Is the slightly lower screen resolution of the Pixel 9 Pro XL noticeable?

I'm upgrading from a P6P to the P9P XL and noticed the screen on the P9P XL is about 30 PPL less in resolution than my old P6P. Is this noticeable?

I also upgraded from the Pixel 6 Pro directly to the Pixel 9 Pro XL, While my eyesight is no longer as sharp as it once was, I haven't detected any perceptible difference in the quality of the display due to the slight reduction in resolution.

How do you like the brighter screen? I have always felt the P6P screen was disappointing outdoors, same with the speakerphone volume.

100% with above statement best Pixel to date and not close
To echo that sentiment, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is my fourth Google phone; and while the P2XL, the P5, and the P6P all proved to be fabulous devices, this one is not only the best of the lot, but is the first one that performed flawlessly from the moment I took it out of the box. Unlike its predecessors, the P9PXL didn't have any initial glitches or faults that required software updates to be fixed. IMO, Google got this one right from the outset -- thereby reinforcing the loyalty of a lot of longtime customers and, evidently, earning the respect of many new ones.

My wife and I had the P3XL and both thought it was the best phone ever at the time. We had that phone for almost 4 years. Went Samsung after that... Until now. We are back in the Pixel world, and we love it. The 9 Pro XL is killing it.
