The frenzy ignited by the recently concluded Galaxy Unpacked event seems to be gradually vanishing. Given that, all eyes are now set on the next groundbreaking event from Google called "Made by Google." 

The event is set to showcase so much alongside the next lineup of the Pixel phone, the Pixel 9 series. These phones have been the central focus of almost every prolific tipster in the top-tier smartphone sphere with intensive familiarity with all the previous generation of Pixel phones. 

Both the eagerly waiting enthusiasts and industry experts are not only impatient to get their hands on the class-leading smartphone but also to verify whether the claims they made about the phone stand true.

Pixel 9 design renders (expected)

A bunch of leaks and rumours surfaced during the past couple of weeks, but what are believed to be the most accurate photos of the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro Fold hint at the departure from the signature Pixel camera design featured with almost every iteration of the Pixel phone. 

Along with the hardware, the renders that leaked a couple of months ago suggest that the camera of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will boast a square shape, which is expected to look too different from both the other Pixel 9 phones and the previous Pixel Fold. 

As put by a correspondent of Android Police, the design of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold does away with the Pixel phone's "originality for a safe bet," by discarding exclusive design elements from the first generation to embrace a more common foldable design.
