Pixel 9 Pro XL After 1 Week : Everything You Need To Know

All these nit picky complaints and my question is what da fq do you all use these phones for? 99.99% only use social media, and a few apps, no one really use it to launch a rocket.

[@florin521]

I think it's about longevity. Cuz with the same performance you can get an Galaxy S22 Ultra for instance which is 50% cheaper

[@JJB34T5]

​@@florin521Longevity is definitely a consideration, but honestly my Pixel 4a still works well to this day, with the only real decline being in the battery life, which is normal. In my opinion modern phones are more than powerful enough for what the average user is using them for. Lots of people use older devices and have no real issues. They may no longer be the fastest devices on the market, but still fast enough

[@Myke001]

​@@florin521if that's what people are thinking, they should just get the S22U and move on with their lives

[@hiibillymayshere4238]

It's about being given a fair and competitive product. If you're paying 1000 plus for a phone, priced similarly with it's competitors. You better believe I'm going to be nitpicky. Imagine paying the same as the top competitors but it doesn't perform on par with them. That is not fair trade. People want what they pay for. Simple as that. And longevity. If you're paying premium prices. Nitpicking is acceptable.

[@Landofhim]

I want to play games, especially the one I play most days, so if it can't do that...

These phones are insanely good man. I was watching an unboxing of S24 Ultra, that of several other phones too and nothing much sets them apart. Phones today can't fail you.

[@MrChadLedford]

The pixel 9 pro xl is the best phone I have used in the past 4 years. I swap a lot. I have no idea why everyone nitpicks the pixel more than every other phone. It's getting odd at this point.

[@davidbrown6137]

What other phones have you tried?

[@I95KING]

Could not agree more! The nit picking is lame they wont do it with the others. I current have nothing phone 2 OnePlus 12 and the iPhone 15 pro max and this pixel keeps up with them all the build quality is top notch camera is always solid and for all the tensor g4 bashing it keeps up with what I need I suspect it will do just fine with most everyone else because they are not going to be pushing it to the limits it's just not how phones are used. Nevertheless the nit pick on pixel narrative is clearly a theme yet they all will claim they want competition for Sammy and Apple but bash anything that attempts to do just that. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Don't get it

[@spartanpatriot3163]

​@@davidbrown6137I have an 8pro, S23U and a 1+12pro and the Pixel is superior in almost every way except for gaming and battery life.

[@FrankiePacino]

it's not top tier but priced like one .. .that's why

[@ModestlyAmazing]

I'm guessing they nitpick it more because it's relatively new in the "flagship" scene from a well known company; where as you know what you're going to be getting with an iPhone, or Samsung, or any of the Chinese top brands by this point. So for a $1000+ plus phone, it should be on par with everything else.

Picked up a regular Pixel 9, upgraded from the 6A. I just use it for texting, calls, KZbin, and banking. Don’t really need a pro camera or any social media besides WhatsApp

My favorite Pixel (xl pro). The features are ahead of the competition. Camera is the best I've seen on a phone. The new squared edges are great. Face unlock is really good.

Great review! I got my Pro XL a few days ago so I was keen to see what other people's thoughts were on it. I've used exclusively pixels since the first one (Pixel, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 5, Pixel 7 Pro and now Pixel 9 Pro XL) I know they don't stack up to the likes of Samsung spec wise, but I can't describe how much I hate the OS on Samsung's and I don't particularly like the design either. Once I experienced clean Android as Google intended, there was no going back for me, I toyed with the idea of getting a device from Nothing but the new design of the Pixel 9's and the new AI integration sold me.

I jumped ship from Samsung after 12+ years and replaced the Note 10 Plus with the 9 Pro XL. And so far it's been freaking amazing. I admittedly don't play more demanding games than Whiteout Survival, but I haven't noticed any stuttering at all. It feels buttery smooth no matter what I do, and handles multitasking like a champ. And truth be told, that goes for most phones today. Screw the benchmarks, the XL feels smooth AF.

I think with all this AI trend adaptations on cellphones, a lot of stuff may initially be gimmicky and maybe with time fit in some really interesting and day to day useful stuff for the masses. Overall, that phone looks pretty good in my opinion. Thanks for the review.👍

[@andyH_England]

So far, the AI features on the Pixel are 80% gimmicky and 20% useful. I prefer a more balanced ratio of 50:50, subjectively. Even the good AI features, like Object Eraser, are only useful if you send them to the cloud. However, in the iOS 18.1 beta, this functionality can be performed on the device. Additionally, iOS AI offers “Writing Tools” across various system apps and notification summaries, which are genuine added values. It’s evident that Apple may be slightly behind in this race due to their annual release schedule, but they currently have a superior edge. I anticipate Google to copy many of these features sooner rather than later. As Samsung leases Gemini AI for its Galaxy AI, it will also gain access to those features.

[@Bigj0110]

What they should've done with the AI is either merge the AI into the current Google Assistant and or have Google Assistant merge into the current AI. By that I mean that they should've taken all the features that exist exclusively to the AI now and just combine that into the current Google Assistant. Or they should've just taken all the features and capabilities that are exclusive to the Google Assistant and then merge them into the new AI app before releasing it. Then what they do is they just use the current voice and chat setup in the current Google AI. So overall, the conversations and responses would be more fluid, more intelligent, more detailed and more personalized etc. Instead, they just give us an app that's not really a "personal assistant" of any kind in my opinion lol (which to me it's more of just a normal AI app). I wish that they would've just done what apples doing with Siri. By merging an AI platform into Siri to become more intelligent, rather than have a brand new app that's supposed to replace the current Google Assistant (in my personal opinion it's not really an assistant because it doesn't really have any "assistant" functionality/capabilities). So honestly, I'm an Android guy through and through since day 1 and I've never really liked the iPhone at all either (after actually trying them). With that being said though, I actually like the new Siri better than the current Google Assistant and the new Google AI by far (I think that Apple really has the upper hand in terms of having a great assistant with AI merged/built right into it).

It looks to be a decent phone, but for the price there's a couple issues. The base memory being 128gb The slow ass charging The abilty to handle demanding games. Everything else seems to be amazing though

[@DWtechfan]

Even iPhone and Galaxy were doing 128 GB of memory for years before they finally upped it. Slower charging equals less battery degradation. And you shouldn't buy a smartphone for intensive games, like at all. You should buy a PC or game console for that and Pixels run basic to somewhat heavy games pretty well. You should never buy any phone thinking it'll totally satisfy you or be perfect. Each phone has its own trade offs and everything you posted here is minor when considering all the upgrades that Google gave the 9 lineup this year.

[@pablonescafebar6043]

1. Preorder deal had free upgrade to double storage, plus free 2TB cloud storage. I got 512GB, and with trade in it was only £700 overall. 2. Charging is fast enough (37W) if you have the right charger, specific models of anker and ugreen work not just google own 3. I played call of duty on max settings consistent 120fps, no screem dimming and only getting slightly warm - watch the stress test betweem iphone pro max, s24u and P9Pro xl - samsung absolutely failed, screen dimmed, graphics settings reduced etc, while pixel stayed consistent the longest.

I think it’s because the Pixel offers something unique that’s hard to quantify in a simple score. The stock Android experience is super clean and fast, and you get exclusive features like real-time transcription, Magic Eraser, and top-tier AI integration. Plus, the camera software is amazing , it turns casual shots into something pro looking with minimal effort. Add to that the fast updates and long support, and it just feels like a phone made for everyday ease.
