Google packed the Pixel 9 Pro XL with a punch, as evidenced by its latest leaked specs.

      For me, phones have been more than powerful enough for probably 5 years. I’m predominantly looking for battery life from my new phone, not more power. I think I’d happily use a Pixel 1 processor if it had double the battery life.

        I have had my phone for 7 years now and recently replaced the battery for 20 bucks. I don’t really understand the need for fast af phones when everything already works smooth as butter. What are people doing on their phones that needs that much power?

        This exactly how I looked at my phone. I just got a pixel 8 pro this week upgrading from the pixel 3xl (because I fell for the sale email and got it for $600 lol) I was already considering upgrading as my phone had started acting up and hitching recently and it’s been about 5 years anyway.

        Can’t say I’m a fan of the 8 pros battery life so far in comparison to the pixel 3xl though.
