Great video. Have my 9 PRO XL 512gb Hazel color since August 22nd after trade in Iphone15 Pro Max. Totally love this device! 10 email accounts, social media, photos , videos, games and use Gemini advanced every day...not one hiccup and battery is beast. It just does everything so smoothly and so well.
Last pixel I had was the 7 pro and battery was awful; have a 15 pro max now that I’m paying monthly for until April 2026 so don’t really wanna trade this and continue to have to pay the monthly fee for 1.5 years just to get a new phone 😩
Switched to the 9 Pro XL after using the base 9 for a couple months. Love the bigger screen and the telephoto. I didn't think I would use the zoom but I've been using it religiously. It's significantly better if you're at a concert or when you see some sort of Street freak like I do walking around downtown. Feels exactly like the 14 Pro Max I traded in to get the base pixel 9 too! I love it. Great battery, fast everyday performance, premium build, simple but great.
@@_haru007_ If you do not know something you should keep shut. I have Google pixel 8 as my daily driver , I am working in a tech company and it is very fast and smooth and gives a premium experience in every inch.
Glass is glass and will always scratch under the right circumstances no matter what bullshit name corning attaches to it. In addition they're going for impact resistance so that also doesn't help with scratch resistance.
True. I hate people who believe this crap. If i carry my phone in my pockets, without foil or 'glass' protector, the screen WILL BE scratched. 110%. Some people may not care but you will AT LEAST have 'micro' scratches and you will seem them when the light shines in a certain direction. For me - Every tiny-micro scratch will drive me insane. Never dropped the Phone and never had problems using 'foil' instead of 'glass'.
Got mine a week ago. I am really liking it, but experiencing a bit of FOMO of whether I should have went for a "bendy blower" instead. But overall its solid and the camera is fantastic, especially the 5x zoom. Put Spigen screen protectors on the front and the cameras.
I agree with you! I'm in 2 minds of upgrading to the fold but I think I want to wait until the screen technology reaches a better durability state. I don't need to carry a phone and a tablet all of the time but when I do need that bigger display a fold would answer my solution but the durability isn't quite there for me yet.
Just bought one on Cyber Monday on Amazon for $850 and to be delivered today! Really looking forward to receiving it and set it up!! Right now, I am using the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Wanted the Pixel 9 pro fold but it's still too expensive, even with the mark down deals.
@@vliutskanovno phone is "so perfect" as UA-camrs say to us. Every phone has its downs and it's ups, you may not be a pixel person but A LOT of people are and have all of their needs met.
My only Apple device, and quite possibly my last, is the iPhone 15 pro max. I think Android is so much better. Rest of my immediate family has iPhones but I don’t like it as much as they do.
It's not /that/ big, it's smaller in the hands than an S24 Ultra and I have had no problem using it one handed vs my S24 Ultra, in fact it's way more comfortable in the hand as a result of the nicer corners and frame feel.
I've been using my pixel 9 pro XL now for about 6 weeks and I'm pretty happy with it Not had any issues at all I do find the battery charging slow but have ordered a really good pd charger so hopefully that will help The screen is great but more natural colours and not as in your face as Samsung or apple which is a good thing . Id definitely recommend it and recommend a good screen protector and camera protector too
I been eyeing the Pixel for years now and this year is when I finally made the decision of leaving apple. It is one of the best decisions I have made. I love this phone, I actually feel like I bought something new
I've had the pixel 9 pro XL since launch and although I do love this phone 90% of the time, there is 10% that I get annoyed with it. Since the latest update everytime I make a phone call the signal drops then disappears cutting the call off completely then signal comes straight back. Thought it was just my device but the other half's pixel 7 pro also does this since the update. Hopefully this is sorted soon as I sound like a broken record Everytime I make a call.
I've found once you go bigger it's hard to go back. I'm also 3 months into power using mine now when I look at my partner's Pixel 8 it feels incredibly undersized.
I've got the 7 pro and it's just updated to Android 15 and I've found all the features on my phone that I'm likely to use in your review, so I think I'm happy to stick with what I've got for now. 🤔
Love my Pixel 9 Pro XL I'm an Amazon driver and this phone rocks! I'm not using a screen protector and so far the screen does not have any major scratches! 🤘🏽
If you're on the fence about this phone, buy it. It is a fantastic all around device, and I find myself using this over my S24 Ultra most of the time because it's that good and that much more comfortable to hold and use for long periods of time. Phenomenal device, especially when you can score one on sale.
I always block the news recommendations that android phone comes with when swiping left. Is this possible on Pixel? Since this is something that blocks google search in general. On Samsung it doesn’t matter. Also. Can the app drawer be arranged like an iPhone instead of swiping up? Thank you.
After iphone 15 pm and samsung s24 ultra i choose pixel 9 pro xl and i dont have any regrets! Great on photos an good on battery life, software is great!
My pixel 9 Pro XL has the total opposite problem to yours. My auto brightness is constantly reducing the level far too much. I pretty much have to boost it every time I unlock it. Also the now playing feature doesn't always show on the lock screen. This requires a restart to resolve, but this is only a temporary fix, as it then stops working a short time later. Maybe Google should spend a bit more time on getting the core features right, and a little less time on AI features that may, OT may not be useful to their customers. Thoughts?
I do have a question for owners of the XL version, now that you've owned it for a while do you still regard it as better than the smaller 9 Pro? Or would you, with hindsight opt for the smaller phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
How do you think the pics compare to the Find X8? I'm from the US and recently had to buy a new phone while on vacation in Asia so I bought the X8 and I'm impressed with this phone. It could just be me because I normally rock midrange phones but damn this phone can take a picture.
On the 9 pro fold but I go back to it from time to time. Rose quartz was the route I went so no back plate smudging is visible. It's insanely solid and I get why it's in the phone of the year convo. Just wish they'd put the power button and the volume rocker in their right positions.
The 9 series in the pro models are the best Pixel to date. I don't think many adults will really care about gaming performance. It's really a niche market. What really matters is the software and then secondarily, the hardware. Offering two sizes in a pro model was genius.
I love my Pixel 6 Pro, but I am in need of an upgrade for more local storage space. After watching your video about the Oppo Find X8 Pro (and subsequently watching Juan's), I'm kinda leaning toward getting the one that's hundreds of dollars less. I'm scared that I won't like the camera as much though.
i was excited when pixel 9 pro was announced. pro cameras but a smaller device 👍 whenever i use my s23 ultra for small online things i catch myself say to myself, "this screen is big and things look stretched" 😆
One bug that I have experienced with this phone is at night when I dim down the phone while scrolling Instagram or Facebook. Some photos or videos were automatically get super bright even though my brightness is set to a low setting
If Google gave a slightly better Fast Charging time then I'd happily Jump over but currently I'm still Rocking my Oppo Find X5 Pro which doesn't skip a beat 2 years on and literally like you say a quick 10min charge boosts the phone battery by nearly half, Best Phone I've ever owned.
My Pixel 4a has still been the best Android experience i have ever had, including my S23U. Android problems not withstanding if i were to get an android device right now the standard Pixel 9 PRO would likely be my pick. I am very anxious about the chip, getting away from Snapdragon is always super stressful because i have tried Exynos, Kirin and Dimensity chips and the experience was less than stellar. In fact in several cases it was downright abhorrent. Snapdragon chips even at their worst have a certain quality and support behind them. With that being said, games are finally over for me and i am joining team Apple this time over due to universal support and certain features that don't exist in Android but make a whole lot of sense on what i want. I am willing to sacrifice on options in order to allow what i want.
I power use my Pro 9 XL for personal and business using dual sim constantly and it works well. Battery has never failed me, very good! Android is very user friendly and feels more fluid and clean compared to IOS. Not too worried about quick charging as i mainly let it trickle charge while im asleep anyway. Im just bored of the lack of innovation in phones these days. For 10 Pro XL I would like: - other "pro" features not just focused on an amazing camera - Customisable LED notification lights. - Replace temperature sensor (not sure anyone needs it) - Square off the display edges similar to S24 Ultra - A better quick access drawer (personally i think icons are too big and boring) - Stop forcing the homescreen search bar & "At a Glance"
how is the the selfie cam for apps like tiktok and snap compare to an iphone... i really want to go back to android, but it the selfie cam is a huge deal breaker. did they improve?
It's a great phone. I upgraded from the 8 Pro XL which looked like a minimal upgrade but actually feels more weighty. Bluetooth and the modem are much better which were weak points in previous pixels. The extra memory helps and photos are processed quickly. The fingerprint sensor is still not the best on the market but face unlock is super speedy as long as there is enough light. The Pixel watch can also unlock the phone although I'm not sure how this is meant to work - it seems sporadic and possibly overkill given the other methods to unlock. As for fingerprints, who uses a phone without a case? I have a Mous magsafe case for hands free wireless charging in the car. The case gets finger-printy but who cares as long as the business side is clean?
Any overheating issues? Does it get warm too quickly or warm at all when doing normal things like a camera and browsing the web or watching UA-cam videos? What climate do you live in? I have the 8 pro and it gets hot so so quick, but I live in Texas. But my S24 ultra does not get hot nearly as fast in the same weather. What about you?
Still have my pixel 6pro, the screen start to leak on its own. Found a pixel 8 pro 128gb for $400 CAD but found an S24 Ultra $800. They are both great phones, even the 6 pro is enough for me.
Photos app also seems to create a copy of every image if you try to edit it. Some small image adjustments will let you save the original with the changes, but most edits will result in having a copy of the picture created. It also moves that copy to the top of the album making it difficult to remember or find pictures you've edited. This clutters the photos app immensely making it hard to navigate.
@@SENSEII3585 I noticed the auto-focus issue yesterday actually! The 5x zoom struggles to focus on words and faces. Landscape pictures are no issues like a view of a lake or a tall building. But you're right, other than that pictures are really good 😅
In order to provide premium features at an affordable cost people they manufacture in bulk quantity so that the costing will play important role and this is only possible when there os a demand dor the product Keeping low margin and focusing on volume will benifits both buyer and salerrs. instead offering discount at later stage.
Love this Phone but people who complain about it being "big" its just nuts because its fine also got a screen protector on mine legitimately as i got it even a camera protector just because also cant rock it without a case when not at home
Spectrum has a deal right now where the Pixel 9 pro xl is 600 dollars, and they're offering 100 dollars on top of your trade in value. Don't think this deal can be beaten
Which has a better video camera, the Pixel 9 or the iphone 15? For example, at a concert at night, which one makes better recordings, and which captures bass, low, and high sounds better? It's important that the sound doesn't crackle
Love this channel ,ive been rocking the xl pro for 5 weeks now and its better than me 24 ultra in many ways ,but the s25 ultra is a must for me ,and il keep me pixel as a 2nd phone ,
Should i purchase iphone 16pro max or go with pixel 9 pro xl. Need suggestion which will be good for long run as i will keep phone for 3-4 years and will only upgrade after using it for 3-4 years?? Currently using iphone 8plus…..
Plenty of secondhand Pixels on eBay over the last month or so, and the prices have fallen dramatically, so you can easily get £500 off, maybe more if you get lucky. Indeed, I could not say it was a good buy at those prices. Having a Pixel 8 Pro and watching reviews of the 9, I see zero reasons to upgrade, so buying a new Pixel 8 for even less seems a reasonable solution if buying a new one.
I’d live to try this phone but I can’t get off of Apple. All my kids have it and I like seeing where they are with the find me app. It’s for safety. I wish there was a way to do this but with android. That way they can keep their iPhones but I can get this phone. It’s literally then it thing holding me back.

It also moves that copy to the top of the album making it difficult to remember or find pictures you've edited. This clutters the photos app immensely making it hard to navigate.
Totally agree with you. Now I'm facing the auto-focus delay issue in the campera app.. So frustrating! but the pictures are great.
@@SENSEII3585 I noticed the auto-focus issue yesterday actually! The 5x zoom struggles to focus on words and faces. Landscape pictures are no issues like a view of a lake or a tall building. But you're right, other than that pictures are really good 😅
In order to provide premium features at an affordable cost people they manufacture in bulk quantity so that the costing will play important role and this is only possible when there os a demand dor the product Keeping low margin and focusing on volume will benifits both buyer and salerrs. instead offering discount at later stage.
I want a Google pixel 9 pro XL, for Christmas...
May my wish come through ❤
noice new uploaddd
I just need your wallpaper collection.
Enjoying my pixel 7 pro 😊
Review for Nubia z70 ultra ? 😊
Salve sei molto bravo nelle recensioni volevo chiederti tra pixel 9 pro ed il vivo x200 pro mini per foto e video quelle scelgo ? Grz mille
Love this Phone but people who complain about it being "big" its just nuts because its fine also got a screen protector on mine legitimately as i got it even a camera protector just because also cant rock it without a case when not at home
Spectrum has a deal right now where the Pixel 9 pro xl is 600 dollars, and they're offering 100 dollars on top of your trade in value. Don't think this deal can be beaten
Please tell me where you get your wallpapers
Would upgrading from a pixel 6?
I'm enjoying my 9 Pro XL, but I do wish it had the same form factor as my old 7 Pro.
what the name of the game are you playing in the review
Which has a better video camera, the Pixel 9 or the iphone 15? For example, at a concert at night, which one makes better recordings, and which captures bass, low, and high sounds better? It's important that the sound doesn't crackle
Love this channel ,ive been rocking the xl pro for 5 weeks now and its better than me 24 ultra in many ways ,but the s25 ultra is a must for me ,and il keep me pixel as a 2nd phone ,
Will you re:review the Sony Xperia 1 VI with A15?
Upvote for the Nausicaa boxed set.
Jann man den Kontrollzentrum ändern? Ist mir zu groß die Button kann man wie iPhone oder wie Samsung nur die Zeichen draufmachen
Is there any way of removing the search bar on the home screen at the bottom and the small clock that is on the top left of the home screen
Should i purchase iphone 16pro max or go with pixel 9 pro xl. Need suggestion which will be good for long run as i will keep phone for 3-4 years and will only upgrade after using it for 3-4 years?? Currently using iphone 8plus…..
You came to India?
from where you get the wallpapers?
Dude, the picture of you in the bags had me laughing on the floor 😂😂 I would maybe you suggest you just retire that one! 🤣🤣
Just for info, the theft protection isn't part of Android 15... I've got it and am still on 14.
It has already been 3 months since it has released?
I wish google caught up the tensor for sheer power
Plenty of secondhand Pixels on eBay over the last month or so, and the prices have fallen dramatically, so you can easily get £500 off, maybe more if you get lucky. Indeed, I could not say it was a good buy at those prices. Having a Pixel 8 Pro and watching reviews of the 9, I see zero reasons to upgrade, so buying a new Pixel 8 for even less seems a reasonable solution if buying a new one.
Time flies..soon 6 soon forgotten.
Was thinking about getting this but found a good deal for the S24 Ultra so went with that instead. I still think this one looks cool though.
You visited india ? I wish we could get in touch
Where to find that wallpaper?
I’d live to try this phone but I can’t get off of Apple. All my kids have it and I like seeing where they are with the find me app. It’s for safety. I wish there was a way to do this but with android. That way they can keep their iPhones but I can get this phone. It’s literally then it thing holding me back.
