Apart from that, Iqoo 3 is designed for Gaming and i believe that also too helped a bit for video 📹 purpose 👍🏻

No chance. iPhone and Samsung phones are vertically integrated and work superb within their ecosystem esp. iPhone. iPhone also have far superior video quality and very comparable (depends on liking) raw photo quality. Resale value of Pixel is just a fraction of what a similarly priced iPhone can fetch you.

[@MOON-Hkr]

@@EndWokenessAtAllCost Everything has to go down, i would rather say there is something called saturation point. There was a time when blackberry used to be one of the most famous and demanding Phone companies but today we can see it's vanished. Therefore saying no chance to compete with Apple and Samsung is quite brainless.

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

@@MOON-Hkr It's well researched,. Don't form opinion based on tech reviewer. Watch MKBHD, MrWHoseTheBoss. Read about the device in TechRadar, The Verge, Ars Technica. None of them call it a worthy competitor to replace current premium phones from Samsung and Apple. Google neither has the scale nor the after sales support to match these two. These phones are ridiculously priced for what they bring to the table.

These corporates are doing business without any ethics at all. So they know the phone would heat up if there is no vaper cooling but they deliberately did not give that feature on the normal pixel 9 whereas they put that on the pixel 9 premium version and call it a premium feature? Same like old dirty theory of pay more if you need airbags on your car?? How does that make sense? How can they even release a product that heats up to consumers and expect them to adjust if they can't afford to pay more for the premium versions?? Clear violation of consumer rights.

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

Lol.

[@KushalPandya]

Pixel aftersales support is terrible, especially in India, as firstly, they've partnered with third-party warranty provider which also handles other smartphone brands like Motorola & Asus. If your device requires warranty, these service centers would collect it and send it to a centralised location and you'll be waiting for your phone for multiple weeks (without any option of loaner). Also, even if device is repairable in situations like water damage, Google India would quote the repair cost as high as cost of new device itself. In short, buy Pixel only if you are sure that you're never going to need after-sales support. Otherwise get Samsung, Apple, OnePlus, or even Xiaomi as a camera phone that generates fake photos is not worth this hassle.

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

Exactly. Ranjit didn't even even mention it even once. Google support is very poor in India. Also, resale value of Pixel devices is very poor, Samsung fetch higher price and no comparison at all with iPhone.

[@imarchit]

@@EndWokenessAtAllCost Pixel has partnered with F1 same as Apple + They have launched exclusive stores for Pixel in Delhi and Bangalore, with a Mumbai store opening as well in the future (Same-Day repair option available), hopefully with time more such stores will open.

[@repeatrepeatrepeat]

yes my pixel 4a was sitting with their service centre for nearly a month. and the problem is that you can't directly talk to their service centre. You have to talk to google support and they get in touch with f1 if there are any issues with repair. They have opened new walk-in across india now but even these are managed by third party and when i tried to contact one by phone, i had a terrible experience. The repair person from f1 was least interested in helping a customer.

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

​@@imarchit What's the deal with stores opening when after sales support is not good? Nothing entered so much later than Pixel in India and yet it's support service is leaps and bounds ahead.

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

An extremely poor purchase. Try to exchange or sell it, it won't fetch you even 50% of it's value in 1 year, similarly priced iPhone 15 Plus would have fetched you way higher. Performance is vastly inferior to Samsung and iPhone, doesn't matter if you purchase such an expensive phone just to browse the internet and click pictures. Video quality is vastly inferior to iPhone and Samsung. Only department it is better is raw photos and not by a big margin. Google support is not good, Apple is exceptional and Samsung is very good.

Same. I have the iphone 13pro max and am looking to upgrade this year. Pixel 9 fold has really caught my eye. Will probably wait till the 16 pro reviews before making a decision but the pixels have been very compelling this year

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

@@rishavbadola7357 13 Pro Max is vastly inferior to 15 Pro max, having used both I can absolutely say this. 16 Pro Max is going to be so much better than this year's Pixel devices. 16 Pro Max will fetch way higher resale value than any other phone in the market when you either exchange or sell it in next 3-5 years. Video quality is unmatched in an iPhone. If you own a Mac or any other Apple device, the ecosystem and seamless experience is best in the world.

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

@@rishavbadola7357 Please follow more reputed tech channels and websites. Value proposition and longevity of Pixel devices is very inferior to iPhone and Samsung S series. And at significantly lesser price, Nothing phones are superb.

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

@@rishavbadola7357 iPhone 15 Pro Max is much better than your current phone. 16 will be even better. iPhones are far more powerful, better thermals, retain far higher resale value, best all round camera with unmatched video quality, and well integrated into Apple ecosystem.

I have used both the S24+ and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and by far in terms of performance doing intensive operations, I. E. DoorDash, Uber and Lyft, the Google pixel nine Pro XL drains very fast compared to the S 24+ sips on the battery. When I attempt to charge the battery when doing intensive things, the Google pixel 9 Pro XL charges extremely slow. I will say it is good for day-to-day usage for normal activities,, Facebook, Instagram, checking email, texting. Yes, in those instances, the battery life is very good. Overall, Samsung has them beat except in the camera department, which they are pretty close. if Google would just ditch that tensor project and go with a snapdragon processor, it would be game over and I would definitely switch and stay with the Google pixel phones

24:06 thats what i wanted to hear, the future of this device, because its very obvious that the present of this device is going to be "butter smooth" , "fluid" & whatever adjectives you want to give it now, but there's that Indian mentality of ours, to use something to an extent where it stops working😂😂 & if someone is promising a longer functioning of a device like this (with things like 7 years updates , etc. ) then in that case, it becomes very obvious for us to test that for that long (atleast till 5-6 years if not complete 7 years, because 4 years is given by every company nowadays for the updates & obviously they're charging so much high for that)....so right now the next 6 months - 1 year is going to be absolutely fine, but after that, that's where we need to know n see
