Now that the Google Pixel 8a is on the market, the next Google phone off the production line should be the Pixel 9 – and we may now know what colors it will come in and what wallpapers will come with the handset.
The wallpaper images were obtained by Android Authorityand there are 28 in total: you can download and use them now if you want to give your current phone a little Pixel 9 flair while you wait for Google’s next flagship phone.
As Android Authority notes, the wallpapers that come with the Pixel phones (often developed in collaboration with design studios) have always been high quality, and this latest batch looks quite striking too.
The theme of these images is apparently “swirling petals”, with the description of “a swirling display of abstract flowers” added. No doubt the Pixel 9 will also offer AI wallpaper generation capabilities, just like the latest models.
Color options
According to Android Authority, these wallpapers reveal the colors of the upcoming Pixel 9 series – and appear to confirm the existence of three models (as previously rumored) and a new foldable phone (also as previously rumored).
The colors are said to be Jade, Obsidian, Peony, and Porcelain for the Pixel 9, then Hazel, Obsidian, Porcelain, and Rose for the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, then Obsidian and Porcelain (or Gold) for the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Android Authority notes that these colors are subject to change, or at least their names. We’ve already seen leaked photos of the Pixel 9 in a dark gray shade, which matches the Obsidian color option mentioned above.
If Google sticks to the same schedule as last year, these four Pixel 9 units – including the new larger option – should arrive around October. The rumored upgrades include satellite connectivity to catch up with the iPhone.
