I was hesitant to switch from apple but I don't think I'm going back to apple.
The phone feels like an iPhone in hand but there are so many cool features the pixel has that you could never use on the iPhone. Camera quality is great also.
Battery life is very dependable.

Signal quality and call quality are superb. Camera is two steps up from the Pixel 7, visibly more accurate color than Samsung 25. Battery life is excellent. Get one now before tariffs double the price!

I'm really enjoying this new phone. It's so much faster than any phone I've had previously. Yes, new technology and all. Still an amazing phone. I haven't even gotten into everything it can do yet. But I am enjoying it. This has an amazing battery life. Usually you can go a day and only spend 50% of the battery.

I switch from a galaxy s21 plus, and I love it. The widgets are fun, the battery life lasts me over a day, the haptics are crisp when typing or tapping through notifications. Overall this is the perfect phone for me right now. My favorite thing is that the battery life lasts me for over a day with what I would call fairly heavy usage.

Amazing phone. It's the iPhone of androids. The screen is clear and compared to the prior Pixels, the build quality feels amazing in hand. People have also complained about the Exynos chip in this phone but it is screaming fast so far.

Excellent phone. Battery is amazing, going on 36hrs without a charge right now. Camera is flawless. I'm coming from a pixel 6 pro and this phone is definitely an upgrade. Feels and looks premium. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Pixel is great — App support is the problem

Coming from a decade long iphone user I was nervous to switch. It took about 2-3 weeks to get fully comfortable and adjusted. AI features are miles ahead of Apple including their AI image editing built-in. My complaints are actually not related to the phone itself at all, it's actually the apps. Most of the apps I use are programmed for iOS and then repackaged for Android OS compatibility. In short, they do not typically perform as well when they're just a ported build instead of built from the ground up for Android. Again, this isn't a fault of Google or the phone, but the developers of the apps.
The only thing I will complain about related to the phone is the Messages suck big time. However, I knew that going in and have been a long-time Telegram/Whatsapp user. But whenever I do need to use messages it's always something I put off because the experience is so meh.
Ultimately, I will be switching back to iPhone but only because developers build iOS first and for my workflow I need the superior compatibility. If it wasn't for that, I would have been a long-term Pixel user and upgraded to the next Pixel Fold release.

I traded in my pixel 7 pro for 400 and received a 200 dollar credit from best buy. So that was worth it in itself. It's a nice phone. Bright and fast. The copilot AI is nice too. I have this phone paired with my Lenovo yoga 7 fory graphic art company

While not the most powerful phone out there by any means, if what you're looking for is a great software experience paired with adequate performance, amazing battery life, and a top-notch camera, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is what you're looking for.

Overall, very happy with this phone. Great screen, great UI, great camera. Pretty much what you would expect from modern Pixels. Battery life is good, not great. A big upgrade from the Pixel 8. One red flag I've noticed is I was playing a game and it wouldn't render an audio player properly at the same time. Hopefully this will be fixed in a software update.

Not the biggest upgrade from the pixel 8, but the new ai feature are great. Great pictures and editing tools. Better integration of Google Android. Just a fluid software system.

upgrade from pixel 7 pro

I'll start with the improvements from my pixel 7 pro.
1. Battery life- this was my biggest gripe with my 7 pro "the smartest android phone is pretty useless in my books if it has to be on a charger 50% of the time.
2. Charging speed- while oneplus has 80w wired charging and 50 watt wireless charging it can literally charge faster wirelessly than the pixel can wired. That said the 9 pro xl can charge from 0-100% in a little over an hour.
3. features- I may be one of the only people who don't care about camera quality but the gemini feature will be interesting to see how I can incorporate it into my daily life.
4. Flat screen I hate the curved screen trend and im happy it's finally starting to die out.
Overall I'd give the phone 9/10 45W charging would have been nice.

It didn't cost a ton. It's not full of bloatware like Samsung phones or LG phones. And it has an amazing camera.
