The Pixel 9 phones are surprisingly great, in spite of their price
Engadget reviews the Pixel 9 series and Dell XPS 13 Copilot+. Pixel 9s impress with design and camera, while Dell's PC has mixed performance.
Engadget's recent review recap focuses on the Google Pixel 9 series and the Dell XPS 13 Copilot+ PC. The Pixel 9, reviewed by Sam Rutherford, stands out with its upgraded cameras, vibrant OLED display, and solid performance, all for a reasonable $799. Despite some limitations like the absence of Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, it is considered the go-to Android phone.
The Pixel 9 Pro, evaluated by Mat Smith, received an impressive score, lauding its refined design and improved telephoto camera. Priced at $999, the Pixel 9 Pro boasts excellent battery life and a bright screen, making it a strong competitor in the flagship phone market. However, it isn't the best phone for gaming and has slower charging speeds compared to the XL variant.
The Dell XPS 13 Copilot+ PC, reviewed by Devindra Hardawar, features a Snapdragon X Elite chip, offering benefits like better battery life and faster AI capabilities. However, it struggles with compatibility issues for certain apps and games. While its design and screen are praised, the overall performance suggests that Intel variants might be more reliable for some users.
