The normal version is still HUGE, i mean, the "small" pixel 9 has the same size of the Pixel 4 XL. I would love if they made a real small phone

[@cjcm45]

This is how I feel. The Pro has always been preferred for cameras for me, but I hate the size.

[@DanWalshTV]

Agreed. Personally, I think the smaller Pro will sell better than Marques realizes. There's a reason Apple still continues to sell both an iPhone Pro and Pro Max.

[@sakethballa36t]

I can just about palm a basketball and it's not comfortable for me to use the most recent Pro/XL phones in one hand without a case. Last Pixel Pro/XL phone I used where I thought it was reasonably sized was the Pixel 3 XL. Hopefully, they continue the trend especially because I am thinking about upgrading to the Non-XL Pro next generation.

I wish somebody would talk and test basic cell phones activities, like connectivity, call sound quality, how sensitive are the antennas, etc. You know, after all they are still mainly phones, a communication tool.

because we nearly perfected that like a decade ago. the handset quality is never important. phone audio quality is so compressed that even the worst mics sound the same over normal calls. there haven't really been much improvements since the 2010s

That's more related to your service provider and location. Bad service/connection then you'll have bad call quality, dropped calls, etc. Most cell phones from large makers (especially flagship ones) will have all that dialed in.

I liked the finger id on the back. It was faster and more ergonomic for swiping etc. I wish they would bring that back. Or really anywhere other than the center on the screen for those of us with short fingers. It's the biggest reason I haven't upgraded lol.

[@daltonbanderson]

The AI extensions with Gemini in research papers are described as tool usage, and so Gemini is using Google Assistant as a tool to complete certain tasks like alarms or other things that Gemini doesn't have the capabilities to do, etc.

[@TheTyisawesome]

Wtf? That sounds odd

[@Matt-bp5vy]

That's a bot that uses a random word generator to post irrelevant or nonsensical messages on multiple videos to drive up engagement for the channel.

[@desunistallerinc]

ChatGPT seeems to have same approach, the AI has knowledge that tools like "image generation" or "browser" or "python" are available to it so it can use it to do tasks for you. Same with Gemini, it will be aware about all apps on the phone as the "tools" it can use to help you with your tasks. So if you tell it "please remind me about XY" it will just use the tool "calendar" to create a note for you. This is the crucial feature to have for text generation AI - bridge between text generation and application usage. It is also scary. What if AI goes crazy and does something unintentionally bad with all the apps that are avaialble to it? (and no, I am not a bot and the person I am replying to is also not a bot, just some people are not very bright)

[@benkidd]

19:48 I think the possible reason that the "Screenshots" app isn't part of Google Photos is so that they can market it with the Pixel brand, rather than a Photos feature that's exclusive to Pixel. It can be more clearly a Pixel device feature. It invites less questions about why X and Y features aren't available on other devices.

[@BenPyman]

That might be part of it, but I think a big reason it's separate is because the screenshots app is running on device. Photos does their AI stuff in the cloud, so you might not want that if you're concerned about the privacy of your screenshots.

[@jj47192]

Correct, cloud could be shared with partner. Also screenshots are a temp thing, so no need to permanently save on cloud.

The exclusivity of the app is a marketing strategy for the Pixel 9. It's likely that in a few months, the app will move to Google Photos, making it accessible to iPhone and other Android users, provided it meets quality expectations.

I truly believe that Google messed up the presentation of its Pixel 9 line up, for this: 1. They need to compete with premium hardware and it really looks that this year they nailed it, but didn't emphasised that in the presentation. 2. Instead, they dedicated most of the time to show "AI features" (software) that nobody asked them, and they did it on a SAMSUNG phone. There is not a Pixel exclusive thing other than the hardware which was not the main attraction of the event. So, at this point, Google needs to work in their marketing material, letting know that their hardware is the best, or Pixel exclusive features, like the Pixie assistant that was rumored or its ecosystem. The unique problem is that "exclusive" is not an Android mainstay or philosophy. Nice vid!!

[@AlricoAmona98]

Pixel and Android teams have now merged internally under one giant product area managed by the same person - Rick Osterloh. Google is really trying to push android as a whole now and have fortified partnerships with the likes of Samsung. Get used to seeing android more entertwined with pixel going forward. Lastly, google is trying to train people/ audience / reviewers from focusing on raw power and hardware and more so the user experience.

@@Matt-bp5vy ikr, I usually ignore any AI and still ignore chatgpt to this date but Gemini is better in the way of its integrations... I'm not just typing to an AI, I'm getting valuable help in almost no time

[@spottedtiger380]

I’m thinking of getting this for my partner. His phone is pretty jank, and he is pretty anti-AI, so I appreciate you saying that the AI features are mostly optional. Nice video!

[@Pargesparrow]

I hope google never stops working on temperature sensor 😇

[@MetalEffort]

I actually love it.

[@eyoo-qs8xd]

​@@MetalEffortits good. I already see the evolution of this feature. If we compare smartphone cameras from the beginning they all just suck for 7 years or something like that and thats basicly the same. In 4 years or something like that we get a almost perfect sensor

I will not rest until there's a full-on thermal _camera_ included in the phone

As someone who BBQ's a lot... Surface temp readings are great.

Legit, they should integrate the Fluke IR Camera into the Pixel. Would be super handy for home/building inspectors.

The OG iPod Shuffle is how I originally got into iPods as a kid. Loved that thing so much the headphones were basically glued into my ears in high school.

[@aakankinskywalker384]

not only the samsung, but also the IQOO 9 SE has that fingerprint reading capability when the display is completely off, I didnt think about it until you mentioned this in the video.

[@simonpretli]

Honestly as a Chef I want them to keep working on the thermometer app haha, would be awesome to get reliable readings on the smoker and stuff.

Yeah, I think detecting the temperature has many good uses.

[@SaltCrackerz]

My hope is, if the screenshots app works as both a product and a part of the routine, they add a choice to stop showing screenshots in the main pictures app, and keep them separately at screenshots.

[@shaggytoph]

I have a Pixel 5a 5g and I'm not changing it for the Pixel 9 mainly for the rear fingerprint scanner that works even if the phone screen is off. I work in a mall telling people prices of products in our stores (3rd world country, high inflation, lot of price changes), and I use my phone all the time to scan Bar Codes for prices. I need to reliably take my phone out of my pocket at the same time I'm unlocking it with the rear fingerprint scanner. For the last 5 year I've been watching new Pixel videos, and they all fail to achieve that task. If my phone ever breaks out, I already have another pixel 5a 5g sealed ready to use.

[@russellhenderson4608]

Badly miss the rear fingerprint scanner. Went from pixel 3 to pixel 6 pro which doesn't have it. That sensor was excellent never failed to work.

[@janvollgod7221]

yeah the crapy fingerprint sensor on my pixel 7 made me never buy a pixel phone again. Unbelievable how a company was able to build such a miserable toy into a high-priced device, without getting punished by the buyers. I kept my pixel 7 because of the cam and some other slick features, but such pathetic fail by design, will not trick me twice.

[@LutherPearson]

@@janvollgod7221 I replaced my Pixel 7 XL twice, and preordered the Pixel 9! I'm ready for the change, new design/build!

[@matsrecordcollection]

I had a Pixel 3 for years, I had no problems with it, except one glaring issue; all my app icons burned into the screen. I was able to upgrade to the 9 pro for $0 with Verizon. It shipped today, can't wait to get it. Great video!

[@cap.auh3b777]

19:10 was waiting for “what is a photo” moment😂

[@MikeAbili]

I can’t wait for TV shows that use the Pixel for their classic “Zoom & Enhance” when solving a crime. 21:12

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

Classic Google move to have Gemini and Google Assistant overlapping. They're the masters of having products that compete with their own products only to kill off whichever one is least successful causing a wave of chaos for the people that used it.

[@the_kingd0m]

They need to honestly reorg their entire workforce. These people have ZERO idea how to run product development. It's actually a miracle they were able to release a decent phone this year

[@Tasteful_Edits]

I really hope that drop the price soon. That should make it worth buying to most people.

[@Simplyfemme]

Right! I’m thinking of switching from my 15pro to pixel 😓

[@isaacroufs5779]

Apparently an unpopular opinion, but I totally want them to keep the temperature sensor - that's useful! No need to pull out the IR thermometer!

[@zero.zero.one.001]

Well, If you know how this type of temperature measuring works, you would know, that it is more of a guessing. An IR blaster (like 99% of Chinese phones) would be way more helpful

[@MaxWin-cq8tv]

So basically I think that what Google is trying to do is differing to assistant for practical tasks and Gemini for creative work, putting that little logo of assistant gives us peace of mind

[@LadyLuckHQ]

Mine came yesterday. Moved from my Samsung s24 and the phone is really awesome. One major issue and not sure if anyone else is having the same problem - it's randomly turned off twice on me during usage in IG or YT. Seems to be a glitch.

[@akhilarote7762]

I use pixel 4, and my friends use 6 and 8 it's a normal pixel problem. But trust me you would get used to it.

[@armanromana1580]

[@MegaMiguelMiki]

Okay that intro! Absolutely killed it! The music is top notch. I appreciate that you always bring good perspective when you are reviewing a phone. Great review.

[@proficos]

Thank you for the video, Marques. As always, nice presentation and honest review. Love it! I am a girl and I am a huge fan of Google. Everything started with Nexus phones and I loved them each time I got a new one. Stable solid phones for Android users. Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 5x, Pixel, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 5 got stolen, but I could locate it with Find me, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8A. My working colleagues wanted to buy my Nexus 5 when I used it once with a lot of money as it was and is a flagship of its times. My family uses Pixel as I thaught them, easy menu and settings. The only issue my Pixel 8 has is the camera, when you swipe it for video in wide mode, it is losing its stabilization and focus, same with pictures, focus and macro not working well. Pixel 8A has a greener screen and that one, i don’t like it. I loved Pixel 5 camera, it was the best, no issues, clear, natural and good focus. Happy to make reviews for google if they ask me too. 😅

[@edwindungdung1998]

Man, this video is just a banger overall, from the intro to the title cards. Like, damn, this felt like walking along the chilled beverage and dairy aisle.

[@User-ec2bh]

I think it is really important to mention what features are US only. Like call screening sounds good, but as far as I know it is only available to it's full extend in the US... Same for the thermometer. It only works on humans if you are located in the United States. Stuff like this just belongs in a review.

[@victorrumyantsev3718]

This is one of the reasons I won't buy these phones - ignorance towards other countries. I would rather get a new Huawei!

[@FaviFake]

​@Joseph-11414😅

[@andyandersson]

Think I read the same about call notes.

[@lIIuminatl]

Call screening works absolutely fine on my OG Pixel Fold in the UK. Use it everyday. Maybe you mean the call summery?

[@billweberx]

There are other countries?

[@Abodino]

Bro...going from 2 cameras from pixel 9 to 3 cameras in pixel 9 pro....that was a hell of a damn good intro🔥

[@Igor-de7zz]

11:25- Gemini begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

[@jaydanielstech]

Just a note, the fingerprint sensor does read with the screen off - it just has to have always on turned on and then it works like Samsung. This is such a beautiful phone. Google really nailed the design!

[@lostintranslation286]

Double tap works too. Much easier than power button even if you have turned off always on display

[@BaldwinFanonGarveyTureShakurX]

​@@lostintranslation286. I didn't know other phones used double tap. I still have my LG V60 and sad they discontinued their phones. Lol

I'm gonna stick with my Pixel 4a until next year. I plan to get the 10 Pro XL and I can't wait!!

[@tanishabhatia738]

You're definitely missing the deal! I'm trading in my 7 pro and getting $540 for it. And Google is giving $230 in store credit on top of that for getting the pro. I paid totally $600 for the 7pro after trading in my 4xl. So in a wayyyy. The 9pro is free 😅😅 And I'll eventually trade in the 9pro for 10pro and I'm sure I'll get an excellent price for it too! Gotta always look for the deals! 😍🥰
