If you are a tech enthusiast who is really hovering right on the release of the Google Pixel 9 series, then well, here is a shocker. A recent leak from a French news portal, Dealabs Magazine, revealed some details about the price tags that will come with these highly talked-about devices. Quoting in euros, these prices will still give us some idea of what prices these new smartphones will come at when they reach consumers.
Pricing Details and Changes
Let’s start with the Pixel 9. This baseline model, which is 128 GB, sells for €899—€100 more than the basic equivalent from last year, the Pixel 8. If one moves up to the 256 GB version, that bumps up to €999 versus €859 for last year’s Pixel 8. Yes, that higher storage capacity may put the 256 GB version in a better value, but it is still clearly an increase over the past year’s model.
For the Pixel 9 Pro, the company is pricing its base model of 128GB at €1,099. Of course, this is priced similarly to the Pixel 8 Pro last year, while the real stingers are the 256 GB and 512 GB variants of the Pixel 9 Pro. But here’s a twist: Google comes up with not two but three standard Pixel 9s, plus a foldable variant.
What’s Different About the Pixel 9 Pro XL?
The Pixel 9 Pro XL upgrades where one would expect from a Pro model but retains the small form factor of the Pixel 9. If you want more Pro specs in as large a device as possible, as featured on the Pixel 8 Pro, then you need to opt for the Pixel 9 Pro XL starting at €1,199. This is €100 more than the Pixel 8 Pro, the same step-up that happened from the Pixel 8 to the Pixel 9.

For the foldable variant, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be available for €1,899 for the 128 GB and €2,029 for the 256 GB model. All four will be launched for consumers on August 13th in the coming launch event by Google, who have released them just within a span of ten months from the last release.
Should You Upgrade?
Based on these details, consider whether upgrading to the Pixel 9 or Pixel 9 Pro would be worth it. Sure, consumers might hold up on purchases at higher prices, but enhanced specs and features only give way to more sales. From the regular Pixel 9 devices to its premium sibling, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, what Google is about to offer seems promising and might just be the juiciest addition in the smartphone space.
