Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: The XL returns with 3,000-nit display, faster charging and new 42 MP selfie camera

Google has released countless Pixel devices in the last five years, the latest of which was the Pixel 8a (curr. $499 on Amazon) until today. However, none of them have featured the company's 'XL' branding, which was a mainstay throughout the 2010s. That has now changed with the Pixel 9 series though, thanks to the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

For context, Google now also applies its 'Pro' to a smaller option, which it sells simply as the Pixel 9 Pro. While it and the larger Pixel 9 Pro XL are similar in many regards, Google has attempted to distinguish them in a few areas. As a result, the Pixel 9 Pro XL contains a mixed bag of upgrades over the Pixel 8 Pro.

On the one hand, Google has equipped the newer model with a 0.1-inch larger display, despite featuring ostensibly the same footprint at 162.8 x 76.6 x 8.5 mm. Now measuring 6.8-inches across, the LTPO OLED display also moves from 2,400 nits to 3,000 nits peak brightness. With that being said, the larger panel continues to output at 120 Hz and 1,344 x x 2,922 pixels. As a result, its pixel density drops from 489 PPI to 486 PPI.

Similarly, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is 8 g heavier than its predecessor. Nonetheless, Google has included its new Tensor G4 chipset and 16 GB of RAM though, as well as upgraded and selfie and ultra-wide-angle cameras. Furthermore, the Pixel 9 Pro XL supports satellite SOS functionality, which thePixel 8 Prolacks.

On the other hand, the largest candy bar Pixel continues to peak at 23 W wireless charging while featuring practically the same battery capacity (5,060 mAh). Also, its 50 MP primary and 48 MP telephoto cameras remain, although the former is now advertised as delivering up to 8K/30 FPS videos through Google's 'Video Boost' technology. The Pixel 9 Pro XL currently starts at $1,099 with 128 GB of storage but can be configured with 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of storage for $1,199, $1,319 and $1,549, respectively.
