The tech community is abuzz with the recent Geekbench listing of the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, revealing key specifications of the upcoming device. Expected to launch globally later this year, the Pixel 9 Pro XL will join the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, marking a departure from Google’s usual two-device strategy.
Launch of Google Pixel 9 Pro XL on Geekbench
On June 17, the Pixel 9 Pro XL made its debut on Geekbench, just days after the Pixel 9 appeared. This listing marks the first time the Pixel 9 Pro XL moniker has been mentioned. The smartphone features a “komodo” motherboard based on Arm architecture and a “sched_pixel” governor, indicating its robust design.
According to the Geekbench listing, the Pixel 9 Pro XL will come with 16GB of RAM and will run on Android 14. It’s powered by an octa-core processor, with a primary core clocked at 3.10 GHz, three mid-cores at 2.60 GHz, and four cores capped at 1.95 GHz. This configuration hints at the new Google Tensor G4 SoC. Benchmark scores show a slight improvement over the Pixel 8 Pro, with the Pixel 9 Pro XL scoring 1,950 points in single-core tests and 4,655 points in multi-core tests, compared to the Pixel 8 Pro’s 1,751 and 4,384 points, respectively.
Specifications of Google Pixel 9 Pro XL (Expectations)
The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is rumored to feature a 6.73-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals. It may ship with Android 15 and the new Tensor G4 SoC. The device is expected to include 16GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
Interestingly, previous reports suggest that Google may ditch the visor-shaped camera module in favor of a sleek, pill-shaped bar, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the Pixel 9 Pro XL.
