FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Google Pixel 8 is one of the more affordable high-end phones youll find, 
undercutting the likes of the iPhone 15 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 . But with 
the Pixel 9 , Google might bring its pricing more in line with rivals. 

This is according to French site Dealabs (via GSMArena ), which has seemingly 
leaked French pricing for the entire Pixel 9 series. 

Starting with the Google Pixel 9 itself, this will apparently start at 899 
for a 128GB model, rising to 999 for 256GB. For comparison, the Pixel 8 
starts at 799 and rose to 859 for the same storage capacities. 

Converting this reported French price to other currencies is unlikely to 
provide an accurate figure, but its likely that the Google Pixel 9 will start 
at more than the Pixel 8s $699 / 699 / AU$1,199 starting price. 

As for the Google Pixel 9 Pro, that will apparently cost 1,099 for 128GB of 
storage, 1,199 for 256GB, and 1,329 for 512GB. The starting price there is 
similar to the Pixel 8 Pro s, but the 256GB Pixel 8 Pro was cheaper at 1,169, 
and the 512GB model also cost less, at 1,289. 

Based on that, then, we might see a similar starting price to the Pixel 8 
Pro, which starts at $999 / 999 / AU$1,699, but you may have to pay more this 
year for higher storage capacities. The Pixel 9 Pro could have a similar 
starting price to the Pixel 8 Pro (Image credit: Future / Philip Berne) The 
XL and the Pro Fold 

Then we come to the rumored new addition to the line  the Pixel 9 Pro XL. 
This model is said to start at 1,199, for which you get 128GB of storage, 
rising to 1,299 for 256GB, 1,429 for 512GB, and 1,689 for 1TB. We dont have a 
previous model to compare these prices to, but wed expect that this might 
mean a starting price of around $1,099 / 1,099 / AU$1,849 for the Pixel 9 Pro 
XL. 

And the site even has pricing for the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold (which is the 
rumored official name of the Google Pixel Fold 2 ). Supposedly this model 
will start at 1,899 for 256GB of storage, and rise to 2,029 for 512GB of 
storage. Those prices are roughly the same as the original Google Pixel Fold 
s, so this phone may well have a starting price of around $1,799 / 1,749 
(roughly AU$2,655) like its predecessor. 

The site additionally claims that the Pixel 9 will be sold in Obsidian 
(black), Porcelain (white), Mojito (probably a pale green), and Cosmo (which 
were not sure of) shades, while the Pixel 9 Pro will be available in 
Obsidian, Porcelain, Hazel (a sage green), and Pink. The Pixel 9 Pro XL will 
reportedly launch in Obsidian, Porcelain, and Hazel, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold 
in Obsidian and Porcelain. 

All four of these phones will supposedly be announced at the same event, 
which will most likely be the Made by Google event on August 13, so we don't 
have too long to wait before this rumored information is confirmed (or 
denied). Until then, though, nothing is official, so take these leaks with a 
pinch of salt. You might also like Pixel 9 hands-on video leak points to a
