The NCC also certified a 45W charger with a round design.
This charger is likely meant for Pixel 9 Pro XL, as the NCC reports an approximate charging speed of 32.67 W. The maximum speed will be faster - for reference, while Pixel 8 is advertised as supporting 27W fast charging, the NCC reports its charging speed as 24.66 W.
Knowing this and that the new charger supports 45W fast charging, Pixel 9 Pro XL might have an advertised charging speed of 45W.

Another leak comes from Kamila Wojciechowska (via Android Authority) and reveals the camera specifications of the upcoming phones.
On Pixel 9, Google has replaced the old Sony IMX386 ultrawide camera sensor with a Sony IMX858. The new sensor is larger, which should make it more useful in low-light conditions. Pixel 9's front camera finally supports autofocus.
Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL use the same Sony IMX858 50MP sensor for the telephoto lens and front camera. This means that the new flagships should have one of the best front cameras, as the IMX858 is primarily designed for rear-facing cameras and is larger than most selfie cam sensors. The thermometer seen on Pixel 8 Pro is also included.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold gets a downgrade, as the ultrawide camera uses a smaller Samsung 3LU sensor, while both selfie cameras use 10MP Samsung 3K1 sensors. According to Kamila, Google might have been forced to use inferior sensors to make the new foldable thinner, because it is almost 2mm thinner than Pixel Fold.

A visual demonstration of the cameras on Pixel 9 Pro XL was shared on TikTok by Ukrainian tech store Pixophone, which also shared hands-on videos and comparisons of the new phones. In the video, the camera is zoomed in from 0.5x to 30x.
More hands-on photos of the #Pixel 9 series - including a first look at Pixel 9 Pro Fold - and specifications appear.
Google's next event is right around the corner, and, in typical Google fashion, a lot of information has already leaked.
The first leak comes from NCC, a Taiwanese regulatory agency, which has recently certified the Pixel 9 series. As part of the certification report, it has shared photos, including the first real world photos of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, as well as battery sizes and charging speed.
Another leak comes from Kamila Wojciechowska (via Android Authority) and reveals the camera specifications of the upcoming phones. The camera hardware on Pixel 9 Pro Fold is slightly downgraded, while other phones get an upgrade, including what might be the best front camera on the market.
In an earlier leak she also revealed that Pixel 9, 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL will have a Qualcomm 3D Sonic Gen 2 ultrasonic fingerprint scanner - the same one used on Galaxy S24 Ultra - replacing the optical one used in previous models. Ultrasonic fingerprint scanners are much faster and more accurate than optical scanners, and don't require flashing a bright light.
