Both displays are approximated to 6.3", but the display of Pixel 9 Pro is indeed slightly larger. And it has around 0.3 mm slimmer bezels on all sides.

    Pumpino, 16 Aug 2024This is basically the 9a, which is why it has large bezels.... moreNo it's not 9a equivalent. It has the same size as 9 pro

        Large bezels, no LTPO, bulky and too expensive. Just get an S24, which is better and cheaper.

            I wonder if gsmarena will list Huawei Pura 70, iPhone 13 Pro max and galaxy S22Ultra as alternatives.

              Anonymous, 17 Aug 2024Could be worse like 90 or 120Hz seen from some chinese flagships Like Honor magic 6 pro maybe, which has above 4000? Or Xiaomi 14 which has DC dimming mode? Chinese phones are the best if we look PWM dimming or charging speed. Nobody even close. Same goes for chipsets, TSMC is run by Chinese people's to. Qualcomm is just a designer. On the other hand, western companies are number 1 in software department.

                  The red recording LED inside the camera bump is a really cool touch, wish more phones had that so that everybody can feel safe that nobody's is recording them.

                    PureOS, 16 Aug 2024Good luck with 240 hz PWM dimming.That's great. People will look less often at the smartphone screen and this is good for their health 👍

                              Shocked but also not very shocked that they have a positive review scheme for the pixel series . Advance access to the phone but not allowed to be critical. Check out MKBHD!

                                GregLu, 16 Aug 2024Those black bezels with the case 😭This is basically the 9a, which is why it has large bezels. Most people will want the Pro or Pro XL. That said, I suspect that the early release will mean fewer people upgrade (they may not have had their Pixel 8s for very long) and the smart ones will wait for the 10 series with the new chip.

                                  It's rather strange: the bezels are visibly wider compared to the Pro model, but the specs page shows an identical width to the Pixel 9 Pro and the same size screen. One of those must be wrong.

                                    Mediocre google phone nobody buys.

                                    Not even fake positive review would help the sales.

                                        Let me guess

                                        Still slow

                                        Still inefficient

                                        Still 128GB of slow memory

                                        Still "AI specialized" yet worse at AI than Snapdragon anyway
