Repair parts Google Pixel 9 Pro XL

In this category, you'll find parts for the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, the 6.8-inch model with Tensor G4 launched by Google in August 2024. These parts are designed for this phone, not the 6.3-inch Pixel 9 Pro, which is often mistaken for it. Before choosing a part, check your device's model code and find out what replacing the screen and battery involves on this model.

GGX8B, GZC4K and GQ57S: the three Google Pixel 9 Pro XL codes

The Pixel 9 Pro XL was produced in three regional variants: GGX8B (United States), GQ57S (Japan) and GZC4K, the code Google uses in its UK declaration of conformity. To check yours, go to Settings > About phone > Regulatory labels: the hardware code is shown at the top.

Google's original replacement parts for this model fit all three codes, so the region where you bought your phone does not affect which part you need. The risk of confusion is with the Pixel 9 Pro: it looks very similar on the outside, but its screen is 6.3 inches and has a resolution of 1280 x 2856 pixels. For this reason, the Pro's screen, battery and rear cover are not compatible with the Pro XL, even though both share the same camera bar.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL has an ultrasonic fingerprint reader built into the screen assembly

As supplied, the panel is a 6.8-inch LTPO Super Actua OLED with a resolution of 1344 x 2992 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz. The fingerprint sensor is ultrasonic and sits beneath the glass. In Google's original replacement part, it is built into the screen assembly and cannot be replaced separately.

Bear this in mind when choosing the complete screen for Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, which we currently stock in OEM quality:

• After fitting any screen, you need to calibrate the fingerprint sensor using Google's Pixel Repair Tool. It is used on a computer with the phone in fastboot mode, and the reader will not work without this step.
• The ultrasonic sensor reads through the glass, so it only works well if it is correctly aligned with the panel. If the fingerprint reader is essential to you, contact us before buying to ask how the replacement part we currently stock performs.

In addition, the front glass on this model is delicate and often delaminates when removed. That's why it's best not to disturb the screen if you're only replacing parts accessed from the back.

5060 mAh and GH2MB code: the Pixel 9 Pro XL battery is accessed from the back

Google lists the Pixel 9 Pro XL's typical capacity as 5060 mAh and its minimum capacity as 4942 mAh; the cell carries the code GH2MB. That's why you'll find both figures on the market: they refer to the same battery. The 5060 mAh GH2MB battery compatible with Google Pixel 9 Pro XL that we currently sell is Premium quality, a compatible alternative that is usually cheaper than Google's part.

The Pixel 9 series introduces a dual-access design. To reach the battery, you only need to remove the rear cover; there's no need to remove the screen. The tricky part is that the cell is firmly bonded to the chassis: in reference teardowns, the pull tab couldn't cut through the adhesive, so isopropyl alcohol and prying were required. If you're a technician, allow more workshop time than usual for this replacement.

Since Android 16, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is among the Pixel phones that show the estimated capacity relative to a new battery under Settings > Battery > Battery health. Checking this figure can help you decide whether the battery really needs replacing.

Four camera frame finishes and an Obsidian rear cover for the Pixel 9 Pro XL

Google released the Pixel 9 Pro XL in Obsidian, Porcelain, Hazel and Rose Quartz. If your rear glass is broken, the part you need is the Pixel 9 Pro XL rear cover in Obsidian, now available in Original quality. It is attached to the chassis with perimeter adhesive, and water resistance after replacement depends on how well it is resealed.

If the glass is intact but the camera bar is dented or scratched, replacing just the rear camera frame for Pixel 9 Pro XL is a more limited repair. Available in:

• Obsidian
• Porcelain
• Rose Quartz
• Grey

Before placing your order, check the product listing to see whether the rear cover includes the camera bar frame. This will help you work out whether you need both parts or just one.

Modular Pixel 9 Pro XL parts: 42 MP selfie camera, USB-C on a sub-board and flex cables

The Pixel 9 Pro XL's front camera is a 42 MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, an f/2.2 aperture and a 103-degree field of view. The 42 MP ultrawide front camera for Pixel 9 Pro XL is now available in Original quality.

In this version, Google moved the USB-C connector to a sub-board shared with the SIM tray, making it easier to replace than on the Pixel 8 Pro. Check the product listing to see whether the USB charging port for Pixel 9 Pro XL includes the complete board or just the connector. If the port works properly but charging or data transfer fails, also check the motherboard connection flex cable. For the side buttons, you can use the power and volume button flex cable.

Pixel Repair Tool, 4942 mAh and Pixel 9 Pro: common questions about the Pixel 9 Pro XL

Why do some Pixel 9 Pro XL batteries show 5060 mAh and others 4942 mAh?

Google publishes both figures for the same GH2MB cell: 5060 mAh is the typical capacity and 4942 mAh is the minimum guaranteed capacity. A replacement showing one figure or the other is not a different battery model.

Will the fingerprint reader still work after replacing the Pixel 9 Pro XL screen?

First, you need to calibrate it using the Pixel Repair Tool, Google's web-based tool, with the phone in fastboot mode. If you don't calibrate it, the reader will stop working even if the screen works properly. With non-Google screens, performance also depends on how well the ultrasonic sensor is aligned.

Can I fit a Pixel 9 Pro screen in my Pixel 9 Pro XL?

No. The Pixel 9 Pro screen measures 6.3 inches and has a resolution of 1280 x 2856 pixels, while the Pro XL screen measures 6.8 inches and has a resolution of 1344 x 2992 pixels. The same applies to the battery and rear cover: each model has its own part number.

Do I need to remove the screen to replace the battery or rear cover?

No. Thanks to the Pixel 9 Pro XL's dual-access design, you can reach the battery by removing only the rear cover. This avoids the risk of delaminating the front glass, which is quite fragile.
