Hey Chaps! Are you tempted to buy a new Pixel 9?? Correction: Google updated the Pixel 8 series to support displayout with the USB-C port, this came via an update earlier this year
9 Pro Fold for me; love the Pixel Fold I've got currently, but the new 9 Pro Fold looks superb and it'll compliment my S24U very well indeed 👌🏼 My iPhone 15PM and AWU2 have gone; I'm back to full Android all round (Pixel Fold for business, S24U and Galaxy WU for personal)... If only Google would make a bigger Pixel watch (yes, bigger than 45mm... Still to small for my wrists/arm size etc)
Loved this review. I did find it hilarious when you said, "The bigger question is 'why not just save several hundred dollars and just go for a regular Pixel 9?'", then you proceed to list off a whole lot of features people would be missing out on lol
I love my pixel 9 pro xl, in day to day use its fantastic! Very snappy, zero Lag, battery life is solid and YES they did fix the overheating issues. Traded in my pixel 7 pro for this and I don't regret it one bit
I am an iPhone 15pro user, but i have to say that Google has always focused on AI and on their camera. They were never focused on playing ram intensive games or games in general. The phone is optimized for AI that’s what they excel at and do it well! The excess ram is really meant for AI use/tasks. Heck my iPhone 15pro gets pretty warm or hot when on 5g+ and using maps when driving. I think this new design is refreshing and it will finally make you feel as though you are getting your monies worth compared to the build quality of the 8 line up. I suspect it’s going to be a while before you see a new design line up. Stats show that most iPhone users go to the Pixel when leaving Apple because of its closer bare bones UI, and I think it was pretty smart of them to make the phone look very similar to the iPhone. Lastly, I think with RCS coming to the iPhone in September, the blue/ green bubble iMessage hypnotic phenomenon will be coming to a close.
I actually quite like the idea of the screenshot app completely separating screenshots from actual photos/videos. Yeah there’s a screenshot folder in the gallery, but scrolling through the gallery to find the odd screenshot constantly gets annoying so I’m looking forward to that. Excited to get the P9P XL tomorrow! Been wanting to switch to google for ages
@@mikldude9376 as far as I know it does have a specific folder for screenshots but they still get mixed in your overall gallery. Unless I'm completely wrong I'm happy to be corrected

When I switched to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, I started getting so much spam. Who knew the Pixel was taking care of all that for me? Well, now I'm back with Pixel, after purchasing the 9 Pro XL and I'm happy.
Always wanted to get a Pixel for many years, but each year i decided against as it was always falling short and missing things. I finally bit the bullet on the 7 pro. Unfortunately other than the camera it disappointed. The same happened with the Pixel 8 pro. Both times I only had the phones for 6 months because of this. I’m currently rocking the iPhone 15 Pro Max and again thinking of the Pixel 9 Pro. Looking at this review and and many others I think I will leave it until the Pixel 10 Pro and see where that’s at. Great vlog as always Mr Tech Chap.
If u have 15Pro, just wait until Snapdragon Pixel. I still see some issues in Pixel 9. The portraits are still bad. Astro photogprahy needs improvement, No 24MP option like iPhone. No heif support. Average performance... I had 3a many years back and Tensor is a huge downgrade.
I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max right now, but that didn't stop me from buying the Pixel 9 Pro XL. It's working out really well and I think I'll be selling my iPhone instead of switching my SIM back to it. I also have an iPad so I can manage my Apple Card using it.
Thank you for the review. I appreciate the fact that you did a side by side of 8pro vs 9pro. Very helpful! Love the look of the phone and how fast it seems to be. Very excited for mine.
How is the social media camera quality? In an interview Google said that they also worked heavily on improving that. Would love a YT Short showing the difference between the P8P and P9P XL.
@@Jonerssyeah I think they also worked on that too, I've seen a comparison for photos and it did okay for Instagram and Snapchat compared to iphone, but I haven't seen video test
Yeah the tensor G4 is still not anywhere near the rest of the competition. But coming from the pixel 7 pro to the 9 pro xl is significant. My pixel 7 pro got so hot so easily just scrolling on Instagram (on wifi) and the modem was trash. It also struggled just being a phone with dropping cell signal frequently, struggling to send and receive text/mms messages, connecting gps, and knowing what dorection I was facing during navigation. Those little things are much improved between the 7 pro and 9 pro xl. It seems like a lot of the small details are much more thought out to make this phone better to use day to day.
The speaker blocking part is an important point that you mentioned. It is also there in the Samsung Galaxy Ultra lineup. This is annoying. Cause while most of us are right-handed, and also, if you flip the phone, then you are now going to notice the camera grill more due to not being used to it on the right side. Your hand going to have to be used to holding it with the camera bump. The list goes on. Don't know who makes these weird decisions.
Thanks for your excellent review--my partner has a 60th soon--and has endured an iPhone 6 Plus for eons--despite a Pixel camera fixation--so I've just added a 9 Pro XL 0.5TB to my cart for this weekend's big 60th birthday pressie!
I had the 8 Pro and did not buy the 9PXL on launch, but a friend of mine got it and we compared them, it is LAUGHABLE how much better the 9PXL's camera is, it is faster, has more detail and better noise reduction. Then you have the new features and the ridiculous increase in battery life. I bought it not long after with a trade in, have not regretted it even once.
The Pixels a have only been properly available in Norway for 2 years (8 and now 9). Really tempted for the 9 Pro XL, as a replacer for my 14PM. The cameras looks alot better then the 14 (I like more dynamic and punchy photos) and the 30x zoom looks nice. Great to see battery and the fingerprint sensor has improved. If you buy it directly from Google, you get enough store credit for a new set og Buds Pro 2. That is dragging me towards it for sure. 😊
I had some high hopes for the P9 series, with the P9P the one I was eyeing off... however, there's really nothing I find compelling enough for me to upgrade from my Pixel 6, not even with all the gimmicky AI features they're banging on about (couldn't care less TBH)! Oh well, I'll wait for the P10 series and its TSMC Tensor G5 5nm tech... I'd like to think it would be worth upgrading then. Thanks Tech Chap for a great review. 😎
Good video mate. Interesting to look at the photos comparison between the 8 and 9 , quite a few of the 8 pro's I preferred over the 9 , some the 9 were definitely slightly better , however in my eyes , it was more or less a draw . Sometimes newer models don't always mean better in every way . For example having a new model phone with one billion nits of screen brightness sounds good on paper , but if in the real world it becomes quite dim after only 2 minutes , then having one billion nits in the first place was fairly pointless ! The new finger print sensor would be nice , the one on my 8 pro is so bad I have enabled the pin pattern. The FPS on the 8 is very inconsistent, I mentioned that to my younger brother, he said his pixel 7 was the same. I go for a half hour walk nearly every day when I am feeling up to it ( because I'm old) , I have my iPhone 14 pro max with me playing music , displaying my health app , and the screen remains at a brightness that is nicely legible in direct sunlight the whole time, and I'm hanging on to the phone the whole time , occasionally stopping to take some photos of the landscape , nature ( I live near acreage we call the kangaroo paddocks). I wouldn't mind having the 9 pro XL , but for the most part, it seems like a pretty small improvement overall, and I don't game on a phone which neither pixel is really good at anyway , and any modest improvements in the 9 pro chipset just do not look compelling when the 8 pro is still quite fast in day to day use. And the AI stuff , I'm not really all that excited about it , a lot of it looks pretty gimmicky to me.
I just got my 9 pro XXL a clfew days ago and I absolutely love it so far! Moved from a galaxy 22 and I'm happy so far. I need to do more testing, especially with the camera, but it's been great up to this point.
I can't say I've seen the screen dimming issues this severe on any other phone that I've used for photography outdoors (including on 90F days), S22U, S23U, OnePlus 12, Fold 2-5, heck even my Xperia 1 IV (known for horrible heating) stayed brighter outdoors than this. I don't think that's "normal" for a phone and is really concerning for me. I was considering a P9P since my OP12 is full of bugs, but this might be enough to make me not go for it, esp since I push phones pretty hard.
@@davidbrown6137 It's easy to find info about it online, there are several major bugs that had me giving up on mine. When you swap apps with the app switcher certain ones freeze for a full 2-3 seconds, notifications randomly disappear or don't show up on lock screen, etc...
Not for me. I hate this trend of slathering every single feature with unnecessary AI. The entire phone just seems to be full of gimmicky features that you use once and then forget even exists.
I bet you said the same thing when text messaging came out "that's such a gimmick, why wouldn't you just call?", then again said the same thing when the touch screen came out, "I can type faster on real buttons!"
Nah , I think he is right up to a point , a lot of the AI stuff is very much a novelty, people will no doubt play with the toys for a couple of weeks then it will get forgotten, the more useful parts will get used , and that is the way it has always been.@@divertiti
What’s interesting is that google is charging $1000+ for their own custom chip which you’d think be cheaper to mass produce for their phones. I don’t even want to imagine how much google would charge for say a Pixel 10 pro XL with a SD 8 Gen 4
@@artificialstyle998 We have to start somewhere. The Tensor G5 should be a custom TSMC SoC. The first chips will be rough. They're only charging this much because everyone else is, they would know that if they charged $1,500 for a slab phone, it would not sell.
Upgraded to the XL from a Pixel 6 Pro and generally think it was worthwhile. My provider was offering $800USD in discounts so the final price wasn't painful. I have found image quality and camera features, obviously, much improved over my 3+ year-old phone. Google is a software company first and I'm still looking for use cases for some of their niche features. After a couple of weeks I'm happy with the new phone but can see where some users may demand more of a flagship.
All the new features are nice but they still need to improve the G4. Performing worse than the 8 gen 2 from almost 2 years ago while still being priced around other flagshups
8 gen 2? I thought it was around 888 to 8 gen 1 performance. 8 gen 2 is actually better than I expected if true, I have my pro XL coming in later today gonna use as my second phone while the iPhone 15 pro max is my main.
Google has the opportunity but they don't do it, USA has sanctioned Huawei but they're able to get 970k AnTuTu. Google should use snapdragon or dimensity cause tensor is not going well
No really defending it ...but nobody seems to mention p9p can process 45 tokens vs snapdragon 3 15 tokens. As it's now AI that differentiates phones, AI tokens will be an increasingly important metric, and googles ahead. Next year's tmsc port should hopefully improve things alot
I'm keeping my 7 Pro. It was like the 9 now back then, but way cheaper. AI is just starting now and a TMSC Pixel 10 could be... insanly better. Soooo... another year with, in my opinion, still the best Pixel so far. 😀
Well, after a year of using my Google Pixel 8, I just learned from a video that it has a split-screen feature. I’m upgrading to the Google Pixel 9 XL, which I’ll be receiving tomorrow.
I have a new 9 Pro XL. I have owned at 6 and 7. No one is showing the delay when taking photos. When taking photos in regular Photo Mode at 50mp and HDR and More Light off, this new phone has a 1-2 sec delay in full sun days. It is taking a photo as if it is too dark. Is this normal? Was this how the 8 Pro worked? If so I am returning this phone. I need to take many photos fast and the Action pan is only 12.5 mp. The quality sucks. Also, the video mode at 4k was very shaky. Some good things: Working with this phone for over 2 hours I feel the overheating problem is much better. My 7 Pro would overheat doing what I did for 2 hours. The finger sensor works. The old light one never worked for me. AI is faster. Another bad thing: You can not turn off Circle to Search like you could on my 7 maybe they did that on 8 I do not know. The boost video thing is lame and takes forever. Then you have to add it to your backed-up storage and I think that is the idea to sell more storage. Lame. I want this phone to work for me. Please let me know if you know about the delay.
I think the slower shutter is to capture more frames and make the image better. Older pixels shoot slowly and images were better. From tesnor they made it fast and images are bad. I think its better to have it slow
This will be my first time ever trying a pixel phone! Coming from an iphone 13 pro i ordered the 9 pro xl in rose quartz it arrives tomorrow 😊 Thank you for the review i'm excited to try out the phone!
Me too! Im switching my iPhone 12 Pro Max for the pixel 9pro xl in rose quartz too, I’m from Brazil but I’ll move to Germany next month so I bought it there (it has arrived already but I can’t use it cause I’m still in Brazil 😩) I got the one with the watch 3, I’m very curious on how it’s gonna be, have you got yours yet? How was it?
@@youngdani7836 how? Why? The pixel 9 pro xl will be better than a 13 pro with everything including performance, the only exception might be video and I'm pretty sure it'll still be better
You said you upped the resolution. Did you have the better resolution on during the battery test? If so would it have had a better result if it was on standard?
Not bothered by the AI stuff (although that may change once I've used it) but FINALLY having a Pro version in the smaller form factor is what I have been wanting since the Pixel 5 days. I was going to hold on to my 8Pro and skip this generation, but the form factor of the 9Pro (not XL) is enough for me to place an order (combined with trade in, upgraded storage size, and google store credit means I am paying £400 which isn't too shabby).
12:07 I love how Google phones are retaining and capturing true to life photos. The way that the Pixels cameras capture the colors accurately is highly satisfying, especially retaining the accurate color of the human body. And this should be the default setup of the camera capturing capability, whereby true to life image is captured first, then the user or customer can modify the image according to their personal taste or liking.
Currently using 14 Pro Max, before that I was always an android user. Never used pixel before, google pixel 9 XL is so tempting. Maybe next year pixel 10 comes out, I seriously consider move back to android!
My first Google phone was the Pixel 6 Pro. I freaking LOVED that phone. Sadly i smashed the screen on a counter corner and had to buy a basic Pixel 7. Absolutely loathed the "basic"... I just got my 256Gb 9ProXL and i cannot hate on how quick it is, the camera, and i am learning to figure out this Gemini Advanced (1-year) Subscription. I love the phone. Im not a super-nerd, so i cant bitch about the chipset or whatever. I have T-Mobile and will be paying $20/mo for this Pro XL. Thats hard to beat, with unlimited everything. I've had this device for 4 days so far(?). Zero complaints just yet
Yes the chip is still not upto par with its competitors, but I personally look at this phone as a whole. Coming from the pixel 6, I personally would enjoy the brighter faster screen, better cameras, better build and longer battery life.
All of these comparisons to last years model is fine... but many of us are upgrading from older pixels. For me, the heyday of upgrading every year is over as there are fewer "must have" features in the newer models. My Pixel 4a 5G has been rock solid for almost 4 years now and had no reason to upgrade. I'm getting the 9 Pro now and I'm pretty sure I wont be interested upgrading until the 11 at the earliest
It is worth upgrading tho', the $699 trade in for the 8Pro, the $200 google store credit and the $109 credit for google one users, makes it pretty much a steal
About those free 2 years with Gemini... Something that they aren't telling anybody that's kind of in the small print. If you had a Pixel that had the Pixel Pass, and you kept the Pixel Pass program for the cheaper price that it gives you for TH-cam premium, TH-cam, music, etc.- Even though they wussed out on what the program was supposed to be before they had even completed the first two years of the 2-year cycle of the program. You can't have the free 2 years of Gemini upgrade unless you give up your pixel pass.
3:01 Finally, someone talked about speakers Mrwhoosetheboss also talked about speakers and haptics but he said "they are exactly the same as last year Pixel 8 pro" Speakers and haptics are very important factors along with camera for me when it comes to buying phones Good know they are improved on Pixel 9
Fantastic review, that actually conveys details not seen elsewhere, however, in the comparison 9 vs Pro it should be mentioned that there is no UWB in the 9, whereas the 9 Pro is offering it - for the first time in the more compact format.
The battery test results btw the S24 Ultra and P9 Xl are quite negligible They're pretty close and not far behind apple with it's 15 pro max not even using a full 1440p resolution
13:24 - The video is stuttering when panning around. I wish this review pointed this out and done more testing. Most of the shots seem to be filmed in a way to hide this issue.
Google's point and shoot cameras, light exposure (especially direct sun foto), and stock Android and the now playing feature is why i stick with Google Pixel. There are many things to dislike but these features are so well implemented that is hard to go back to another brand
This is the best review I have seen. You always touch on what is important without the gimmicks. I wish the algorithm showed me your videos more often.
Good Review of Pro 9, got a 8 and likely to wait next year to either upgrade in sale to 9 Pro or dig in to get 10 pro; depending upon specs and price (likely another £100 on the bill ticket), there's no rush as 8 pro is good
Its 2024. Smartphones are a beast regarldless of what Brand or OS. Cameras are great, processors are fast, Ram is huge, refresh rates are peak. It doesn't matter what you buy, you will have the best experience as long as its a flagship model ..
I've ordered the 9 pro fold as I love big screens a looks like the best looking foldable phone in my opinion! Can't wait for it to arrive! 🎉 Good review btw!
Based on DXO Mark benchmark the 9Pro has the best camera and the best screen on the market. Add on that the AI features, makes the phone by far the one to get this year.
Good thing I thought of a pixel 9 because I'm trying to end my gaming era on so many devices and the 9 is my dream but great! It's not as good as some other devices at gaming
T mobile here in USA Las Vegas offered me a free Pixel 9 pro xl obsidian 512 gb and all i had to do is pay taxes, open a new line ( I closed my old line ) and because of that i had to change my number. But beside that all I had to pay is 83$ sales tax and get the Pixel 9 pro xl :). I dont have to trade my old device either, which is a ROG Phone 5 and its getting a tad older.
thank you for mentioning pwm,it is very important for some of us actually,had to sell my s23u from the headaches/migraines so ill have to skip the 9pro too it seems 😅
Bought one yesterday for an older female. The vanilla of phones that has all the photo tricks she may hear about from other old ladies and is unlikely to have problems that result in me receiving a call about it.
One thing I hate about all the new phones is the camera. By making it more crisps and higher resolution all the photos come out very HDR and over edited by default. It doesn't look natural. I absolutely hate it. All of the modern phones!!! Nothing beats optical zoom
1:55 It also comes with half the base storage. 3:05 That second slit on the Pixel 8 Pro is actually just a microphone. 9:17 The 9 Pro XL has 37W wired charging. 18:48 That would only give the phone 6 OS updates (20-14=6)
I got the 8a for $400 I would never spend more than $400 on a pixel. We definitely need brighter screens and better battery life. Louder speakers would also be nice just being honest
It’s interesting that no one brings up how lurchy the Pixel 8 Pro’s scrolling was on third-party apps like Twitter or reddit. Yeah, the phone feels smooth when you’re running Google’s apps, but I think this disparity deserves to be mentioned. I hope the P9P is smoother. 🙏
@@samx300 i wonder if its just some updates to the app that need to be done to fix it. Reddit was SUPER stuttery on my Samsung S9 tablet when I first purchased it. But about 6 months after and a few updates later, its as smooth as anything else.
@@edward7792 Yes, absolutely. It's not that a powerful device like the P8 Pro, the 9 Pro XL etc are incapable of running the Reddit app smoothly. It's an app/software issue, not a device wide issue.
I probably would have gone for a non-Pro Pixel 9 if they would offer a 512Gb version of the base phone like Apple does. I don't need the upgrade features, but I've accumulated a large music library during my life that's already digitized in lossless format, and I like to carry it all rather than decide which subset to take this week. Asus did it with the Zenfone 10, but you can no longer find them.
The camera certainly appears to be more true to life and sharper. The design is much more professional looking compared with previous designs, but you are paying near the price of the top competitors so from a value for money perspective it doesn't seem that attractive. Since I've been using a Red Magic phone which is much cheaper, I'm not sure I would ever fork out for one of these more premium phones, you just don't really get much extra for the money. Best review I've seen by the way.
In struggling with the extra weight and thickness. I didn't feel the 8 Pro was uncomfortable. This thing with a case (Google's official) might be too much of a heavy slab for me. I'm coming from a Z Flip 6, which is so much lighter..
What's in th box? The reason I ask is because I got that little adapter in my box with my Google Pixel 8Pro. While you were unboxing your pixel 9 pro, you blocked the box. I wanted to see what was in it.
the fact they spend time on AI instead of fixing the auto dimming when you're outside is dumb, stop the hype chase and properly fix the thing people need
@@fabolousjada5070agree. Let's turn of 5g since it sucks on pixel. Let's turn off auto brightness if it sucks Let's don't use the phone if the battery sucks 😂
nobody asked for AI I guess at this point. It's good to have it, but not necessary like auto dimming, auto brightness and so many other features to improve but left behind
Best review of the new pixel for me, tackled all of the significant pros/cons of the phone, not everyone includes astrophotography and some little details on pixel lineup. Good job tech chap! 👏👏
This is not anything about the Pixel phones but what are your recommendations for laptops at the price range of about 750 euros? The inspiron 16 looked very nice with an amd 7 8840u processor. Do you also think there will be any discounts on maybe the intel chips with lunar lake chips releasing like tomorrow. I just want a laptop for study and maybe some light gaming like minecraft. I would like to keep it for some years and for it to be a bit future proof so maybe the AI of the inspiron 16 would be usefull. I'd like to have your opinion! Great video's! Thank you for them!
Using S23U for 10 months, Pixel 4a had better pictures of my dog or any moving subject. It looks like it's exactly the same this year with S24U, shutter lag that plagues the whole lineup and "we'll fix it with updates" from Samsung (no, they won't). So, if you're into cameras, it's pretty clear choice.
@@Thetechchap OK thanks but since I'm french I haven't succeeded in making myself understand... I've spoken about when we're taking photos to choose full screen sized, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1...

How is the social media camera quality? In an interview Google said that they also worked heavily on improving that. Would love a YT Short showing the difference between the P8P and P9P XL.
I saw two Videos on tiktok and it‘s definitely better but still not on iPhone level. Idk about Instagram and snapchat
@@Jonerssyeah I think they also worked on that too, I've seen a comparison for photos and it did okay for Instagram and Snapchat compared to iphone, but I haven't seen video test
it's much better now
The new refresh design stunning. Overall I think only google doesn't have a boring phone design till now 😅
Inspired by iPhone.
The Chinese phones aren't boring at all
Yea. Better to ugly than boring phone right, pixel
Yeah the tensor G4 is still not anywhere near the rest of the competition. But coming from the pixel 7 pro to the 9 pro xl is significant. My pixel 7 pro got so hot so easily just scrolling on Instagram (on wifi) and the modem was trash. It also struggled just being a phone with dropping cell signal frequently, struggling to send and receive text/mms messages, connecting gps, and knowing what dorection I was facing during navigation. Those little things are much improved between the 7 pro and 9 pro xl. It seems like a lot of the small details are much more thought out to make this phone better to use day to day.
The speaker blocking part is an important point that you mentioned. It is also there in the Samsung Galaxy Ultra lineup. This is annoying. Cause while most of us are right-handed, and also, if you flip the phone, then you are now going to notice the camera grill more due to not being used to it on the right side. Your hand going to have to be used to holding it with the camera bump. The list goes on. Don't know who makes these weird decisions.
Thanks for your excellent review--my partner has a 60th soon--and has endured an iPhone 6 Plus for eons--despite a Pixel camera fixation--so I've just added a 9 Pro XL 0.5TB to my cart for this weekend's big 60th birthday pressie!
p7p user ... still rocking solid, no upgrade needed this year.
I had the 8 Pro and did not buy the 9PXL on launch, but a friend of mine got it and we compared them, it is LAUGHABLE how much better the 9PXL's camera is, it is faster, has more detail and better noise reduction. Then you have the new features and the ridiculous increase in battery life. I bought it not long after with a trade in, have not regretted it even once.
The Pixels a have only been properly available in Norway for 2 years (8 and now 9).
Really tempted for the 9 Pro XL, as a replacer for my 14PM. The cameras looks alot better then the 14 (I like more dynamic and punchy photos) and the 30x zoom looks nice.
Great to see battery and the fingerprint sensor has improved.
If you buy it directly from Google, you get enough store credit for a new set og Buds Pro 2. That is dragging me towards it for sure. 😊
I had some high hopes for the P9 series, with the P9P the one I was eyeing off... however, there's really nothing I find compelling enough for me to upgrade from my Pixel 6, not even with all the gimmicky AI features they're banging on about (couldn't care less TBH)! Oh well, I'll wait for the P10 series and its TSMC Tensor G5 5nm tech... I'd like to think it would be worth upgrading then. Thanks Tech Chap for a great review. 😎
Last gen exynos vs first gen tsmc. Which will launch with more bugs?
Good video mate.
Interesting to look at the photos comparison between the 8 and 9 , quite a few of the 8 pro's I preferred over the 9 , some the 9 were definitely slightly better , however in my eyes , it was more or less a draw .
Sometimes newer models don't always mean better in every way .
For example having a new model phone with one billion nits of screen brightness sounds good on paper , but if in the real world it becomes quite dim after only 2 minutes , then having one billion nits in the first place was fairly pointless !
The new finger print sensor would be nice , the one on my 8 pro is so bad I have enabled the pin pattern. The FPS on the 8 is very inconsistent, I mentioned that to my younger brother, he said his pixel 7 was the same.
I go for a half hour walk nearly every day when I am feeling up to it ( because I'm old) , I have my iPhone 14 pro max with me playing music , displaying my health app , and the screen remains at a brightness that is nicely legible in direct sunlight the whole time, and I'm hanging on to the phone the whole time , occasionally stopping to take some photos of the landscape , nature ( I live near acreage we call the kangaroo paddocks).
I wouldn't mind having the 9 pro XL , but for the most part, it seems like a pretty small improvement overall, and I don't game on a phone which neither pixel is really good at anyway , and any modest improvements in the 9 pro chipset just do not look compelling when the 8 pro is still quite fast in day to day use.
And the AI stuff , I'm not really all that excited about it , a lot of it looks pretty gimmicky to me.
i feel like the editing on this video is just next level
I just got my 9 pro XXL a clfew days ago and I absolutely love it so far! Moved from a galaxy 22 and I'm happy so far. I need to do more testing, especially with the camera, but it's been great up to this point.
I can't say I've seen the screen dimming issues this severe on any other phone that I've used for photography outdoors (including on 90F days), S22U, S23U, OnePlus 12, Fold 2-5, heck even my Xperia 1 IV (known for horrible heating) stayed brighter outdoors than this. I don't think that's "normal" for a phone and is really concerning for me. I was considering a P9P since my OP12 is full of bugs, but this might be enough to make me not go for it, esp since I push phones pretty hard.
Not heard of bugs on the OP12....
Bugs on OP12?
@@davidbrown6137 It's easy to find info about it online, there are several major bugs that had me giving up on mine. When you swap apps with the app switcher certain ones freeze for a full 2-3 seconds, notifications randomly disappear or don't show up on lock screen, etc...
@@EthanWord Wow, that's a shame. Sorry to hear.
@@davidbrown6137 yeah for sure. It's disappointing since it's been out so long and they haven't fixed the issues yet.
Not for me. I hate this trend of slathering every single feature with unnecessary AI. The entire phone just seems to be full of gimmicky features that you use once and then forget even exists.
That's most AI on phones these days! To be fair, you don't have to use it. The improved battery life is the best part really.
I bet you said the same thing when text messaging came out "that's such a gimmick, why wouldn't you just call?", then again said the same thing when the touch screen came out, "I can type faster on real buttons!"
It's just a gimmick and marketing term, in couple of years these same TH-camrs will say the same thing
@@Thetechchapso just that, improve battery life?? Performance still behind snapdragon and mediatek top chipset. What a joke 😂.
Nah , I think he is right up to a point , a lot of the AI stuff is very much a novelty, people will no doubt play with the toys for a couple of weeks then it will get forgotten, the more useful parts will get used , and that is the way it has always been.@@divertiti
That chips set is Google's Downfall. Why can't they just stick with Qualcomm untill they actually have something that can rival and beat Qualcomm.
What’s interesting is that google is charging $1000+ for their own custom chip which you’d think be cheaper to mass produce for their phones. I don’t even want to imagine how much google would charge for say a Pixel 10 pro XL with a SD 8 Gen 4
Because then the price would be absurd.
yeah knowing its weaker they shouldnt be pricing pixels on the level of s24u and ip15max. the pro xl with512gb should 1,200 from the start not 1500usd
@@artificialstyle998 We have to start somewhere. The Tensor G5 should be a custom TSMC SoC. The first chips will be rough. They're only charging this much because everyone else is, they would know that if they charged $1,500 for a slab phone, it would not sell.
I believe it's because of their TPU?
Upgraded to the XL from a Pixel 6 Pro and generally think it was worthwhile. My provider was offering $800USD in discounts so the final price wasn't painful. I have found image quality and camera features, obviously, much improved over my 3+ year-old phone. Google is a software company first and I'm still looking for use cases for some of their niche features. After a couple of weeks I'm happy with the new phone but can see where some users may demand more of a flagship.
All the new features are nice but they still need to improve the G4. Performing worse than the 8 gen 2 from almost 2 years ago while still being priced around other flagshups
yeahhhh - agreed.
8 gen 2? I thought it was around 888 to 8 gen 1 performance. 8 gen 2 is actually better than I expected if true, I have my pro XL coming in later today gonna use as my second phone while the iPhone 15 pro max is my main.
Google has the opportunity but they don't do it, USA has sanctioned Huawei but they're able to get 970k AnTuTu. Google should use snapdragon or dimensity cause tensor is not going well
@@green_106why would Google care when tons of pixel fanboy gladly defending and paying similar price for the outdated spec tensor
No really defending it ...but nobody seems to mention p9p can process 45 tokens vs snapdragon 3 15 tokens. As it's now AI that differentiates phones, AI tokens will be an increasingly important metric, and googles ahead. Next year's tmsc port should hopefully improve things alot
I'm keeping my 7 Pro. It was like the 9 now back then, but way cheaper. AI is just starting now and a TMSC Pixel 10 could be... insanly better. Soooo... another year with, in my opinion, still the best Pixel so far. 😀
Well, after a year of using my Google Pixel 8, I just learned from a video that it has a split-screen feature. I’m upgrading to the Google Pixel 9 XL, which I’ll be receiving tomorrow.
I have a new 9 Pro XL. I have owned at 6 and 7. No one is showing the delay when taking photos. When taking photos in regular Photo Mode at 50mp and HDR and More Light off, this new phone has a 1-2 sec delay in full sun days. It is taking a photo as if it is too dark. Is this normal? Was this how the 8 Pro worked? If so I am returning this phone. I need to take many photos fast and the Action pan is only 12.5 mp. The quality sucks. Also, the video mode at 4k was very shaky.
Some good things: Working with this phone for over 2 hours I feel the overheating problem is much better. My 7 Pro would overheat doing what I did for 2 hours. The finger sensor works. The old light one never worked for me. AI is faster.
Another bad thing: You can not turn off Circle to Search like you could on my 7 maybe they did that on 8 I do not know. The boost video thing is lame and takes forever. Then you have to add it to your backed-up storage and I think that is the idea to sell more storage. Lame.
I want this phone to work for me. Please let me know if you know about the delay.
Thank you for sharing this information.
I think the slower shutter is to capture more frames and make the image better. Older pixels shoot slowly and images were better. From tesnor they made it fast and images are bad. I think its better to have it slow
This will be my first time ever trying a pixel phone! Coming from an iphone 13 pro i ordered the 9 pro xl in rose quartz it arrives tomorrow 😊 Thank you for the review i'm excited to try out the phone!
How is it ? I may get the pixel 9 pro 😅
Me too! Im switching my iPhone 12 Pro Max for the pixel 9pro xl in rose quartz too, I’m from Brazil but I’ll move to Germany next month so I bought it there (it has arrived already but I can’t use it cause I’m still in Brazil 😩) I got the one with the watch 3, I’m very curious on how it’s gonna be, have you got yours yet? How was it?
@@silvaamanda4738why can't you use it in Brazil? 🤔
Worst decision you ever made
@@youngdani7836 how? Why? The pixel 9 pro xl will be better than a 13 pro with everything including performance, the only exception might be video and I'm pretty sure it'll still be better
You said you upped the resolution. Did you have the better resolution on during the battery test? If so would it have had a better result if it was on standard?
The pixel design and software simplicity is winning me over........might have to snag one when the 10 comes out on the renewed market
How are the connections? Bluetooth, GPS, G4/5 modem etc?
Been good for me so far!
I think it’s not so good. In the video you always saw LTE
Not bothered by the AI stuff (although that may change once I've used it) but FINALLY having a Pro version in the smaller form factor is what I have been wanting since the Pixel 5 days. I was going to hold on to my 8Pro and skip this generation, but the form factor of the 9Pro (not XL) is enough for me to place an order (combined with trade in, upgraded storage size, and google store credit means I am paying £400 which isn't too shabby).
12:07 I love how Google phones are retaining and capturing true to life photos. The way that the Pixels cameras capture the colors accurately is highly satisfying, especially retaining the accurate color of the human body. And this should be the default setup of the camera capturing capability, whereby true to life image is captured first, then the user or customer can modify the image according to their personal taste or liking.
Currently using 14 Pro Max, before that I was always an android user. Never used pixel before, google pixel 9 XL is so tempting. Maybe next year pixel 10 comes out, I seriously consider move back to android!
My first Google phone was the Pixel 6 Pro. I freaking LOVED that phone. Sadly i smashed the screen on a counter corner and had to buy a basic Pixel 7. Absolutely loathed the "basic"... I just got my 256Gb 9ProXL and i cannot hate on how quick it is, the camera, and i am learning to figure out this Gemini Advanced (1-year) Subscription. I love the phone. Im not a super-nerd, so i cant bitch about the chipset or whatever. I have T-Mobile and will be paying $20/mo for this Pro XL. Thats hard to beat, with unlimited everything. I've had this device for 4 days so far(?).
Zero complaints just yet
Yes the chip is still not upto par with its competitors, but I personally look at this phone as a whole. Coming from the pixel 6, I personally would enjoy the brighter faster screen, better cameras, better build and longer battery life.
All of these comparisons to last years model is fine... but many of us are upgrading from older pixels. For me, the heyday of upgrading every year is over as there are fewer "must have" features in the newer models. My Pixel 4a 5G has been rock solid for almost 4 years now and had no reason to upgrade. I'm getting the 9 Pro now and I'm pretty sure I wont be interested upgrading until the 11 at the earliest
It is worth upgrading tho', the $699 trade in for the 8Pro, the $200 google store credit and the $109 credit for google one users, makes it pretty much a steal
The S22 Ultra already had "zoom enhance", you take a zoom shot, go to the galery and after a second or two the image suddenly gets clearer :)
Thank you so so so so much for mentioning pwm i was about to buy it but thank god i didn’t. It is the pity for companies to be that ignorant
"Do you want a 6.3 or 6.8 inch ...... phone?" 😉
I laughed a little bit too much when I got it 2 seconds later😂😅
That's What She Said !
About those free 2 years with Gemini... Something that they aren't telling anybody that's kind of in the small print. If you had a Pixel that had the Pixel Pass, and you kept the Pixel Pass program for the cheaper price that it gives you for TH-cam premium, TH-cam, music, etc.- Even though they wussed out on what the program was supposed to be before they had even completed the first two years of the 2-year cycle of the program. You can't have the free 2 years of Gemini upgrade unless you give up your pixel pass.
3:01 Finally, someone talked about speakers
Mrwhoosetheboss also talked about speakers and haptics but he said "they are exactly the same as last year Pixel 8 pro"
Speakers and haptics are very important factors along with camera for me when it comes to buying phones
Good know they are improved on Pixel 9
Fantastic review, that actually conveys details not seen elsewhere, however, in the comparison 9 vs Pro it should be mentioned that there is no UWB in the 9, whereas the 9 Pro is offering it - for the first time in the more compact format.
The battery test results btw the S24 Ultra and P9 Xl are quite negligible They're pretty close and not far behind apple with it's 15 pro max not even using a full 1440p resolution
i believe in him not in any tech company behind, his review is pure subjectif
Quick question right at the beginning...why the heck did you faked the iPhone image at the beginning? the rounded corners are completely off...
there's nothing fake about it. I even turn the screens on? I'm very confused why you'd think that
13:24 - The video is stuttering when panning around. I wish this review pointed this out and done more testing. Most of the shots seem to be filmed in a way to hide this issue.
Adding the red phone booth via magic editor gave some really convincing and impressive results!!
5:20 could you please test more phones outdoor in sun? ONLY phone so far not dimming is Oneplus 12, do you know anyone else?
Google's point and shoot cameras, light exposure (especially direct sun foto), and stock Android and the now playing feature is why i stick with Google Pixel. There are many things to dislike but these features are so well implemented that is hard to go back to another brand
Hey Tom great video as always. I have that same mug@12:03 lol .
Good choice!
This is the best review I have seen. You always touch on what is important without the gimmicks. I wish the algorithm showed me your videos more often.
i appreciate that, thank you! :)
Good Review of Pro 9, got a 8 and likely to wait next year to either upgrade in sale to 9 Pro or dig in to get 10 pro; depending upon specs and price (likely another £100 on the bill ticket), there's no rush as 8 pro is good
How was audio recording quality when taking a video at the concert? Compared to the other phones?
Its 2024. Smartphones are a beast regarldless of what Brand or OS. Cameras are great, processors are fast, Ram is huge, refresh rates are peak. It doesn't matter what you buy, you will have the best experience as long as its a flagship model ..
I've ordered the 9 pro fold as I love big screens a looks like the best looking foldable phone in my opinion! Can't wait for it to arrive! 🎉 Good review btw!
Thanks for this, I ordered it today
The battery life went from a 6.5/10 to a solid 10/10 now! It just never dies!
The only time i charge it is overnight,
Just ordered mine. Going from s24 ultra to this as i got £28 a month cheaper deal. I tjink for the price range its superior
Based on DXO Mark benchmark the 9Pro has the best camera and the best screen on the market. Add on that the AI features, makes the phone by far the one to get this year.
I think that you're the only tech reviewer who spoke about PWN dimming. Now I realise why I felt so fatigued when looking at the Pixel 9's screen.
The chip is maybe now powerfull enough to be completly futureproof .. for that Performance they should charge way less money .. 899 at most..
Loved the review! Where can we get that castle wallpaper??
Good thing I thought of a pixel 9 because I'm trying to end my gaming era on so many devices and the 9 is my dream but great! It's not as good as some other devices at gaming
Had mine 2 days and so smooth and flawless coming from s23 ultra
T mobile here in USA Las Vegas offered me a free Pixel 9 pro xl obsidian 512 gb and all i had to do is pay taxes, open a new line ( I closed my old line ) and because of that i had to change my number. But beside that all I had to pay is 83$ sales tax and get the Pixel 9 pro xl :). I dont have to trade my old device either, which is a ROG Phone 5 and its getting a tad older.
thank you for mentioning pwm,it is very important for some of us actually,had to sell my s23u from the headaches/migraines so ill have to skip the 9pro too it seems 😅
Excellent well detailed review. Can't wait to see the comparison videos.
Thanks! 👍
Bought one yesterday for an older female. The vanilla of phones that has all the photo tricks she may hear about from other old ladies and is unlikely to have problems that result in me receiving a call about it.
glad you compared to the P8pro on this one, thanks!
The antenna at the top of the Pixel 9 Pro XL, was a HUGE giveaway for me!!
Excellent review 🎉..First guy to give complete review about pixel 9 Pro XL
One thing I hate about all the new phones is the camera. By making it more crisps and higher resolution all the photos come out very HDR and over edited by default. It doesn't look natural. I absolutely hate it. All of the modern phones!!! Nothing beats optical zoom
Correction. the smaller Pixel 9 does share the exact camera (wide & ultr-wide) sans the telephoto.
13:28 Why didn't you show Video Boost Super Res Zoom Video with 4K 60 fps ?
Has Pixel 9 a desktop mode? Something like Samsung dex or Motorola's Ready for?
1:55 It also comes with half the base storage.
3:05 That second slit on the Pixel 8 Pro is actually just a microphone.
9:17 The 9 Pro XL has 37W wired charging.
18:48 That would only give the phone 6 OS updates (20-14=6)
Good feedback!
I got the 8a for $400 I would never spend more than $400 on a pixel. We definitely need brighter screens and better battery life. Louder speakers would also be nice just being honest
It’s interesting that no one brings up how lurchy the Pixel 8 Pro’s scrolling was on third-party apps like Twitter or reddit. Yeah, the phone feels smooth when you’re running Google’s apps, but I think this disparity deserves to be mentioned.
I hope the P9P is smoother. 🙏
Reddit is still glitchy - rest is smooth AF - I received my 9 Pro XL today.
@@samx300 i wonder if its just some updates to the app that need to be done to fix it. Reddit was SUPER stuttery on my Samsung S9 tablet when I first purchased it. But about 6 months after and a few updates later, its as smooth as anything else.
@@edward7792 Yes, absolutely. It's not that a powerful device like the P8 Pro, the 9 Pro XL etc are incapable of running the Reddit app smoothly. It's an app/software issue, not a device wide issue.
I probably would have gone for a non-Pro Pixel 9 if they would offer a 512Gb version of the base phone like Apple does. I don't need the upgrade features, but I've accumulated a large music library during my life that's already digitized in lossless format, and I like to carry it all rather than decide which subset to take this week. Asus did it with the Zenfone 10, but you can no longer find them.
The camera certainly appears to be more true to life and sharper. The design is much more professional looking compared with previous designs, but you are paying near the price of the top competitors so from a value for money perspective it doesn't seem that attractive. Since I've been using a Red Magic phone which is much cheaper, I'm not sure I would ever fork out for one of these more premium phones, you just don't really get much extra for the money. Best review I've seen by the way.
In struggling with the extra weight and thickness. I didn't feel the 8 Pro was uncomfortable. This thing with a case (Google's official) might be too much of a heavy slab for me. I'm coming from a Z Flip 6, which is so much lighter..
U shifted the beer glass, thats why it got "chopped off".
Good review still. May consider getting P9Pro.
What's in th box? The reason I ask is because I got that little adapter in my box with my Google Pixel 8Pro. While you were unboxing your pixel 9 pro, you blocked the box. I wanted to see what was in it.
Just a USB-C to C cable, and a sim ejector
Sorry I know I'm late, but flexing the Eras tour in this vid is crazy lol
the fact they spend time on AI instead of fixing the auto dimming when you're outside is dumb, stop the hype chase and properly fix the thing people need
Bro go to settings and turn it off 😂
@@fabolousjada5070agree. Let's turn of 5g since it sucks on pixel.
Let's turn off auto brightness if it sucks
Let's don't use the phone if the battery sucks 😂
nobody asked for AI I guess at this point. It's good to have it, but not necessary like auto dimming, auto brightness and so many other features to improve but left behind
Best review of the new pixel for me, tackled all of the significant pros/cons of the phone, not everyone includes astrophotography and some little details on pixel lineup. Good job tech chap! 👏👏
Tensor G5 (pixel 10 chip) will be the first chip not produced by Samsung and not a copy of Exynos.
Nice video as always. I got intrested in what camera/phone you did your video with during the city walk.
Great review. Thank you for detailed comparison!
You’re very welcome 😊
Love Google Pixel 9
Do you have you Taylor videos posted anywhere?
I shared more clips on my instagram @thetechchap
Awesome video !!
Like the styling but as I have an 8 pro I will wait for the 10. Great video tho.
This is not anything about the Pixel phones but what are your recommendations for laptops at the price range of about 750 euros? The inspiron 16 looked very nice with an amd 7 8840u processor. Do you also think there will be any discounts on maybe the intel chips with lunar lake chips releasing like tomorrow. I just want a laptop for study and maybe some light gaming like minecraft. I would like to keep it for some years and for it to be a bit future proof so maybe the AI of the inspiron 16 would be usefull. I'd like to have your opinion! Great video's! Thank you for them!
Using S23U for 10 months, Pixel 4a had better pictures of my dog or any moving subject. It looks like it's exactly the same this year with S24U, shutter lag that plagues the whole lineup and "we'll fix it with updates" from Samsung (no, they won't). So, if you're into cameras, it's pretty clear choice.
Is there any full mode sized photo when shooting ? Like Xiaomi Samsung and Oppo smartphones ?
You can shoot full 50MP photo, and 21:9 video
