I have been on the beach for 4 days and my pixel 9 pro XL does not dim nor overheat. It is 87 degrees and sunny and the pixel is great for watching videos (like this one) on the beach. My 16 pro Max display is far less vibrant to my eye. The pixel is just such a fun phone. So glad I switched

I am an android person. But I believe in being happy at what your purchased. The clear winner is whatever phone you buy. Pictures and videos just look the same to me. Most people are casual user. Only difference is what operating system you like to use the most. To me the battle is between Samsung and Google. I chose Samsung just because of better battery life and more powerful chip. For my wants and needs, the better value is samsung.

And the winner is? Once again, more clickbait, more "up to you" and nonsense like that. Stop trying to please everyone just give your opinion ffs.

These gadgets should be classified as cameras with phone capabilities, given that nearly all reviewers focus on the cameras, while almost no one even evaluates call quality.

Pixel's color accuracy is unmatched. I tried the iPhone's Photographic Styles, but they just can't compete. The pics on my iPhone 16 Pro while they do look very detailed since they are stored at 24mp vs 12mp on the Pixel. They also look very over-sharpen. The best point and shoot and post camera is definitely the Pixel. No need to add any gloried filters.

My Pixel 9 Pro XL just works.
I have been using it for 2 months and couldn't find one negative thing to say about it, i always look for negative points so i can sell it and try another phone, with the arrival of Android 15 since October 15
It's been pretty clean, there's no bugs for me, battery lasts even longer now. 😄

I'm an iPhone user for 10 years and now I switched to Pixel 9 pro xl for the first time in my life to use Android. Gemini app is available on iPhone and you can use it same way as in Pixel so you will not miss this part if you go with iPhone. I feel my pixel is not as smooth as in my previous iPhone 11 but I bought it because I just want to try something different from iPhone. I'm still not sure if I will keep it or return it. I like the camera and it's features. I don't like that my pixel fingerprint is not working 90% of the time. FaceID is not working in the dark compared to my iPhone11. Overall is a good phone that I can rate it as 3 ⭐ out of 5.

I'm an iPhone die hard user but the dynamic range on google pixels is insane 🔥

I bought my 9 pro xl for 795 dollars in my country. And the iPhone 16 pro Max is 1663 dollars... The pixel all day. And i love every single day its in my pocket and i can shoot awesome pictures of my kids every time.

I'd like to see an analysis comparing the AI features of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Friendly and genuine constructive feedback for you... add timestamps to your video, so that people can skip to the part that is relevant to them.

I hate how they are compared by If you are a gamer get a gaming phone.... Other then that course the one that best suits you. I have the fold I live being able to read my docs pdf word on a bigger screen.... So I love the fold. If gaming is a huge concern GET A GAMING PHONE

You never mentioned the front camera! Kind of important. 12mp iPhone vs 48 pixel. What’s that about ?

[ricoyou]

What⚠️ a Biased review! Start⚠️ saying Pixel 9 PRO XL is not "supersfast" like the iPhone? So what is "superfast" real reviewers talk about every daily tasks and all confirm works perfectly! Then you this Pixel might "throttle" and "overheat" again after testing since launch this is not issue! You are just throwing rocks at it. Best move I ever made was trading in iPhone 15 PRO Max and got a Pixel 9 PRO Xl 512gb....does everything so smoothly and so efficiently, comes with AI which I use daily and its just such a fun phone!

It still blows me away that people would play extensive games on phones.

[YazaAlkhammash]

The video title is wrong, spouse to be: an apple fanboy comparing an iphone with a pixel phone.

[GenerationalWealthBuilderNOLA]

Excellent video … answered the exact question I had … helped me make my decision… Thanks

[EllEmm]

🤔, so when it comes to video "iPhone is 👑"; whereas when it comes to pictures "Pixels are real good amongst the rest"! Why not crown it like you did with the iPhone in their respective departments LoL

[benoseitutu]

To me the 16PM should of been what the 15 was coming from 14PM that jump would of been amazing tbh love pixel but 16PM for me but s24U or even the s25 may he a different story

[JasperStaal]

I like your theme on the P9, whats that + wallpaper? I've got both a pixel 9 pro now and an iphone 15pro and its IMPOSSIBLE to choose for me. They're both great in different ways.
