Here's an alleged Pixel 9 in a surprisingly vibrant pink [Video]

Google is releasing the Pixel 9 series very early, and right on cue the leaks are coming. In a first leaked video, we’re getting a look at a surprisingly vibrant Pixel 9 in a pink color.

It’s almost inevitable for every Pixel to leak in a hands-on video ahead of its launch, and that’s what it seems we’re now seeing for the Pixel 9.

A leaked video posted by @hanibioud on Twitter/X supposedly shows the Pixel 9 in a bright pink color. The device is supposedly from Algeria and is claimed to have 256GB of storage.

Focusing in on the color, it’s way brighter than any color we’ve seen in recent years outside of the A-Series, but matches the leaked “Peony” color that first surfaced back in May. The design, of course, lines up perfectly with past leaks, with the device having flat edges and a glossy back, just like we’ve seen previously. This model also has two cameras, unlike what the similarly-sized Pixel 9 Pro is expected to have.

But there are some reasons to be a little skeptical here.

First and foremost, there’s the date. The video was supposedly recorded in early January 2024, and it’s a little odd that the device wouldn’t have any prototype markings that long ago. That date is somewhat backed up by the Galaxy S24 poster behind it, as the alleged January 7 recording date was just prior to Samsung’s launch. It’s odd on its own that the video has only just now surfaced.

The other reason is simply the color itself, which is unusually vibrant for Google’s flagship lineup. As mentioned, we’ve not seen a color this vibrant on a Pixel outside of the A-Series since 2019’s Pixel 4 (with its delightful “Oh So Orange”).

We’re taking this video with a grain of salt, but the user posting images claims we’ll hear more details tomorrow.
