Fans of big phones, rejoice: Following the leaks, Google confirmed at Made by Google 2024 on Aug. 13 that the Pixel Pro is getting a size upgrade in the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.
The XL is nearly identical to the regular Pro, offering two main differences: a 6.8-inch display compared to the regular Pro’s 6.3-inch display and a slightly larger battery. It’ll run you $100 more, but if those two upgrades suit your phone preferences, you can already place your preorder for the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL with 128GB of storage starting at $1,099 at the Google Store, Best Buy, and Amazon. The phone is due to ship out in just over a week on Aug. 22.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the brand’s first extra-large phone, but it’s actually not all that bigger than the Pixel 8 Pro. Google downsized the standard Google Pixel 9 Pro to a 6.3-inch display compared to the Google Pixel 8 Pro’s 6.7-inch display. Yes, that means that the Pixel 9 Pro XL only offers 0.1 inches more display than the Pixel 8 Pro.
So how does this translate to the actual experience of using the display? The aspect ratio, peak brightness, and refresh rate are all the same, with the main difference lying in the resolution: the Pixel 9 Pro has a resolution of 1280 x 2856 while the Pixel 9 Pro XL sits at 1344 x 2992.
Other than that, both phones offer the same 16GB of RAM (for those in between a Pro XL and an iPhone 15 Pro Max, the latter only offers 8GB RAM), a Tensor G4 chip, and options of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB of storage space. (The Pro Max starts at 256GB). The Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL also both offer the best cameras you can find in the Pixel 9 line, with a 50-megapixel rear-wide lens and 42-megapixel selfie camera.
And as with the entire Pixel 9 line, you’ll get access to a whole host of Gemini AI features.
If you’re ready to live large with your display, you can pre-order the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL in obsidian, hazel, rose quartz, or porcelain.
