Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Review: Finally, Almost, But …
The story of the Google Pixel is one of a lot of back and forth. At first, we saw the company try to tackle a smartphone competition that just did not work out with the Nexus. And so we went from this affordable approach into something more premium as companies like Apple and Samsung were not having a problem in making a market for themselves within that Realm. As a result the pixel was good in that it differentiated itself as a computational photography phone, at a time when it was still new enough to be considered an innovation. Today this is what you know as AI, and it allowed Google to stick to salvage old hardware for years and keep the cost down.
It wasn’t until the Pixel 6 series that the company really changed the approach. It was no longer an either flagship, premium or affordable approach, but instead you could pick all three with the Pro, base or a series. Aside from minor tweaks, you could access Google’s latest technology across the board, with the caveat that it was the
As a reminder, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL features a large 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s also powered by the Google Tensor G4 chip and comes with 16GB of RAM even on its base model. On the camera department, we have a triple rear setup with a 50MP main sensor, and 48MP telephoto and ultrawide lenses, making for an excellent camera system. The phone launched with Android 14, but was promptly updated to Android 15 and should continue receiving updates for the next seven years—software support is a major highlight on Google’s smartphones, and it’s probably one of the biggest reasons to get one. I currently own a Google Pixel 9 Pro (non-XL) as my daily driver and I absolutely love it. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is basically just a bigger version of that phone.
The phone has been down to this $949 price a few times, but most notably during Black Friday, so this is the lowest price we’ve seen this phone go for. It’s a great deal on a great phone, and if you’ve been on the market for a new Android phone, you might as well just pull the trigger on this one. You won’t regret it.
