At this rate, there may not be any secrets left when Google takes the stage on Aug. 13 to show off its latest Pixel phones.

The latest leak comes courtesy of the YouTube channel @pixophone, which posted a YouTube Short video purporting to show off the rumored Pixel 9 Pro XL next to last year's Pixel 8 Pro. In the video, neither device appears to be turned on, so all we see is the rumored bigger Pixel 9 Pro directly compared to the Pixel 8 Pro in terms of physical design.

The limited information from this video reveals that the 9 Pro XL features curved edges, rounded corners, and a horizontal camera bar on the back that is a free-floating oval rather than spanning the entire width of the phone. Most intriguing is that it doesn't appear to be much bigger than the Pixel 8 Pro, if it's bigger at all. Perhaps the Pixel 9 Pro will be smaller by comparison.
