JAKARTA Google will launch its newest Pixel line-up at the Made by Google event in August. Although the event has not yet been held, leaks about its newest device continue to circulate. The latest leak, as reported by Android Police, shows that the Pixel 9 Pro XL unit will use the latest Exynos modem. This modem supports RAM capacity of up to 16GB, while its storage capacity reaches 256GB. Currently, Android phones circulating in the market only offer RAM up to 12GB. If the Pixel 9 Pro XL is proven to offer 16GB RAM, this will be the largest capacity Google has ever offered. Google's flagship phones, namely the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Fold, are only equipped with 12GB RAM. Although the latest Pro series will get an increase in RAM, Google will continue to use 12GB RAM in the smaller Pixel 9 series.

With the addition of RAM in the Pixel 9 Pro XL, this device can perform Gemini's duties locally so that some of the features in it can work better. In addition, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) feature of this big language (LLM) model will be improved. Pixel 9 Pro XL will use LPDDR5 RAM. This finding may be wrong because the Pixel 8 Pro released last year used LPDDR5X RAM which is claimed to be faster and more efficient. It is unlikely that the Pixel 9 Pro XL performance decreased from the previous generation. Other important findings reveal that the Exynos 5400 in Pixel 9 Pro XL will use the latest 5G modem. This modem was created at EU 4 nanometer node and 3GPP Release 17 based which will support satellite connectivity.
