- A Ukrainian YouTuber has posted a nearly 20-minute review of the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.
- However, the model he has is a design sample and is never shown with the display turned on, likely because it doesn’t actually boot.
- Regardless, we get many great shots of the phone’s design and a good idea of its size.
Google is going to launch the Pixel 9 series on August 13. We expect to see the vanilla Pixel 9 alongside a similarly sized Pixel 9 Pro. In addition, there will almost certainly be a larger Pro model called the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Finally, there will be a foldable version known as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Today, three weeks ahead of time, we have a video review of the Pixel 9 Pro XL.
The review (in Ukrainian, mirrored above) shows what appears to be a late-stage design sample of the Pixel 9 Pro XL. You can tell it is not a retail unit by the interesting geometric design that appears below the “G” logo on the back of the phone. Since it’s almost certainly a design sample, the YouTuber never shows the device in a powered-on state, likely because the phone doesn’t boot into Android (or doesn’t even turn on at all).
