Whether it's an Android or iOS device, I want the latest and greatest offering from Samsung, Google, and Apple. For example, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is a beast of the phone, with a "can't stop, won't stop" battery life runtime that blew us away.

While there’s no doubt that the pricier Pro models of the iPhone 16 series are better, with improved and larger displays, a third camera, that gorgeous titanium build and more, this year’s iPhone has a lot in common with the Pro. To the extent that for many people, the Pro adds bells and whistles they can manage without.
