Google Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL: Two ‘Pro’ Models For This Generation?
In 2024, Google is likely to revive the ‘XL’ moniker to describe the larger Pixel device. This also suggests that a smaller Pixel 9 Pro might be introduced, similar to Apple’s approach with its Pro devices—offering two models with different screen sizes but similar specifications, except for the battery.
