A battery drain test of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL did not impress in the endurance part, but both flagships had the lowest temperatures of any flagship tested
Google bumped up the battery capacities on the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL, along with adding a more efficient Tensor G4 to help both flagships last longer. However, in the latest battery drain test, what surprised us the most was seeing that both of the smartphones had the lowest recorded temperatures against competitors like the OnePlus 12, Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, despite not impressing in the runtime category.Galaxy S24 Ultra had the highest recorded temperature from the battery drain test, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max once again, lasting the longest
A series of tests were performed by the YouTube channel TechDroider to really hammer the battery on the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the other flagships. Temperature readings were taken at different intervals to see how hot each device got, and you will be surprised to check out the results.
