Pixel 9 Pro XL sparks privacy fears, sends private data to Google every 15 minutes
Pixel 9 Pro XL reportedly sends private user data to Google servers every 15 minutes. A security researcher at Cybernews discovered that the phone frequently transmits sensitive user data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, and locations.
The discovery sparked a privacy fear as private data is being sent to Google through the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The smartphone sometimes transmits sensitive user data to Google servers even before any apps are installed.
The report also states that the Pixel 9 Pro XL has remote management capabilities, which operate without user consent or awareness. It seems there’s a severe security flaw within the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s operating system.
The phone communicates with services like Google Photos’ Face Grouping without user interaction, raising further privacy concerns. The native Calculator is also suspicious as it could leak calculation history to unauthorized users under certain conditions.
“The amount of data transmitted and the potential for remote management casts doubt on who truly owns the device. Users may have paid for it, but the deep integration of surveillance systems in the ecosystem may leave users vulnerable to privacy violations,” Nazarovas said.
It looks like the AI integration has made some major security flaws across the OS. Google packed the new Pixel phones with advanced security features. The research only discusses potential threats, with data leak isn’t such a general task.
Interestingly, Cybernews researchers employed a “man-in-the-middle” approach to capture and analyze this traffic but noted limitations due to the rooting process. As AI is making our lives easier, it is putting the data at threat at the same time.

Galaxy S24 FE with Exynos 2400e scored 2146 and 6711 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. It’s slightly less than the 2201 single-core and 6926 multi-core points in the Galaxy S24’s Exynos 2400 chipset.
Apple’s A18 chip lags behind the Exynos 2400e used in the Galaxy S24 FE in ray tracing performance. The iPhone 16 scored 6,691 points in 3DMark’s Solar Bay test, whereas the Exynos Exynos 2400 scored 8,743 points.
Meanwhile, the phone scored 3,870 points in 3DMark’s Wild Life Extreme GPU test at 4K resolution compared to 4,029 points of the iPhone 16 Plus. The Galaxy S24+’s Exynos 2400 chip scored 4,365 points on the same benchmark.
iPhone 16 Plus is a flagship phone, while the S24 FE belongs to Samsung’s Fan Edition. The mainstream flagship line is S24, which is far ahead in GPU performance. Apple’s CPU edge will also be crushed with the Galaxy S25 series.
