You’ll hear a lot of people talk about how the Google Pixel experience is all about software. Gemini AI was front and centre at this year’s Google Pixel launch but there’s a sizable chunk of upgrades in the hardware department as well. Cameras, design and display are all things where the Google Pixel has the potential to be better than the competition, albeit, the processor still dilly dallies in the face of tough but fair app activities.

We didn’t get to spend more than a week with the Google Pixel so we will update some bits about the phone in the full review, here’s our hands-on impression from using the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL for a week and some.
