After using the iPhone16 Pro Max and Pixel 9 Pro XL side-by-side for a week, I found each has its own strengths, but they have a lot in common too.

According to a new report, Google’s cost for producing a PIxel 9 Pro is just over $400, which might be lower than the previous generation.

Google launched the Pixel 9 series back in August, and it turns out the Pixel 9 Pro XL was a top ten performer in Q3 2024.

Pixel 9 Pro reportedly costs $406 to manufacture, less than half of its retail price. Production costs breakdown: $80 for Tensor G4 chip, $75 for Samsung display, $61 for camera. iPhone 16 Pro has a 40% higher manufacturing cost compared to Pixel 9 Pro's components.

The Pixel 9 Pro arrived this year for users looking for a compact flagship. Previously, fans of the Pixel lineup had to turn to the less capable vanilla models if they wanted a phone with a smaller screen.
