The Pixel 9's is 6.24", the Pixel 9 Pro's 6.34", and the Pixel 9 XL's 6.73". Size-wise, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are identical, but the difference in the screen is down to the 9 sporting much larger bezels.

Both phones are comfortable to hold and can be used with one hand if needed. I've found the iPhone 15 to feel more balanced than the Pixel 8, which can feel a little top-heavy due to the camera bar. Judging the phones strictly based on colors, the iPhone 15 is the clear winner.

The compact Google Pixel 8 and the iPhone 15 are two of the best phones on the market. Both offer premium designs, strong performance, excellent cameras, all-day battery life, and clean software. Technically speaking, we scored the iPhone 15 slightly higher in our review.

As the latest flagship representative for Google's Pixel line, the Google Pixel 8 Pro is a top-tier device worthy of its $999 starting price for those willing to spend as much. It's not trying to show off with the highest benchmark numbers, a gaudy camera megapixel count, or the flashiest design.
