If you're looking for a bargain, the One Plus is the way to go. I have both phones that you're reviewing and they both have their plus and minuses. I like both of them

Been watching your visuals since the switch from iPhone to s10 plus a while back. Super proud of you man. Keep up the amazing and positive journey.

Can't wait for oneplus 13 ❤ amazing video mark 🎉

I love OnePlus but the biggest deal breaker is not getting as long support as the Pixel plus you get android updates faster on the 9 pro xl. Charging speeds are cool but most reviewers neglected to say that faster charging will also degrade the battery faster too. Then in my experience the cameras are pretty bad compared to other flagships.

Is it just me or the OnePlus 12 looks real dated next to the Pixel 9 pro XL

[rcbmulder]

Regular pixel 9 pro going to be huge because it’s small. Interesting to see if other vendors copy and knock out smaller flagships

Decent review. I just bought a Pixel 9 Pro XL and I pretty much agree. The OnePlus is a close contender.

However, there are an absolute ton of offers out there to reduce the P9 cost, I got mine $200 off without tradein on day one, making it a bit of an easier purchase decision.

I'm personally in love with the Pixel Android experience, but those camera issues are slightly worrying.
I vaguely remember similar bugs in past Pixels, so hopefully it'll be ironed out soon.

7:56 I thought that both selfies were real.. oh boy that Pixel AI re-imagine edit was good

OnePlus 12, by far, is simply the best flagship of 2024 when considering price. Nothing comes close to its performance and feature set given its price. Shows how overpriced the competition is!

One Plus 12 is a straight I place it side by side with my 24 Ultra and it's way brighter, and more vibrant display! Plus the battery/charger is absolutely insane! I rotate my Sim card between the best two Android phones out to date!!! People sleeping on One Plus!🔥🔥🔥

Had a OnePlus 8 Pro, fantastic device but it just doesn't do it for me like a Pixel does.

[yaboipookiepook]

The Pixel Phone Experience or Bust. I'm not even considering any other option. The pixel phone's usability, compatibility, and AI features are unmatched. Nothing even comes close, not even the specs. Pixel phone's exclusive features are the best, hands down! 🙋🏽‍♂️😎

I ordered the Hazel 256gb Pixel 9 Pro XL for free from T-Mobile with the trade-in of a S22 Ultra a few days ago. Waiting for it to be delivered 🎉

If there were no Pixel phones, I'd have an iPhone.

[anandraj.p]

OnePlus phone is the value for money smartphone.. for gamers its best I guess but for social media / business users maybe pixel was good.

[kpehe]

I'll go with the OnePlus because of the internals but the design would just put me off, very thick, slimmer and taller, top heavy, and a curved screen

[saik]

One phone is actually a phone.
The other phone is a ai bandwagon.

[jaroslavbestmusic]

I don't agree. Here in the Czech Republic, oneplus 12 costs 1000-1070 euros. Pixel 9 pro xl 256gb costs 920 euros after applying discounts and bonuses. Pixel is better for me.

But one plus doesn't offer 7 years of updates and there updates aren't fast either
