We’re less than a month out from the launch of the Pixel 9, and the coming weeks should see a whole host of new leaks pop out of the woodwork. Regulatory documents from agencies like the FCC are a good source of those leaks, and they seem to have revealed a few interesting facts about the Pixel 9.
9to5Google uncovered what seem to be FCC e-labels for the entire Pixel 9 series — the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. These labels don’t reveal full specs for the phone, but it does mention that all four models will be getting Thread radios — a hardware feature that first appeared on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max last year.
The e-labels also reveal that one Pixel 9 model will support mmWave 5G, and if I were to guess I’d pick the Pixel 9 Pro XL as the most likely candidate for that particular modem. The other three are apparently skipping mmWave, but all four should have Ultra WideBand (UWB) support.
Dimensions also suggest that one of the latter three is the Pixel 9 Pro Fold — also known as the Pixel Fold 2. Considering FCC approval only happens close to a phone’;s official release, this suggests that the phone will be launching alongside the rest of the Pixel 9 series. But that has been rumored for many months, and honestly makes a lot more sense than launching alongside the Pixel 8a.
