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.

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]

[@jmtm-d1q]

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN You can say all you want, but at least give it a try one day.

I upgraded recently from the Pixel 7 to the Pixel 9, and it came down to the screen brightness. There were days when I was out in the sun and the 7 just didn't get bright enough for me to see the screen. I never have that problem with the 9. I also find that the 9 handles the thermals better. I've never had a situation with the 9 where it had to throttle down because of heat. Gemini has been something of a mixed bag. I've liked a lot of its responses, but sometimes the accuracy is way off.

I just upgraded from the S23 Ultra to the Pixel 9 Pro XL and I have to say it was a great decision on my part. I never thought I'd switch from Samsung to a Pixel phone but honestly I'm having a lot of fun using the Pixel. I'm not a gamer so not using my phone to play games is not a deal breaker for me. So far it's been great. I just have to get used to a few things on the pixel but I can deal with that.

@StreetzCallin1 well considering I have the Samsung watch 7 and the Samsung Tablet S9+ I was in the Samsung ecosystem. Just something about the Pixel 9 Pro XL that made me want to change. My watch still works fine with my pixel. I guess for me it was just a time for a change and try something new. I guess it all depends on if you want to switch it up or just stay with something you are familiar with.

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.

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.

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

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.

Hi did you turn on VoWifi in your iPhone ? You should not have problem with reception inlets you do not have WiFi signal over there as well.

[@valismind]

I don’t have internet there yet unfortunately

[@jacobkrapohl7174]

technically the A18 Pro should be even more efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as it's manufactured using 3nm lithography, but some users might experience poor battery life due to inaccuracies of the battery management system

Have the Pixel 7 Pro, saw the iPhone 16 and the Pixel 9, looked back at my phone and thought "NA, you are still pretty good"

[@mohan3900]

how to transfer data from iphone to google pixel 9 pro ?

[@wasiahmed1547]

What about call quality issue and wifi issue???

[@kentonhuynh9513]

Wi-Fi issues are all fixed with the 9 and 9 pro

i get to use iphone for a bit since my samsung flip screen just died on me, and forced to use my work phone which is an iphone 14.. feels like the iOS is so impractical in a lot of ways, from typing to copying an image, and it is much slower compared to an android.. would not go back to an iphone definitely

[@_lisan_al_gaib]

i hope google and android can maim one another in the smartphone market and at the same time allow for a bunch of smaller OEMs to make devices comfortably again, tired of the shrinkage of the smartphone market, back when every japanese tv company also had a slew of android phones, and we had htc, lg, etc.

[@mujtabamujeeb786]

The only thing that's super impressive to me about iPhone now is the bigger display and battery.

[@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.

[@HaleyColvis]

Where do I get that controller?

About OS: Yeah, I think Linus from LTT made a video about his iOS and Android experiences and why he prefers Android. I don't know why, but if you look closely, Apple is pretty inconsistent with their OS. Sometimes you can use gestures, sometimes closing apps works differently, and sometimes gestures have a different outcome depending on the app. This are things Android does perfectly. Don't know why Apple is still bad in this.

[@TracyD-i5h]

Very informative as it looks like I'm switching from Samsung brands due to pricing. I feel more confident about the switch even though you were comparing this to an iPhone.

[@AI-xr6yt]

I seen a few tik tok videos of a girl saying she had to return the pro xl because it wasn't connecting to any of her bluetooth devices and her screen would freeze nonetop 😮

[@dk-yt93]

i sawpped to the 9 XL it just suites me, easy to work with. more customisable, the shutter timer is like 5seconds quicker than pixel 8. and they look the same. google ai is a lot better too

[@_oriTech_]

its the same with the 8 pro got mine since release and there are some issues (fingerprint sensor, sometime there are lags while switching between apps and sometimes a yt video stands still but the sound is still running, after reload its fine) whenever ive tried another phone i switched back to the pixel 8 pro. i dont know why. the s24 ultra for example feels a lot more snappier and never had an issue with that stuff ive mentioned but the phone is brick and i dont like the feel of it (yes i dont use a case). i dont what they have done with the pixels but i guess u will love it or hate it. i hope this phone will live on until the next pixel or maybe the next after that that u can feel an improvement. got the 9 pixel pro xl for a week but i dont like it. it has that s24 ultra brick feeling and i dont know what it is, but the punchhole feels much larger than on the pixel 8 pro. jut watining for the pixel 10 or 11 (if they stick to the name)

[@Twitchy_Puppy]

Did the size difference bother you?

[@deepcoolclear]

Thanks this is a very good concise comparative analysis on the core points and helped me to decide whether to keep my iPhone or consider the pixel.

[@Patrikch100]

I switched from iPhone 15 Pro to Pixel 9 Pro and no regrerts.

[@marcosmos7478]

I was at the store today and played with the Google pixel 9 pro xl and iPhone 16 pro max honestly I was more impressed by the pixel 9 pro xl, it seems very premium compared to my pixel 8 pro. But I really like the 16 pro max’s size and it also feels very premium as well, plus the battery is better. I'm torn between which one i wanna get lol, the pixel 9 Pro xl or iPhone 16 pro max or the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. I’m currently using 15 pro max and pixel 8 pro as my daily drivers lol.

[@Okuti8779]

🦈 Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep up the good work. Loving my Pixel 9 pro xl. Upgraded from a Pixel 7.

[@Forbidden_waves]

Definitely you convinced me on it🎉 pixel 9pro xl Good job

[@Godwin-VIDEO_EDITOR]

Please what mic is that?

[@RobWatkins]

Nice video! It was easy to watch, talked about points that are relevant to me & pleasantly prepared.

[@djjf45]

I dont know much about the exynos modem, but the iphone 15 pro had the x70 and 16 pro has the x71. I think iphones antennas are the problem! my samsungs ALWAYS have better signal than my flagship iphone! Please run this basement test side-by-side with the s24 ultra too! (S24u is x75, and s25u the x80 modem). Android has the best antenna/modem pairs i think

I've been using Sony Xperia phones for years but was thinking of changing to pixel 9 pro

[@frenchspice8189]

I went from a pixel 2 to a Samsung (got a good discount) and it makes me sad every time I think about it

[@kashufalam5985]
