Pixel fares better than the Pixel XL on heavier days!

Trust me, you'll burn more power drawing 4 times the number of pixels.

Not enough to offset 2500 coulombs.

But you're guessing. There are so many variables here (frame rates, buffering schema, etc.) it's impossible to know without serious testing. They have the same CPU/GPU, so power will be significantly increased on XL unless frame rates are reduced.

Trust me, you'll burn more power drawing 4 times the number of pixels.

It's about double the number of pixels
