Only Dave2D could watch a "De-Google Your Life" video while reviewing a Google phone 😂

Hi Dave,
I asked Gemini on my Pixel 7 to summarise this video and this is what showed up. So apparently this is not a Pixel 9 series-exclusive feature.
In this video, Dave2D reviews the new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. Overall, he is impressed with the phone, but he has some criticisms. The hardware has minimal updates from the previous generation, and the AI software is not particularly impressive. However, the battery life is very good, and the camera is excellent.
Here are some of the key points from the review:
* Hardware: The phone has a new flat design, a brighter screen, and ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. The haptics and speakers are the same as the previous generation. The new chip is barely faster than the previous generation, and it throttles down quickly when playing heavy games.
* Software: The phone has three new AI features: the ability to summarize a YouTube video using Gemini, the Pixel Studio app, and the ability to search through screenshots. The Pixel Studio app is a lot of fun, but it is not very useful. The ability to search through screenshots is a useful feature.
* Camera: The camera is the best part of the phone. The telephoto lens is much better than the previous generation, and the video stabilization is good. The front-facing camera is now 42 megapixels, but the image quality is not much different from the previous generation.
* Price: The phone is $100 more expensive than the previous generation. However, it is likely to go on sale for much less than the MSRP.
Dave2D recommends the phone to people who are looking for a good camera phone with excellent battery life. However, he does not think that the AI features are worth the price.

This is the best review I've seen of these devices, I can tell from the user experience problems you ran into that you genuinely used the device for an extended period of time. Well done.

I used the Pixel 9's Gemini to ask for a summary for this video and it straight up rejected me 💀

I work at t mobile and got selected to be a pixel advocate last year and I fell in love with the Pixel 8 Pro
I just got my 9 Pro XL today from Google and so far so good!!! It's such a good phone and the battery life is improved! That was my major gripe last year
I'm buying the 9 Pro Fold and switching from iPhone this year!

20X zoom with Video Boost.

You can do a lot with this feature.
Finally someone from Google is a man of culture!

Wow. 20 mins review from Dave2D. Let’s begin the video.

Remember when we all asked for A.I?

Nope me neither.

They (Google and Apple) are struggling to find anything to improve phones, they are so good that at this point I see little reason to upgrade other than software support

The Pixel 9 runs an instance of Gemini _locally_ on its metal, that's why it's fast. The device also gives half of its RAM to Gemini, so while 16gb of RAM is impressive, the device only has access to half of that.

Top quality review like always! Good job D2D

I was amazed by the Pixel 6 line and got one for myself despite its lower specifications compared to other devices.
But for a $600 starting price, I was getting a lot for my money.
Now, the value is no longer there.

So, I ditched my Pixel for the S23 Ultra, and the difference is significant.

I'd consider the Pixel device again after they use a TSMC processor.

In this video, Dave2D reviews the new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. He starts by talking about the hardware, which is very similar to the previous generation. The new shape is flatter and the screens are brighter. The fingerprint sensors are ultrasonic and the haptics and speakers are the same. The chip is barely faster than the previous generation and it throttles down quickly when playing heavy games. However, the battery life is very impressive.
Then, Dave2D talks about the software, which is the most interesting part of the review. He talks about the new Gemini AI features, which include the ability to summarize a YouTube video, the Pixel Studio app, and the Screenshots app. He also talks about the new camera features, which include the super res Zoom, 8K video, and the magic editor.
Finally, Dave2D talks about the pricing of the new Pixel 9 Pro XL, which is $100 more than the previous generation. He says that the AI features are not worth the price and that you can wait a few months for the price to drop. However, he does say that the camera features are very impressive and that they are worth the price.

thank you for the review but as a consumer i dont care about the ai features. I care about the processor, the camera, the battery, the display.
