Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Geekbench score indicates small performance improvement

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL has been spotted on a Geekbench listing with an octa-core processor. The smartphone series is expected to launch globally later this year, replacing the Pixel 8 series. However, speculation is rife that the tech giant will be bucking the trend it has set in previous years by launching a trio of smartphones this year — the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, with the latter likely to be an all-new addition. The recent Geekbench listing suggests the name and sheds light on some of its specifications including RAM and benchmark scores.

Google Pixel 9 Pro XL on Geekbench

The Pixel 9 Pro XL was mention on Geekbench on June 17, just days after the Pixel 9 listing surfaced. Speculation is that this could be the very first mention of the Pixel 9 Pro XL nameplate. The smartphone is said to feature a “komodo” motherboard based on Arm architecture and a “sched_pixel” governor.

According to the listing, the handset will feature 16GB of RAM and run Android 14 out of the box. It is further said to be powered by an octa-core processor with a primary core running at 3.10GHz, three mid-cores running at 2.60GHz, and four cores maxed out at 1.95GHz. Notably, leaks have suggested that this chip could be the Google Tensor G4 SoC.

The listing shows 1,950 points in single-core tests and 4,655 points in multi-core tests, which is slightly better than the Pixel 8 Pro’s 1,751 and 4,384 single- and multi-core scores.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is said to feature a 6.73-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. The handset could come with Android 15 and Tensor G4 SoC along with 16GB of RAM and 128GB of inbuilt storage. According to a previous report, it could ditch the crosshair-style camera module in favor of a pill-shaped bar.

A few months ago, live images of the Pixel 9 series leaked online, showing off a matte back and glossy frame.
