When Google first showcased its Pixel's AI capabilities, it started with some synthetic camera enhancements on the Pixel 7 Pro. This also included some Tensor G2-powered features such as Cinematic Blur. It then took things up several notches by introducing AI-enabled effects and the ability to "magically" remove people, objects, and more with the Pixel 8 Pro. With the Pixel 9 Pro series, we are now going above and beyond. One can not only modify but even create AI-generated content on the fly (generative AI). It's not just to do with images, but everything from replies to messages, summarising emails and plenty more. AI moves from what was previously a background role to the forefront and makes its way into every app and space you can imagine.
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.
