                The biggest difference between the Pixel and Pixel XL are their display and battery sizes, though the 5.5-inch Pixel XL isn't that much larger than its 5-inch sibling.Aug 12, 2020

              Just like the Pixel, only bigger

              The Google Pixel XL serves up a superior camera and Google Assistant in a bigger, sharper display.
