Pixel 9 Pro XL: What About The Future?

[@wackyxx3388]

the pixel 9 xl is my first pixel ever. i liked the phone so much i upgarded to 1tb version. ill keep till it dies. my best features is the ultrawide camera is really good along with the selfie. it is the first reliable andriod camera by far comparing to iphone. in short it is a reliable camera and reliable phone overall.

[@leophoenix1452]

You do not use its assitance and voice Note app?

[@mds19899]

There is no 1tb version bud who u lying to?

[@BigJeffroeX438]

Thanks for the video my friend I'm really happy and very surprised how good my pixel 9 Pro XL runs and functions. I guess I was one of the lucky ones and never had any issues with any of my pixels devices. from the 6 to the 9 Pro XL

[@majtechtings]

I'd really like to know what folks are doing with their phones to where the g4 chip needs a boost. If you're playing gacha games all day, then i can see the point but otherwise? You're doomscrolling whatever apps you're on, taking pics and video and that's about it. The 9 pro XL has been stellar. I'm on the OnePlus Open currently (missed my foldable)and it has a s8 gen 2 and is still lightning quick. I despise the benchmark convo lol.

[@klnskljafdskl]

It's the T4 chip, not G4

[@majtechtings]

@klnskljafdskl it's literally named the tensor G4 chip. Google is your friend.

[@POVwithRC]

It's clear they are doing more than you are. Relax. Your personal anecdote doesn't mean much. ​@@klnskljafdskl

[@_WF23]

The phone wasn’t even good enough for you, to stick to 😂

[@majtechtings]

@_WF23 funny part about this? I'm literally typing my comment to you on it while my foldable charges. I change phones as often as you make assumptions.

[@CoachD77]

I had the XL Pro but I swapped it for the Pixel 9 Pro for the smaller form factor. I'm enjoying the performance of my phone, with Nova Launcher. I plan to keep this for several years, very satisfied. Appreciate the continued content and updates!

[@wackyxx3388]

whats the animation settings u use for nova. do u notice exiting jitter? have 9 xl too

[@kwl189]

How’s the battery life on the XL Pro and how does it differ to the 9 Pro?

[@NorthlanderMN]

Still love my Pixel 7. Its 2 years old now. It'll get 3 more years of Android. Im a middle aged guy and will never play video games on any phone. Driven around the country and it does great. Takes fantastic pictures and videos. Its fast and I've never noticed a heat issue. Battery holds up great. Previously had a 13 mini and 2as bored to death with IOS. Before that has an S9 and loved that thing. Gave it to my cousin and its still going strong.

[@andredegelder7383]

7 pro here, never had any issues too. Maybe going for a 10 pro, depending on the price:) only problem I have is the large size of the 7 pro.

[@Jan_Capek]

Friendly reminder: You are starting to be a little bit repetitive. Anyway, you always forget to put this topic to the perspective of video recording capabilities. Note the plan of Google to handle video boost capabilities locally on-device for Tensor 6.

[@dirty_mike]

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed he seems to be posting basically the same stuff about the same phones over and over recently.

[@neilmcguinness4422]

Now THAT would be a potential game changer for Google.

[@ALLUK633]

Yes his boring with his lame videos, especially with this pixel boring phone

[@Wittygoose9341]

Yes sometimes feels like content for the sake of it.

[@jaywright9635]

Pixel phones are great smartphones. Benchmarks are for a unique set of nerds, to be honest 😂. Day to day usage is all that matters, to MOST smartphone users. And the Pixel performs great. I'm using an iPhone 15 Pro Max along with my 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel is the one that I use the most. Smart features, call screening, photography, bright screen, Gemini AI, etc is why I'll proudly keep using my 9 Pro XL. ❤

[@tjc501]

I'm running both as well and I'm coming to the same conclusion.

[@lowridinpacker]

Great video and spot on. Totally agree, love my Pixel 9 Pro XL

[@JosephHurtsellers]

Warning, long post... I'm passionate about the stuff too Adam. Love your videos ❤️ I'm using a OP12... (Coming up from a Pixel 5). Side by side the massive speed really doesn't make much of a difference. My gripe with the Pixel 5 has always been terrible radio, puny battery life, slow charging, and the worst overheating I've ever experienced on any device. When a new Google phone comes out, often its shortcomings are skipped by some (not Adam) reviewers. These same reviewers often also miss features in other phones that are currently in the market. (Again not Adam) Since Schmidt left, Google has changed direction every time the wind blows. -- Only after ChatGPT did Google discover its "vision" for an AI future. The pixel9 IS an Incredible phone. But it is NOT future-proofed until Google figures out its leadership. I'm going to wait a year or two and see what happens. A more powerful processor may be needed to handle whoever wins the AI space race, and I'm not convinced it will be Google. In the meantime I'm very happy with the features on my OnePlus 12 that cannot be replaced with software... and empty promises.

[@AlexC_90]

The real weak point of the pixel series up to the tensor g3 was the modem. This G4, although not very powerful, manages to be balanced and makes the user experience really good!

[@xMel21x]

Exactly, they will use Mediatek modem on the Tensor G5

[@stubman6867]

Pixel 9 series phones are pretty and lured a bunch of Apple users this year. Kudos to them, but I feel like the enthusiast community is still waiting to upgrade.

[@lowridinpacker]

I am an enthusiast, I upgraded to Pixel 9 pro XL and if you are waiting, I feel sorry for you. This phone blows iphones away. Never going back

[@rajah316]

I'm enjoying my Google Pixel 9Pro XL. I was never a fan of the Samsung S24+ & or Ultra series. I really miss having the Samsung Galaxy Note phones. I will probably keep my Google Pixel 9Pro XL for atleast another 2 years.

[@asianstud7]

The ultra is the note. What's the difference?

[@rajah316]

@asianstud7 actually it's not it's a rip off version & the note. I've had the ultra in the past & had way to many software problems.

[@fboost]

How is it a rip off version?, name aside it is literally a note. 🤷 Personally I don't like the s24u form factor anymore and will be trading it in but I have had zero software issues on the s24u. Currently enjoying my pixel 9 Pro xl though.​@@rajah316

[@Lefty7788tinkatolli]

The Ultra literally is the Note in all but name

[@fraghead9813]

​@rajah316 it's literally an upgraded note. I havnt had a single software issue since the s22 ultra.

[@Adamoji]

[@MRBarton369]

This was a great reminder to those who need explanations for everything. Most won't listen or understand but some will. After owning a Steak Deck and understanding that the enjoyment was about my best use of the device, it dawned on me how crucial optimization is with tech. The game I play most on my Pixel runs almost exactly the same as it does on phones with the newest chips. Close enough that this particular trade off is so amazingly worth it compared to other things with other phones. This Pixel 9 Xl Pro has become my favorite phone in many many years, it's a great device that works with my life incredibly well. Great video as always fella, thank you.

[@goodoldjr83]

Swapped my S22 Ultra for a Pixel 9 Pro XL and couldn't be happier. No lag at all, cameras are fantastic and Gemini integration with this phone is amazing. In real world use, unless you're a super heavy gamer, this is all the power you need.

[@frank-efingerz127]

My pixel 9pro xl ... Damn... My Bluetooth is still garbage... My lte connectivity is still garbage... I'm probably gonna get a different one. Never EVER had so much trouble with a phone lately.

[@samirstanton86]

Damn you must be so unlucky. The connectivity is a different tier compared to previous pixel phones.

[@xMel21x]

Still using Samsung modems. That's why on the Tensor G5 will be built from TSCM.

[@JosephHurtsellers]

@@frank-efingerz127 honestly it's what I figured. We will see, but I've heard all of these glowing reviews for so long. It's almost as if there is a Google algorithm that pushes positive reviews to the front of KZbin. But that could never happen so that must just be my imagination.

[@frank-efingerz127]

The bugs I've experienced since the last update have been terrible.. I hope it gets fixed.

[@jeremytucker2588]

Had both the S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 pro max but my Pixel 9 Pro XL is such a fun phone. The AI features are just top notch. It's fast enough for me so I don't care about benchmarks. Love my Pixel phone.

[@brianthomas1773]

You didn't like the S24 Ultra as much as your Pixel 9?

[@EnzoGarcia-w6t]

We got the pixel 9 pro XL and love it!! We have been iphone and samsung users... and this google phone is impressive in every way!

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

I wonder what Google will do with the 10 Pro XL this year, next to VIVO X200 Pro, 9 Pro XL has the best smartphone camera. 😊❤

[@wackyxx3388]

most consistent camera on any andriod by far.

[@leophoenix1452]

Just watch what the s25 ultra does to it and many other phones this year... One thing i know is that the GOOGLE PIXEL 10 PRO XL will not dissapoint....

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

@leophoenix1452 hate Samsung phones, S24 Ultra camera was crap compared to my VIVO X200 Pro

[@SkebabaFXTrading-in8gy]

I love the pixel 9 pro XL especially but I will take the Vivo 200 pro, I think the price makes it more appealing. You can't go wrong with any but Vivo zoom is miles ahead of any smartphone I know. I hate the pixel portraits but love it's normal pictures and even video.

[@madmann6723]

Google’s intent isn’t a gaming device or a bench mark warrior. They’re building a device around their software & AI experience. I think what we’ll see with the TSMC chip is a better modem, a more efficient NPU, better overall battery efficiency and thermals. I don’t think we’ll see anything crazy as far as scores. Phones are so OP already lol.😂

[@kfcc66]

Hit the nail on the head. As long as they keep improving the Soc efficiency, heat dissapation, battery and power, it will result in a great user experience. The other main thing is a better modem as well. With the G4 they've done a good job from improving from the G3. Excited to see the P10/P11 pros with the G5/G6 improvements to come.

[@drestrick3899]

Idk my pixel has been being laggy, having lots if touch response failures, and app freezing. It could be some apps I've downloaded tho but im not sure however ill know in a week when my oppo x8 pro arrives 🤣🤣🤣 so ill be back with an update lol

[@viper29ca]

Have a 9XL. The only time the battery heats up, is if I am watching my Nest Cams on Google Home for long periods of time. Other than that, it has run everything flawlessly. Couple games I play are decently graphic intensive, and has been butter smooth with no heat issues.

[@SheilaHensley]

Good review. I'm glad I chose the 9 Fold which is working great so far. It is really nice to like and trust my phone again. However, I haven't had an update yet. That's when problems crop up sometimes. 😂

[@richwilliams9895]

For its about how good the phone will feel in a couple years. If the Pixel 7 is anything to go by then it struggles on more demanding things. pre ordered the oneplus 13 as im not into AI, i like oxygen OS, a decent battery etc.

[@sigmitnavn]

I have a Galaxy s24 as company phone and use the 9 pro xl as my personal device, i can not feel or see any difference between them in any way. So much for benchmark tests...

[@davidpitts4277]

I'm really curious about how the MediaTek modem is going to do.

[@Pomacat]

Pixel 9 pro XL is a good phone unless you're a gamer it's all you need.

[@Myke001]

And even then, it depends what type of games you're playing. For the couple I play nothing too intense, it's perfectly capable

[@truthstillistruth1602]

I too think that performance is good enough. I would love if they focus on efficiency over max power. No heat issues, more screentime and stable performance much more needed than peak performance. As far as I know google phones get steady performance in tests without strongly noticeable throttling because of "crippling" their less efficient Samsung processor. I think that's a good thing if it shows advantages in obove mentioned areas.

[@bratanvova]

It's simple. It's just not good enough when it comes to power. But Google charges for it like as if it is on the same level.

[@TheF15Mechanic]

Great analogies video. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is great for those who have it

[@jeffreyarnold5887]

everytime I watch your videos and I look away, I can see the acoustic paneling imprinted in my vision in a really weird way. never had this issue before until recently.

[@nvwine]

When talking benchmarks how does the 45 tokens per second compare to other top tier phones?

[@RemingtonMK]

I got my Pixel 9 Pro a week ago. Traded in my Galaxy Z Fold 5. Very very happy going back to a slab phone. Was tired of carrying a brick with me everywhere, so the 9 Pro is the perfect size for me (and I have big hands.) I will admit that when it comes to the flagships, it all comes down to personal preference. Right now, I prefer the Pixel experience

[@KianFloppa]

future ai upscaling in games will massively save the performance

[@JustBrad83]

Switched from an iPhone 15 pro max for a lot of reasons but the only gripe I have with Android is I'd love to be able to change the lock screen in terms of the now playing (widget?) when I'm driving its so hard to hit the little next arrow on the screen in such a small box lol. Otherwise the 9 pro xl's been amazing.

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

Only time I really care about benchmarks is when I was overclocking a gaming PC or doing something like that other than that benchmark's just so the max raw power of the device

[@johnmac341]

It's alright to have your favorites but I think its fair to say if the google chip benchmarked better you would highlight their outstanding benchmarks. If benchmarks re so unimportant put a tenser 2 in the pixel 10. n the end we all want a phone that just works. My question is would you defend Samsung or apple if they put a 3 year old chip in their next phone after all those would compare with the tenser?

[@omarreid7222]

You benchmark lovers are a unique set of people. Too much ifs. If if if if... just buy a laptop man

[@neilmcguinness4422]

Of course you are right. It is just lazy of Google to fit such second rate chips in their flagships. And then have the nerve to charge over the odds for them. If Pixel users don't grow a pair and start criticizing Google for this, then they will continue to get shafted.

[@shaunod6745]

I think in the future, google and others will use the smartphone as a main portable hub surrounded by more and more devices that connect to it, and AI will work in cohesion with them all. So i think things like smart glasses will use the phone to do the processing to keep the smart small enough and lightweight. The same could be done with larger vr headsets for more impressive features like watching movies, spacial computing, etc. I think homes will have sensors for various things that will be able to help people more such as allowing the emergency services to connect if the devices detect if anyone needs immediate help. The next 10 to 20 years will be really interesting when it comes to tech.

[@tonimendoza5959]

Yo tengo el 9 pro XL y cero problemas el teléfono va muy bien y rápido en todo lo que le pido ,vengo de un s24 ultra y 15 pro Max y no le veo ninguna diferencia a rendimiento,por mi parte muy contento con el pixel

[@megamegaO]

I never really bothered checking the specs...these phones are all fast as is

[@ChienRouge318]

A flagship would be the headquarters for the task force and where an Admiral would direct the activities of other ships.

[@Byron915]

Pixel 9 Pro XL🎉

[@DMcDaniel1984]

I wish they would put out an update to stop the weird Idiosyncrasy with HDR video content. I notice it on TikTok, IG, and FB. - It makes it where you cant ready any of the text at the bottom of the HDR videos. - This is why I keep going back to my S23U after using the P9PXL for maybe a day. Lol

[@Gary0557]

People that say the Pixel 9 Pro sucks, look at the benchmarks. 😂

[@DETOX-x4i]

i think about the modem and how the connectivity will be better

[@mcericx]

even when it comes to benchmarks.. like why is geekbench scoring barely double in multi core than in sincle core when there are 7 more cores. its just a different tuning. others run all cores at max to reach a higher score

[@Pixeltalkz]

How will Linux improve the Android 16 experience ?

[@stevec5465]

I skipped the 9 pro this year as I'm using the P8P. Hoping to see that's coming with the p10p.

[@sanfordkells887]

I still have the 8PRO as well and it's been terrific!

[@KornyKornball]

If future Pixel Pro Xl's had a Stylus I think that'd be Game Changing. I could see lots of Samsung Users that only use the Ultra variants jumping ship.

[@Myke001]

I would love to try a stylus on a pixel. All the Samsung Ultra users I know, never actually use the stylus, which really surprised me

[@KornyKornball]

@Myke001 ice got the S23 Ultra and I never used it til I started using the photo & video editing app called Capcut.

[@terrypolson3731]

My new pixel 9 runs great and battery life much better than my s22.

[@murtazachaudhary3339]

Nice video

[@KJR585]

If you want a gaming phone buy a chip built for that . I'm a huge apple fan but if I was gaming a lot on my phone and things like Ray tracing and 120 frames per second we're that important I would buy Samsung or any android with the capability and chipset . That being said I absolutely love this pixel 9 pro xl . It seriously is the best thing googles done with a phone, also for anyone on the fence that bought the iphone 16 pm . This phone is just impressive . I think it at a minimum is a five year phone . I haven't been able to put it down . Zero heat issues ,haptics are crazy good . Screen is better . Sound is great and the video camera may not be that of the iphone but it isn't as bad as some are making out to be . In fact I like it better than the s24 video capability. I'm glad I bought one that's for sure

[@SkebabaFXTrading-in8gy]

Naaah, the reason I backed down from buying a pixel is the chip. It's one of my favourites when it comes to camera but I backed down just because of that

[@SolitaryCrypto]

You not doing anything on your phone to even push that chip to its limit

[@neilmcguinness4422]

​@@SolitaryCryptoHow do you know that he or she isn't a hardcore gamer, with all due respect.

@ A hardcore gamer would go for a gaming phone. You know the phones that are designed inside and out for hardcore gamers 😉

[@mwt5040]

Pixel 9 pro xl is the best phone I've ever had 🤷🏾‍♂️ but I haven't tried the 8 elite.

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

I'm thinking about buying this phone in about 5 days when I get paid I would have to buy the unlocked version because I have cricket wireless The best phone they offer is either the S24 or the iPhone 16 and I definitely wouldn't get the iPhone I'm an Android guy I'm not against iPhones but I just like Android

[@ALLUK633]

Ohhh, not again, pixel.

[@savvyside]

I have the Pixel 9 xl pro. I have the S24 ultra also. They both are plenty fast. I switch back and forth but I am dragging my feet to switch away from the pixel

[@asianstud7]

What do you like better about your pixel over the Samsung?

[@Zeppherous]

Cant decide between Pixel 9 Pro XL 256gb for $1000 cad from a friend or $1200 for iPhone 16 Pro Max 256gb from friend lol

[@OREODOLPHIN]

How about Honda Civic at 70 mile/hour is going to be as fast at the Lambo at 70 mile/hour....lol Using the Pixel to open Facebook, KZbin, or play Candy Crush is going to give you the same experience as the Galaxy and the iPhone. No one will ever going to notice the differences....!

It is always the people that have never used one that give them hate.

You’re regurgitating the same shii bro. At the end of the day, nobody respects the Tensor chip. Lower the prices, if you’re going to use a mediocre chipset.

[@Character-j1r]

And if Tensor did get a 4GHz chip yall still gonna complain

[@UsmanAli-ve6tq]

Google is ripping its customers off with this hardware. The Pixel pro XL should be no more than a £800, 256gb model. Current pricing is a joke! You can get s24 ultra for around £800.

[@tonimendoza5959]

Para 99 de las personas es suficiente,yo te pongo un 15 pro Max un 24 ultra y el pixel 9 pro XL y no vas a notar nada en el rendimiento,ay que probar los teléfonos antes de opinar que el tensor es malo ,la tabla de especificaciones no me dicen nada ,lo importante es la optimización del teléfono y en eso Google es muy top

[@CFC_44]

The 16 pro has been very buggy for me, comparing to my previous 12 pro max, 14 pro and 15 pro max, this model is nowhere near as smooth!
