Google Pixel 10 Pro XL vs 9 Pro XL | Camera, Gaming, Battery - Which Is Better?

Reviewing Google's Pixel 10 Pro XL with a direct comparison vs last year's mega-sized flagship, the 9 Pro XL. What's new for the camera setup and features, is the gaming experience better and what about that battery life? Here's the Pixel 10 Pro XL laid bare, stay tuned for more Google-shaped videos.

First up, yes, those specs will look familiar if you own last year's supersized smartphone. The camera setup is essentially identical on the Pixel 10 Pro XL, with some AI smart-arsery like Pro Res Zoom chucked on top. Thankfully, like the 9 Pro XL, Google's 2025 flagship spaffs out gorgeous photos and video with minimal effort.

Gaming performance is sadly no better with the Tensor G5 on board. In fact, the Pixel 10 Pro XL judders its way through Wuthering Waves if you touch the graphics settings. Likewise, Genshin Impact's frame rate slumps at times if you max out those visuals.

Battery life is thankfully just as good (if not significantly better) than the 9. You've also got slightly faster Qi 2 wireless charging with the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, vs the 9 Pro XL. Plus, support for Pixel Snap accessories.

So, are you tempted by this fresh 2025 Android? Let us know your thoughts below!
