BRUTALLY HONEST! GOOGLE PIXEL 9 PRO XL VS GALAXY S24 Ultra

[@frankingram9175]

I bullshit you not. I have the Pixel 9 pro xl. I'm coming from a 15 pro Max. I must say they got me leaving apple. This set up is buttery smooth. This phone feels just as fast as The S24 and 15 pro Max. The features are sick. I'm impressed. It took me a minute to adjust from apple. However, Im sold. The camera is Top notch and AI is on point. If you love I phone you will put it down for this. This phone is very capable.

I use a Samsung phone, a Pixel phone, and an Apple phone. My main phone is the Samsung because it does everything well. Plus, there is just something special about One UI that lets me multitask in a way I haven’t been able to with the Pixel or Apple. The Pixel sometimes takes better photos than the Samsung, and the Apple has good videos, but my overall favorite phone is the Samsung.

I have found the images losing clarity on Zooming compared to my iPhone. 2. Can the telephoto be used to take portraits? iPhones have this option to take beautiful portraits using 5x/3x lens, which no one talks about 3. Do they support HEIF/HEIC format? It is sad the none of the previous Pixels supported HEIF, which is half the file size of a regular JPG file... I am currently using iPhone 15 and is planning to make a switch to the P9Pro

[@kek7778]

1. Yes, but only the Pro models in pro camera mode. 2. No, only with the main camera. For me, the tele camera with natural bokeh is good enough. There is an option to enable a similar effect in Google Photos after you took the picture. 3. Pretty sure not.

[@carmennooner2027]

I'm fortunate to not be a busy person. Once upon a time I was caregiver for my husband's sister and for him. They both had several health issues, which meant several doctor appointments. And, during covid, the cell phone had to be topped off before I went anywhere because, in the city I live in, we had to park, call the desk to check in, wait for someone to come out to the car to ask the usual list of questions, zap our foreheads for our temperatures, then abandon us until the desk called us to say, "come on in". I also found it easier and faster to keep track of appointments in the calendar app, and keep the necessary information required for both my sister-in-law and husband in a notes app. So, faster charge times would have been a plus back in 2020, but I managed by plugging in every evening so as not to worry about running out of juice. Now they are both gone so I no longer have to worry about keeping my phone charged to the max daily. In fact, my S22 Ultra usually has to get plugged in every three days or so now! I am (obviously) starting to look at the newer phones, and the Pixel has piqued my interest for a while. But, I'm afraid I will miss the stylus that I am used to having going back to my Note 9, so this new search is taking me more time then I anticipated.

It would be good to remember that the S24 Ultra comes with 256G in UFS 4.0 and not 128G in UFS 3.1, But above all, the S24 Ultra has a processor that is 2 years ahead of the Tensor G4 and currently does not cost $1300, but $1000-$1100. These Pixel 9 Pro / 9 Pro XL are not bad smartphones, but they are actually way too expensive for what they are, they are are not even on par or compete with the iPhones 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max and S23 Ultra, so S24 Ultra / iPhone 15 Pro Max 🤷🏽‍♂️, they can try to compete with the S23 Plus / iPhone 14 Pro standard, and even then, the only thing they do better than the S23 Plus / iPhone 14 Pro is zoom, and above all, Gemini (Google Ai) is not even exclusive to the Pixel, so 🤷🏽‍♂️

Given that I feel the Pixel 9 pro is an overpriced upper midrange phone. I think a better comparison would be against the S24+.

[@Anju876]

Heres are my findings so far...upgrading from a s22 ultra. I tested the s24 ultra and the pixel 9 xl in store hefore choosing the google pixel. I was a little disappointed that the layout on the s24 looked the exact same as my s22 literally everything. The only thing that was diffeeent was the screen resolution. I use the file management system and video more than i do pictures and the samsung hands down is a file management beast.no slow downs no messing about. Usb amd large videos are recognized quickly. Also the built in video player is better than the google photos player. When it comes to the pixel there it feels a little slow when scanning thru files. As far as video i prefer the pixels smoothness. Ive put thw samsung thru its paces and have experienced slow down after shooting for a bit and this translates to the image quality when zooming in and out run and gun style. The phone gets hot and starts to lag, there has also been instances where the camera took a while to open on my s22 after some heavy use and yhen force closed, so i was a bit leary and didnt want to experience this again. The form factor of the pixel 9 XL is better and feels just tight after adding a case and the camera bump helps u with handling the phone with dexterity. For me the pixel heats up fairly quickly but didnt lag so thats a plus. Another reason why i opted for the pixel was that the s22 ultra started having chronic antenna issues which samsung knew about anlfter some nonsense update, and then kept sending updates trying to fix it which it never did.

[@besg5725]

I recently bought the 24 ultra. I didnt even know pixel 9 is about to eb released. I would have bought a pixel if it had free 1 year youtube premium and offered 60-90 watt fast charging. As it stands, the inferior chipset and ufs 3.1 for pixels are turnoffs.

Should I upgrade from the pixel 8pro or wait till next year, I can get a 492£ discount if I swap my pixel 8pro

[@rockowilson2320]

The 10 should be a much bigger upgrade over the phone you currently have. If I had a 8/8 Pro I'd wait till next year.

[@DispholidusTypus]

I'm waiting for the 10 or 11 XL PIXEL as well and opting for the Samsung s24 plus+ as of now! Sadly I'm leaving Motorola Edge Plus+ it's a great mid-range phone but it's lack of updates's and now buggy issues after 2 years is irritating AF! I would definitely consider a Motorola phone as a backup phone for sure as I absolutely love the shake and rattle flashlight and camera feature that they have patented on their devices... If Motorola made just 3 or 4 phone's ranging from low, mid, high, and hi-end flagship specs I would be stoked but they opt for selling numerous different crappy budget phone's with not enough updates! Motorola makes their money making CB radio's and ham radio's that's their primary money maker and selling phones is just a side hustle for them! I really wish they made superior phone's because they could some mega beast droid's if they wanted too!!!!

[@rolins3279]

Wait

[@BigZues919]

Do it, I just ordered my p9p xl

[@Kykot1999]

why do people change phones yearly or every 2 years? your pixel 8 pro has 6 more (7 total) years of software updates and security patches ahead of it Lol

[@getitgoat]

Dex is the number reason i cant switch from Samsung. Wish others will offer something similar.

[@mariowarioaz]

ultra all day better build quality better processor better battery pixel is still years behind apple and Samsung

[@titorg02]

I ended up returning my xl pro. I feel like its perfectly built but the processor is just not good enough

[@DJ-ru4im]

at minute 7:30 you discussed the charging speed. Your results differ significantly from other tech reviewers, who mentioned getting similar to the Google claimed speed. GSM Arena review got a result of 67% charge in 30 minutes. I am wondering what type of charger you used. Is it a PPS charger? PPS 45W would be necessary to get the claimed speeds by Google, and your results do not seem to be accurate. Edit: also, at 10:15 the Gemini icon is blue, not red, which indicates that Gemini Advanced is not being used. I wonder if this is why the response was wildly inaccurate, since Advanced is a far superior model? Do you have Gemini Advanced enabled?

[@CallMeKJOS]

@@DJ-ru4im that's weird. Ive done this test like 5-6 times and gave up. Definitely did not have 67% in 30 mins. I also watched MKBHD and he said his charged only up to 37/38Watts instead of 45W. I used a 66W charger.

[@CallMeKJOS]

@@DJ-ru4im to your edit yes it was enabled but to your comment I'll give it another test to be sure.

[@DJ-ru4im]

@@CallMeKJOS MKBHD is correct that 37W is the max charging speed for the XL, as claimed by Google. Google does not claim 45W charging, but rather sells a 45W PPS charger that covers the max of 37W. If it is charging at 37W, then it should charge from 0 to 70 in about 30 minutes. It doesn't matter if you use a 75W or 100W charger, the output will come down to the level accepted by the phone, and PPS is the technology that makes the phone charge more rapidly and efficiently. -The PCMag Pixel 9 Pro XL Review found that the phone charged from 0 to 100 in 1 hour and 25 mins. -The GSM Arena review found that the phone charged from 0 to 100 in 1 hour and 18 mins. These two results are comparable to each other, so if your phone is taking an hour/hour and a half to get to 70% I think that is a charger issue, and not a phone issue. I would suggest finding a PPS charger that is compatible to see if that resolves the issue. Either way, I will be receiving my Pixel Pro XL tomorrow, so I will be able to test it soon!

[@CallMeKJOS]

@@DJ-ru4im thanks for this bro. I'll check this and let you know.

[@DJ-ru4im]

@@CallMeKJOS Also, one other thing I am thinking of. Are you using a power adapter that has more than one port? If so, the different ports usually have different max outputs, with one having a much higher output than the others. Further, if you connect more than one device at the same time in the different ports, then total output (66W in your case) would be divided, for example 33W/33W with two devices connected.

[@MrHeHim]

I didnt like the large rounded edges at first, noticed the phone doesnt stab you when bending over anymore 😅👍 Only issue is U.I. related. Because of the rounded edge it cuts off corner buttons on some apps like Snapchat

[@mikeEvn]

I need that wallpaper? 🙏 Anyone know? Orange and blue

[@astrokrabs]

GREAT review!! My personal pixel journey... I got the 4a back when it came out, and I loved it! Stellar little budget camera. I finally upgraded to the 8 pro when THAT came out, and I was EXTREMELY disappointed. NOT worth the price imo. So many broken/failed promises as well. Google really needs to innovate their camera more... Oh well, at least I (hopefully) have 6 more years of updates 😂

[@CallMeKJOS]

Thanks for watching bro. Gonna give the 9 Pro XL it's redemption?

[@SarahBecker]

I am upgrading from my beloved Note 10+. I love this phone so much it has gotten damaged over the years. It's going to be hard to let it retire. I was offered an amazing deal on the pixel 9 pro xl from Verizon. I couldn't turn it down since i was in the market for an upgrade. I wanted the s24 ultra. There are no good deals and they are so expensive. Even refurbished one. So I have to go back to not having a sPen 😢. Thats my biggest hesitation. I have watched many reviews on these phones. I really liked yours. I personly played with the phones at the store compared them side by side. I like the feel of the round corners better. I loved the pixel cameras. It's not over processes and amazing quality. I buy smart phones for the camreas. I think the Pixel has the better camrea set up. I will miss the Spen. I will not miss all the stupid samsung apps. I look foward to pure Android. I also heard the Pixels plays nice with Apple. Samsung and Apple do not play nice together.

[@_EP794]

which are you daily driving apple, pixel, and s24 ultra?

[@CallMeKJOS]

@@_EP794 it's my job?

[@kpehe100]

10:55. The screenshot feature on Google is already on Samsung. Go to any website and take a screenshot and go back to your gallery, when you tap it it'll show you the option that can take you to the website. That feature is on the S24 series

[@CallMeKJOS]

Fair enough. But can you use bixby to have a conversation?

[@mmafanatic-tz5or]

How is that relevant to what the OP said? ​@@CallMeKJOS

[@micahjohnson9184]

​@CallMeKJOS Why does that matter? Bixby has it purpose for smaller task. In any case I can use Gemini, in the same fashion legit no difference to my knowledge and I didn't have a single issue summarizing your video with Gemini. It's been working incredibly well on my S23.

[@CallMeKJOS]

@@micahjohnson9184 a huge component of Pixel screenshot is how you can use Gemini advanced to interact with your screenshot

[@micahjohnson9184]

​@@CallMeKJOS That's cool! Thanks for the reply, much love. But I also have the ability to interact with screenshots with Gemini on my S23? I just tried it with Instagram. I swiped from the corner to activate it as normal, and at the top of the Gemini window, it says "ask about screen." When I hit it, it adds the screenshot and says "ask about screenshot." Even in the keynote, they were using an S24 Ultra to demonstrate some Gemini capabilities. So, I don't see Gemini as a difference in choosing one over the other. I'm sure they have their differences, but I don't think they're major.

[@MarioSeoane]

Most of the people impressed by the Pixel 9 pro are iPhone users who just discovered the beauty of Android in a "iPhone style" Android. For Galaxy users it feels like a step back in certain points. But the price is very tempting. I just got one Pixel 9 pro switching from my Galaxy 22. Overall ot is OK for the price, but nothing spectacular compared to Samsung.

[@Mezthecreator]

I dont like the fact that you can't unlock the pixel with fingerprint when idle without waking it up, then battery king is actually honor magic 6 pro for Androids beating the ip15pro max also. I see the portrait is still awful on pixel and Google need to start investing on improving their camera hardware, it's showing its age with over processed photos sometimes or hard situations. Compared to like xiaomi 14 ultra or vivo x100 pro. Video boost also is not going to typical for everyone cause it requires internet, large storage and patience😂. Well overall it's a decent phone that still needs to improve. For i have to say its overpriced especially with 128gb starting storage size. Also the zoom transition between lenses is terrible compared to the iPhone. I don't know when they would fix that together with social media camera integration

[@CallMeKJOS]

Technically you can if you have AOD.

[@Mezthecreator]

@@CallMeKJOS That's another battery killer, I can unlock my phone from idle on my xiaomi 11 ultra without touching the power button or AOD. Does it allow to set a double tap to wake?

[@casperswift]

Geekbench 5 vs geekbench 6 is a little disengeuous because they score differently.

[@robo4ikentag]

Geekbench v5 for Pixel and v6 for s24 ultra, 😅, are you ok?

[@CallMeKJOS]

Tired of explaining this.

[@QAZ2453]

I had the s24 ultra but now have the 9 pro xl. The pixel is next level smooth. Don't worry about what people say. The screen isn't all that on the Samsung and it isn't all that when it comes to real world useage

[@connoisseurm103]

You mentioned changing the USB cable for fast charging but that is redundant. You need to be using a fast charging power brick. 45W min otherwise your results are not accurate. A good overall review and comparison though.

Don't forget to go to display settings on your pixel and change from high resolution to full resolution.

You will sacrifice battery life so best to only set when watching steaming

The S-Pen is not a gimmick on any level… It’s quite functional in many ways. Great video either way, new sub 👍🏾

[@mden2490]

I’m an iPhone 15 Pro user and I agree with you. The S-Pen I really believe is what predominantly separates this phone from the Google phone. I believe it says a lot about the demographics between the users of both phones. Pixels users may be more AI/ social media driven, whereas S24 Ultra users are more multitasking/ power users.
