Apple iPhone Air / Google Pixel 9 Pro XL

Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than the rectangular measurement.

LTPO lets the panel drop as low as 1 Hz with static content to save battery and rise to 120 Hz when scrolling; Google notes 120 Hz is not available in every app. The 2000-nit HDR figure is measured with the whole screen lit, the 3000-nit peak with 5% of the screen lit.

The panel varies its rate with the content, keeping scrolling smooth and lowering the rate for still images and Always-On to save power.

3000 nits is a short-term peak reached in strong sunlight, not a sustained full-screen brightness.

GSMArena reports the frame is grade 5 titanium.

The A19 Pro in the iPhone 17 Pro models uses a 6-core GPU; the Air's version has 5 GPU cores.

Titan M2 is a security chip that handles sensitive operations such as passcode and lock-screen verification separately from the main processor.

Apple says a standard setup uses about 12–24 GB for iOS and deletable apps, and Apple Intelligence models about 7 GB. GSMArena reports 12 GB of RAM in all versions; Apple does not publish RAM size.

There is a single rear camera; the 2x view uses the centre of the 48 MP sensor rather than a separate telephoto lens. There is no ultrawide or macro camera.

Video Boost processes footage on Google’s cloud servers to improve night and 8K recordings, so the processed result is not instant and needs an internet connection.

Center Stage automatically widens and shifts the frame, allowing landscape-style framing while holding the phone upright.

With the separately sold iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, video playback rises to 40 hours. Apple does not give capacity in mAh; GSMArena reports 3149 mAh.

No adapter is included; the box has a 1 m USB-C cable.

MagSafe needs a 30 W or higher adapter for 20 W.

The USB 2 speed slows wired transfers of large video files to a computer.

Wi-Fi 7 availability varies by country; Thread connects to compatible smart-home devices.

mmWave 5G support is not listed.

Physical SIM cards cannot be used; eSIM needs carrier support.

Satellite features work only in supported countries; some require a carrier plan.

Tested under lab conditions; resistance is not permanent and liquid damage is not covered by warranty.

Camera Control adjusts exposure, depth, zoom and styles with a slide.

The thickness is for the body and excludes the camera plateau.

According to GSMArena's review, the phone went on sale in September 2025 with iOS 26.

IP68 is the dust and water resistance class under IEC 60529; Google notes the protection is not permanent and can weaken with wear, repair or damage.

Storage is chosen at purchase and cannot be expanded; there is no memory card slot.

Google lists 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x as optical-quality zoom; the range up to 30x is software-assisted digital zoom. The wide and telephoto cameras have optical + electronic stabilisation, and there is a multi-zone laser autofocus sensor.

No charger is included; the box has a USB 2.0 USB-C cable. Google notes Battery Share noticeably reduces the phone’s own battery life.

Wi-Fi 7 gives higher speed and lower latency on the 6 GHz band with a compatible router; the Indian version supports only Wi-Fi 6 (2.4/5 GHz). The USB-C port runs at USB 3.2 speed, but the bundled cable is USB 2.0.

Dual-band satellite positioning helps reduce errors from signals reflected between tall buildings.

Satellite SOS is offered only in the US and is free for the first two years; Car Crash Detection is not available in every country or language.
