Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently upgraded to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations. The Hazel color looks sleek and stylish, giving the phone a premium feel. The build quality is solid, and despite the large size, it feels comfortable to hold. The performance on this phone is blazing fast—apps open instantly, and multitasking is smooth without any lag. The Google Tensor G3 chip makes everything from gaming to video streaming a breeze. What really sets this phone apart is the camera. The Pixel 9 Pro XL takes stunning photos with rich detail, vibrant colors, and excellent low-light performance. Google's AI enhancements for photography are unbeatable, and the zoom capabilities are just incredible. Battery life has been impressive as well. It easily lasts me a full day of heavy use, and the charging speeds are great too. If you’re looking for a top-tier Android experience, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is hard to beat. Google continues to refine the Pixel series, and it shows with this phone. Highly recommend!

The Pixel 9 XL is a fantastic phone. Its strengths lie in its exceptional camera, powered by Google's AI, and its vibrant 6.3-inch OLED display. Performance is top-notch thanks to the latest Android 14 and a powerful processor, ensuring smooth multitasking and gaming. Battery life is impressive, easily lasting a full day. While it would be nice to have more storage options beyond 256GB and a bundled Gemini Live subscription, the Pixel 9 XL delivers a premium smartphone experience at a competitive price. It's a top contender for anyone seeking a flagship phone.

I struggle to give this phone four stars, it's really 4.5 to me. Overall I really like the phone. What I really like: -The size, fit and feel. It is a great size, nearly identical to the Pro Max 16 that comes out soon. I traded in my S24 Ultra for this, in part, because I didn't like the squared off edges of the S24U. -The camera is great. One of the best all-around cameras on a phone. The S22-24U still beats any camera in the optical zoom feature though Pixel 8 Pro & up finally has the "Zoom Enhance" feature that was promised at the launch of the 8 Pro. Zoom Enhance is a bit of a gimmick but it does help with some things, especially text. -Battery life has been very good. I tend to get about 2 days out of it, though I do use two phones. -Stock Android is better than One UI in my opinion though I still use Nova Launcher because it brings a tremendous amount customization. -Ultrasonic Finger Sensor. Finally! The fingerprint sensor is so much better than the 7 Pro or 8 Pro! Where the deductions come from: -Price. This is not quite on par with other $1100 phones. The Tensor processor is good for most everything most people use their phones for but it still lags appl and Snapdragon. This should still be $999 with 256GB starting storage.

I have had Pixel phones since the Pixel 2. This is my favorite one this far. The build quality of this phone feels amazing. I traded in a Pixel 8 pro for the 9 Pro XL and i have no regrets. I dont use the AI features but its a cool nice to have. Battery life for me has been way better that than Pixel in the past. I carry an iPhone as well and i have no plans to put my sim card in that device. In regards to other Android devices, i have used Samsung devices and while Samsung has a great thing going, something always brings me back to Pixels. To wrap up, i really enjoy this phone and dont have any thing bad to say right now.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL delivers an outstanding user experience, boasting a sleek design, vibrant 6.8-inch OLED display, and powerful performance powered by Google’s latest Tensor G4 chip. Its camera system excels with AI-enhanced features, producing crisp, true-to-life photos in various lighting conditions. Battery life is solid, comfortably lasting a full day with moderate use, and 5G support ensures fast connectivity. While a premium price tag and no expandable storage may deter some, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a top contender for Android enthusiasts seeking flagship quality.

Excellent size and very fast! Much better than my previous Pixel 7 Pro. Fast fingerprint, 8k photos, long battery life, etc. Definitely would recommend.

I traded in my s24 ultra for this phone and I have absolutely no regrets. The camera is Amazing, the phone is crazy fast for my daily tasks. I do not game or do anything graphic intensive so that's not a concern for me. I know everyone is all about benchmarks, but Google doesn't build the pixels trying to be the best in benchmarks. They design and build the phones to work with their own chips. Trust me the phone is fast. Battery life has been amazing, better than my Samsung 24 ultra, the screen is awesome and the fingerprint scanner is fast and super reliable even with a screen protector on and I do not have sensitivity turned on. Overall build quality to camera to software, have to say one of the best phones I've owned.

Coming from a Pixel 8... This is a massive upgrade. My 8 I had to run in battery saver for it to last 24hrs. This 9 Pro XL easily lasts me over 24 hours on a charge with plenty of battery to spare. Of course your battery life may vary due to usage, but comparing to my 8 this is much better. Oh and I'm never running battery saver on this phone. Runs much smoother than my 8, great battery, perfect size, and the quality feels much improved over my 8. Both the rear and front cameras are a big improvement as well. I'm beyond happy with the phone, I actually much prefer my Pixels over Samsung and I was a VERY long time Samsung fanboy. If you're on Samsung make the switch.

This phone FEELS great in the hand. It's got a great weight it it and the display is fantastic. Highly recommend getting a case for this phone cause as great as it feels, it also feels delicate. Camera is one of the most impressive cameras I have ever seen on a phone before. Phone in general is super fast and responsive. The battery life is impressive. I can go almost 2 days before I need to charge it on normal use. If you like Android devices, I highly recommend you consider getting this phone.

These new models have great cameras and will eventually get Android 15 but are largely a good platform for Google's Gemini AI assistant. This Pixel series comfortably competes against the best from Apple and Samsung. With tensor G4 processor, fantastic cameras, and a host of AI skills with Gemini Advanced, it is truly amazing. Apart from the camera, there is a lot to like about Pixel 9. The best is the classy new design. I just bought google Phone for the first time, and it has to be its design and camera and AI features. Will see how google improves and builds upon these features going forward.

Really happy with my phone, battery works for the whole day even after a lot of usage (8+ hours screen time). Amazing camera and ai features.

The best Pixel phone so far. Having used Pixel 7, I can tell this is the best Google phone so far, with most of the quirks of previous Pixels fixed in this iteration, including infuriating fingerprint sensors, heating issues, network/signal issues, and somehow unpleasant pictures (maybe mine was a lemon camera setup on the 7; compared to my S22 and S23+ ) on the Pixel 7. I was stuck with a few months old fully paid S23+ and was looking to get rid for a meager few hundred bucks and then this phone deal showed up. I immediately grabbed the deal, and on release day, traded in my S23+ at a local bestbuy along with a free $200 gift card, which made the Pixel 9 Pro XL completely free, and also made some profit with the gift card. I'm loving this phone and really glad I was able to score one. With all major previous Pixel issues fixed, this phone feels phenomenal; really high quality, flagship level, with the looks of the top of the line iPhone, and the best part is the gigantic 16 GB RAM (plus free 1 year of Gemini advanced, if you care). Fingerprint scanner works flawlessly, and is really quick; doesn't heat up; cameras are almost awesome, giving out great pictures. Videos and CPU may not be as great as Apple's, but still more than sufficient for almost everyone; you'll hardly feel any difference when it comes to performance. Only gripe is the terribly slow auto-focus with close-up shots, specially when scanning bar codes. For instance, when scanning bar codes of a driver license/id, you'd need luck for it to actually scan fast. My more than 5 different id/license barcode scans usually took multiple attempts for a successful scan, and sometimes taking upto a minute or longer also, and you'd actually have to try bringing the id closer and farther away for focus to work, which sucks if you have to do this as part of your job. My previous S22 and S23+ worked flawlessly when scanning barcodes, with fast close-up autofocus. If you don't care for barcode scans, then this phone is definitely one of the best, and I highly recommend this phone, maybe not for the full price, but when great deals pop up, try grabbing one.

I’ve been using the Pixel 9 Pro XL, and it’s a powerhouse. The display is huge and super sharp, perfect for watching videos or gaming. Performance is really fast, and everything runs smoothly. The camera is top-notch, taking amazing photos in all conditions, especially with the extra zoom. Battery life is solid, but it still might need a top-up by the end of the day if you're a heavy user. It's definitely expensive, but if you want a big screen and an incredible camera, it's worth it.

I purchased this phone used, but in excellent condition. It arrived two days earlier than the estimated delivery date, which was nice. The phone itself is excellent! The cameras are amazing, and the display is captivating. Google phones have great features, my favorite being call screening. I wish the battery life and speakers were a bit better.

Ive been a Pixel user for 6 years now. The screen is finally a good size and aspect ratio....very comparable to iPhone. The battery last longer than ever. Very smooth and fast experience with apps. Excellent camera zoom. This phone really has no compromises unlike previous generations. Highly recommend.

I would say go get this phone because it's basically free at Best buy right now with there trade in offers let me explain... So I traded in my iPhone 14 pro max best buy gave me 520 trade value for it then Google gave additional 579 since I was buying a pixel so so far (1,099) then on top of that best buy also gives you a 200 dollar gift card for buy the new pixel so in total I got (1,299) the cost of the phone and a case was (1,211 ) so I got the phone and case for free as well as walk away with some I have receipts if anyone wants to see but to the review lol Pros: 1. Display Quality 2. Camera Performance 3. Software Experience (Stock Android) 4. AI 5. Battery Life Improved battery life with faster charging 6. Build Quality Premium build with water and dust resistance (IP68 rating). Cons 1. Price 2. Storage Options: Limited storage options without expandable memory, which might be a downside for some 3. Availability: I had to go to 4 different best buys on launch day to find one hopefully this will improve over time 4. Design: the colors this year just don't seem to pop as much as the pixel 8 or even the 7 5. Performance While it performs well, some might find it lacking compared to the S24 Ultra's performance 6. Battery life I know shocking it's on both my pros and cons but here's why "I've been using the Pixel 9 XL for a few days now, and honestly, it's good for the average user ( most people ) but I'm a heavy user and 80% of my work is from my phone so the battery life is pretty disappointing. Despite the improvements Google claimed, I still find myself scrambling for a charger by 5 pm Even with moderate use, the battery drains faster than I expected. It's frustrating having to constantly worry about my phone dying, especially when I'm out and about. I was hoping for a longer-lasting battery, but this just doesn't cut it for a flagship device." Especially at this higher price point Hopefully they will fix it with software update finger crossed

I moved from pixel 7 to 9 pro XL, and this phone is significantly better. Screen is super bright and fingerprint scan works much faster. Battery is great, I charge once ever 24 hours for 30 minutes. No connectivity issues. Software is awesome as usual. i haven't even gotten to using AI features yet but this phone is already awesome. I also love the new design that's easy to hold.

This Pixel 9 Pro XL is a fantastic smartphone with exceptional camera quality, delivering stunning photos in all lighting conditions. Its sleek design, vibrant display, and smooth performance make it a pleasure to use. The battery life is impressive, and the integration with Google's ecosystem is seamless. Overall, it's a top-tier device that stands out in the market.

Finally a match for Apple. Fluid and smooth display. Plenty bright indirect sunlight. Gemini AI is improving and can help with many of the task. Camera as usual is top notch. Battery life is respectable if not spectacular. Can last whole day with heavy use. Plenty of RAM for multitasking and AI operations.
