I just remembered the 'Flip to shh' feature being in a Pixel 3 commercial...
Damn... Miss those coloured power buttons

Is it only me that is really struggling to get excited about all the AI shenanigans on the pixel. It seems to be pretty much it's only selling point while my S22 ultra still wipes the floor on everything else. Most of this fluff is only free for the first year anyway.

Every time you said "clear calling" it sounded like clear colon lol

[kyle]

Can you make a video of the difference between the base model and pro model?

[MRJLS]

Heck yes friend, always look forward to your reviews. I'm torn on XL or just standard.

What is strange is Pixel studio doesn't recognize cannabis but you can show me a beer with a rose plant on top.. 😂😂

[MadMike]

Loving the death row tee shirt you have on...may be you should send it to mr corden?

[YM_]

Great review mate.does the WiFi & Bluetooth toggle still require double tap for on & off?

[mike.]

The leaves are starting to change colors. Autumn is coming early.

[timypeg]

😂😂 As a middlesbrough man, I can certainly relate to this video

[TheBismrk]

I guess google cares enough about their phones to make Uncle Spurt beep out all his cussing.

[SolomonWu-te]

What do you think about 128 GB of pixel 9 Pro XL ?

[lespzzli]

9:16 my pixel 9 pro xl doesn't have that reimagine feature, there is nowhere to type.
