    The Pixel 9 will have rounded corners with a flat display and a centered punch-hole selfie camera. The power button and volume keys are placed on the right side of a flat frame. The smartphone will feature a 6.03-inch display, slightly smaller than the Pixel 9 Pro’s 6.1-inch display.

    In terms of dimensions, the Pixel 9 measures around 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm, and 12mm with the rear camera bump, OnLeaks tells us.

    So imitating Apple, a bunch of useless stuff like “adaptive touch depending on environment” and wireless charging.

    Still no headphone jack.

    Wow.

      You’re expecting the headphone jack to make a miraculous comeback in the future?

        It is a huge security improvement. Using a DAC means I need to have USB always enabled (GrapheneOS has a toggle to disable all data which I would otherwise use) and Bluetooth is

        • used for tracking peoples movements
        • forcing expensive planned obsolescence heaphones with tiny li-ion batteries and proprietary chargers
        • also a security threat, as you have an open connection without any reason

        Those Gaming phones have nonexistent updates, and others are way less secure than Googles and thus not supported by GrapheneOS.

        I switched from a Nokia with unofficial LineageOS to GrapheneOS, simply because I need this level of security to feel safe.

      Forget the headphone jack. Give me back my SD card slot so I don’t need to pay for your shitty storage for my own pictures.

      I struggle to understand why in 2024 you are dieing on the hill of a headphone jack. It’s over. Let it go.

      There’s no argument you can make that will have any logic to it. There once was, but that time has passed, pal.

      I am 99 percent sure if a guy had a jack on his phone, yet were listening to stuffs via BT headphones and they died, he wouldn’t have a set of wired headphones on him.

      And if I just so happen to have some wired ones on me to offer him, he’d probably be like,

      “nah, thanks. I’ll just charge these for 15 mins and it’ll last another 3 hrs”

      …

      Let it go…

    the days of being remotely excited by phone design are way behind us. This looks like an iPhone 4 with a pixel 6+ camera bar. Meh.

    Oh come on, that camera bar sticks out so much. I am so tired of this design gimmick. Every Pixel phone with a case already looks ridiculously thick just so that the stupid bar is protected. With how thick it looks on the Pixel 9, the whole phone is just going to be a chonker by the time someone slaps a case on it.

    All this coming at a time when my perfectly fine Pixel 5 just got EOLed is demoralizing.

    I’m still not quite sold on the pill-shaped camera bar but I suppose this design helps with consistency across different types of device (normal phones, foldables, tablets), unlike the current camera visor.
