It's here! The Pixel 9 Pro XL is such a big upgrade from the 6 Pro. I'm a big fan of the new edges and redesigned camera bump—it finally looks and feels like the flagship phone it is.

As expected, the easy data transfer wizard simply did not connect to my GrapheneOS phone. I had to set up the device as new, and now I start the process of manually moving things over.

I'm okay with that; it provides an opportunity to reassess my installed apps and remove the non-essential. Thankfully, the automatic Google Fi eSIM transfer was seamless.

I know pixels aren't known for great battery life, but I've been thoroughly impressed by the 9 Pro. Of course I am coming from and iPhone Mini which was horrendous in terms of battery. The Pixel 9 is a great phone and Graphene is awesome. I've Googled it more than I thought I would but still glad to have the extensive privacy options Graphene OS offers

I ran into some SIM transfer issues but I think only because I didn't enable the right settings on the phone prior to activation.

I've actually been really impressed by my 8 pro battery wise. I have it set to an 80% limit, and I still charge once daily. I'm running amber, pokey & citrine in the background for Nostr, plus synching & a VPN. I still get 4+ hours of screentime, and rarely drop below 30% battery before it's time for bed.

So far, I have been impressed with the battery life, even with running my XL display at full resolution. Coming from a 6 Pro, I can't really speak to the difference between the 8 Pro (5,050mAh) and the 9 Pro XL (5,060mAh), but it seems to be consistent with the benchmarks I've seen online. Both battery life and charging speeds are a huge upgrade.

Yeah lots of things can contribute to better life. That being said Full Rez 120Hz for life 😂 I notice 60Hz when I use the 6a now.
