BRUTALLY HONEST - Pixel 9 Vs iPhone 16 (Two Weeks Later)

It's been two weeks since the iPhone 16 was out and I have been using it with the new Pixel 9. While they are small in size, they make up for it in the size, build quality and price. However, which of these two phones offer the best value? Let's find out.

The normal Pixel 9 is just fine for me. I upgraded from the Pixel 6A since I don't feel the need to change phones every year like others do.

Two AI features on the Pixel that I use quite often are the call screening for unknown callers and the "hold for me" when I call a business and am put in queue to be answered. Good examples of AI making life easier

I totally agree! You see the display Everyday. It is a huge dealbreaker with 60hz

Loving the phone reviews bro. great production and they seem so honest and to the point. I look forward to all your reviews. Keep up the great work!

I love choice, freedom and flexibility and hence pixel/android all day. The reason being the level of choices I can make to try exotic devices without worrying about the ecosystem.
As a phone iphone might be better but as a ecosystem I don't like to be caged by a tech.
Just imagine a few years back iphone had a lightening port and ipad had type C. If it was not for EU, apple would never change and this would have been such a pain.
But if you are in the ecosystem you can't do much and it feels like being caged. No matter the cage is made of gold or iron, its still a cage.

Nice to see someone else using backdrops app, I love the wallpapers.

He says "When will AI on a smartphone be useful in our day to day, like how we make calls or send text messages ..."

But fails to even mention Google Call Screen which is game changing, fails to mention Call Notes, fails to mention that Gboard can proofread your text messages and correct typos using AI.

Add me is definitely a gimmicky party trick, but at least it works well.

I have just bought the Pixel 9 and I love everything about it. Amazing phone.

[ChinmayKashid]

Great narration and I like how you spit facts instead of beating around the bush. Clearly proved that the review is unbiased. Thanks for no glorying for the use of AI in photos. Yes It’s a party trick which will wear down within a weeks’s usage. Kudos for no sugarcoating any particular flaw of either smartphone. Hope you stay true to your principle even when you get bigger and I am certain that you will. People have been fed up with sponsored promotional biased reviews and this review is something an average consumer would relate to. Best wishes.

Hi KJ. I watched a lot of videos trying to find which is the best. But for sure your opinion is just clear ... crystal clear ... No nonsense, no bias ... Great... Thanks Buddy ...

[armandovasquez]

I wantto upgrade to the pixel 9, but my pixel 7 still works like new...

[saitamaa-hero-for-fun]

Great video production. Very calm and cool. Subbed.

[KianFloppa]

google better in every way when its not about raw perf.

[marieviadieu]

I just love this Channel. Great video! Thank you man 😊

[ashwin_mahajan]

60Hz on a premium phone and still buying it is a sign of slavery.

[EmmanuelOjex]

Lovely!

Don't know why, just wanted to watch this and damn, you are right every step of the way.

I've always known the edge that iPhone has over my Pixel is just the video end, everything else is a Pixel winner for me.

Thanks for this.

[aiwwakk]

Pixel is great, the best premium build android phone..

[meetmistry]

Is Pixel 9 pro worth it?
Guys, please guide me to buy a better flagship phone📱

[GNMD_CTZN]

Not buying a new iPhone until it has 120hz on the base models.

[kaianthony]

Both great phones, I think Google and Apple put out great base models this year. I definitely think the 9 pro is a much better choice than the 16 pro especially with the trade in deals.
