The temperature sensor is really handy with small kids. Being able to take their temperature on the fly and having timestamped logs of past reads has been so useful when speaking with doctors over the phone.
@@MikeOBrienMediayeah I noticed too from watching some content creators, they dispose temperature camera so fast. While me as a parent think that’s actually brilliant.
I've never reached 128gb of storage. I always end up upgrading phones within the same year. 😂 But you should check out one the plus 12. I have this phone for about 6momths. The longest I've had a phone in 3-4 years
6:12 The audio is so good in this recording, with that little bit of reverb. At least when heard from my headphones. Always enjoy the testing and contrast in your videos.
Normally I watch hardware previews and reviews on hardware on Dave2D or MKBHD videos, but this time you were my first and until now only review on the new pixels. In-depth but not too much, great work as always!
There's tons of uses to the temperature function, it's probably one of the features people actually need. Whether you're cooking, checking the temperature of your child or your pet, making soap or candles.... It's also perfect for people who have plants in their houses and want them to thrive.
My wife loves to screenshot funny memes and pictures but always forget the site she took them at. This could be useful for her since it allows you to go back to where you took the screenshot
The reason for me to go for the Pixel 9 Pro XL over the Pixel 9 Pro is charge speed. The Pro XL charges considerably faster than the smaller phone. The 70% in 30 minutes you mentioned in the video only applies to the bigger phone. Coming from a OnePlus 9 Pro, the slower charge speed is very noticeable as is.
This was a great review!! Can you do a more Extensive camera and especially video review and comparison between Iphone and Samsung? I would like to see video boost include it as well!
can reviewer stop taking videos of green lands and sky for test. Come on normal users usually care more on group photos and human skin tone are the hardest to make it right. compare more on portrait , selfies, group photos rather than saying "the tree has great dynamic range".
Yeah I totally agree I don't take pictures of trees a lot mostly of friends and family and we're together and we're doing something You're totally right
I'm curious about a comparison for the Pixel9 to the S24 and the Pixel 9 Pro to the S24 Ultra. I have been using Pixel for a few years now and am very happy with it. But this year it kinda feels like besides some gimmicks with AI and the camera that I won't use, the S24 just seems like a better deal. But in the end of the video you said, that while using the S24 Ultra before, you are considering switching to the Pixel 9 Pro now. So I'm really curious about your run down of the differences and preferences.
In my experience the pixel is better when it comes to camera and over all the software is much better. Galaxy animations aren’t nearly as smooth and there’s a ton of bloat downloaded on the phone I think the total of gibs it takes right off the bat is almost double what the pixel is. I also think simple things like the widgets are better looking and pixels haptics are better as well. The feed back when you’re typing or changing the brightness. Things like that. Samsung has better hardware tho and more customization. I also think this year atleast the pixel 9 looks better and also you can get the pro phone in a smaller size which isn’t an option on Samsung
Can confirm S24 is a good phone. But pixels are more satisfying to use. Especially haptics. You will miss song identifying. If you are an everyday user choose pixel. If you are a power user and use this for work then choose Samsung
Google should have made the Tensor chip more powerful due to 7 years of software updates and gave the Pixel 9 Series larger and faster storage capacities at these prices.
Google knows that their cameras on their regular Pixel phones are their bread and butter so they're not gonna put it on their Fold phones on purpose. They should tho at that price point. Great review overall, better than most as you brought up a lot of great points. I usually like bigger phones but I'm actually more interested in the smaller Pro just like you. Having the S22U then the Pixel Fold and recently the Z Fold 6 made we realized that I like smaller phones as I could use it with one hand which I much appreciate.
I'm regards to gaming, the Pixel 9 Pro handles Genshin Impact at max settings quite nicely. Very smooth gameplay. I also have an iPhone 15 pro max and the performance is actually quite similar, if not the same.
Hey Mike thanks for the review I would really like to see a comparison against the Pixel 8 pro as if the cameras are the same does it take the same kind of pictures and is it really an upgrade from other reviewers it seems like the tensor 4 is just a hair bit better than the tensor 3. I really don't care about metrics but I had the pixel 8 for a little while and it just would overheat at times for me in the signal would drop and so I'm just wondering if they fix that and whether the new modem is actually a lot better than the modem that was in the pixel 8
Hey mike! great review. Just a small suggestion. Next time whenever u review an android flagship please try to include a social media test. most people choose iphones over android because of the inconsistency when it comes to using an android device for posting content on social media. especially instagram stories and snapchat. i only know that google and samsung has the instagram api that is optimized for its own devices to perform better than other android devices. Uhmm so in case u review another device in the future please look into social media performances too. Cheers !
Great video. I think the 9fold has inferior camera array to the 9pro/9pro XL, so likely the photos and videos would be better on the pro/pro xl. Additionally, the 9 fold doesnt have a vapour chamber too.
Not sure it was mentioned but the pixel 9 pro phones have one if not the brightest screen with 3000 nits peak brightness. I went to the shop to compare it with my iphone 15 pro max, and boy, no comparison there.
Never used an iPhone in my life (nor will I). Was so hyped cause Pixel is finally coming to Nordic Europe, but nah. I'd be okay with less power but they've gone nuts with AI instead and the lag seems pretty bad because they've dedicated so much of it to AI. Not really sure whether to buy a new phone or just stick with the one I have. Samsung and OnePlus are huge here and it's a big market too, so saying this is mainly for users who come from an iPhone isn't exactly true. Pixel phones haven't been available here officially until now, and there are a lot of people who've been wanting one for ages. Such a shame this is the model we are first introduced to though.
Hi from 🇸🇪! After watching a bunch of review videos om starting to second guess if I should get the pixel 9Pro or go with the OnePlus 12 instead? What do you think😅
@@mikaela3619 I honestly can't answer that for you. Which device are you using now? A lot of people complain about stuttering with basic tasks, like browsing especially if you're coming from a Galaxy device it's very noticable. I am not even sure what to get myself right now cause all the flagships have some issue that I can't overlook..
I was thinking the same -- video was pretty bad in how jittery it was when panning, and how broken up the zoom levels are. Video Boost is supposed to help with smoothing out video, so hopefully that rings true.
@@AaronLaye it helps a bit, but those files come back extra large bro. If you're dead set on grabbing the phone, then go for 500 gigs because 128 is nothing, I'm already 14 gigs away from max storage.
I miss plastic backs, lighter, doesn't shatter , removable so sim doesn't need a tray, possibly even removable battery. Instead of the "premium feel" gimmick to make more money on replacement or repair.
See this is what Samsung is lacking and why I left for iPhone. They had it right when they made the note 10 and 10 plus. The S22 plus and on should’ve been the ultra in a smaller version. The S24 plus should be a scaled down version of the ultra with the s pen and all if not most of the same features. Obviously smaller battery and screen, possibly camera but everything else identical. Pixel 9 pro is the ideal size over the XL for me and most people I know. Good work Google
This sort of practice is happening everywhere sadly. Like you buy the best version of today. But next year they come out with a new trim and now your once top tier trim now has less features but still have the same price tag, and the new trim now gets a free price bump. Such a greedy and bogus practice honestly.
You’re gonna anger some Google Fanboys with that insight. I pointed out the lag on Pocketnow’s review of the Pixel Watch 3 that was caught in slow motion (he had to double swipe because the first swipe didn’t register) and I got some comments ranging from “oh the 30hz energy saver was probably on” to straight up denial (once again it was caught in slow motion).
For the record, I received no compensation for this video whatsoever. If it was a sponsored video, I would disclose that. Regarding the transition between lenses, I was just happy the color and general appearance of the media was similar when transitioning. I totally understand where you're coming from though. It's nothing like a continuous zoom you would experience with one variable lens
@@MikeOBrienMedia You may not have been compensated but you were sent these phones before release and most likely didn't pay for them. That makes you inhernetly bias. Did you pay for them? Were they sent to you before general release?
I really dont get the hype around pixel software and ui, with this solid colors material ui with 0 transparency colors anywhere looks so dated to me its nuts. I really really like samsung ui and even ios much more than this. On the fluidity side i dont think i have a lagging phone, certainly not the 15 pro and the s24 ultra. Everyone is like google invented fluidity and all others software is laggy and bad when in fact both my phones feels as fast and fluid and a lot more fluid when switching between cameras or do camera shots in quick succession. In fact my friend's pixel 9 pro is so bad when u try to take fast photos one after another and definitely a lot slower to export high quality photos and videos. I really dont get the hype around these.
Hello, I was wondering if It's possible to capture 4K60 video with 10-bit HDR enabled on the Rear Lens? The Pixel 8 Pro can only take HDR videos with 30 fps and I was wondering if it's changed on the newer phones.
Imagine when Pixel and Pixel 2 launched, their photography disrupted the industry. Now 6-7 generations later, they are nothing special. We have Vivo and Oppo on the hardware breakthroughs, iPhones with class leading videos and Samsung with overall good package even if nothing is class leading. Google needs to step up, specially at this price tag.
I don't know how people want boxy sides on their phone and say "it feels nice". These people should tell carmakers why they don't start steering wheels like this so it would feel better to use them lol This is obivously a bad move and the fact they copied this from iPhone is sad. These phones just feel much worse that Pixel 5 for example with smooth edges. That phone handles much better.
Please, content creators, if you don't use something it doesn't mean that is a gimick. I use temp sensor all the time, I would like Samsung to add this too. Good video, but, please, focus more on WHAT PHONE GIVES and not if you use it or not, you review phones FOR OTHER PEOPLE not for you as an audience.
Does anyone know if the Pixel 9 Pro having 16GB of RAM means it is more likely to use more battery than the Pixel 9 base model? And if so, how significant would that be?
I don't care about any app. All I want from a phone is to be fast, take the best photos, and if possible to not be the size of a tablet. I already have all the apps I need. Too bad there is no improvement on the photo, and the phone is not the fastest. If the phone is a little bit slower in certain situations now, imagine how much worse will be in 4-5 years. My last phone that I am now looking to replace is 7 yo and it is a Note 8. The reason I am looking to Pixel 9 pro, is because the latest Note devices are really big.
Same here I am very tempted to get the pixel 9 pro but I have been watching the reviews and it looks like the tensor 4 is not much better than the tensor 3. I have the regular Pixel 8 for a little while but I ended up selling it cuz it would just get really hot when I was using it and sometimes the signal would drop but besides that I really like the phone camera was great speech to text was great to Google features really good but I'm going to wait for the P10 on this one
Let me get this straight, you're looking at a phone whose whole schtick is the Gemini app and how well integrated it is to the phone, and you say you don't care about any app😂🤦
@@medraut6599 yes. I do not care about any AI. If there was an S24 with S24 camera module, I would be looking at that. I want top tier camera, android if possible because apple turns everything else in to shit, and a smaller size phone. Do you have any recommendation aside S9 and iPhone pro?
Thank FK Mike, I thought you were gunna slate it and I've pre-ordered it, but I'm upgrading from a Pixel 6 Pro, literally can't wait (and your sister is beautiful) also I'd love to see a Xiaomi Watch Pro 2 review, because it's a Smart watch that actually looks like a traditional watch, I might just buy it anyway as it's mega cheap, but I don't know if it's better than my Samsung 42mm
I am guessing that the debate over Apple iPhones being more privacy focused is over or people just don't care anymore? Maybe Big Brother has finally just wore us all down?
There's one HUGE con you left out. The Google proprietary CPU chip Tensor G4 which on a good day is equivalent to a 2 year old Snapdragon 8 gen 1. That's a deal breaker for me.
Indeed, creators tend to avoid this issue. Initially, the Pixel's pricing reflected its less advanced chip, but now, with prices comparable to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, having a subpar chip is unjustifiable. It raises the question of why reviewers overlook this aspect.
I can save pictures view as previewed but videos are in opposite side if I put up my left hand in front facing video it shows that I have right hand up
After the one year of Gemini advanced, all the features will be locked behind a paywall and the phone will just be nothing more than a lackluster phone if I don't want to pay $20 a month for Gemini?
None of the pixel exclusive features have been locked behind Gemini Advance so far. They haven't mentioned any feature being locked besides Gemini Live. Why would they lock features now, especially when there were no mention of them being Gemini Advance feature? Lawyers would have a good time suing Google for false advertisement.
@@BananaBlooD9517@BananaBlooD9517 The on-device AI will not be behind a paywall for clear reasons. However, applications like Studio, which require data from cloud servers, will likely be subject to existing fees. Access to cloud-based services, such as video enhancements, will necessitate payment. Cloud usage is exclusively available for a charge.
I think with RCS coming to iPhone...they think have have a good shot at getting people to jump over from iOS...so that's why they went with an iPhone like design
Correction: ***1 Year with Gemini Advanced, not 2. Oops

In my experience the pixel is better when it comes to camera and over all the software is much better. Galaxy animations aren’t nearly as smooth and there’s a ton of bloat downloaded on the phone I think the total of gibs it takes right off the bat is almost double what the pixel is.

Can confirm S24 is a good phone. But pixels are more satisfying to use. Especially haptics. You will miss song identifying.
If you are an everyday user choose pixel. If you are a power user and use this for work then choose Samsung
Just an FYI: I think we've heard enough about how great the damn camera is. Can we discuss other things?

Wow photos have that oversharpened look...plus still no burst photo mode
Mike, Mike, Mike, Guess what day it is?!?!?! That's right, it's Mike's video day 😁
what s your pixel watch size ？
Personally. It's Outrageous for Google to charge for Gemini after a period of time. Their products are Already becoming quite expensive in England.
Does anyone know if the Pixel 9 Pro having 16GB of RAM means it is more likely to use more battery than the Pixel 9 base model? And if so, how significant would that be?
I don't care about any app. All I want from a phone is to be fast, take the best photos, and if possible to not be the size of a tablet. I already have all the apps I need. Too bad there is no improvement on the photo, and the phone is not the fastest. If the phone is a little bit slower in certain situations now, imagine how much worse will be in 4-5 years. My last phone that I am now looking to replace is 7 yo and it is a Note 8. The reason I am looking to Pixel 9 pro, is because the latest Note devices are really big.
Same here I am very tempted to get the pixel 9 pro but I have been watching the reviews and it looks like the tensor 4 is not much better than the tensor 3. I have the regular Pixel 8 for a little while but I ended up selling it cuz it would just get really hot when I was using it and sometimes the signal would drop but besides that I really like the phone camera was great speech to text was great to Google features really good but I'm going to wait for the P10 on this one
Let me get this straight, you're looking at a phone whose whole schtick is the Gemini app and how well integrated it is to the phone, and you say you don't care about any app😂🤦
@@medraut6599 yes. I do not care about any AI. If there was an S24 with S24 camera module, I would be looking at that. I want top tier camera, android if possible because apple turns everything else in to shit, and a smaller size phone. Do you have any recommendation aside S9 and iPhone pro?
Nice video
Dude! Is Nate O'Brien your brother??! You sound like him! 😅
Android is "Apple-ing" that whole magsafe thing, they'll eventually relent...both Google and Samsung..
The temperature sensor is like the flash you forget it there until you need
My music alarm didn't go off the very first morning after I got it, so I returned it
Thank FK Mike, I thought you were gunna slate it and I've pre-ordered it, but I'm upgrading from a Pixel 6 Pro, literally can't wait (and your sister is beautiful)
also I'd love to see a Xiaomi Watch Pro 2 review, because it's a Smart watch that actually looks like a traditional watch, I might just buy it anyway as it's mega cheap, but I don't know if it's better than my Samsung 42mm
Hi great video would my watch ultra galaxy, work with the pixel.
Does it have 3 button nav as an option?
Yes it does in the display settings
People still use that?
I am guessing that the debate over Apple iPhones being more privacy focused is over or people just don't care anymore? Maybe Big Brother has finally just wore us all down?
We told them we were tired with curved screen so they gave us flat screen and people criticize that again.
There's one HUGE con you left out. The Google proprietary CPU chip Tensor G4 which on a good day is equivalent to a 2 year old Snapdragon 8 gen 1. That's a deal breaker for me.
Indeed, creators tend to avoid this issue. Initially, the Pixel's pricing reflected its less advanced chip, but now, with prices comparable to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, having a subpar chip is unjustifiable. It raises the question of why reviewers overlook this aspect.
I can save pictures view as previewed but videos are in opposite side if I put up my left hand in front facing video it shows that I have right hand up
Will probably use the screenshot app for screenshots of sports betting slips
After the one year of Gemini advanced, all the features will be locked behind a paywall and the phone will just be nothing more than a lackluster phone if I don't want to pay $20 a month for Gemini?
None of the pixel exclusive features have been locked behind Gemini Advance so far. They haven't mentioned any feature being locked besides Gemini Live.
Why would they lock features now, especially when there were no mention of them being Gemini Advance feature? Lawyers would have a good time suing Google for false advertisement.
@@BananaBlooD9517@BananaBlooD9517 The on-device AI will not be behind a paywall for clear reasons. However, applications like Studio, which require data from cloud servers, will likely be subject to existing fees. Access to cloud-based services, such as video enhancements, will necessitate payment. Cloud usage is exclusively available for a charge.
When is Pixel Watch 3 review coming?
In case you missed it, I did make a first impressions video!
For the full review, it'll be another week or so until I have all my data collected
@@MikeOBrienMedia Yes I saw that. However waiting for the review to pre order it.
Philadelphia 😎
The complimentary Google one and Gemini is one year not 2 years
If I wanted and iPhone looking phone... I would buy an iPhone 😅 why is everyone copying apple!!!
Look, a rectangular phone, why is everyone copying Apple?
@@dibidibadibidibou wooow you must be blind lol 🤣
I think with RCS coming to iPhone...they think have have a good shot at getting people to jump over from iOS...so that's why they went with an iPhone like design
Cool phone but its only a minor upgrade.
It's crazy to charge for ability to call emergency. That should be illegal
The lense transition wasn’t smooth honestly
I dont know if some notice it in 5:09 there is something wrong it the video its moving ( not stability )
