After having a horrendous experience with the pixel 7 pro I didn't see myself going back to pixels for a long time, but last November I decided to trade my s24 ultra for a pixel 9 pro xl and man, I don't regret the decision at all. I've always loved how iPhones feel, something makes them feel so luxurious for some reason, but I hate iOs that's why I never use them for long, the 9 pro xl feels just like that while being android, it's the perfect combo lol

Thank you for this in-depth comparison. A lot of other YouTubers just focus on camera and that's the last thing I'm interested in when I consider getting a phone

Imagine pixel with the new snapdragon elite chip 😍

[vishalvenkat]

I wish the Pixel would drop the glossy back/glossy side rails. Just stick with matte textures like the Samsung Galaxy line.

Just bought the pixel 9 Pro 256GB. Got it brand new on eBay for £675 which is over £400 off the original price. Think it’s an absolute bargain for this phone. Looking forward to enjoying it in 2025.

So I returned my s25 Ultra to go back to my pixel 9pro XL. It is so much more comfortable and I don't notice that much more battery life between the two for my usage.

I bough both a P9P and S24 Ultra a couple months ago. Sent the Ultra back and kept the Pixel. Loved the smoothness and less app redundancy, plus the Pixel was way more comfortable to hold with the smaller size and finger shelf against the cameras. Battery life has surprisingly been the same or longer too, although I'm not a heavy phone user - I can go to bed with over 50% still most days

Switched from an iphone 13 mini - I bought it for the size, but 2 years later iOS was just annoying me and I missed Android. Thanks for making a good small(ish) phone Google!

Thank you for being the only reviewer on YouTube that is dedicated to Pixel phones reviews. Currently using the pixel 6 and looking to upgrade so thank you for the valuable info!!

At 1:55 I see you using the Double Tap to Lock feature. I have been loking all over for it but I don't seem to have it or find it on my 9 Pro. Please help?

After two years with an iPhone, I'm going back to Android with a Pixel phone and goddamn I missed this channel! Love the detailed info, the energy and the editing, keep up the amazing work!

I hate that I have to scroll all the way to the left, just to press clear all apps

I actually had a use for the temp sensor on my 8 pro. I was making wine and needed to make sure it didnt get too cold. So I didnt have to buy a surface scanning thermometer.

9Pro has a vapour cooling system and regular 9 doesnt. Long term heating issues ?

As a android user my whole life I've switched between google and Samsung but for the last few years Samsung had been my main phone I had been thinking about switching back to google after about 6 years. My first google phone was the nexus 5 I absolutely loved that phone with all my heart so after having the Samsung A52 5g i finally switched to the google pixel 9 pro and i am absolutely in love with it just got the phone about 3 days ago (in time of writing this) and everyday im figuring out new features. Great video!

i just got my Pixel 9 Pro last month and i love it...i also got a osmo mobile 6 and used it with my phone during my trip to Cairo last week...despite not having a few features if used with an iphone...my photos and videos turned out really amazing! i love the photo pano mode...it is so cool! i do need to learn more on how to really utilize other features of the osmo m6...

[shivamkrishn]

These are better than s25 and ultra despite the tensor is more inefficient.

Thanks to M14 display panel which is super efficient found in pixel series

[Punisherall]

Love these 21:9 aspect ratio videos! Goes great on Sony phones.

[gachanja]

I got the Pixel 9 and I regret not topping up and getting the 9 pro 😭 I hate the thick bezel and lack of telephoto lens the most.

[tezagra]

the one thing i want google to improve in the 10 series is the video zooming animation. the transition from ultrawide to primary to telephoto should get smoother, i want it to be as good as iphones if not better
