Google Pixel

DxOMark, a French company specializing in benchmarking consumer electronics, has published the test results of Google Pixel 9. The flagship Android phone scored 154 points in the camera tests, achieving 1st position in the firm's "Premium" ranking and 7th in the "Global." It also got respectable scores on the display tests.

French benchmarking firm DxOMark has revealed the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL test scores. The top-of-the-line Android flagship from Google has ranked 2nd in camera, 1st in display, and 4th in selfie.

Google has returned to its 'XL' naming scheme after a five-year gap. Succeeding the Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro XL offers various improvements over its predecessor, not least a larger and brighter display that can now reach 3,000 nits.

Google has finally announced the Pixel 9 family of smartphones, and, while the Pixel 9 may look quite different on the outside, the new benchmark Android phone only received a minor upgrade to its internals. Chief among those are an upgraded ultrawide camera, a new, brighter, 6.3-inch Actua OLED display, a slightly larger battery, and Google's new Tensor G4 SoC with 50% more RAM.

Google has stolen a march on Apple by releasing the Pixel 9 Pro, its attempt at creating a compact flagship smartphone. While Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi's equivalents still ship with 3x telephoto cameras, Google has equipped the Pixel 9 Pro with the same 5x telephoto found in the larger Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Google has now opened pre-orders for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, its second-generation foldable. Arriving alongside a slew of other new Pixel devices, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is 10.5 mm thick, has a 5x telephoto camera and a pair of 120 Hz displays, among other features.
