This is the biggest Pixel lineup we've ever seen from Google. The good news is that all three phones are powered by the latest Tensor G4 CPU, which is built to support all the new Google AI features. Although the Pixel 9 now comes with a $100 price hike over what the Pixel 8 cost, it does sport better cameras and a bigger battery than its predecessor. In fact, the Pixel 9 has a lot in common with the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL.

As for the Pro models, the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL have different screen and battery sizes, but apart from that they're essentially the same. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL both have a dedicated telephoto lens — a 48MP sensor that delivers a 5x optical zoom, with 10x optical quality shots also available. Pixel 9 Pro owners also get a one-year subscription to Gemini Advanced along with 2TB of storage. Gemini Advanced integrates the chatbot directly into Gmail and Google Docs. 

Still undecided? Make sure to check out our Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL hands on review for our initial thoughts on the new phones.
