The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is almost here now. You’ll be shocked to learn about its features, and the leaks are pouring in the trailer. 

A new video that has been recently uploaded by the company, shows the Pixel 9 Pro XL next to the Pixel 8 Pro.

Undoubtedly, it reveals big design changes. TikTok user @pixo_unpacking posted a video comparing the two smartphones. 

The only similarity between them is that they both have glossy side rails and matte black finishes. The Pixel 9 Pro XL has more rounded corners, which we first noticed on the Pixel 8a. 

However, the side rails of the phone are flat, like that of Apple’s iPhone design. Unlike previous models, the camera bar is now matte and ends before the phone’s edges. 

In the video, the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 8 Pro are almost the same size. Earlier comparisons with the Pixel 3 XL suggested the new phone would be bigger, but that’s not true. 

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is just slightly larger. Google will release the Pixel 9 Pro XL and other Pixel 9 models on August 13. 

Just a few weeks away! The Pixel 9 Pro XL brings big design changes. It is about the same size as the Pixel 8 Pro, but it looks different.
