With the future generation of Google smartphones, I recognize that The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the one that appeals to me the most…unless, of course, the tech company decides to bring the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to our country. And as we told you a few months ago, the ninth generation aims to be the most extensive model-wise to hit the market so far. Here’s a quick reminder of them:

• Pixel 9: codename “Tokay”. Replaces Pixel 8. Run in October 2024.
• Pixel 9 Pro: code name “Caiman”. A new proposalwith the specs of the 9 Pro but the size of the Pixel 9. Listed in October 2024.
• Pixel 9 Pro XL: codename “Komodo”. Replaces Pixel 8 Pro. Run in October 2024.
• Pixel 9 Pro Fold: codename “Comet”. Replaces Pixel Fold. Run in October 2024.
• Pixel 9a: no known code name. Replaces Pixel 8a. Run in May 2025.

Nothing less than five models with which Google intends to attract more potential users in this way to maintain the organic growth that it has been showing for some time and which is largely maintained by those who already use them and pass on their good experiences to their personal circles.

Yes, it is true that generation 9 aims to be quite interesting considering the variety of models that will make it up, but we do not expect a big evolutionary leap from the current one, perhaps with the exception of the folding one, since in this case we will see a jump in two generations of its SoC, as it will go from the Tensor G2 model introduced in May of last year to the Tensor G4, which will debut with all models that will be announced in October. Yes, for the tenth generation, which arrives next year, we expect a substantial improvement and that It will be the first to have a Tensor chip made by TSMC.

Be that as it may, the launch of new models is slowly but inexorably approaching, and of course, as usual, the results of performance tests are emerging in advance. And as an example of this in the last hours We could see the Pixel 9 Pro XL in Geekbench 6.3where a score of 1,950 in single-core and 4,655 in multi-core is recorded, except for confirmation andI jump up to 16 gigabytes of RAM. For comparison, you can see the increase over the Pixel 8 Pro below this paragraph

This is not, as we expected, a huge jump in performance, although there is an obvious improvement, especially in multithreading. Furthermore, it should be reminded again that the bet from Google doesn’t focus on brute force as much as it does on optimizationthat is, in which the operating system and its components can get the most out of the device’s components, and it’s something they’ve already demonstrated great mastery at.
