Google Pixel 9 Pro XL review: a huge success | Digital Trends

The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is a big and expensive smartphone. It's also one of the best I've used this year. Let me explain why in my full review.

Google's best Pixel hardware yet ; Excellent display ; 16GB of RAM! ; Really fantastic cameras ; Helpful AI tools ; Much better battery life ; Seven years of updates

Pixel Studio is a mess ; Slow charging speeds ; 128GB of base storage

“The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL offers stunning hardware, lovely cameras, and much-improved specs — making it one of 2024's best flagship smartphones.”

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL review

August feels like October not because of the weather, but because Google announced the ninth Pixel generation early. It's all about AI and cameras, of...

Brightest display we've tested.

Battery life is behind the competition.

Of course, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a well rounded and fully capable high-end smartphone - that's beyond debate. This generation prioritizes the phone's development as a vehicle for Google's AI pursuits - if you're into that and want to ride the AI wave,...

Google Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL review: AI all over the place

Google finally got the hardware right.

Excellent screen and build quality ; Seven years of OS upgrades ; Smaller size and still full-featured ; Excellent screens and build quality ; Seven years of OS upgrades ; Big screen for the big screen lovers

AI features are inconsistent ; What is a photo? ; AI features are inconsistent ; More expensive than last year’s big Pixel ; What is a photo?

And even as a small-phone enthusiast, the 9 Pro feels like a reasonable size to me. It’s not small , but it’s not gargantuan, either, and I deeply appreciate not having to sacrifice camera features by choosing it over the big one. Pixel image quality...

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is everything I hoped Google could achieve, and then some

I've been a Pixel fan for a long time, but I was never sure that Google could make a phone like the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I was wrong.

Excellent build quality, refined design ; Stunning display ; Extensive update policy ; Sharp, powerful cameras ; Improved wired charging ; Clever Gemini features

Tensor still runs warm ; Confusing charging situation

As you’ve probably guessed, I really,

Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL Review: Yup, This is Your Next Phone

The launch of the Pixel 9 series is without a doubt the biggest for Google in many years. Instead of giving us two phones – one Pro, one non-Pro – they gave us 4 phones to try to decide between, all of which have been massively redesigned. There's the...

That question is framed that way because in short – yes , I think you should strongly consider buying one of Google’s Pixel 9 Pro phones if you are in the market for something new and at the high-end. Your real decision is over which one, the small or...

Testing the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: AI-Powered Performance at Its Best

We tested the Pixel 9 Pro, Google's flagship supposed to have the best photo quality and AI features. Read our honest review.

Elegant, comfortable design ; Extremely bright screen ; Excellent autonomy ; Gemini Nano finally comes in handy ; 7 Android updates + 7 security updates ; Good daytime photo quality

Gemini Live's appeal rather limited ; Slow wired charging ; Disappointing nighttime photo quality

Do I advise you to buy the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL from $1,099? Yes. As a premium flagship, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL makes perfect sense. It has nothing to envy the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max in terms of design and photo...
