Google Pixel 9 vs. Pixel 9 Pro — here's what's different

Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL next to one another.

A Google Pixel 9 vs. Pixel 9 Pro comparison isn't like past face-offs between Google's standard and Pro phones. In previous years, Google's entry level and Pro versions had different sizes for both screens and batteries; the Pro phone also featured a dedicated telephoto lens. But otherwise, you wouldn't find many other differences between the two.

Things have changed with the launch of the Pixel 9. This time around, there are two Pro versions of Google's latest flagship, as a Pixel 9 Pro XL joins the Pixel 9 Pro. The XL gets the larger screen and bigger battery, while the regular Pro shares those features in common with the Pixel 9 — plus the additional telephoto lens and other upgrades.
