Google's newest flagship Pixel 9 Pro packs massive upgrades and features unseen on older generations. As a Pixel 7 Pro user, should you upgrade? Find out here!
Over the years, Google has kept us yearning for a true iPhone contender. And it finally comes true with the Google Pixel 9 Pro , which brings a host of compelling changes over the last year’s Pixel 8 Pro. The gap further widens when we compare it to the Pixel 7 Pro .
As stated in our Pixel 9 Pro XL review, the new phones bring a complete design overhaul, and feel like a massive upgrade. The newer design comprises rounder elements, a flat mid-frame, and uniform colors on the sections of metal and glass. The newer Pixel 9 Pro gets a lighter, more ergonomic footprint if you want the same features in a smaller size. Meanwhile, the Pixel 9 Pro XL offers some benefits, including a larger display as big as the Pixel 7 Pro’s. If a bigger display is your priority, the next section details all the ways it has changed since the Pixel 7 Pro.
While both sizes support different resolutions on the display, you can reduce it to 1080p, saving battery. You get LTPO tech underneath that allows for variable refresh rates, ranging between 1Hz and 120Hz. This, again, is implemented to ensure that faster refreshing doesn’t suck out the battery when it’s not needed to.
Google has also upgraded the RAM on the Pixel 9 Pro, upping it from 12GB previously to 16GB. The presence of extra RAM allows you to keep more apps open in the background. Notably, Google reserves roughly three gigs of the 16 for superfast AI processing. So, in essence, you are only getting an additional gigabyte of RAM. Irrespective, the change is welcome and should help the phone stay afloat over the next several years that Google promises to keep it up to date.
The two Pixel 9 Pro variants differ is in terms of their battery capacities and charging speeds. The smaller Pixel 9 Pro comes with a 4,700mAh battery while the bigger one comes with a 5,060mAh cell. The latter is identical to the battery capacity on the Pixel 7 Pro. Google Pixel 9 Pro vs. Pixel 7 Pro: cameras Pixel phones derive their names from the camera, and have consistently impressed in this regard despite other deficits. The Pixel 7 Pro was able to capture incredible photos with all three cameras, and the Pixel 9 Pro only improves upon them.
Several months later, Digital Trends’ Mark Jansen still couldn’t get rid of the bugs entirely, which made him wish he never bought the Pixel 7 Pro. The bugs continued to plague some units even after the Android 14 update last year.
