Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Leak Reveals Massive RAM Upgrade and Samsung Modem Upgrade – Exclusive Hands-On

San Francisco, CA – As the launch date approaches, Google’s highly anticipated Pixel 9 series is starting to make waves with a new hands-on leak revealing details about the Pixel 9 Pro XL model. This leak showcases the device’s new Samsung modem and a significant increase in memory capacity.

In April, initial details about the Pixel 9 Pro series emerged, including a leaked image of the bootloader indicating 128GB of storage and a whopping 16GB of RAM – a first for any Google Pixel device. Reports also suggested that the device would feature an updated Samsung modem, the Exynos 5400, which had been recently announced by Samsung.

Recent leaks have further confirmed these details, with a new hands-on leak revealing a version of the Pixel 9 Pro XL with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This leak, identified by the codename “komodo,” raises questions about whether these memory capacities will be standard across all models, hinting at Google’s potential focus on on-device AI, which requires substantial memory.

Additionally, this leak provides concrete evidence that the device is indeed equipped with the Exynos 5400 modem, further solidifying the expectation that this modem will be used across Google’s entire Pixel 9 series. The Exynos 5400 boasts impressive features, including support for satellite communication and a 4nm process similar to Google’s Tensor G4 chipset.

Google is gearing up to officially unveil the Pixel 9 series on August 13, having already teased images of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The company’s latest offerings are generating significant buzz in the tech community, with fans eagerly anticipating the release of these highly advanced devices.
