Of course, I haven't seen the Pixel 9 Pro (XL) myself, but if the "leaked" pictures are the final form - as we can assume - I can only hope that the performance of the cameras will indeed far exceed that of the setups in the Pixel 8 Pro. Because this new design looks (to my eyes, and IMHO) almost ugly compared to the camera bar across the top in the Pixel 8.  The new design appears to have been chosen mostly just to be different than the predecessor, but gives up the signature look of the Pixels, which I found far preferable than that of many of these "camera islands" on other Android and Apple Smartphones.  Oh well, at least Google won't raise the prices - oh wait, they will😶.
