as an electronic technician... I am using macro cameras for determining/reading part codes on ic's and chips that are very hard to see rather than turning-on my specialized microscope in my work table. Very convenient and a must camera feature to be with on terms of our jobs as tech service repairs.
I tend to go for the larger pro versions because I use them for work. 8-12 hour shifts, and all of that is on my phone. Having a big battery life and not worrying about it dying is a huge convenience. Also, I have very large hands and when I used the iPhone 6s a few years ago, I kept messing up my typing, so once I got switched to a 14 Pro Max, I felt saved.
I truly believe that new pixel 9 series will get the best design award of smartphone 2024. It has come with almost perfect smartphone factor with smart software features with mind blowing photography capability for the year 2024 . But only long term use can ensure this. I think 3-4 month later it will be deciding choice.
i preordered the pixel 9 pro hazel 512gb in the netherlands it will come to me on september 9-12 (bought on google website) i did this to upgrade from my s21 it was time again and i like small phones i took this over the s24 ultra for its small size and i think there is more in software then hardwere with the s24 ultra you would get it and have it all but with the pixel i hope to see my device grow during my ownership
The Pixel 9 Pro really has my attention, maybe the Pro XL. Ultimately, whichever feels best in the hand, and I don't have to worry about dropping it, even with a screen protector and a case.
How is it on heat? Pixels have always seemed to get hot pretty quickly compared to other phones ive had in the past. On the other hand, Pixels have always been my favorite phones.
@@bobmiah Universal back gesture that you can use with your right hand and takes you out of the app is better than the iPhone. Settings in the app you are in and not having to go dig through your separate settings app is better than the iPhone. Ability to change every single aspect of the phone with launchers or even try a whole new custom OS is better than the iPhone. Call screen is a gamechanger, iPhone has nothing even close 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I loved the visor on pixel 8 series. The pixel 9 looks good but it's kinda sad that what differentiate it from samsung and apple now is only the camera bump.
You haven't heard of embargoes? Early access phones usually come with contractual restrictions, including when a creator can post a review etc. Go too early and you get banned by the manufacturer. Go too late and you miss the peak interest/relevance and get lower priority in the algorithm.
My 9 Pro XL will be here tomorrow. I’m pumped. And I was given $320 back in Google Store credit for purchasing through the Google Store. All my accessories cost me zero extra dollars!
Those “lucky you” stickers were introduced in Apple Stores during Christmas season 2007. If you wanted to gift the iPhone to someone, you got one of those stickers and put em on the phone. A lot of people with no intention to gift the phones got them too.
Love your shit, Lew! Pre-ordered Pixel 9 Pro in Hazel last week and pre-ordered my Latercase immediately after. Not loving the price increase but it's the best thin case on the market 😜👍
Pixel 9 base , has Google put some sort of coating on the back glass , compared to previous and other phones the back glass is a lot less slippy and even compared to the iPhone 15 which had a frosted back it's less slippy
I would like to know how the google pixel 9 works with instagram because the S24 has issues with instagram. One being that you can't trim instagram story videos without needing to use a third party app or trimming the video in the gallery and then going back to instagram
I mean it's pretty obvious the square edges are more visually attractive. And yes, that was inceptioned by Apple so I think you're on the right track with your thought process.
Its weird that people call the pixel 9 luxurious when the only thing changed is the design. If they went from plastic body to metal and glass then yeah, but they used these materials in the previous generations.
Tells you how much bias the "iphoney" design gets. That design gives off a premium, elegant and slick persona, that may or may not reflect the actual quality but that plays on your mind that anything else looks and feels inferior/lacking. It's crazy!
Is there an option to click Portrait photos using the telephoto lens? Please comment. iPhone Pro series has this option for a long time, to shoot Portrait using 3x and 5x Lens. And they look soo good. Having the ability to shoot Portraits using a longer focal length lens provides great portraits with more natural bokeh.
Would've been nice to have been shown more of the camera and features how they compare on the Pixel 9 and not just on the XL version you might as well not had the standard version on there.
Do all of the Pixel 9 Pro XL obsidian color phones have the black color perimeter? By the way I like this new design, I thought the Pixel 8 lineup felt like you were holding plastic in your hands. Just didn’t feel like you were getting your monies worth with the build quality of the phone.
A little off topic. I actually got your latercase for my z flip 6. I just got my pixel 9. Too much empty space for that phone. Ever considered making a “fuller” case for phones in the future?
I messed around with the smaller 9 pro today, and it feels so much bigger than my 8 😭 i cant describe it. Maybe beause it has rounded off edges, on the backside? Im gonna upgrade regardless, but i think the 8 has a nore *gradual* uograde as it got thicker, vs the more immediate *thickness* thats prevalent on the 9pro. Not enough to keep me from upgrading, bc of the better selfie cam, finegrprint reader, and backside cameras from my regular 8. But emough to bother me, and that i wouldnt upgrade to the 10, unless it becomes w decent size smaller/thinner
I think the naming is perfect, a "pro" phone can be just as big as the normal one, it just has more features, and XL is literally what it is, a bigger version. I don't agree on calling the fold neither pro, or a 9, I get why they did it but it being the 9 means you're going to release one every year to next to the regular phone which if they do it it's fine but it forces you to release one every year while I think the folding phone can be released every 2 years to make it actually better instead of a spec bump
I got a Pixel 7 last year in March because my LG G8 stopped charging, and I want to try a foldable in the future but I wonder what brand I should go with?
I woudl def prefer as light as possible. Actually I wont mind if the mobiles had a plastic unibody like the last HTC phones. To me if they went that way and the mobiles became 40% cheaper I would be stoked.
Google Needs to work on a subscription that includes Gemini,Storage,Google Photos perks and TH-cam premium in one subscription.
Welcome $50 Google subscription
@@JoshuaWebbsGemini might be worth the asking price if it did include all that
It's called Google One AI premium, it's interesting, I've been using for a month now
Apart from the youtube perk, the rest already existing under one package
Well the Gemini advanced subscription already comes with all of those except for TH-cam

Macro is great for checking solder points.
@@dr0n3droid yes indeed!
Just moved to the Pixel from a Samsung.. such a cleaner experience. I like the look of the 9 over the 8. Great unboxing!
I was thinking to switch from a old ass Samsung A03s to a Pixel 9 Pro I love the clean Android experience too!
The pink and green colors should be a must in any phone lineup nowadays
This is bizarre, I just got my Pixel 9 Pro XL and am unboxing it with you.
I should get mine Tomorrow!
How is that bizarre, today the review embargo was up because most people started receiving their pre orders. Pretty normal timing.
I get mine tomorrow 👍
Let us know how the battery life is on XL
Get mines in 2 days
It's weird how Anker is sponsoring every google 9 review video!
FR!
I said the same thing!
They're the best honestly
It's because most phones do not come with a plug anymore.... kinda silly when paying so much for top of the line product
"She thinks its cool, so I think its cool." I got 2 daughters and i totally get it.

The pixel 9 pro for sure. Not too big for me and it has everything the 9 pro XL has but without the bigger display and battery
💯
Same here, like the Pro version.
My 9 pro arrived yest, it looks amazing in the flesh, I'm just tryin 2 c what it's capable of, made up with u so far
@@kayned47 I'm still waiting
@@kayned47 so how's your experience with Pixel after a Month?. Any thoughts about it.
After a very long time OG Unbox Therapy is back 👊
Why, where did he go?
I personally prefer the new design of the camera bump over the old.
Same !!! The pixel 7 8 Camera design was awful af very nerdy . Glad we get rid off that

Yeah. It's very good

You know they aren't going to tell you that 😂
The pro versions have a new vapor chamber for cooling.
oh..They have improved the heating system. There should be no problem now.
@@ianwest1624 They did... try watching the features
My Pixel 9 was hot even when performing simple tasks...
ive been using it for 3 months and its freaking amazing
My order for a pixel 9 pro xl will be arriving in the next week. I'm very excited coming from my pixel 6 😂
Me having the pixel 7 and i personally think pixel is better than iPhone

15:00 thank you. It's a personal preference. But I prefer a light "premium, flagship" phone.
I prefer heavier, feels a bit more premium
Great review Google Pixel have made phones fun again
😊
Why’s everybody dropping the same video at the same time 😭
Marketing

Yep, normally they receive the product days, even weeks before launch, but they can not publish anything until the agreed date in their contract.
That’s the curse of embargo.
I also observe this 😂
My 9 Pro XL will be here tomorrow. I’m pumped. And I was given $320 back in Google Store credit for purchasing through the Google Store. All my accessories cost me zero extra dollars!
Google 9
Google 9 XL AND
GOOGLE 9XL PRO LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME 😎😎😎😎👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome video !!! Nice to see your videos waiting for lew later show !!!
Finally.. Team Pixel 💪💪
still rocking the 5. Getting the 9 on black Friday sales
Lets goo!
Dang! The rosequartz color is so beautiful! 😍😍
The new generation is completely outstanding, far better than the old generation
I upgraded from the Pixel 6a to the regular Pixel 9. The design of the Pixel 9 is awesome this year. The size is quite suitable for me.
The new design is dope...
Those “lucky you” stickers were introduced in Apple Stores during Christmas season 2007. If you wanted to gift the iPhone to someone, you got one of those stickers and put em on the phone. A lot of people with no intention to gift the phones got them too.
Obsidian: usually black; sometimes green or brown; rarely yellow, orange, red or blue. Looks like Google missed/skipped some options.
The comparison with the iPhone design at the end hit right of the spot on why I ordered the pro xl.
Great review. If I were to pick a Pixel, I'd go with the 9 Pro. It's size and features is just perfect.
The Pixel has a premium feel, then less than a minute later, the case goes on.
Well, it's his brand of cases, he wants eyes on them obviously
Tmobile running a promotion for adding a new line and preordering the phone. Got the pro XL with upgrade to 512gb for $600 off. Amazing deal!
What did the new line cost you, $600 a year?
Best experience I've ever had with an Android.
I've also dailied an S24 Ultra and this Pixel 9 Pro XL just spoils me, it's literally perfect.
Love your later cases
Boxy design for the win! Simply feels better in hand.🤗
🆒 just got my 9 today! 📱🔥🔥🔥 💯
:D
One of my favourite android phone ever made
I got the Porcelain. I appreciate the phone enough to think the lighter colors will make the phone pop. I will be using a case over the color though.
Love your shit, Lew! Pre-ordered Pixel 9 Pro in Hazel last week and pre-ordered my Latercase immediately after. Not loving the price increase but it's the best thin case on the market 😜👍
I love my pixel 9 pro xl in rose. Its been a couple years since ive used a pixel its good to be back with a whole new cpu I've never used.
Lew really enjoyed.I definitely want to see them in person.Thanks for sharing.💯✌️
Finally from Unbox Therapy
When are you going to do the Fold? I preordered it but I don’t get mine till the 4th
Fold is a good choice!!
Glad to see you choose pink for the XL🎉
Does anyone know the classical music playing at 19:40 ?
Pixel 9 base , has Google put some sort of coating on the back glass , compared to previous and other phones the back glass is a lot less slippy and even compared to the iPhone 15 which had a frosted back it's less slippy

I mean it's pretty obvious the square edges are more visually attractive. And yes, that was inceptioned by Apple so I think you're on the right track with your thought process.
Should I upgrade from my 7 to the 9 since they giving out support updates for a few more years.
I would in a heartbeat. I went to the 8 pro from the 7 pro and it was worth it so yes do it
Just ordered my pro 9 xl
Waiting to upgrade my fold till the holiday specials
big fan!!been watching unbox therapy since half a decade now :))
Remember times when he was making videos at Home on the table
I used to watch this guy 8years ago
Pixel phones are beast mode!!!!!
Have to wait another four weeks for mine to arrive in the UK. Currently using the 7 pro. Cant wait
It’s time to switch to Android now

The form factor itself is what’s going to make me switch. the display is super smooth. 🔥
do the pixel 9 series overheat?
will you be doing a review of the 9 pro fold? I love mine, curious to see what your opinion would be!
Pixel 9 black is the Best because of the edges are mate finished
2 came area enough
Perfect fit for anyone

Anker products are the best
Obsidian on the new pixel seems like the best go to..
Great work
Definitely prefer the pro xl model, its got the vapor chamber to keep the temps down which the standard model does not
No one is recording with the non pro green model, i want to see it in all lights
When is the embargo up for the Pixel Watch 3?
