Community Reviews

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is a strong camera-focused Android phone with solid day-to-day performance and long-term reliability, and it still receives updates after about a year of use. The main appeal is the Pixel experience, but the 128GB version feels cramped because system apps and AI core take a noticeable chunk of storage, leaving roughly 95 to 100GB usable. Reception can also be weaker than an S24 Ultra in fringe 5G areas, and some reports point to serious software bugs, including GPS failures and battery drain. It is a capable phone, but the storage limit and reported software issues matter here.

Common Questions (3)

  • It can be very reliable in daily use, with reports of no overheating or battery glitches and strong overall performance. A separate reported issue is a Pixel battery-drain bug, so battery behavior may depend on the unit and software version.

  • At $649, the 128GB version is seen as less compelling than getting a current-generation 256GB Pixel through US Mobile for about $50 more, or waiting for the Pixel 11/11 Pro series. Some also expect Google to raise prices and drop the 128GB model, which could make this deal more attractive if you need a phone now.

  • 128GB is tight on this model because about 10-12GB is taken by AI core and other unremovable apps, leaving roughly 95-100GB usable. 4K video and high-resolution photos can fill that quickly, so many shoppers will want more storage.

I still have this device after about a year and change - great phone and still getting updates, but you might want more than 128gb because something like 10-12gb is going to go towards "AI core" and a bunch of other unremovable apps

Not such a great deal at 128GB. You can get the current generation of this with 256GB at US Mobile without a plan for only $50 more, though you my have to use it there for 2 months to get it unlocked Also, in another month or two, the next gen Pixel 11 will be out. If you need a phone with a nice camera right away and don't need the memory,this might be a reasonable choice, otherwise you're better off with buying elsewhere or waiting.

For a 2 year old phone with only 128gb this should be $450 max. Hard pass.

Of all the smartphones that I've used since 2007, this is one of them...does everything well. No overheating BS. No battery glitches. The first of the pixels since the 2 XL that just works.

My main issue is that it's reception is a bit weaker than my s24u. The former can't catch 5g c-band (on VZ) when the latter can. The bandwidth isn't a huge difference in those fringes, but it's something.

I have been using 256 gb version since launched, I would recommend to wait for 11 pro series (next month will launch). Min t mobil, googl f i etc does great deals with pixel phones.

I have this exact phone. It's good, but the software glitches are killing the Pixel line. Last month all of my widgets went away (was just fixed this morning) and I've been having a GPS bug for 6 months now where it's basically unusable, 90% of the time it says "searching for GPS". There's also been a huge battery drain issue since the March release with no fix yet.

Frustratingly, my wife's iPhone just works. I can't stand iPhones, so I'll probably be switching to Samsung for my next phone. I like the Pixels just wish Google would do some QA on their software - I'm tired of being their unpaid beta tester.

Google must think their phones are made out of gold and appreciate with age. Motorola will give them a run for their money once the GrapheneOS is integrated into their phones.

Good phone, but why would you pay $650 for it with the 11 coming out next month?

Exactly. I suspect you'll be able to get it for that next month.

Google is rumored to be increasing pricing and getting rid of the 128gb model.

$799 Pixel 10 -> $899 Pixel 11
$999 Pixel 10 Pro -> $1,099 Pixel 11 Pro
$1,199 Pixel 10 Pro XL -> $1,299 Pixel 11 Pro XL
$1,799 Pixel 10 Pro Fold -> $1,899 Pixel 11 Pro Fold

Hmm I guess it's YMMV, because I've had zero of these issues ever and have had pixels for 6 years or so. My last iphone's battery was a total POS so I abandoned them.

Guess I got lucky or it doesn't affect the 8, my battery is rarely even below 40% when I plug it in at the end of day. If my GPS didn't work for 6 months like yours I would be getting a new phone though
