What's different between the Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL? Not a lot, although those differences will probably determine which model is best for you.
Google has introduced the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, the first XL Pixel model since 2019. How different is it from the also recently introduced Pixel 9 Pro? Perhaps not nearly as much as you might expect. In fact, there are only two main differences between the two smartphones — but they are important differences, and will likely be deciding factors in which of the two you eventually buy.
But beyond this, the similarities are striking. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL offer the same color choices: Obsidian black, Porcelain white, Hazel green, and Rose Quartz pink. Both phones’ displays have an impressive dynamic refresh rate of up to 120Hz, support HDR10+, and boast a lovely peak brightness of 3,000 nits.
Like last year, you’ll get a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48MP ultrawide camera, and a 48MP telephoto camera. On the front, instead of the 10.5MP sensor found on last year’s model, the selfie camera on the Pixel 9 Pro model is 42MP. Google Pixel 9 Pro vs. Pixel 9 Pro XL: performance This is the fourth year that Google has used an in-house Tensor G chipset inside its Pixel lineup of phones. While earlier versions largely missed the mark, the Tensor G3 in last year’s model was seen as a noticeable step up. Not surprisingly, more improvements have arrived with the Tensor G4 used in this year’s model.
The Pixel 9 Pro has a 4,700mAh capacity battery, which Google claims can last up to 24 hours with regular use. Lighter usage may extend this to about a day and a half. Enabling Extreme Battery Saver mode can stretch this to 100 hours between charges. The Pixel 9 Pro XL recharges at up to 37W, slightly better than the 30W on the Pixel 8 Pro, but it still needs to be faster for a phone at this price point. It took about 90 minutes to go from 0 to 100% compared to the 30 minutes for a full charge on the OnePlus 12R.
