Good to hear! Feel like more adults talk on the phone than text, so trying to cater to that audience. A phone with bad call quality is a dealbreaker for me.
@@DayoAworunseone of the reasons I went back to iPhone from the pixel 7a. The reception just killed the usability for the pixel. I couldn’t rely on the phone to keep signal for phone calls and data connection. Love the software however, like more than iOS.
Thanks for the Video and the real-life comparison. :) I like your phone reviews, you are more calm and down-to-earth than most other channels out there. Just one thing: I don't know if it's because of TH-cam compression or something else, but your mic sometimes crackles. I noticed it in the last two or three videos, plus this one. Greetings from Germany.
This was an amazing video, with a clean presentation, to the point information and testing of the important aspects of both the phone (call quality, as people have mentioned). Keep up the fantastic work and hope to see such amazing videos in the future!
Thanks for youre Video! I got the Pixel 8 for about 6 months and first i think, i make a mistake. But youre Video Shows me, it was the right decision. Greetings from Germany 👍
I like the design of the 8 series way more than the 9 series’s. Its lighter, with better ergonomics due to the rounder edges and shorter, better integrated camera bump and it is unique and not just an iphoned pixel.
I agree that the display on the P9 is _much_ nicer than the P8. I compared my P8 with a P9 demo unit at a local Best Buy -- wow. However, I'm waiting for the P10 w/ its TSMC SOC.
When in always on mode, the Pixel's(8/9) display goes down to 30 Hz. you can check for yourself by turning on the frame rate from the developer settings
So I just upgraded to the pixel 8 from a Motorola razr(had so many issues with this phone especially call quality, and UI issues). And the 8 is pretty good especially because of the 7 years of updates.
Nice one. Any chance you want to make a video comparison of voice typing on Samsung v Google v Apple? It seems that voice typing with Ai could be a ridiculously useful tool, but at the moment the mistakes are ridiculous. And it seems Google is way ahead of the game. I use s23 Ultra and the mistakes it makes are so lame. I tend to voice type and then use the ai built into the keyboard to fix it. but this is not ideal. Who cares about random photo generation...when are they going to focus on useful tools.
I dont understand people. But how the f...is boxier phone better in hand than curved? I really liked iphone 12 mini, but feel in the hand is awfull because of that edges (box shape). Some phones like pixel 5 are great in hand. Not box phones. No way.
@Dayo Aworunse Tl:dr This was a fantastic review. (since you saved our time by giving the conclusion first, I'm doing the same for you) You didn't waste any of your viewer's time with the sponsor (I actually clicked back because I was so shocked at the sponsor joke) and you gave your conclusion immediately so we knew what to expect. I immediately hit the "like" button for that. I hadn't hit the "subscribe" button yet because I wanted to see the rest of the video and I don't usually subscribe so quickly to a brand new channel, but the rest of the review was actually better than most reviews from the "big" tech channels. You had tests that they never tested (like the call test) and showed the results on screen (front camera autofocus) so we could judge for ourselves. And as a Pixel 8 owner, I felt that your take on the device was very fair and well-founded. The production quality was high and there was even some unexpected humor mixed in. I enjoyed the review and learned more much more than I normally do from other tech reviews. 😄
Surprised you say the colors seem too much with adaptive. Coming from the 6 Pro the colors on the 9 Pro appear sort of cool and washed out by comparison.
Big improvement on the call quality. I think your channel is one of the only ones that test call quality.

You're the only one who focuses on basic things which other reviewers omit. Especially call quality. Subscribed
@@alwindenjel2153 idk how call quality isn’t on the for front of a cellphone
I'll probably just get the 8 because it's way cheaper... Obviously. Nice review, great focusing on call quality since it is after all...a phone
thanks for the review ma brotha
love from sri lanka
Wow! That P9 auto focus is awesome.
This is why I like watching your reviews, always direct to the point 👌🏻 see you in your next 🎉

Working on fixing the audio issues!
Now that I watched it to the end: where’s your s24 vs pixel 9 video? Love to see that comparison!
Always love your videos Dayo. One of the best reviewers on TH-cam!
Glad you like them!
Best damm review ive seen on the pixel 9 Thanks bro!!!
No problem

I don't see a big enough difference to get the 9... I will stick with my Pixel 8. I love my Pixel 8 too, easy call for me... thanks for the comparison

Yes, 8 Series not just an iPhoned pixel.

I ordered the pixel 9 for $400 from Mint mobile. I'm upgrading from a samsung s10e, I'm excited to try it out!
You’ll love it

Does the P9 feel chunky in hand when compared to the 8? Or, do they feel about the same? Awesome video, btw. Literally didn't skip a second!
Great video, the auto-focus does exist on the Pixel 8 Pro though.
That it does
Pixel 9 has really good macro photography too
Why is the headphones volume so low on the pro 9 xl?
I enjoy your reviews. But I am hearing some popping in your audio.
Not sure what's going on with my audio lately. Seems like a new issue every video. Just moved so still working out the kinks
@@DayoAworunse Maybe DJI will sponsor you! (Kidding!) Where did you move? I grew up in the Metro area.

I can't tell any difference between the two displays from P8 to P9. To me, they're both equally good.
Hi, which would you advise?
Google pixel 7 pro or pixel 8a
@@OhisManuel 7 Pro
Thanks @@DayoAworunse
Currently Mint mobile has the pixel 9 for only $399. Plus 12mo. of service for only $15/mo.

same same...but different
Pixel 9 is not for me as they outright stole that side design from the iphone. Plus its boxy which i hated on 6 and 7.
Just one problem over priced.. Just waiting Pixel 9 price drop..
Im not a bot either, 2nd real comment!!!

I recommend not getting a pixel 😂
Why?
@impersonator4439 there are better and cheaper options.
For example One Plus 12 🎉🔥
@Kradam nah oneplus 12 is trash.
@TH-camdeletedmycomment so you can afford education. I said cheaper better.
