The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the largest model in Google's new lineup, measuring a sizeable 6.8 inches diagonally. It's packed with the latest, greatest tech Google has to offer, but it has stiff competition in the big phone arena. Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra also measures 6.8 inches and is one of the best phones we've reviewed this year. So how do these two premium handsets compare? Let's take a closer look at the specs.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Specs vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: Big Phone Battle

After the Pixel Fold landed to mixed reception last year, Google is taking another swing at a folding phone. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold doubles down on the productivity benefits of a large inner display and features Google’s newest and best AI features. However, the latest expensive Pixel phone still lacks the photo features of the Pixel 9 Pro series.

It’s been too long since Apple updated the iPhone selfie camera with a 12MP sensor. Since then, the company’s only improvements were software-related, with Photonic Engine and updates to Smart HDR.
While the iPhone 16 will be the first to bring an Apple Intelligence approach, only the iPhone 17 models will add the selfie camera upgrades users have long been waiting for. According to Haitong Securities analyst Jeff Pu, the 2025 iPhone 17 models will get a 24MP sensor with six plastic lens elements.
In comparison, the current iPhone 15 lineup has a 12MP front camera with five plastic lens elements. That...

Last week, I got the scoop on publicly traded fintech Payoneer acquiring Singaporean startup Skuad for $61 million in cash, with the potential to pay up to $81 million. This was a pretty fast exit for Skuad founder Sundeep Sahi, who launched the company in 2019 with the aim of simplifying international hiring and had raised $19 million in venture funding. Both Payoneer and Skuad are geared toward SMBs that operate internationally, particularly in emerging markets. Notably, rather than build out the tech itself, Payoneer decided to acquire Skuad and integrate its payroll and contract management products into its own offering.

Google announced a new image generation app during its Pixel 9 event today. The company says the app, called Pixel Studio, will come preinstalled on every Pixel 9 device. Pixel Studio, much like Apple’s forthcoming Image Playground app that’s set to roll out on iOS 18 at some point after the operating system launches, lets you create an image from a prompt. Users can edit images after the fact, using the prompt box to add or subtract elements and change the feel or style of the picture.

We may earn a commission when you click links to retailers and purchase goods. For so many years we begged Google to make a smartwatch and for as many years they were rumored to be making one, only to reportedly cancel at the final hour on at least once occasion. It’s wild to think that we haven’t had to resume that begging for 3 full years now, because Google is already on their 3rd edition of the Pixel Watch. Today, Google announced the Pixel Watch 3.
