Google seems to be having a hard time keeping its latest Pixel a secret. First, photos of the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold were leaked back in February, and since then, we've seen at least three actual major leaks of the upcoming smartphone.

Google's luck is that the closer to launch they get, the better. The entire Pixel 9 series has been leaked by regulator NCC (essentially the Taiwanese version of the FCC), revealing photos including the first clear photos of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold (a good look at the folding part), battery size, new photos of charging speeds, and more.

NCC revealed all four Pixel 9 models: the Pixel 9 (model number GUR25), Pixel 9 Pro (GEC77), Pixel 9 Pro XL (GZC4K), and Pixel 9 Pro Fold (GGH2X). NCC also features photos of the phones' internal structure. We've compiled an image gallery of each handset below.

These photos confirm that Google is moving the inner selfie camera to the corner of the screen, which was already hinted at in previous renders. The new square camera array seen in previous renders is also confirmed, replacing the Pixel series' iconic long camera bar.

The 9 Pro Fold appears to have narrower bezels at the top and bottom of the inner display compared to the original Pixel Fold. The display also appears to crease a bit less, but you won't know until you try the device out -- the phone also lies completely flat in these photos, whereas the original Fold couldn't be opened all the way.
