9 series, but in typical fashion almost everything about these phones has seemingly now leaked. One of the few things we're not fairly sure about at this point is the prices, but now those have leaked too at least for the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

According to a Reddit post showing a screenshot of pricing at T-Mobile (spotted by GSMArena ), the Google Pixel 9 Pro will start at $999.99. Thats the same starting price as the Pixel 8 Pro , and while we dont have prices
for other regions, if that price is accurate theres a good chance theyll be the same elsewhere too, meaning we might be looking at 999 / AU$1,699.

While that might sound like good news, however, we'd note that the Pixel 9
Pro is reportedly a much smaller phone than the Pixel 8 Pro. The latter is
6.7 inches, while according to leaks the former has just a 6.3-inch screen. (Image credit: Reddit / 5XDylanBISHF) An XL price for an XL phone

The real successor to the Pixel 8 Pro is the Pixel 9 Pro XL, which is said to have a roughly 6.7-inch screen, and which according to this price list starts at $1,199. So we could essentially be looking at a $200 price rise comparedto the 8 Pro (there was no Pro XL model last year).

Again, theres no pricing for other regions, but based on pricing for other configurations of the Pixel 8 Pro, that might translate to around 1,199 / AU$1,999.

There is a little bit of confusion here in that both the 256GB and 512GB
Pixel 9 Pro XL models are listed as costing $1,199, so wed take this list
with a pinch of salt. However, according to leaker Roland Quandt , one of Googles pre-order offers will be selling a 512GB model for the price of a 256GB one, so thats probably whats happening here.

That deal could take some of the sting out of the rumored price hike, but
this still amounts to a hefty increase. Whether the Pixel 9 Pro XL will be worthy of such a price rise remains to be seen, but we'll find out very soon stay tuned to TechRadar for all the last-minute leaks, and for our coverage
of the launch event and our impressions of the Pixel 9 line on August 13. You might also like Leaked Google Pixel 9 Pro video hints at two genuinely useful Gemini AI skills Leaked Pixel 9 Pro images may reveal its full design Best Pixel phones : these are the Google phones to buy right now
