Google Hardware launch event The company is expected to launch its Pixel 9 family at its August 13th launch, two months earlier than usual. This will be the company’s biggest Pixel series to date. Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XLand Pixel 9 Pro Foldable It offers many more high-end options than ever before.
Today, the prices of these devices were leaked in France, so let’s take a look. The Pixel 9 is said to be available in four colors: Obsidian (black), Porcelain (white), Cosmo, and Mojito. Mojito is probably greenish, so Cosmo is probably a better choice. Leaked Pinkish hue since last week.
The standard model will cost €899 for 128GB storage and €999 for 256GB. The Pixel 9 Pro is roughly the same size as the Pixel 9 but has more cameras. It starts at €1,099 for 128GB storage, €1,199 for 256GB, and €1,329 if you want 512GB.
The top-end version will reportedly only be offered in Obsidian and Hazel, while the other two will also come in Porcelain and Pink (Cosmo, anyone?) options.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL has the same internals as the Pixel 9 Pro, but is larger in size, making it a true successor to the Pixel 9 Pro. Pixel 8 ProPrices start at €1,199 for 128GB of storage, €1,299 for 256GB, €1,429 for 512GB, and €1,689 for 1TB.
The 1TB version will only be available in Obsidian, the 128GB and 512GB models will be joined by Porcelain and Hazel, and only the 256GB variant will be offered in Pink. This strategy is not easy to understand even for us, but don’t worry.
Finally, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is the successor to the original Pixelfold It has been on the market since last year. This model is available in Obsidian and Porcelain only, with 256GB of storage for 1,899 euros and 512GB for 2,029 euros.
As with all pricing leaks in Euros, please note that there may be small differences across the EU due to different VAT levels, but if this leak is accurate, that’s what we’d expect as a baseline.
For your reference, Pixel 8 At launch, the 128GB model was €100 cheaper and the 256GB model was €140 cheaper. The Pixel 9 Pro is the same price as the Pixel 8 Pro for the base model, but the 256GB version is €30 more expensive and the 512GB version is €40 more expensive, making the comparison unfair in the first place. As we have already said, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is the true successor to the Pixel 8 Pro, and with that in mind, Google’s large non-foldable flagship, coming in 2024, will be at least €100 more expensive than its predecessor.
While these prices don’t necessarily convert directly into other currencies, it’s reasonable to assume that prices that are unchanged from last year in the EU will remain the same in other markets for 2023, and that any increased prices will increase around the world.
