Correction regarding Video Boost @ 04:49: I said in this video that Video Boost only supports 1080p. I was wrong. I came to that conclusion because no matter what resolution I was shooting with Video Boost, I could only save 1080p versions of it. Here's how it actually works.

If 4K video boost is chosen, it shoots at both 4K and 1080p, but you will only be able to access the 1080p version of the video on your phone. A raw 4K version of the video is held as backup until it can be uploaded to Google servers for processing. The processed video is in 4K.

When shot in 8K, it will still shoot a 1080p base video like before, and only the 1080p version is accessible, but the 4K backup will be upscaled to 8K on Google's Servers.

All processed video boost footage can only be downloaded straight from Google's servers, and not accessible from the Pictures App. The base 1080p version is there for people who wants the footage urgently, because processing takes a loooong time.

5:15 That's incorrect. Video Boost shoots 2 videos. An on-device video that's 1080p and a lightly processed video that's 4k. That 4k video is the one that is uploaded to the cloud for processing.

Same phone as every other company. Minuscule differences for $1300+ every year!
It looks like a subscription to software updates rather than any actual physical innovations AND software innovations.

Pixel gets more hate than iPhone.... 😅

[DJ-ruim]

You can shoot at 4k with Videoboost on. The preview video, while the videoboosted version is being processed in the cloud, is downgraded to 1080p. So, that part of your video is incorrect. Furthermore, the 4k video can then be videoboosted to 8k.

It's night time photography is way better than my iPhone. What are you even saying. You may not like the contrasty look of the photos it produces but generelising it and saying it's bad at night time shows you are better off as a headphone reviewer!

Aaron X Loud and Wireless, This made me so happy! I liked and subscribed!

[MrChadLedford]

Why all the hate? Coming from a iphone 15 pm i find the pixeluch smarter and more enjoyable day to day.

[CruzJM]

Hey Aaron nice video. are the speakers better than the 8 pro?

[jimmoefoe]

Hi Aaron, did you have to pay sales tax or GST for this phone in Singapore?

[NizarNoor]

Even without the so-called gimmicks, the clean Android UI and helpful smart features are worth the money. Oh and the photography prowess.

[VolumetricTerrain-hzci]

I like your video!

I have a proposal, on how to get pixels with continuous color resolution.

It is possible to divide each respective 3 pixels into four color components (sub pixels), for example:

The first pixel has the order RGBR, the second has GBRG, and the third has BRGB, and so on.

That way, the pixels can have two colors at the same time!

Nice background music at beginning of video.
(most channels on YT are bad for people listening with earbuds)
Welp... Thanks for your point of view.

One previous video of yours turned me into VR direction. Waiting on quest 3 atm (money not spend on buds 3 pro from Samsung 😂 )

[Viclief]

Thanks Aaron, useful review. I do not plan to buy any new phone, I do like to keep up to date on new ones. Your reviews are through the years one of the sources that i use. Honest and clear.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is perfect for me, i just want a pretty phone to use daily for simple tasks not for playing games, i need all day battery and the pixel 9 pro XL lasts me all day, it's perfect, I can't find any faults, if i find a fault I'll return the phone.

[MountBaldyBrewing]

Did they improve the wireless radio (NOT the cellular radio) ? I have a pixel 8 pro and the wireless radio drops consistently when I roam between access points.

Hi Aaron, I'm a follower of your channel. Could you create an equalization profile for the Sony WH-CH720N? I liked the custom EQ you did with the Sony LinkBuds S.

[joshualebowitz]

Why is the video of your night walk jumping so much? Appreciate your work.

[newfnshow]

these sounds tests are pointless we can't tell the difference after YouTube compression. Please consider skipping this and just give your opinion. I never learn anything bc I just play it and ask our opinion and we can't even tell the difference. Just give YOUR opinion. It is YOUR channel.

Have you tried doing a sound Comparison using one brand of earbuds, but using different brands of Phone, like iphone, Samsung, Pixel, Vivo, Sony.... etc.? I wonder what would the frequency Response of each phone brands and which sounds the best. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
