The Pixel 9 Pro impressed overall and achieved an overall score of 1.2, winning not only individual photo sections, but almost all of them. Only in the 4x zoom do others perform better. The optical zoom only helps from five times to a maximum of 30 times magnification. The quality is very good for a mobile phone!

Together with the more handy Pixel 9 Pro and the 8 Pro, it is one of the best camera mobiles. But that's not all: the Pixel 9 Pro XL has the brightest display on average and, together with the S24 Ultra, offers the longest update...
