Pixel 9 Pro XL

Computational photography meets the deepest Gemini integration.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is Google's largest Pixel ever, with a 6.8-inch Super Actua display, the new Tensor G4 chip, and a triple 50/48/48 MP camera system. Gemini Nano runs natively on-device for live AI features that other phones still stream to the cloud.

Cons
