This is a review of the new Google Pixel 9. In this review, I go over my experience with the Pixel 9 one week later, and talk about whether or not the Pixel 9 is worth it.
Please note that the Pixel 9 being reviewed in this video was purchased at Best Buy at normal retail price. Some footage in the video was taken at the Google Pixel 9 event in which I was invited to by Google.

This phone is excellent. I wanted a smaller phone, so I traded my Pixel 8 Pro and got the 9 for free. I don't game or do anything that needs a vapor chamber. The camera is fantastic. I don't take selfies, so couldn't care less about the better front cam on the pro model. 12GB doesn't matter unless you are doing heavy AI or gaming etc. Screen is beautiful, even if the pro screen is better somehow. This phone has as good of a display as the 8 Pro. I don't use my phone in direct sunlight, so a few nits brighter also doesn't matter to me.
You just described my situation/relationship with smartphones. Word for word 👍👍
I returned the pixel 9 pro xl, because it was the worst flagship phone experience ever. I could not do intensive tasks on the phone. I am a photographer, video editor, and animator. Picture wise, it's okay at best. Video wise, it is absolute garbage, and that is me being nice. Nobody cares about AI, how is being able to make a goofy picture of a cat with sunglasses a selling point? Exporting video on the pixel 9 pro xl? Forget about it. It couldn't even run the mobile version of Filmora without overheating, let alone export a video. I tried exporting a 2-gig video in 1080 and the thing froze. WE as the consumer can't accept these things. I fell for the whole "Benchmarks don't mean anything" narrative that all these youtubers are pushing just to get a free phone from google.
@@Stankpitshentai Wow, thank you for the heads-up. As you, I could care less for AI content as it is presented to us on Google's latest flagship. Cats with sun glasses ... c'mon. If you have a moment, what are your thoughts on Samsung's Galaxy S24+? Take care.
@@MauricioDiCastillo sorry bro, I do not own the S24+, my last Samsung was and is the s23 ultra, that I picked up certified refurbished for $400 dollars US. That phone is nothing short of a great phone for the price, my only real issue is how massive it is. Take care my friend.
Can't wait for pixel 10 minutes later videos five years from now.
Pixel 9 - Smash or Pass??
Id smash 100% (srsly I love this look. Waiting for pixel 10 though)
Smash. It's the most perfect android phone
@@ChikenChomper any specific reason you’re waiting for the 10?
@@davelospinoso9022 it’s quite an improvement from previous pixels, not going to lie!
Smash. Oh shoot you meant the phone, not the reviewer.....
I love mine I sold my iPhone 15 plus. You got to go hold and touch the phone. 💋💋💋💋💋
@Onica7139.. you switched from iphone 15 plus to Pixel 9? big phone to compact phone..! Pls share your experience
Where did you end up selling your iPhone 15 Plus? Just thinking ahead in case I decide to sell mine too. 😊
Hey thanks for the video but I think only the pro models get the vapor chamber for cooling from what I've read and other reviews so the regular pixel 9 does not have the vapor chamber anyway can you comment on this let me know if I've been hearing right or whether you're correct thanks again
@@jejunamja yeah good call I thought the regular did too. It should have it haha
The fact Google is charging premium prices for an inferior chip set compared to other phones is wild. I've tested the phone out and its riddled with intermittent scroll stuttering on various apps and even web surfing.
Nice video but check your audio because your voice is fading lower at the end of every sentence.
Tell me it’s a “#teampixel” promotional video without telling me. Bro its benchmarks are comparable to a 4 year old flagship and he didn’t even mention how the tensor performs other than saying “it can handle day-to-day use”. But hey it can generate oil painting like pictures of a dog wearing sunglasses and a tortoise wearing a hat (which you can anyways do on any other smartphone with DALL.E or Midjourney). Not to mention how ironically their sorftware failed during the actual presentation, and they themselves used an S24 ultra (not a pixel) to showcase their software features 😂
It would be acceptable if the phones were priced right, like straight up 200 USD lesser on each variant.
6-7 years of support, grapheneOS and privacy is all I care about. You can stick all those 4+ year flagship features (that make YOU the product) up the wazoo, for all I care. LOL
I think pixels updated design has gotten a lot of people excited early on , but feel that’s wearing off as they are charging flagship prices and feel they are under delivering in a few areas like the storage, speakers , video quality , tensor chip still a little behind the competition. When they had there 200 dollar gift card are Best Buy I would have purchased the phone but as soon as I was about to drive over that promotion ended and I just couldn’t justify the cost being on a budget. Live there direction though and next discount or price drop I’d love to pick one up
There is a goog chance you can get one for practically free from the Google store I paid 25 dollars for mine. Now I did switch providers but I intended on doing that soon anyways
A lot of people consider the video quality to be the second best, only second to apple so I don't think it's that they're under delivering, I think it's under delivering to you, speakers is fine and, storage? Storage is dependant on what you pick regardless of what a base model hws
Video quality? Video boost on my 8 has yielded the best quality audio and video I've ever seen
Just found a pixel 9pro xl for 750 on marketplace got a steal
I was so much excited and picked it up yesterday. But it didn't take much time to get disappointed. Heavy and cheaper feeling than same priced iphone and galaxy. As you know, processor performance and efficiency is much poorer. Most AI features were experienced from latest galaxy. Let's assume that there was no crazy trade-in and gift card promotion. Worth to buy this with same money of iphone or galaxy? My opinion is absolutely no. Pixel should be much cheaper than iphone or galaxy in many ways.
I have the 9 and the Motorola stylus 2024 and choose the stylus over the 9
Selfie cameras have blur the zoom cameras jitter what did they fix ? Exactly…. Hard pass
I just got a pixel 9 pro XL and this is my first pixel. I have NOTHING but good things to say about this phone. Im upgrading from a S23 ultra & S24+
bad upgrade
@@andivakharismasyah2243 nah it's not. my camera is 50x better, the os is smoother, and I haven't had any overheating issues or anything
please the AI intro was fire why didn't you use it?
the pixel 9 looks fire 🔥 🔥
@@lil_nginya haha sorry it takes so long to edit those and I wanted to get this review out as fast as possible. I’ll try and do one for the one month follow up review!
A week later without showing a single photo of him holding the phone!
Only the Pros have the vapor chamber 🤚

Pixel 9 vs iphone 15 .. which one is better in terms of camera and long term usage 🤔
@@anandraj.p0406 iPhone does better with video, still image photography is a tie, but the selfie camera does better on the pixel. For long term use, the iPhone 15 will not have access to Apple intelligence while the pixel 9 will have access to all of the new AI features. But day to day non AI use, the iPhone will last for years without problems. Haha don’t know if this helps, but hope it does!
@@JSLReview thanks 👍🏻
@@JSLReview I'm still rocking my iPhone 6S Plus, and honestly, iPhones are solid devices-they can last forever! What really bugs me, though, is how Apple deliberately slows down performance on older models with iOS updates. Such a cheap trick! Plus, their customer service can be pretty disappointing, and the company's overall attitude often comes off as arrogant.
better price quality than a 16 and also a 15. wait a little and buy it for blackfriday
To me, the iphone looks like the Pixel 4 xl..lets get that straight.
I have the pixel 8. I've had Samsung and apple flagships, why is it anytime a new flagship comes out the previous one gets glitchy? Even when I don't do the new update
For starters, it’s probably a way to nudge you into upgrading to the latest model. Plus, it might just be that the regression tests weren’t as thorough as they should be.
@@dvdgalutube my money is on nudging you to upgrade, that seems like some shady shit these greedy phone companies would do
If u don't care about AI why would u get this phone? It doesn't seem to do anything else very well. And Google will make u subscribe for Gemini fundtions.
The Pixel 9 has no Vapor Chamber. The Pro Models have!
Too expensive unless you really buy into AI.
At 2:42 - What is that wallpaper? 😍😍😍🤤
If you find that one please share
@sarveshsapkal340 I will. If you find it, please share with me too. 🙏🏾
Nothing ground breaking in any smartphones really
Let me guess…1 week later…best phone of 2024, worth every penny 🤔😂
I know dag
“Non-pro iphone users can’t use the AI features, I think pixel remains the best bang for your buck” ok gotcha, just another “teampixel” promo video 😂
I need to upgrade but I'm not 100% sold on anything. 😕
@@erls5206 with a pixel it’s always a good idea to wait a bit before taking the plunge
Get nothing phone 2 then or wait for 3.
I am experiencing issues with fast charging mode , does anyone else? Even with the official charger and cable dont know.. if anyone got the solution let me know
Isn´t the vapor chamber only on the Pixel Pros?
All people care about is the camera. Not worth the upgrade from pixel 8 as I type from my iPhone 15 🤣
what
128gb is fine for the average consumer just like folks say 60hz is fine for the average consumer on an iPhone 🤷🏾♂️
It's interesting that you all talk about the Pixel 9 phone, but none of you have deigned to show the charger that is not included in the package. But no one says what you will charge this phone with.
No one really includes a brick anymore lol. You don't have any USB c charger around?
@@GrimAbstractonly apple and Samsung do not. Now Pixel. Samsung's boss is furious about the change btw.
@@twistedelegance_ I have only ever had Samsung, and iPhone, maybe that’s why I’m used to it. Yea it sucks, but I bought a 100w charger that can charge 3 devices at the same time, I usually just use that anyways lol
@@GrimAbstract I know there is no charger in the kit, lol, but the company released a charger and no one has it, the kit is homeless.
@@GrimAbstract I have thought about getting one but trying to figure out what works with what only gave me a headache lol
A phone will only be worth if it will last 5+ years like my current s10e
Hard pass. Let me wait for the pixel 10
Modern my A. The 8 was nicer looking. I'm tired of this iPhone looking crap.
I wish everyone would stop talking about cameras on phones. It's one of the least used parts of a phone - important when you need it, but how many hours active phone time vs how many mins taking pictures in a day?
If a phone has a bad camera.....I'm not buying it. Does that help? Great take though.
Just skip those parts then
Bro my wife makes me not want to have a phone because she not only uses her phone to take pictures but mines as well anyone have extra Gigabytes to share???🤦🏾♂️.
Speak for yourself 😂 maybe time spent using the camera is relatively low because all you have to do is click a button but I'd say for the average person it is probably fairly important to have decent to good camera quality to capture moments throughout our lives. Especially those with family/children
I m happy with my nothing phone 2a plus
Better upgrade next year for both ; this year it is a Pass!
90% of the AI effort is on the camera. If you don't care about photos this phone is pointless, IMO.
I wish you guys would get over the "team pixel" thing....nobody cares if you bought it or was given the phone by Google. This country needs to grow thicker skin and quit being so "politically" correct/incorrect....
what do you mean
No. They need to disclose this information it's paramount. If a company offers you a device, you'll be influenced one way or another, whether you want it or not, that's human. If you pay 1k, you'll be more critical
If they dont say it we cant know that they arent unbiased. I get your angle, but THAT is not the problem. The problem is what the companies are doing, not what the youtubers do that literally only protects us lol
@@dougoudvincentActually, spending a lot has shown to make people more biased towards their purchase. Like some sort of justification system, your subconcious convinces you that your purchase was a good decision. This, of course, does not apply to everyone. However it does explain the whole Apple vs Android war, neither part is willing to be critial of their own device/their own purchase decison.
But still, this is far from everyone
Actually it does matter, since “Team Pixel” reviewers aren’t allowed to properly review the device compared to its competition. I don’t trust Team Pixel reviews.
