Google has two new Pixel 9 Pro phones, but are they worth the upgrade from the Pixel 8 Pro? What makes them different and which should you buy? Let's find out.
Google has finally let the world in on its not-so-well-kept secret: the Google Pixel 9 series is here, and all four new phones have something to offer. The Google Pixel 9 is the entry point to Google ’s latest devices, while the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is Google ’s second-generation foldable.
One of our favorite things about Pixel phones is the array of color options. Google knows how to make phones in attractive colors, especially in a way that isn’t garish or tacky. The Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL both come in four stylish colors: Obsidian , Porcelain , Hazel, and Rose Quartz. There’s no follow-up to the incredible blue Pixel 8 Pro, but the Rose Quartz color is a great choice this year.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL technically has a larger battery than the Pixel 8 Pro , but at just 10mAh bigger, it might as well be identical. The battery life on the Pixel 8 Pro left many people with concerns, so it’s unclear just how much better the battery could be. If the Pixel 9 Pro XL battery does prove to be better, this will be down to the efficiency of the Tensor G4 processor.
The front-facing camera is a welcome boost from last year. The Pixel 8 Pro sports a 10.5MP ultrawide selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture, but the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL have the best of any Pixel to date. The new 42MP selfie camera offers 4x the detail and presumably can use pixel binning to let in much more light at the 10.5MP range. Expect much better selfies on the Pixel 9 Pro versus the Pixel 8 Pro.
Google Pixel 9 Pro vs. Pixel 8 Pro: AI features As you might expect, the new Pixel 9 series debuts many AI features. Some of these may come to the Pixel 8 Pro in future Drops, but it’s unclear which ones and whether some may require the Tensor G4. Google understands how to make magic with software, and some of these features could be just as transformative as Magic Eraser was three years ago.
For example, ask Gemini for your apartment codes, and it’ll pass your request on to the Pixel Screenshots app. The app will surface the codes and show you the corresponding screenshots. It’s surprisingly neat and should be quite helpful for just about anyone.
