I don’t understand how a 6.3” phone is too small for most people. I’m 6’4 and a 6.3” phone is the perfect size. I’ve been using the pixel 7 the past 2 years for that reason. The pixel 9 pro is the first pro phone I’ve purchased since the 6 pro, which was too big. Every issue I’ve had with previous pixel phones was solved with the 9 pro. Google knocked it out the park with the 9 series.
wow google was successful
I am 5ft2" & have small hands & not much dexterity - so for me, a larger phone which I hold with two hands is far better than not being able to hold & operate a phone with one hand
@@XtraInfo1298 Understood. Thank you for sharing. Your circumstance is something I never considered.
What fits you doesn't mean to fit anybody. Manufacturers shouldn't make any other sizes if you're right.
I agree. I got the pixel 9 thinking that maybe it was too small. But it has been a revelation. With my large hands I can one-hand this phone, which makes a huge difference in every day use.
I see the Pixel 9 as the huge step forward that Google needed to make their phones better. For me i don't care about a ton of AI or camera features. I like that the 9 fixed brightness, overheating, battery life and connectivity. All things in my opinion that makes it worth the uograde. Funny how most saw the 9 series as filler waiting on the Pixel 10 series. But Google surprised us.
There is no filler, Google designs everything for the phone. What people don't get is everything on Pixel just works. Can't say that about all android. Also the fixed the modem issues that's the main reason I got the 9 pro. I went on a trip this past year and boy my pixel 7 overheated like mad and got it's never been the same since.
Plus the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor! They basically addressed the majority of complaints from the previous series.
Agreed.
The pixel 9 base model is a powerhouse.. The size is perfect and pixels to me are the definition of a smartphone..
Now that gemini live is free to all android users, I think it offers a more accessible interaction option to the average user. My mom who is in her 60's loves it. She didn't care anything about AI until gemini live.
5:03 tbf, I don't think tensor is to blame for the wait time, it's just the software that is slow. It takes the same amount of time to process photos and use magic editor on the pixel 9 and the pixel 6 pro.
Especially because magic editor literally isn't on device lol
@@Samsonfs yh
I don't know what makes you think that by putting Brutally honest on every video makes it more subjective
Reimagine is not "very gimmicky." In fact, I don't find any of the AI features to be gimmicky. I don't understand how you have the phone and you don't see all of the features that are upgraded and changed. Like the video on the pixel 9 pro is legs above the eight pro I don't. Are you guys just getting the phones for a couple of days and sending them back? You actually really using them? Or you just in an echo chamber with other reviewers?
I guess we're two different people when it comes to the use of AI. Things like pixel studio or reimagine do nothing for me. Maybe for your everyday life it appeals to you. I don't think your conclusion should be echo chamber view or I don't use it just cus we don't have the same use cases.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. I don't have the use for the features you mentioned. I then go on to mention the things I use. I even forgot to mention circle to search which is a game changer
@CallMeKJOS the reason I call it an echo chamber is because nearly every reviewer on UA-cam has made certain to mention that Tensor G4 is way under powered, therefore, the Pixel 9 Pro is not a flagship. Which means that it's overpriced! The AI image processing is slow because of Tensor G4! The gaming isn't good because of Tensor G4! The 8k video boost wouldn't be necessary if Tensor G4 had more onboard power! All of those supposed knocks are fringe issues! Less than 1 percent of the population will be using the Pixels for high end gaming or 8k video recording! Yet, 99% of reviewers spend 50% of their reviews referencing how under powered Tensor is while simultaneously being shocked that it's performing at the same level or better than flagships in its price range! My question becomes then, If you really cannot knock the performance of the product for what 99% of the people are using it for and that same 99% are also buying other flagships at the same cost, then how could you associate that it's not worth its price?
That being said, I'm sitting in a room among friends and family and we're discussing things that may require more knowledge or statistics. They start out asking Siri questions while getting all these half baked answers, and end up asking Gemini a bunch of nuanced questions in a full blown AI conversation while being simultaneously MIND BLOWN! That just doesn't seem like a device not worth its price when the BIG BOY 16 pros and S24 Ultras are sitting on the coffee tables and taking notes! I MEAN DAMN, the other devices can't even process the questions well enough to give accurate responses. They have all that power and no ability to correctly decipher language without repetition!
The native implementation of Gemini on the pixel is second to none and has no close VOICE ASSISTED rival! But, too bad it's not a flagship and Google is ripping people off with its "very gimmicky" AI feature set!
we love you kj, road to 30k
Can't wait!
I am on my second Pixel 9 Pro XL. The build quality on these things are shotty. I am pretty sure the haptic feedback actuator in my second one is going out now
I don't like that I can't remove the date and time to be able to use the free space for widgets. I also wish I could place all of my apps in folders to make them easier to access.
That’s a big L for pixel🫤
Even if having a smaller phone is more comfortable, having a bigger/better battery life is better because it's better for watching content.
I'm stuck between choosing Pixel or iPhone. 😅
same
Pixels hace good cameras,. One downside is the EV and shadow sliders, they're dreadful and dont work properly as the phones aggressive post processing overrides and adjustments made . Photos usually look great on the screen after adjusting the EV, but then the phone does its bit snd the photos look dreadful
I have pixel 7..should I upgrade to pixel 9?
I was surprised that I experienced some downsides with the fotos of my pixel 9, since everyone praises it‘s cameras. Especially in mediocre lighting the autofocus couldn’t hold up to my iPhone 15 pro max and produced some blurry pictures when the motive moved slightly. That was disappointing.
I have to say that my designer soul is pleased with how fantastic your videos look. I have an iPhone 13 mini and am thinking of switching to a Pixel, although it will be difficult. I briefly tried the Pixel 6a and Pixel 8 in the past, but the environment didn’t seem as polished compared to the iPhone, even though the Pixel had a 120Hz display. Another thing that bothered me, though it’s certainly a small thing for some, was that in almost every third-party app there is a distracting bar at the bottom that makes the rounded display edges look square. Can anyone tell me if this has improved? Thank you, I'm subscribing now.
Hopefully, We getting you to 30k 🎉
@@a_sad_stranger thank you
great video. I love the honesty 🍻
Is everything still soldered to the mobo? I'm thinking about longevity. How fixable is this phone?
0:20 could you provide a link to the wallpaper
Got it from backdrops
How is the screenshot app a gimmick? I go straight to the app after I take a screenshot 😕
What do you do within the screenshot app?
I can't ever see myself using a phone over 6.3 inches
You're in luck!!
I have a vivo x note that's like 7inches. It gets old real quick to hold a phone that large. 6.3 is a breath of fresh air
I prefer the Google pixel 9 Pro Series
Funny enough I have a video coming up.
How much will it be for in the black friday sale? Considering that it sells for 800 right now
It's currently 575 (over 2/3 years) in the UK right now
£575 where are you seeing that. Its £700
£799
@@johncolquhoun6416 on a phone plan obviously lmao, but it's on voxi so you don't actually have to stick with them. But it's probably sold out.
I agree with everything you said. I got the Pixel 9 at launch, which I knew was historically an unwise decision. But I have been really happy with it, even at full price and knowing I probably overpaid by 20% (my last phone was literally dead though)
Great review. Google are doing great trade in just now. Even for older phones. I got £255 off im sure that near to what i paid for my samsung A52s
Subbed. I like your style.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I’m on pixel 8, and struggling massively with the charging speed. Any fix?
I have the 9 pro XL and it charges pretty fast.
OnePlus 12
There is none , you should have buy a Chinese phone
Like wait for the global launch of the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, better photos and videos , better charging , better screen etc
@@alexdenton6586 and only double the price with way worse software lol
Switch it off while charging. Works for me on pixel 9 pro xl
I recently switched from the s24 to the Google pixel 9 pro and I have to tell you that the 9 pro is equal to the s24 however, the 9 pro has a better screen than the s24 and little better build quality than the generic s24
Can anyone recommend a good app that can transfer most of the data to and from old to new android phone as well as to iphone and from phone
What do you think is much better to buy? Both are $750.
Pixel 9 - 128gb
Pixel 8 Pro - 256gb
Pixel 9 100%
@@CallMeKJOS ohhh, just surprised that Pixel 9 non pro version is better that Pixel 8 pro version with much higher storage capacity.
Thank you!
Chale this KJ guy is good🙏 I’ve come to love him❤
@@iddrisabubakar5981 appreciate you Idris! Thank you.
Please which will you recommend, pixel 9 or the S24. The pixel is actually more expensive than the Samsung in my country. While I do prefer the Google software but Tensor makes me tense 😬.
Just got the Pixel 9 Pro to replace the S23. No Performance issues love the pure Google experience.
@@Fozzee.1970 No thermal issues??, I am not a gamer but I play COD mobile very often. And yeah Google software is just really good
@@davidbasil5368 I don't game but no lovely and cool so far.
The pixel 9. There are no issues at all.
@@CallMeKJOS Thanks 👍 so pixel it is
I hope to get this soon
If there is anything they should incorporate AI, it should be the keyboard.
How would that work?
The video is toooooooo clean
@@TrainingIsTherapy appreciate it 🙏🏿
I have the pixel 8 pro. Worth the upgrade on no
@@wedonttalkaboutbruno5670 to the pixel 9 pro or 9?
@@CallMeKJOS 9 pro xl
Pixel 8 pro is a fairly new model..you don't really need to upgrade manh.. most of the features of pixel 9 series are marginal improvements from pixel 8 series. Wait for pixel 10 series atleast, I read TSMC will produce the chips for the next pixel 10 series. The samsung ones are bad
@@CallMeKJOSI would rather have the pixel 9 Pro big as it has the Heat
Oneplus 12 and / or 13 are better, in my opinion, and a midrange Motorola Think phone are great underatted units as well, and my S24 Plus + Samsung 512 gig is my primary phone!

Sorry man, I need a big phone . This "balance" isn't what I'm looking for
Haha thus proving my point you know.
In fact the S24 is just big enough for me
The s24 has a horrible display that's why I didn't purchase it😮
@@Noworries-PU7ye how is it horrible?
Don't get pixel 9 then they are heavier
@@marufio the heavier the better it's made well. I want something that's going to hold up. I can't buy at full price. Black Friday deals should be a good time to buy. I just hope the Google holds up as long as my Samsung did.
I hope to get this phone.. but I can't afford it 😢😢... Do a give away ❤❤❤
Too expensive I hear you😮
I would love to know what is the perfect phone for them since they have all this biased opinion about Google phones and always praising the iPhone and the Samsung pixel take great pictures and videos plus best AI in any smartphone today so what else do you want people or you cmmments here just to be biased
hm
My complaint is price. you can get iphone 16 with much better hardware for the same price in UK. Its same money as Samsung S24. For what is essentially a poor SOC with similar performance to a SD 7 gen 3 becomes a lot of money when theres plenty of cheaper options with similar performance like oneplus nord 4
anything is better than the pixel... worst mistake of my life. poor in features, awful customer experience, too expensive for what it has to offer
