I switched my whole family from iphones to pixels last year. Really happy with the decision. My gf and I travel a lot and the google translate, google lens and circle to search are on a different level; not to mention the customisation and the clipboard, etc - just much more intuitive and smarter. I still use a macbook and i actually don't have any issues with ecosystem, because mac supports google photos, google drive, keepnotes, etc. On top of that, I use a samsung watch 6 classic (i love the rotating bezel) and i wanted to get away from the cheap casio-looking apple watches. Can't wait for the smaller 9 Pro. Finally, there'll be a small phone that has all the high end specs!

[@MacBjorn]

Small Pro for the win 🎉. Really love the Pixels

[@Sajikibara]

Mannn I remember you way back in the Phonedog days! Keep up the good work!

[@patchacuti7338]

I'm so happy that they're sticking with the smaller size and adding the higher end option in the smaller size. I have the regular pixel 7 and it's definitely too big for me. Every time I puck up my old samsung galaxy s10e it feels so good in my hand and I truly miss it. I shudder at the thought that I currently hold googles smallest phone. I would love to have that nice telephoto lens in a thumb friendly device. Hopefully this trend continues for the next few years so when I'm ready to upgrade I won't have to compromise.

[@-GS-]

The normal pixel 7 is too big for you? The size difference between the 8 and the 7 is so small it's almost non existent 😂 I wish they'd make a pixel the size of the iPhone xs that was perfect size.

[@patchacuti7338]

​@@-GS-I always notice a difference 😢

[@sachinhj9910]

Squaring off the edges is not a good move

[@Techfanatic73]

I have the pixel fold....Like it But going back to a iPhone. Android is the whole issue for me personally. New design is a little too square. But I love flat screens for everything. I can't stand curved edges on the screen.

[@fabistar2000]

Am I the only one who doesn't like that companies are going for this squared box type look? I liked the iPhone 11/Pro much more than the newer iPhone designs, bith the look and feel. Same with Samsung. I upgraded from S21 FE to S23 and tbh the S21/22 design was better and more comfortabe imo. Even though the S23/24 look better than 21/22.

[@heidifris4880]

I agree 💯

[@Mouse2113]

My 4XL literally died just shy of 4 years. Had the 7 Pro since launch but think I'll trade it for this new 9 Pro. High specs with smaller screen is so much better as modern flagships are just too big imo

[@jharper2189]

I've got a refurbished pixel 3XL running on 5 years. I'm curious what caused it to die. Was your storage filled to the brim? Did you do a lot of mobile gaming? Was it the battery being charged too often? Maybe it was too dusty inside of the case and contributed to overheating/component wear and tear? Any thoughts on what you believe could have caused it to die?

[@levil4012]

Maybe I'll consider the pixel 9 pro or the XL version.. As of now I'm enjoying my OnePlus 12

It’s a great phone.

[@goosedcoop]

Was anyone else crazy distracted by Jon looking down and to the right (screen left) while reading the script?

[@infg0753]

They've gotta fix the terrible fingerprint sensor

[@jon4lakers]

Definitely agree.

[@FellKrowe]

Agreed, the fingerprint sensor was great on the Pixel 3a, and I liked it when it was located on the back of the phone. But now on the Pixel 7, its definitely worse, and far less consistent.

[@infg0753]

@@FellKrowe I'm definitely not advocating going backwards and putting it on the back again - it would give the phone the 2015 look and most would look elsewhere. Other Android manufacturers got it right with the ultrasonic sensor but for some reason Google continues to cheap out with the optical one. The damn 8 Pro I've got is on par price wise with the iPhone 15 Pro Max but the unlocking experience is just as shitty as it ever was since my 6 Pro.

[@Catalanskrr]

If google pulls off the perfectly uniform bezels and the iphone-like design, i will 100% buy a 9 pro on launch

[@harryvlogs7833]

@mjnz really you would pay 999 for an iPhone with 3x zoom, would just buy the cheaper oneplus 12

[@BloodScientist]

Disagree with the flat sides feeling better in the hand. I love the small design of the Pixel 8 and the rounded edges make it so so comfortable. Having owned multiple iPhones as well and currently the iPhone 15, the flat sides look good, and should in theory offer more space for internals but not sure whether we'll get a bigger battery or not. Flat sides hurt the hands, unless the corners are really rounded.

[@thistrout]

No folding pixel 9?

[@Sipapate]

So Google's making a Samsung Galaxy S10?

[@rsbkey]

I really want to love pixels, but the tensor chip was absolute trash. I went through three returns last year, hoping it was QA issue, but nope. Battery life was average at best, heating issues, cheap modem so very low signal, and a flashlight fingerprint reader, which was barely passable. If you're thinking about getting a new pixel 9, just remember that your unreleased pixel is already going to be slower than last years flagships.

[@starfox300]

Slower for what? I have the Pixel 6 and it's super fast for anything I can think of

Really won't feel better in hand most people hat flat sides as the cut into your hands and are harder to hold

the smartphones are expensive, so "most people" get glass screen protectors so the flat screen is a huge plus and they also get phone cases so the sharp edges on the sides have no meaning anyway.

[@harryvlogs7833]

@piterplichta677 yeah but most people who have curved screen phones also have screen protector and the cases still have much more of an edge on them than a curved protector so your point still makes no sense
