Love it or hate it, AI features on a smartphone will only grow in number with time. And if it's any indicator of how times are changing, even Apple, which has avoided taking any big strides for years (be it foldables, super high-resolution cameras, faster charging), has jumped aboard the AI (Apple Intelligence) train this year with iOS 18. I have been using Google's newest member of the Pixel family, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, for a few weeks, and I must admit that its take on AI is impressive and starting to make some sense. Google's push for running AI models also results in some much-needed hardware upgrades that we have been asking for years. Thanks to this, it turns out to be a very capable smartphone, even without its AI bits.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Summary

Google’s Pixel 9 Pro XL has a premium design made from glass and aluminium with well-rounded corners. It’s also IP68 rated for dust and water resistance and manages to pack a vapour chamber cooling system and wireless charging coil despite its slim appearance.

It has a flat display which gets really bright and can tackle direct sunlight well all while showcasing natural-looking colours. The software experience is top notch and the AI features are very capable and also useful depending on what you want to use.

Overall performance is quite solid for daily use and also for gaming. Camera quality is very impressive and the Video Boost feature sure works wonders to improve video recordings.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL comes with nearly the same battery capacity as its predecessor and so will remain a one-day smartphone for power users. Charging speeds have improved provided you can get your hands on Google’s proprietary charger.
