Google's Pixel 9 Pro is a true competitor to Apple's iPhone 15 Pro. Here's how the two phones compare

The Pixel offers more room to express your creativity while capturing and editing pictures.

The phone has a 4,700 mAh battery that supports up to 27W wired charging and up to 15W wireless charging.
