| Country | Currency | Launch price |
|---|---|---|
| United States | USD | $1,099 |

We could not verify a current Google Store price for the Pixel 9 Pro XL in any country, and Google’s store now promotes newer Pixel models, so we do not know if it is still on sale. We left out the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia and Japan for the same reason. Check your local Google Store for today’s price.
Pixel 9 Pro XL Price in Pakistan
Google does not officially sell Pixel phones in Pakistan, so there is no official Pakistani price or local Google warranty. Units are imported by third-party sellers, and used or imported prices vary from seller to seller and with the exchange rate, so we do not list a rupee figure. The phone must also be PTA registered before it can be used on a Pakistani cellular network. Ask the seller about PTA status, the warranty they offer, and the regional model before you pay.
Should You Buy It?
Buy it if you want a large screen, the biggest battery in the Pixel 9 family without a foldable, and a flagship camera system with 8K video.
Skip it if you prefer a smaller phone. The Pixel 9 Pro has the same chip and cameras in a more compact body. Also think twice if you live in Pakistan, because there is no official sale or local warranty.
