Compare Google Pixel 9 Pro vs Google Pixel 9 Pro XL

The Google Pixel 9 Pro and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL are part of Google's autumn 2024 release and are premium phones in the Pixel 9 range. They both boast the Pro triple rear camera system and include all of Google's innovative photo editing features, such as Add Me, Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, Best Take and Photo Unblur^¹ - you have all the tools to make your photos the best they can be. Additionally, both phones are available in the same choice of colours, benefit from 16 GB RAM of storage, and come with Gemini (Google phones' AI assistant). However, those with the Pixel 9 Pro will get a year's free access to Gemini Advanced, which is better at tasks involving logical reasoning, analysis, and coding and includes more features that aid creative collaboration².

As you might expect, the display of the Pixel 9 Pro XL is larger than the Pixel 9 Pro's. The 9 Pro XL's screen measures 6.8 inches² whereas the screen of the 9 Pro measures 6.3 inches³, but despite the size difference, both have the same Super Actua display. This means that the screen is the same quality irrespective of the size. Despite the fact that the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL has a larger battery than the Google Pixel 9 Pro - 5,060 mAh versus 4,700 mAh - they both have 24+ hour battery life⁴ and up to 100-hour battery life with Extreme Battery Saving⁵.

Screen size and battery aside, the phones' specs are ultimately the same. If you use your phone for entertainment a lot - if you're a gamer or regularly stream content - then the larger screen of the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL might be a good choice for you. But if you have small hands, or don't need a large-screened phone, then the Google Pixel 9 Pro might be better suited for you. Additionally, if cost is a factor in your decision, then keep in mind that the 9 Pro model will probably cost a little bit less than the 9 Pro XL.
