Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus


The Pixel 9 Pro XL might sound like a new addition to the family, since we’ve never had a ‘Pro XL’ Pixel before this, but it’s actually the Pixel 9 Pro that’s the new addition with its smaller screen size. The 9 Pro XL is the direct successor to the 8 Pro, but with a higher price tag and a few improvements.

Starting at $1,099, the Pixel 9 Pro XL goes up against a formidable rival — the Galaxy S24 Plus. Both phones come with the same level of software update commitment, very useful AI features, premium designs, and great cameras. Picking just one is a tough call, but that’s where we come in. Let’s compare both to see which one would be the most practical choice.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus: Design

Design is usually a subjective matter, but I think most will agree that the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL has a more head-turning look. It’s something brand new and we don’t have this aesthetic anywhere outside the Pixel 9 series. We’ve seen the look of the Galaxy S24 Plus on previous models and Samsung’s cheaper series too. It’s clean and simple, which some might actually prefer. Regardless of which design catches your fancy, you can expect excellent build quality on both with premium materials like glass and aluminum.

In terms of ease of use though, the Galaxy has the upper hand here as it’s way lighter and slimmer than the Pixel. We’re talking 7.7mm versus 8.5mm in thickness, and 197g versus 221g in weight. The S24 Plus does have sharper corners which we found to be a little painful when holding it. The Pixel 9 Pro XL feels better in the hand, in our experience. Both get the IP68 rating for proper dust and water-proofing.

The Galaxy S24 Plus and Pixel 9 Pro XL have nearly the same screen sizes. The Pixel has a 6.8-inch Super Actua OLED display with a crisp 2,992×1,344 resolution. It gets a variable refresh rate of 1-120Hz, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for scratch protection, and a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits. The display looks great in general and gets plenty bright too. However, Google is stuck on the 240Hz PWM dimming rate which can result in severe headaches for those sensitive to this, as our resident Pixel reviewer quickly found out.
