Hey Chaps! Are you tempted to buy a new Pixel 9??

Correction: Google updated the Pixel 8 series to support displayout with the USB-C port, this came via an update earlier this year

Loved this review. I did find it hilarious when you said, "The bigger question is 'why not just save several hundred dollars and just go for a regular Pixel 9?'", then you proceed to list off a whole lot of features people would be missing out on lol

[mdc-vv]

Not for me. I hate this trend of slathering every single feature with unnecessary AI. The entire phone just seems to be full of gimmicky features that you use once and then forget even exists.

I actually quite like the idea of the screenshot app completely separating screenshots from actual photos/videos. Yeah there’s a screenshot folder in the gallery, but scrolling through the gallery to find the odd screenshot constantly gets annoying so I’m looking forward to that.

Excited to get the P9P XL tomorrow! Been wanting to switch to google for ages

Thank you for the review. I appreciate the fact that you did a side by side of 8pro vs 9pro. Very helpful! Love the look of the phone and how fast it seems to be. Very excited for mine.

It’s interesting that no one brings up how lurchy the Pixel 8 Pro’s scrolling was on third-party apps like Twitter or reddit. Yeah, the phone feels smooth when you’re running Google’s apps, but I think this disparity deserves to be mentioned.

I hope the P9P is smoother. 🙏

The new refresh design stunning. Overall I think only google doesn't have a boring phone design till now 😅

[eulehund]

How is the social media camera quality? In an interview Google said that they also worked heavily on improving that. Would love a YT Short showing the difference between the P8P and P9P XL.

"Do you want a 6.3 or 6.8 inch phone?" 😉

I laughed a little bit too much when I got it 2 seconds later😂😅

[chancesareshewears]

call screening IS THE MOST VALUABLE feature, available on every Pixel since Pixel 2..that is the feature you should embrace..

[GamerLCD]

I'm getting the Pro Fold. I don't do gaming, but I do a lot of multitasking and love having multiple things open. I'm switching from the iphone15 mostly just because the iphones are hella boring now lol. I'm tired of the same design every single year. The pixel should be a big breath of fresh air for me anyways. I don't like how YouTube reviewers get into this bubble of being so engrossed with so many options for Technoloy, that they forget 90% of the average consumer base doesn't care about those tiny differences. That's not a shot at the Tech Chap, love your channel. All the tech reviewers do it. Also I work for AT&T and have a Fold6 as my company given work phone, so I get it haha.

i feel like the editing on this video is just next level

[youngfigaro]

All the new features are nice but they still need to improve the G4. Performing worse than the 8 gen 2 from almost 2 years ago while still being priced around other flagshups

[callmeseags]

I will never give up call screening. ABSOLUTELY the best feature of any phone hands down.

[Norshuttle]

The Pixels a have only been properly available in Norway for 2 years (8 and now 9).
Really tempted for the 9 Pro XL, as a replacer for my 14PM. The cameras looks alot better then the 14 (I like more dynamic and punchy photos) and the 30x zoom looks nice.
Great to see battery and the fingerprint sensor has improved.
If you buy it directly from Google, you get enough store credit for a new set og Buds Pro 2. That is dragging me towards it for sure. 😊

[awaisahmed]

That chips set is Google's Downfall. Why can't they just stick with Qualcomm untill they actually have something that can rival and beat Qualcomm.

[mayadunia]

i believe in him not in any tech company behind, his review is pure subjectif

[mikldude]

Good video mate.
Interesting to look at the photos comparison between the 8 and 9, quite a few of the 8 pro's I preferred over the 9, some the 9 were definitely slightly better, however in my eyes, it was more or less a draw .
Sometimes newer models don't always mean better in every way .
For example having a new model phone with one billion nits of screen brightness sounds good on paper, but if in the real world it becomes quite dim after only 2 minutes, then having one billion nits in the first place was fairly pointless !
The new finger print sensor would be nice, the one on my 8 pro is so bad I have enabled the pin pattern. The FPS on the 8 is very inconsistent, I mentioned that to my younger brother, he said his pixel 7 was the same.
I go for a half hour walk nearly every day when I am feeling up to it ( because I'm old), I have my iPhone 14 pro max with me playing music, displaying my health app, and the screen remains at a brightness that is nicely legible in direct sunlight the whole time, and I'm hanging on to the phone the whole time, occasionally stopping to take some photos of the landscape, nature ( I live near acreage we call the kangaroo paddocks).
I wouldn't mind having the 9 pro XL, but for the most part, it seems like a pretty small improvement overall, and I don't game on a phone which neither pixel is really good at anyway, and any modest improvements in the 9 pro chipset just do not look compelling when the 8 pro is still quite fast in day to day use.
And the AI stuff, I'm not really all that excited about it, a lot of it looks pretty gimmicky to me.

[welshlad]

Always wanted to get a Pixel for many years, but each year i decided against as it was always falling short and missing things. I finally bit the bullet on the 7 pro. Unfortunately other than the camera it disappointed. The same happened with the Pixel 8 pro. Both times I only had the phones for 6 months because of this. I’m currently rocking the iPhone 15 Pro Max and again thinking of the Pixel 9 Pro. Looking at this review and and many others I think I will leave it until the Pixel 10 Pro and see where that’s at. Great vlog as always Mr Tech Chap.

I had some high hopes for the P9 series, with the P9P the one I was eyeing off... however, there's really nothing I find compelling enough for me to upgrade from my Pixel 6, not even with all the gimmicky AI features they're banging on about (couldn't care less TBH)! Oh well, I'll wait for the P10 series and its TSMC Tensor G5 5nm tech... I'd like to think it would be worth upgrading then. Thanks Tech Chap for a great review. 😎
