The Amazon Spring Sale brings a major discount on what is arguably the smartest Android phone of the year. The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, with its new Gemini AI features, brighter 6.8-inch display and refined design, is now $250 off—down from $1,199 to just $949 for the 256GB version. That’s a 21% discount on one of the most AI-forward smartphones available right now.

This is the first time we’re seeing the 256GB version of the Pixel 9 Pro XL dip so low on Amazon. The discount makes the device much more competitive against similarly priced flagships like the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra—especially considering that the Pixel already came with premium features for a lower price point.

But there's more to the 9 Pro XL than just its AI smarts. The phone generally feels like a well-rounded phone. So, whether you’re coming from an older Pixel or a different Android altogether, this is an upgrade that feels genuinely modern.

More about the Pixel 9 Pro XL:

During our Pixel 9 Pro XL review, it felt like the first phone truly built around AI. You get exclusive features like Reimagine photo editing, Auto Frame, and Add Me—AI tools that elevate your images and simplify creative work. Gemini also plays a big role in organizing your emails, generating to-do lists, and assisting with your calls.

In terms of its new design, the Pixel 9 Pro XL comes with flat aluminum sides, a matte glass back, IP68 protection, and a durable body that’s easier to grip and more resistant to drops.

The display is a standout with Pixels, and it's no different with the 9 Pro XL. The phone has a 6.8-inch OLED panel that reached over 2,000 nits of brightness in our tests, making it the brightest screen we've ever tested at PhoneArena.

Performance-wise, the Tensor G4 chip still lags behind Snapdragon and Apple chips in raw power, but it runs cooler than before and excels at handling AI tasks. There’s 16GB of RAM under the hood, a part of which is dedicated solely to AI performance.

The Pixel’s camera setup hasn’t changed much in terms of hardware, but Google has added meaningful upgrades in software. The main 50MP sensor, the ultra-wide camera, and 5X telephoto zoom are all solid, and now faster at capturing low-light shots, with new features like real-time portrait mode.

Battery life is solid too. With a 5,060mAh cell, the Pixel 9 Pro XL hit 18 hours and 52 minutes of web browsing in our test—better than its predecessor. It also supports faster 37W charging, reaching 63% in 30 minutes, and has 21W wireless charging (with a Pixel Stand).
