Google Pixel 9 Pro XL vs. Pixel 8 Pro Spec Comparison: What’s Different?

[@volcalstone]

Pro should start with 256GB imo and it's 2024 already.

Tell that to Apple and Samsung too

[@JoshF151Tech]

If you already have a Google Pixel 8 Pro 256 GB Model it's not worth Upgrading to the Google Pixel 9 Series there's just not enough there to make it worth the Upgrade in my opinion.

[@darrendyson8347]

I can get over that pill shaped camera Island on the back everybody seems to be griping about. I've been a fan of Google since the G1 The HTC G1. It's super cool and dope to see Google finally matching the hardware to go along with their software. The nine will put them in a tier of their own.

[@saxmanphd]

It might be a good time for me to buy the pixel 8 on discount..

[@serrael-182]

Yes it is if its a realy good discount. S23 if you prefer chip and speakers over camera.

[@yatishsharma8632]

Using the s23 FE for last two months and i would rather have my 7pro back. The software of samsung looks and feels terrible and i really miss now playing, picking up calls by shouting on my google phone, turning off alarms from my bed and my default Gboard was miles better than my samsung. It's some little touches like those which makes pixel users like me really difficult to switch to other brands. The Google phone also had 10 times better camera than this s23fe ​@@serrael-182

The new Tensor is barely an upgrade. The iPhonified design was unnecessary at best cause the 8 Pro is beautiful.

[@jevonsims900]

Japan is Google's largest Pixel market so it's no surprise Google iPhonified Pixel 9 Asia loves iPhone.

[@serrael-182]

​@@jevonsims900than they should use also iphone level chips and speakers.

[@superiortoall22]

⁠@@serrael-182you’d be paying above iPhone level prices, Exynos modems allows for cheaper imports than say Snapdragon.

[@serrael-182]

@@superiortoall22 Right now an S24U is cheaper than pixel and it has an iphone level chip dont know the iphone prices right now but the starting prices of the pixels are insane.

[@superiortoall22]

@@serrael-182 idk where you are but here in the States, the official Samsung price is $1299 while the Pixel is $1099 and the iPhone 15PM is $1199. If your Pixel prices are already high expect them to go up even further. Exynos uses cheaper materials that allows for cheaper imports, that’s why Samsung did Snapdragon and Exynos chips for the same phones. When Samsung did all snapdragon, that’s when consumers had crappy trade ins because Samsung was accounting for high import taxes.

[@travismayes23]

you forgot two things Google software. they said they tweaked the camera to make it better and they redid it from the ground up for the pixel 9 series HDR a whole new chip and everything. so with the software and the new chip I'm thinking the new pixel 9 series is going to take better pictures

[@serrael-182]

Yes but chip and speakers are not flagship level so they have to cost less than iphone pro and s24U.

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

The new one looks more, different. While the 8 pro, looks beautiful

[@serrael-182]

8 pro also feels much better on your hand. I tried them yesterday. The speakers are now a littler louder and clearer but still not on samsung/iphone level and those still feel more premium. The cameras on the other hand worked great. Front and back!

[@XeRo333]

Really looking forward to switching to Pixel after having the Galaxy phones since the S4

[@Sejuani89]

I love that they used 6.3" on the base model instead of 6.1" which is what samsung and apple are using for their base models. 6.3" is exactly what I wanted, its the same size as the base pixel 7 and I loved that size so much, not so small and not so big!

[@RelativelyAttractiveMan]

It's hardly an upgrade. I've had the 8 pro since launch & it's been a solid 8/10 Very happy w it.

[@80skid83]

Spot on, definitely in the region of an 8/10 phone

[@tekmagar7968]

If they have fixed heating issues and poor connectivity I’ll switch to 9 Pro from my phone for sure 👍

[@serrael-182]

Wait till next year if you can. Than theyll have tsmc chip unless we have ww3.

[@adityavamsipulipakam4018]

The Trade in value was more for Pixel 7 Pro while purchasing 8 Pro, but seems like Google pulled an Apple move and reduced the value for Trade In. Can't help it..These are just marketing tactics. Just stick to 8 Pro ig. It's an amazing phone and you got 7 years of support.

As far as every other source of info is concerned, the pixel 9 pro does not support 45w charging. Not sure where you have gotten this information? Makes me question the rest of the facts in this video.

[@mr.morales0707]

Even as an iPhone user I’m interested in the fold pro as a second phone. Cause beside the camera bump it seems very similar to how Apple would make a folding phone

Hey a pro phone now in days it's with 128 GB it's not a pro.

[@robertguinn1272]

[@DarkTranqz]

Tensor G4 is leaps and bounds behind even the Snapdragon Gen 3, and now the SD Gen 4 is about to be launching very soon with a reported 46% performance increase over the Gen 3 at 4.2 GHz clock speeds. Oof. Google is a $2 Trillion company. You'd think they'd shovel some money into an SoC that can compete since they're still in the smartphone market and charging higher and higher into the flagship prices generation over generation.

[@KidBowsur]

Yeah but normal people don't care. I'm on a pixel 6 and it works fine. Not everyone needs the highest specs to do normal stuff. I can't even imagine why anyone needs the most high end phones.

[@gameplays1993]

The AI stuff needs much Power .. and believe me.. in a few Years you Wish to have more Power.. you playing a Flagship Level price .. so you should get a Performance to Match that !

[@DaMomento]

First time ever pixel phones nailed it imo ❤👌

[@Shan_Shah]

They should've delayed the pixel 9 10 more days and released it when android 15 gets ready, I'd say this product is a bit rushed and while google claims 7 yesrs of android and security update its badically 6 and 6 since android 15 will already count as 1 update.

[@80skid83]

It was rushed , but they wanted to release this before the iPhone. Only thing now is the pixel 8 is only 10 months old and the price is now slashed. I think most will just buy an 8 at a reduced price. It would of held its price if the 9 hadn't launched so early

[@kaalan5185]

5050 mAh to 5060 mAh 😅. What an upgrade and 'very interested to see how the new phone's battery lasts', sarcasm isn't it?

[@JoeyLegendd]

If that hazel had the same gold accent treatment, i wouldve hopped on it. That pink alienated all the men out there who don't want a pink phone, and even the bright blue from last year. The white or the hazel ahoulsve had the gold accent, but I'm satiafied with the 8pro when its gold accent on porcelain.

[@nathanmerritt1581]

The pixel count has reduced compared to the previous phones. Most curious indeed.

[@mysticery]

I think they still put the 128 option, so the phone will be affordable. If it just went to 256, people may find it too pricey. Its an illusion.

[@80skid83]

The thing is 128gb would be seriously restrictive for the average user. I have 512gb model and i have 170gb currently used up and im always moving things to the cloud too.

[@mr.morales0707]

This year the design of the products is really dope. The camera bump is really cool even in the fold. Though what’s 1 reason I would switch from my iPhone 15 PM ? Might try the fold though

Also the AI component of the Tensor4 is the same as the 3 this release..

[@Shan_Shah]

The pixel 9 AI features could easily trickle down to pixel 8 threw software, if they claim 6 and 6 or 7 and 7 what good is a phone for 7 years if they already exclude mutiple features in just year 1 how will these phones survive for more than 6 years. Google never trickled down any pixel 8 features to older pixel.
