Google's Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL: A big bet on AI

Google is launching a one-two punch with its new Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The pair shares a sleek, redesigned look, a powerful Tensor G4 chip, and a suite of AI-powered features, but offers a choice between a compact 6.3-inch and a larger 6.8-inch display.

Both models boast IP68 water resistance and a vibrant colour palette, including a striking rose quartz option.
