It's hard to choose a favourite feature as the phone looks absolutely fantastic!

Having the knowledge that there's a guarantee of 7 years worth of updates though is definitely my favourite. I don't update my phone very often, but always want the security that it will last more than a few years before becoming completely obsolete 

The new design of the phone looks soooo good 

The new design and camera 😍

The 120hz refresh rate on the display. With the screen size being substantial that will make gaming on the phone really smooth. 

The photo editing features! 

The details and the design looks ace

Add me is clever feature. 

Add me is clever feature

The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor seems to improve speed and reliability, which has always been a minor niggle for me with the previous Pixel in-display sensors.

I am waiting for my Pixel 9 pro xl to arrive today can't wait. Have gone from a Samsung S20 plus. Can't wait to try out the camera with all it's features. Hope it doesn't let me down have always had Samsung.

7 years worth of upgrades is a great offer.

Oh my lord, there is so much great stuff. Camera first, updates next. Or . . .

Has to be battery capacity/charging speed and MASSIVE ram!

Has to be Gemini! Blows any other phones assistant out of the water

The 6.8 screen, looked at Pixels but I prefer bigger screened phones and the Pixels were too small so the 6.8 screen is a winner for me

The camera quality and the battery capacity have yo be a great feature that rivals competition in the field, and excells. 

It's hard to pick just one, but the Pixel 9 Pro XL's 1 million token context window is a game-changer. It allows users to explore and analyze up to 1500 pages of information at once, making it perfect for research, writing, and creative work.

P.S battery screen time exceeding 7 hour on one charge is the biggest upgrade from my pixel 7 pro, which did about 4.5 hours of screen on time on each charge.

Camera is the main thing for me going to be able to take loads of lovely macro pictures and the 7 years of update is another bonus 

100% it’s got to be the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The improvement is incredible.

Best take and magic editor

The large folding screen on the Pixel 9 has to be great.

just switched over to pixel 9 pro xl after 15+ years of using samsung as I loved the camera on the pixel, the design of the phone with the rounder corners vs the sharp corners of the samsungs, less bloat in the OS vs Samsungs OneUI, and just that it is a refreshing change from using the same brand for so many years. Oh also the fact that all android updates will come to googles phones first is a big one too

The absolutely massive screen on the Fold looks like a game changer, amazing for on the go mobile artists. 

The add me feature, now I will be able to join the family in photos

The camera and the ease of use, just converted from Samsung and it’s really refreshing that it doesn’t come loaded with useless apps that you can’t delete!
