Pixel 9 Pro: 1 Month Later - I was VERY Wrong! (HONEST Review)

[@Ampedup562]

After using the Pixel, it’s tough to switch back to an iPhone. I tried it a couple of times and each time, I was back to the Pixel.

[@abdullenoir1792]

Pixel makes spotty hardware. I had a pixel 4 xl that died on me suddenly for no reason. Then I had a pixel 6 that would constantly overheat during my commute to and from work in the summertime. After that I said screw pixels. If you’re buying an android get a Samsung. Or get an IPhone. Both brands are more reliable than Google.

People obsess too much on gaming. If you want gaming, get a console or PC. I feel like the Pixel 9 series is the step forward that Google needed. I’ve been a fan since the 4a and always seen their potential. They are finally reaching it now. I have an 8a now and considering upgrading to a 9 during Black Friday.

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

It’s because many actually do play mobile games on their phones, it’s why Apple now supports triple A games on the iPhone. But even something that’s been built with mobile in mind like Genshin can be demanding. I’m not saying phones need to be the absolute best for gaming nor that should it be the number one priority, just that phones should be able to handle games decently well. Because again, many people play demanding mobile games.

[@LatencyProblem]

If you can charge a premium for a weaker chipset. No amount of efficiency can justify that.

[@kamalghimire4148]

Using pixel 7 for almost 2 years and it keeps getting better with updates and also can feel the battery life improving or at least not degrading with time. Making their past phones better with updates is what google is doing right for its consumers. Also no need to worry about feeling like being in a digital prison of apple ecosystem. I am using windows, chromebooks, earpods and watch of my choice. It makes so much sense for not using an iphone.

[@jmtm82]

Google truly nailed it with the pixel 9 series this time. As someone who’s used over 500 phones, I usually switch my main phone 3 to 4 times a year, rotating through the galaxy S series > Z series > then iphones, which has been my pattern for years. Until now, the pixel phones never made it as my primary device, had the Pixel 8 as my back up as they fixed up most of issues from the old ones. However, I’m currently using the pixel 9 pro as my main phone, having returned my iPhone 16 pro max. The fact that this phone convinced me to stick with it over the latest iphone speaks volumes. For me, the pixel 9 pro is the only android phone that’s truly matched the "silky smooth" ui experience match to an iphone. There’s none of those usual "micro stutter or lag" you find on all android devices, including the latest galaxy S24 series. If you are thinking of upgrading from an older android or bored with your iphone... give this one a try. You will likely love it! However, as already mentioned. If you are into serious gaming on your phone, don't buy it cause you will be disappointed.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Smooth is overrated

[@jmtm82]

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN You can say all you want, but at least give it a try one day. The iphone's "smoothness" was unmatched with any android phones for me until I used the pixel 9 pro, and my previous phone was the fold 6. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons for many people still stick with their iphones.

I have the nine pro XL, and the only reason I got the XL is because nobody had the regular pro in stock. I feel a little scammed because I had to pay an extra $200 for size that I didn't want. I don't really get the benefit of a larger screen, but aside from that part of it, it is a great phone, and it's the best looking pixel to date. I agree that the AI is, for the most part, not just an afterthought.

Let's be clear; app makers have always optimized their apps for IOS and done the worst with Android that's why social media images and videos have looked the worst on various platforms, but reviewers don't talk about that and most just don't know that. My other point: there needs to be a new conversation and not the same talking points about powerful; the new dynamic is now about A.I power performance. The current benchmarks are outdated and never really made much sense because most phone buyers/ users do not care about the sound loudness quality of the external speakers nor heavy duty gaming. Power users and reviewers care about that stuff and that's a small sample size. Great video as always though!

[@denn3505]

It is easy for developers to develop apps for IOS because there are only few IOS models out there and they're all made by apple,On the other hand there are 100s of android phone models which are made by 100s of companies so optimizing apps for each and every android phone is a very hard thing

As someone considering a change from iphone to the pixel 9 pro this was a very interesting watch.

I don't have any serious complaints specific to my model iphone but I sure do with the whole Apple vs everyone else crap they put us through. I own a dual boot pc I've built myself and Apple vs Microsoft/Linux/anything that isn't Mac or IOS is a pain in the a**. Same with the BS texting anyone using an android.

On the iPhone 16 pro max, after using android for two years and Pixel 9 Pro XL for a few months. Pixel 9 pro xl for me is the best phone I used this year by far. I miss it, but just hard to get out of apple again, both for ecosystem and how much more effort developers put into making apps for iOS over android. Almost every app looks and works better on iPhone. Also the 16 pro max battery life is unreal. Those are to two main things that’s holding me back from going back to pixel 9.

[@valismind]

Yeah, it’s tough sometimes. There’s def benefits to both. Committing is hard. I do carry two phones, but personal sim in Pixel has been nice.

[@tedtheone1]

One thing that every review seems to not mention is the fact that Android apps are available on multiple stores. This is a huge benefit.

[@SudeSudo]

Almost bought the Pixel because of its look and cool camera capability until I watched reviews. I settled on Oneplus 12 and never regreted it. I hope Pixel can implement fast charging. More than an hour of charging is not fast charging. Pixel needs to change their chipset to a more powerful one. Flagship phones should not be only good in cameras but with performance with games as well. This is just my opinion though.

i have had the google pixel 9 pro for three days coming from a flagship samsung. im still getting used to it and where everything is. i did indeed get the completely wrong phone for my use case however but i wanted to give the pixel 9 pro a shot because i got fed up with samsungs. i dont really use the camera on my phone no matter how good it is. i dont care for AI at all. i dont like gestures. yes completely wrong phone for my use case. the phone is fantastic, its finally nice to have a phone that has a thumbprint scanner that for me is bulletproof and never fails on me, this feature alone is why i love this phone. the phone is smaller than my old flagship samsung and i prefer that, fits in my pockets much better and it isn't a behemoth to hold. the phone is very very much brighter outside which is also a plus. one of my only gripes with it so far is the fact that the back button and clear apps button are completely on the wrong side by default with no option to change that. the back button was always on the right side not the left for most if not all android phones. i like buttons, im simple. ''well just use gestures, the phone is better that way'' not for me, again, wrong phone for my use case but il have to get used to that. my other gripe is the fact that it overheats in games after 10-15 minutes and then im stuck below 10 fps. i turn on the show fps counter to see why and when it drops to that. the chip struggles or i have a lemon. anyway this is quite a ramble but alas i love the phone for the most part so i will stick with it and pray that it only improves with software updates.

[@mohammedsalimahmed5230]

I've been with Android for 13 years. My last 2 phones have been pixel 6 pro and Samsung s23+ My aweful experience with s23 is what pushed me to iphone 16pro. So far..... I miss Android.....BADLY. ESPECIALLY Pixel phones! This has nothing to do with getting used to IOS. IOS is just aweful with a lot of things such as keyboard and the back gesture which is not a universal system unlike Android. These 2 issues alone is driving me insane. My old pixel 6 pro (3 years old) takes FAR superior still photos but the video on the iPhone is unbelievably good, best I ever seen. I got the iPhone for the stability but I can't help slightly disappointed a bit. So far it's more stable than any Android phone I used. No app crashing etc but the UI does stutter here and there and it doesn't feel like 120Hz feels more like 90Hz. Also it doesn't always respond to touch. Considering this is the sole reason I bought the phone for, I can't help feel very disappointed. But I have faith these will be patched up. Phone calls are much clearer on iPhone and MUCH better Network signal. Overall; I got the iPhone for its longevity and that's something I can't test right now. But as things stand right now, I'm not too impressed and sometimes I wish I got the pixel 9pro. If you want to know anything else lemme omow.

In my experience the Pixel 9 Pro is better than the 2 S24 Ultras devices that I tried this year. Both had heat buildup issues so bad I couldn't use them outdoors in direct sunlight for longer than 7 minutes before the screen dimmed to the point I could barely see what was on the screen. I've never had that issue before with any Samsung device. I wonder if the new titanium chassis is as efficient at heat dissipation as the aluminum was. I don't play games on my phone so for what I do the Pixel is an excellent device.

[@WhatsYourDadSnap]

I love my 9 ProXL but I'm really excited for the switch to the new chip manufacturer and that the chip architecture will now be the same used by Apple. Google is really showing they're taking this seriously and its much appreciated.🦈

[@IntrovertedPerson3]

Just to clarify: games like Warzone mobile weren’t really optimised for mobile. Even on iPhone 15 base models, my phone heats up quite a bit and on Roblox, whenever I reach like 31%, the frame are just gets so choppy. It’s not lag but framerate. Games like CODM would probably run very smoothly on the pixel. So I’m planning to switch my iPhone another 3-5 years to a pixel.

[@valismind]

It’s not really that Warzone mobile isn’t optimized, it’s JUST demanding. It’s a game that requires texture streaming and high resolution assets and it’s built on the same engine as the console/ PC version of Call of Duty.

They turn into gray after bringing them down. Native iPhone cam takes dark photos, not always but for most scenarios, with brighter exposure I have it too. Warm roads, white is yellow. Really weird unnatural colors but video is perfect that no one beat it. I move to Pixel because I’m bored and tired or sticking with the brand that doesn’t treat good its workers and also policy where you get 60Hz in 799$ smartphone without Pro Mode while 200$ have it.

Great comparison, again I am more convinced to stay with the Pixels in the near future! Thank you and good luck with building your new studio. 🛠️

[@PicNickPhoto]

Curious what you'd choose if you had to pick between Samsung or Google, what would you daily?🦈

Apple 🐏 fan boys should skip this video

[@nivethofficial]

One thing to notice guys, ROAMING sucks on the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

[@ShayneYestal]

I appreciate the video, looking to upgrade from the iPhone 13 pro max...still undecided

[@crazymid11]

I just upgraded from an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I’m loving it so far

[@godtieranime843]

Same i have the normal iphone 13 but now ios bores me after 2 years using it theres some things i miss from android the customizing and emulators from android

[@cyberliferrr]

Enable wifi calling bro..

[@valismind]

Not everyone has wifi, bro! The studio isn’t finished and I don’t have an internet connection there.

[@RamblingPodcastTalks]

Bro is always switching. iPhone 17 will change everything again. There , I said it.

[@OBrandt-i5c]

Apple has been sitting on its laurels for too long.....and it is showing. I am certainly considering the 16 Pro Max or the 16 Pro, as a replacement for my 12 Pro Max, but lately, I am seriously looking at the Pixel Pro 9 XL. I am fully into the Apple ecosystem (iPAD pro, MacBook Pro, Airpods, iPhone etc) but probably time to rethink things, because Apple has been extra lazy the past few years.

Anyone facing the battery draining issue?

[@theonly8525]

Can you share ur wallpaper

[@aless505]

Now try a battery test on 5g

[@ioanliviu22]

It seems like you’ve been wrong a lot. Why am I even watching your videos?

[@levil4012]

Have the base pixel 9 256GB and it's a great phone... Ordered the 45mm pixel watch 3, glad that they made a bigger version

[@lukeburchill5143]

Should have 50k already, this guy is so good

[@valismind]

Ahh too kind man thank you haha

[@MasterCamus]

The widgets suck in comparison with ios. Also I don’t think google summarises notifications

[@HiTechBoy96]

Surprisingly my s23 ultra never shuts down when it gets overheated unlike my 12 mini and xr

[@valismind]

Could just be getting hot and not overheating

[@AR9ify]

When you say: "I'm not gonna lie.." it implies you normally do. Thanks for the transparency 🤦‍♂️

[@valismind]

It’s just a figure of speech it really isn’t that deep man
