One of the key upgrades to the Tensor G4-powered Pixel 9 series is adoption of Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP) technology which samsung used as part of their latest 4nm chip manufacturing process. This advanced packaging technique allows for faster and more efficient transmission of electrical signals through the chipset, while also improving Heat Management and Power Efficiency. BTW this same Packaging technology is being used by TSMC as well from a long time.
I'm in love with my Pixel 9 Pro XL too! The phone is so beautiful! The camera is amazing! Battery lasts me all day easily, there's finally no heating issues because of the big vapour chamber it FINALLY has! 😩
It's a good thing you gained some experience carrying big phones with the S24 ultra earlier because I feel that the 9 Pro XL would much better handle the 2 main complaints people had with the pixels-heat, and throttling. I know you'd like to check out the smaller Pro later this year, but sticking to the XL would be better, I think. 😀
I have the iphone 15 pro as well... Had the s24u which i sold coz of the size and now got the pixel 9 pro xl... Well this phone is ❤... It just hits home run, its like perfect for my use case... Only 2 things I miss from my galaxy are the sketch to image, I used that a lot to make designs, and the writing tools in WhatsApp that help you frame sentences more professionally... Wish Google brings them in with a feature drop soon... 😌
I bought it and returned it but for the same reason I've returned the past Google phones for, darker pictures when the lights fall. When the lights are not enough, like morning time or sun falls, pictures get darker than other flagship phones
Thanks for review. The pixel design is beautiful, may be the best looking phone. currently I am using iPhone 15 pro max and only complaint is it overheats sometimes. Google has the track record of messing up with software update, I hope they don’t do it with this. But I am very optimistic about next year’s pixel when they move from Samsung to TSMC for tensor chip manufacturing
@@_arorarohit_ thanks man for reply, confused between s23U and Oneplus 12, size isnt a big issue for me but my main preference is battery life and camera. And afaik both are gokd. But s23 uktra is 20K more costly. So its justified to spend that much amout where it will get 3 androdi major and 4 security compared to 4 year android and 5 year security uodates on oneplus 12?
I was in bangalore and the temperature was around 28 degrees. It did get warm when I was using maps but not while clicking pictures. It hasn’t reached to a point that I would call heating.
I am Small Phone enthusiast and i was waiting for the Smaller Pro Version,i have never heard about Pixel 9 Pro is coming on November - Neither in Twitter,nor from Google India's Official Statement or any other reliable tech Leakers....It would be better if you Confirm the same that it's definitely coming in November or mentioned the source of the same news.
Can't comment about other cities in Delhi ncr. There is an actual service centre at MGF mall saket. They fix my phone in an hour. The price was a little bit High. The screen replacement for 6a was 7200 not good not bad. The quality of service is top notch. Can't find out that the screen is replaced happy with the service
Hi Rohit, great review. I had a question regarding the modem. When you said that a few of the calls dropped, were you in a good network connection area? I live in an area where most networks are not very good, so I should still buy it ?
I have absolutely no network issues.. I have the 15 pro as well and the pixel sometimes has even better network.. Only thing I have international version of the pixel.. Don't know if it's the same with Indian version...
For me biggest concern is brightness drop in outdoors if we use our devices in outdoor in max brightness will it drop the brightness like Samsung or apple just after 3min
Is there a noticeable difference in weight and feel between the 6.3-inch Pixel 9 and the Pro XL? I was initially waiting for the 6.3-inch Pixel 9 Pro, but since it’s not coming until November as you said, I’m considering moving forward with the Pro XL now. Could you advise me on this?
there's a solid 15-20k difference. Decide which colour science do you like? do you use photos more or videos? p8 does decent vdos. can you compromise on battery a lil bit for ios? have you used ios? are you more comfortable with Android?? decide on these first. if you compare without the price tag then iphone 15 overall is a better phone. Note: I'm a p6a user
Hi, which brand tempered glass are you using? With my pixel 9 i have to press finger print hard to make it work. In my S23 it was super fast with tempered glass.

Hey, thanks for sharing! I noticed you didn't mention your thoughts on the haptics. You usually give us your first impressions and feedback on that. Can you tell me what you thought of them and how they compare to the S24 Ultra?
Everyone complained about pixel portrait mode, but I am using pixel 6 after the google camera update it is fine , and yes not good as competition.And believe sometimes it beats the iphone easily. And yes for human portrait pixel far behind.
