iFixit’s Google Pixel 9 Pro XL teardown reveals a “dual-entry” design.

This repair-friendly design lets you remove the device’s display for screen replacements, or just the backing if you need to change the battery. But it seems Google hasn’t perfected this yet, as the display broke when iFixit carefully removed it.

And just like the Pixel 8, its successor comes with pull tabs that can make the battery a pain to remove.
