Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.5/10
Verdict
The Pixel 9 Pro XL is sure to impress if looks and performance matter to you. The new processor and AI features also ensure an improved user experience, and the camera performance combined with fun editing tools, continues to get better. However, some old Pixel issues, like slow charging, linger. The Galaxy S24 Ultra also takes a small lead by offering an inbuilt S-Pen and extra AI tools. Perhaps more aggressive pricing might help Google gain an edge.
Pros
- Premium build and design
- Brilliant video recording
- Fun AI editing tools
- Decent battery life
Cons
- Slow charging
- Pricey
Design and display
+
The most evident change in this year's Pixel 9 Pro lineup is the redesigned camera module. While the triple rear cameras retain their original positioning, they are now housed in an oval module instead of the previous rectangular one. The Pro models, including the Pixel 9 Pro XL, retain the temperature sensor below the LED flash.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL's rear camera setup remains unchanged from last year, featuring a 50MP primary camera, a 48MP telephoto camera, and a 48MP ultra-wide camera. While the telephoto camera offers 5x optical zoom, the smartphone also leverages the primary camera for portrait shots with 3x zoom. Anything beyond that, the periscope-style lens of the telephoto camera solely takes over. However, the front camera has been upgraded to a 42MP selfie shooter, still supporting 4K video recording at 60fps.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL's tall size allows for a bigger 5,060mAh battery, which performed well during my review even with the highest settings enabled - providing nearly a full day's use. You can extend this further by disabling Always-On Display (AOD) and lowering the screen resolution.
