Pixel 9 Pro XL 2 Months Later - A Pleasure! In this video I give you my 2 month updated review on the Google Pixel 9 Pro and why I believe it has a been a pleasure of a phone to use! Share your thoughts, questions, comments, and enjoy the episode! 🎥🔥
Been an android fanboy and a Samsung knight in the Note 2. Owned an iPhone 15 pro max and Note 24 ultra but tried the Pixel 9 Pro XL for two weeks… Man I miss that phone! Likely sticking with pixel when the 10 Pro comes out!
It is a top level phone; 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 The current bench makrs are outdated and never really made much sense because most phone buyers/ users do not care about the sound loudness quality of the external speakers nor heavy duty gaming.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!
Android 15 has been great. Battery life is out of this world better than my S24 Plus Thanks for the video homie. Keep up the good work. I've had my pixel 9 Pro XL (porcelain) since it dropped. Just something about this phone that I wasn't ready for and I don't think anyone thought it would be this good I upgrade and passed on my pixel 8 Pro to the wifey.It's the first phone I pick up every morning and I have quite a few phones in my arsenal to choose from from flagships to mid rangers and budgets phones. The price and the starting 128 gb of storage is the only negative. Ond 4.1 UFS would've been nice.
Spectrum Mobile is running a sale right now. This phone is $599, plus another $100 bonus added to any trade. I had a spare iphone 7Plus lying around , so I brought that with me and will end up paying $499 for this. Excellent deal.
@raviteja_nalluri I'm not entirely sure. But I believe you have to use their service for 60 days before they will unlock. However, they're running a special right now for a free line of unlimited service for a year if you have Internet through them. So my phone service is free, I took in an iPhone 7 plus I had lying around and they gave me $105 for it ...brought the phone cost down to under $500 for me. Their service is fine in my area. So I'm taking advantage of the free line for a year to save $$.
@@MsT1013 Hi sister, could u please elaborate more , where did u buy the phone and what is the service that you talked abt? And how does the trading goes ?
Traded my s24 ultra for a pixel 9 pro xl, and zero regrets, nothing wrong with the ultra, in fact, it is definitely the better hardware, but the pixel just feels like an iPhone with android and I love that feeling, for once, I'm ok with not having the superior hardware.
i like this guys videos. he shows us the interface of the device he told about us. unlike other chanels he doesnt just speaking and shows himself and some shots the device. i like the see inside of the device i watching videos about it and this guy is good ar that
Google raising their price I thought would hurt the Pixel sales but apparently the opposite happened, further proving we’re living in the upside down era. 😂. Pixel market share has somehow tripled.
Hi nick! I own a pixel 8 pro and im thinking about going for the 9 pro xl during the black Friday, do u think it worth the upgrade or should i wait for the pixel 10? Thanks!
I am late to the party and just bought Pixel 9 pro xl 512GB for £849 on eBay ..decent price ..Fingers crossed I like it got bored of my Samsung S24 ultra... Congratulations on your birth of your beautiful son 💙💙🙏🙏
Congratulations on becoming a daddy... Have the same phone, porcelain pixel 9 pro xl... Love this one.. Finally they have sorted the modem issue, only reason I had to sell my previous pixels... Its perfect this time round...
Always download the updates on a Pixel phone. It will always help your phone. We're not talking about betas. We're talking about official updates directly from Google. Again. Always do the updates. It will only help!
Hey guys. Need your help. I have a pixel 9pro and have a very slow loading of the pictures in the google picture app. I cleaned cache and reinstalled updates of the app, but did not help. I switched from iphone 11pro. Does anyone have a similar experience?
I've got the smaller version of that phone, color wise as well...great phones! Great Vid Nick, and congrats on the little one...NOW you know what true love is...when that little smiles at you for the first time, you'll tear up for sure...again, congrats!
i think phones dont dsreves 1000 dollar and above if they dont have true tone t make white as white not gray .only s24 ultra has trune tone adpative andriod so behind
I still think the s24 FE is the way to go. Yes the pixel 9 pro xl is nice if your comparing it to another pixel but compare it to a midrange Samsung phone that's half the price and youll quickly see what you should should spend your money on.
This is true. But you need to look at as an average user, or at least that's how I have to look at it. I have to look at the most power, biggest screen, and most passable came I can't for X amount of money. And I thank that's what most people are wondering. I could be wrong. Love your videos by the way been watching you for years. @@nickackermanchannel
I've had my pixel 9 Pro XL since it dropped and I haven't had any performance issues. What type of performance issues are you having with your pixel 9 XL? In fact, I have quite a few Phones in my arsenal from flagships to mid rangers to budget phones and this is definitely the best pixel that I've ever owned. I've had the 6,7 and 8 Pro now the 9 Pro XL. I've had nothing but flawless performance with my device and battery life is exceptional, in fact, better than my samsung S24 plus.
The cpu on this phone is the only thing holding it back, when i spend 1000$ i expect the phone to run fast for 5 years, my iPhone 13 pro is lighting fast and going strong 3 years later.
So you are referring to the chip and I get your concern but the truth is the Pixel typically stays fast, however I agree they need a more powerful chip on the next version
@@Kenny.1979well, the phone is relatively new. you can't compare the current performance to the original poster's 3 year usage/ experience. to be fair, i am not saying it won't hold up for years. just that the performance now, cant be used to judge the long term.

I love the xl, but when it gets warm the recycle aluminum on the sides pulls the heat, which causes holding it uncomfortably. Is this normal?
Congratulations on the new bundle of joy!
i cant wait to pick this up in 2-3 weeks! i miss pixel, currently on iPhone 13 pro max

Just got mine 3 days ago. Love it
the software looks f------ GORGEOUS. and I'm not biased because i just bought myself a new iphone. I just admire the Pixel. 🥰
This will be my new phone after using the iPhone for 6 yrs. This would def be a good change for me
Great video, couldnt agree more with the points you make. Congratulations on the birth of your son.
I just got mine and I love it.

Nice review Nick
Congratulations for getting your new baby he's is cute
I am currently using the Pixel 9 Pro non XL and I fully switched to it and I don't regret it

💯 percent

First time switch to pixel after years
No more apple because they are gone too greedy
Will not buy apple ever
Cute baby ❤
Congrats on the baby, bro! And treat video, as usual 👍🏾

Should i buy?

Thank you, and thanks for the congrats!

Nice vid Nick though not sure it will sway me to give another Pixel a shot atter my P7 has been a hot mess for two years.
Nick also you can get 60 and 90 both of fps in Fortnite on phone google pixel 9 pro XL

Pixel doing good this year 👍😊
Congratulations for the new baby boy
Thank you
One of the best pixel yet
I agree 👍
Also the most beautiful pixel ever
@@dynamicedits671i know it is :)
Android 15 is very good system i know old system was android 14 was new android version in the past
Android 15 is running really well on mine! Go for it! They fixed quite a bit of stuff for the Pixel 9 models
Love it when Nick covers less popular phones, but this view count just decimates the likelihood he'll do this frequently if at all
Thanks so much! I have a second channel called More Nick Ackerman where I will cover some less popular phones :)
Got mine 9Pro 256GB for 580€ including trade in costs (J7 for 33€) and taxes. Google just want everyone to get One 😂
Good phone but I'm going back to the 16 pro. Just a little harder to set up if you back up and restore etc
Always download the updates on a Pixel phone. It will always help your phone. We're not talking about betas. We're talking about official updates directly from Google. Again. Always do the updates. It will only help!
Btw Google pixel 10 is leaked it means its coming soon
Looking forward to the 10 and the new chip. Loving my 9 pro fold
But isn't the pixel 9 just got released
How come
Pixel 💙
Congratulations Nick to you and to your Wife! You have a Baby! And to little Nick, Wellcome! Best wishes from Spain. ❤❤❤
Best phone of 2024 hands down!
Nah, that goes to OnePlus 12
Pixel 9 pro the best for dimensions
Finally google made a good looking phone, took them 8 years 💀
pixel 4, 6 and 9 are my favorite looking lol
Pixel 4, 5, 6 looks nice.
I think the Pixel 8 Pro is their best design so far. Pixel 9 Pro is right behind it in 2nd best.
@@_WF23 i have the 4a 5g in white and i dont like the plastic back, ive had it for 4 years
Nope, Always looked better than most out there

Stop sleeping on the pixl 9 xl
Great video. GOOGLE hit a Home Run with Pixel 9 series. Sales are way up makes sense. Congrats to FATHER and MOTHER! 🎉
I've got the smaller version of that phone, color wise as well...great phones! Great Vid Nick, and congrats on the little one...NOW you know what true love is...when that little smiles at you for the first time, you'll tear up for sure...again, congrats!
Thanks so much, I definitely agree with that about the little ones!
In the future google pixel new phones will get very good cpu gpu performance at games
Buying this phone would force me to use launchers, i don't like the icon design and UI
I like everything about this phone except for the horrible speakers
Iphone 16 pro max + pixle 9 pro xl =
vivo x200 pro 💀
The only chips I think about are potato chips 🤤

First off, I like to say congratulations to you and your girl on the new addition to the family baby Joaquin.
Google pixel 10 is leaked btw
i think phones dont dsreves 1000 dollar and above if they dont have true tone t make white as white not gray .only s24 ultra has trune tone adpative andriod so behind
My iPhone sucks ass at taking pictures.
UFS 3.1 and the modem is outdated. For the price 👎
And lpddr5 ram, 8 pro had lpddr5x…
I still think the s24 FE is the way to go. Yes the pixel 9 pro xl is nice if your comparing it to another pixel but compare it to a midrange Samsung phone that's half the price and youll quickly see what you should should spend your money on.
Exactly
I have an old Xiaomi 11T that's more than four years old and it's wayyyyy better than my friend's Pixel 9 XL
...Which is just sad
I appreciate your point but the S24 FE is no Pixel, less software support, not as advanced AI and worse camera, no thanks
This is true. But you need to look at as an average user, or at least that's how I have to look at it. I have to look at the most power, biggest screen, and most passable came I can't for X amount of money. And I thank that's what most people are wondering. I could be wrong.

Nah bro 🤣 those cameras are trash 🗑
Bro please talk about the portrait camera issues and the poor performance of the chip! Google need to fix those issues

to be fair, i am not saying it won't hold up for years. just that the performance now, cant be used to judge the long term.
@@Kenny.1979OnePlus experience is like no other. And I have the P9P and s24+.
