All the camera, AI and performance of Google’s top Android squeezed into a
tighter body
The Pixel 9 Pro is a rare beast: a smaller phone that keeps the same bold
design, specs and camera as Google’s biggest and most expensive model. It makes
it an instant contender for the best small phone going.
At £999 (€1,099/$999/A$1,699), it is cheaper than its larger Pixel 9 Pro XL
sibling but still firmly in the high-end bracket. What sets it apart is the
6.3in screen is significantly tighter than the monster 6.7in-plus sizes you
usually need to get the very best hardware.
