Calling all Pixel fans! Google’s highly anticipated Pixel 9 series is just around the corner, and a new leak has tech enthusiasts buzzing. This time, it’s the Pixel 9 Pro XL taking center stage, revealing some impressive upgrades under the hood.
Remember those rumors from April about the Pixel 9 Pro packing a whopping 16GB of RAM? Well, it seems they were spot on! This recent leak, courtesy of the XDA forums, gives us a glimpse of a presumed early version of the Pixel 9 Pro XL (codenamed “komodo”) boasting a staggering 16GB of RAM alongside a generous 256GB of storage.
While it’s unclear if this represents the base model, the appearance of both 128GB and 256GB variants in leaks hints that Google might be equipping the entire Pixel 9 lineup with this much memory. It’s a strategic move considering Google’s growing focus on on-device AI, which is known to be memory-hungry.
But the memory upgrade isn’t the only exciting news. The leak also confirms the Pixel 9 Pro XL will be sporting Samsung’s next-generation Exynos 5400 modem. This new modem boasts support for the latest 3GPP Release 17 standard, promising mind-blowing data speeds (though real-world usage might tell a different story). More importantly, the Exynos 5400’s satellite support is a feature many Pixel users have been eagerly anticipating.
This leak further strengthens the belief that the Exynos 5400 modem will be powering the entire Pixel 9 series, aligning with Samsung’s 4nm process technology found in Google’s Tensor G4 chip.
With the Pixel 9 launch inching closer, these leaks paint a picture of a powerful and future-proof smartphone. Stay tuned for more official reveals as we gear up for the official launch!
