While this isn’t the first time we’ve seen an Android phone with 16GB of RAM, what’s noteworthy here is that it’s paired with only 256GB of storage. Typically, manufacturers pair higher RAM with higher-tier storage options like 1TB.
The reason for this choice isn’t clear yet, but it might be related to the increasing demands of on-device AI functionalities. Google has heavily focused on AI in recent Pixel iterations, and 16GB of RAM should help ensure these AI features run smoothly on the device.
Beyond the memory bump, the Pixel 9 Pro XL appears set to adopt Samsung’s latest Exynos 5400 baseband chip. It will replace the Exynos 5300 in the Pixel 8 series.
Samsung states that this chip supports the 3GPP Release 17 standard, enabling peak data transfer rates of up to 14.79Gbps. Exynos 5400 is also rumored to enable satellite communication features for the Pixel 9 smartphones.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL brings back the “XL” branding for the first time since the Pixel 4 XL in 2019. It’s expected to boast a stunning 6.7-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and sharp 1344 x 2992 resolution, all protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Around the back, the device will feature a triple camera setup with three 50MP sensors for the primary, wide-angle, and telephoto lenses. The telephoto lens is expected to offer up to 5x optical zoom. Keeping the device powered up will be a 5050mAh battery that will support 30W wired charging.Pixel 9 Pro XL has highest RAM of any Pixel and new Samsung modem capable of delivering 14.7 Gbps
