I purchased the pixel 8 pro recently from Argos in the UK for 350 pound,now I'm running android 16 beta on it and it's a great handset,no issues at all,I can't imagine the 9 pro XL is much better.From my usage I haven't noticed any issue at all around signal or excessive heat buildup ,it runs fantastic and battery life is not an issue it gives five hours screen time with charge left over.The camera is very impressive especially with motion snaps.I got the 128gb version as I use Google photos and it's plenty of storage for me.

With 7 major updates, hoping to use the phone for at least 4.
Being on a contract, I just jump 2 models, let's see what Pixel 10 offers.
Changing phones is a hassle ..

Thank you for the comparison. I disagree with other commenters that comparing similar models is useless. On the contrary, comparing similar models is very important, when deciding whether it is worth getting a newer/better model for the price difference, or not. Please continue with these great reviews. Good job.

For **** sake GSM Arena please stop comparing same phones, these series is quite embarrassing. Compare phones from different competitors not same brand which barely improves anything from year to year like Google, which cannot even make proper phones, no one cares about Google crap.

Not a single thing about how hot it gets.... just like pixel 6 and 7.
I had 7a, it was really nice compact phone, but in summer when there is 30-40*C it get so hot after 5min that it automatically dim screen to 25% if you are outside and even if you use case you feel the heat.
Now I have Pixel 8 and it have the same exact problem. And people having 9 saying the same thing: phone get super hot and after few minutes outside, screen get dimmed due to heat.

What about overheating? I've experienced overheating and automatic shut down in my 8 pro several times. The 9 has supposedly fixed this with the new chip.

I almost upgraded, but my mum smashed her Pixel 6 Pro when pre-order bonuses ended ... so she will have to wait for my Pixel 8 Pro year later when I won't even care for some better deals and just buy it because it will truly be an upgrade and not just a tiny revision.

Well it might not worth to upgrade to the 9 Pro XL from the 8 Pro, but it is surely worth the upgrade from the good old Pixel 6 Pro to this one. :)
