Google is slated to announce the Pixel 9 series next month, which includes the Pixel 9 Pro XL. For the first time, Google is slated to use both the “Pro” and “XL” monikers for this phone. And now we’re seeing a short hands on video of the device from YTechB who has posted a short 29 second video of it. And also comparing it’s size to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

They are also comparing it to the regular Google Pixel 9, which you can tell the difference based on how wide the camera window is on the back. Obviously, the Pixel 9 has a dual-camera setup, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL has a triple-camera setup. Otherwise, the two are identical aside from the size. Though the Pixel 9 Pro XL does sport a matte finish on the side rails, while the Pixel 9 has a glossy finish. Similar to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro from last year.

Pixel 9 Pro XL is about the same size as the Galaxy S24 Ultra

In this next video, we can see the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL side-by-side with the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It looks to be about the same size, though the Galaxy S24 Ultra is more squared off versus the Pixel here. As the Pixel does have much more rounded corners than usual. Those that like large phones are going to love the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL does also include ultra-wideband, something that the base model does not have. Which has been the case over the last few years with Pixel devices, so no real surprises here. Google is likely using ultra-wideband to beef up its Find My Device network, as it is rumored to be included in the Pixel Watch 3. That smartwatch just recently got certified, and it included UWB. This is a feature that Samsung has been adding to its phones and wearables for the past few years – since the Galaxy S20. So good to see it launching on even more devices.
