"Holding the Google Pixel 9 Pro series for the first time reminded me of when I held the iPhone 12 Pro for the first time. The shift from the previous year's curved design to flatter edges made all the difference in its feel and perception of value. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL exude premium, and Google knows it."
"Fortunately, you have plenty to gain by paying Google more. From my month of testing the Pro XL model -- with short stints using the smaller Pro -- I've greatly benefitted from upgrades such as the brighter (up to 3,000 nits) display, AI features like Call Notes and Pixel Screenshots, the faster 45W charging, and Tensor G4 chip that has kept the phone running smoothly. The new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is also crazy fast."
"With the Pixel 9 Pro series, the design -- as unexpected as it is -- is the standout feature for me. The flat edges rest smoothly against my hand, giving me a confident grip when swiping and typing, a treatment of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 makes the model twice as durable as last year's, and whether you prefer a smaller or larger form factor, you've got options."
Holding the Google Pixel 9 Pro series showed a significant feel improvement from prior curved designs due to flatter edges and a more premium presence. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL carry higher regular prices that align with Samsung and Apple flagship pricing, though Pro XL is heavily discounted for Black Friday starting at $699 (Hazel) and $749 (Obsidian, Porcelain). Key upgrades include a brighter display up to 3,000 nits, new AI features such as Call Notes and Pixel Screenshots, 45W charging, the Tensor G4 chip, an ultrafast ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for doubled durability.
