@@itsbashir23 the problem, or better said googles problem is that they have only done little changes in their hardware. What have they changed much? The frame and built quality, the only a little bit better processor, the display in terms of brightness and little better speakers. On the other hand the camera is almost the same and if we consider that the camera nowadays is the most appreciated component on a smartphone and that the rest of the changes are only minor things, they had to focus their marketing on the software which is currently dominating the smartphone market. But yeah for their customers it’s like a facelift model of the Pixel 8 Pro. And also doesn’t that mean that the upgrade isn’t worth it… Hardware is only as good as it’s software and the freedom of developing a good software is like infinite
@@itsbashir23 strongly disagree, gemini is up there with openai and anthropic for example. Both charging more monthly than Google. A year free is a huge plus but it definitely should not come with a free lifetime subscription.
Not sure if the macos build has all the same features but on linux there's KDEconnect which provides that same functionality. It's been so useful and I love it
Bro thanks for your hard work. I learned a thing or two about my new phone. I've had Pixels since the Pixel 3a and I can tell ya I for sure never used the 8 Pro to its full capabilities (that was my first Pro) so this new 9 Pro XL I really wanna master it and videos like yours are truly useful.
I also noticed turning ultra HDR off in camera settings helps improve the skin tones in my opinion. Having it turned on shows them to be more reddish then they actually are.
This is a surprisingly useful video. Thankfully not like all the other "15 settings/features you need to change first!" videos, this one actually goes into specific features that can actually help in day to day uses. Glad I clicked on it.
Definitely would love a video on next-level camera technique. Appreciated your pacing and the lack of flowery, unnecessary comments. Great instructional video.
So glad I came across this video! I'd love to see a camera settings video to show me how to leverage this camera/settings best, or for capturing different kinds of photos (e.g., portraits, action, landscapes)!
Pixel comes with Gemini, a built-in AI assistant.32 And with Pixel 9 Pro or Pro Fold, you get Gemini Advanced, plus 2TB of cloud storage, for 12 months on us.▽ I traded in my phone got 300 off the they gave me 200 in store credit I paid 500 for the pixel 9 pro with 256gb....

Thanks a lot for this video - I was won over by the Samsung's one UI having evolved to the smoothness and utility it offers today... But having seen what suite of new tools Pixel has launched off on I have decided to upgrade my s22u to pixel 9 pro XL. It is worthwhile to mention that while it is only one year of subscription to Gemini Advanced that we get to try we are able to access the value, if any, Google has placed behind the paywall. We get to follow how the tools evolve over the span of the year and if moving forward, hardware upgrades start to become more and more inconsequential, the subscription might continue to add the value via enhanced tools feature which in itself is great if you consider the environmental benefits we can derive out of producing less phones. I am excited about the journey we might be starting with this evolution of a more software - centric approach to phones as opposed to the annual hardware upgrades. We have the end of evolution with the hardware, now let's devise the software environment to maximise its utility. I also have an a52s which as it has matured to perfection with software updates will be terminating software support. And I feel sad about not being able to use it in the future...
Hiya. I'd love to see a deeper camera dive. But can you please tell me if taking shots in black & white or sepia is possible on the pixel 9 pro? I can only find filters after the shots been taken. But it'd be good to have the option of taking these types of shot... If I knew how, if there's even an option. Cheers!
Thank you for you videos and your answers please I hope you to tell me which has better sound quality the huawei freebuds 5 or Samsung galaxy buds3 pro thank you

Hi, thanks for the informative video! I have a question about the Gemini AI features on the Pixel 9 Pro. You mentioned that some of these features are free for the first 12 months. Could you clarify which specific Gemini AI features will require payment or a subscription after that period? Are there any core functionalities that will remain free indefinitely? For example, AI features like enhanced photography modes, voice commands, real-time language translation, AI wallpaper etc.
Hey brother!Can you help me with a question since you know far more than me?I prioritize ANC and comfort and I have these options;(edifier WH950NB, sony wh750b, 1more sonoflow, anker soundcore q30 and space one)what option is better?you can sugest else if you know 😊
Number 12 isn't working for me. There's no special pen to open up fun Shakespeare options. 🙁 Any suggestions on how to get Gemini to work in my messages app?
For the life of me, I cannot get video AI extracts function to work. I could have a video front and center on the screen, and when I ask Gemini to analyze the highlights, it comes up with something completely different that I have never even viewed before. With that said, I don't see myself using this feature much anyhow.
@@fpena06 it's the official Google Clock widget, it's called Scallop. Just hold down on an empty on the screen / go to widgets / and you should see it there
At the end when you said to switch video recording to 30 fps to get more of a cinematic View. I just wanted to correct you on that, cinematic video is shot in 24 frames per second not 30.
Cons; had to buy a new adapter plug because apparently it's fast charging, it is not. Also a very short lead, and short battery life. No option to totally switch off 'emergency alert'. No memory card slot or adapter socket for headphones. Already uninstalled Gemini as they are charging people £18.99pm to use it.
@@CliffR You are probably in Europe, Gemini is a complete joke here, only marginally better than the Google Assistent. I'm also really disappointet because the AI features were a huge factor in why I bought this Phone
@@CliffR I feel like that's the case with practically every query to Gemini. The other day I asked if I could change the voice and it verbally told me out loud that it couldn't speak out loud. These consumer facing LLMs have been pretty disappointing to me anyway. I seriously get more accurate informations after asking my old echo Dot which doesn't even get updates I don't think anymore stuff about civics or presidential elections or history. Gemini and co-pilot refused to answer those because I think they're afraid of amplifying misinformation and being made fun of on a viral video or something.
@@Yvess-si3tmI'm in the United States and if it's worse in Europe than here then I can't even imagine how bad it is. Not just Gemini but copilot I find isn't really disappointing. And some quantitative data suggests that it's not just my anecdotal experience but that's so far it's been a pretty inaccurate experience. I would be less frustrated about this if these companies weren't making it their everything, and if Microsoft didn't come out and use AI to justify a 30% increase in their CO2 emissions.
This is even working on free Gemini using the screen context here in Australia on a 2 year old Motorola 30 ultra. They've really be giving some great improvements, compared to the GFS 14 Pro it's next level. Crazy for same vintage phone, the expensive one seemingly will stay dumb too sadly apparently. Weird Apple doesn't want to help it's users in a similar way
