That being said, I do miss Android from time to time for simple things like a back button that ALWAYS works to go back a step instead of having to figure out which gesture I need not only in the app I am in but the specific screen of said app. :P But I digress... I was very tempted to go back to Pixel this time around. I knew the Benchmarks were terrible but wanted to get hands on one. I tried a network speed test with no wifi in store and it was terrible on the pixel! Like 130 MBPS down and 3 MBPX up lol. I tried to compare it to an S24 ultra and network speeds blew it out of the water. Even with the terrible hardware benchmark AND network speed test, I was still slightly tempted by the Pixel allure. Then came the news that the advanced AI that is THE ONE REASON TO GET A PIXEL will cost $20 a month subscription fee after the free year. LOL lamest thing I have ever heard. I pre ordered the iphone 16 pro max. Will Apple AI be better? hope so. It will be free :P if Apple AI sucks and Pixel improves on hardware speeds, network speed, and doesn't charge for the primary feature it is touting (AI) I may try them on Pixel 10
I agree with everything you've just said. I myself am very upset with every single content creator for not calling Google out on charging for their AI when it's a Google Pixel phone. If you're gonna have a pixel phone, it should have everything like that free, isn't that the point?

iphone user here but before i was an android user for years huawei.samsung,sony, but my last android phone was a google pixel 2 XL if i ever go back to android after i tried various brands it would be google pixel again really good camera solid software updates just happy all around.
I feel like the difference between light apps doesn’t matter anymore. The processors on phones nowadays can instantly process those apps to the point where the difference of opening time is going to be less than a second between any phone and can result from factors like internet connectivity, app optimization, animations, and not opening the apps at the exact same time even if it looks like it is - we’re humans after all not machines. The real difference is going to show in heavy workloads. Apps and games that take a lot of processing to open or to use.
being a pixel user its so addictive device bro... benchmarks only a number for gamers .... thankfuly there is no ios restrictions i can do whatever i want with my device
I wish they would make the camera placements of iphone symetrical kinda like the pixel in the future. The iphone 16 and 16 plus have the better design between the pro models.
I feel like scrolling should be right in between iPhone and Android scrolling. The iPhone one is too slow and the Android is nice because you don't have to move your finger much but reducing the speed would give more precision
random thought, since you do so many speed tests, maybe you should do a speed test of two phones of the same model like iPhone 15 vs iPhone 15 as a control 🤔

The next video I really want to see is the regular 16 vs pixel 9 (I need to decide between the base phones). It would also be interesting to see if pixel finally caught up on the base models or not. Nick pls if have time make this speed test
I'm surprised by Pixel 9 pro XL's performance against the iPhone 16pm. The pixel 9 series is by far the most improved pixel made by Google. The pixel 10 with the TSMC made Tensor G5 will be a beast and true contender.
@@honestygbedzige9124 it’s also going to cost more than the 17 Pro Max at this point. Pixels have caught up to iPhones in price which was the big selling point in the past. Especially since Pixel’s value drops like a rock over a year.

Where are leaks about g5 made by tsmc? Then may be price will also increase. I don’t know how g4 a copy of Exynos 2400 even have much less scores? It’s something has to do with google chip design, so foundry changes will not improve much.😮
You're right. This is the first pixel series to impress me. The performance is alright, not much throttling issues and improved battery life. If this is prolonged, then pixel could really be a true contender and not just a camera phone. Can't wait to see how the pixel 10 with TSMC chip do
It’s a tough choice because I want the best possible performance in both photos and videos on a smartphone. However, everywhere I turn, people keep telling me that the iPhone is the king of video, while the Pixel is the king of photography. It’s frustrating. Why isn’t there a device that excels at both, outperforming everyone else? It feels like each brand is perfecting only one area, leaving consumers like me having to compromise when what we really want is an all-in-one solution.
Quick question, have you gone to develoeor settings on the pixel and changed the animation speed to 0.5 ? Pixels by default have a very slow animations which is completely different to loading speed of an app. Woudl love to see a comparions with and without the animation speed difference. Also i agree games prob are not a good comparison because its dependant on how well the developer has optimised it. Apple will always have great optimisation but android will always be a slower process based on market share of phones.
I don't know. Shouldn't we wait for speed test until after October knowing that a major update is coming and was intended always for the 16 pro max ? I know Apple was goofy for not releasing the phone with the AI features, but the phone is like 2. 3's finished because of that to me.
Make the same test with a 3 year old iphone and a 3 year old pixel, we will see how both perform with the latest software installed, an iphone 13 Pro Max runs ios 18 almost as fast as the 16 Pro Max, the longevity of an iphone has nothing to do with the amount of ram, stop spreading false informations! Apple has the best software support, period. Theres a reason why iphones have the better resell value..
15:14 not sure if we need a Snapdragon in the Pixel, as the Pixel Experience generally relies on the Tensor architecture. but, i do think that the next Tensor should bump up its performance and i think Google knows that, with transfering its manufacturing over to TSMC
I'm more interested in seeing what google is going to do with a fully custom chip manufactured by tsmc next year vs having a snapdragon. Who knows it could be better than snapdragon
A good performance from pixel there. Nick i have a question relating to the internet speed of smartphones in general which is "when there is a website traffic which phone is the best at handling such situation. I mean loading the site faster.
Faster and more powerful processors isn’t just useful for outright performance and computing power but also somewhat dictates how the device will hold up over the years and how long will it perform well which the pixels are notorious for. If I’m paying over a thousand dollars for a phone it better last for at least 5-6 years
Why are Apple devices superior in speed and smoothness, especially when it comes to games? It is surprising that there are excellent devices with the most powerful processors, but they do not outperform Apple devices! Where is the problem?
Signal drops have improved over the 7 and 8 but the heat stays well controlled after initial setup and phone has adapted although under extended use multitasking and gaming, I'd feel i need to slap a case on it in those scenarios
Never liked the scrolling experience on android phones, I don’t know but scrolling on an iPhone just feels much more satisfying and realistic 😅 Same is the story with the overall animations on both of them
Are you opening the calendar app on 2 phones who have completely different app and then comparing the speed? Are you okey in your head? Are you sure you are not slow?
I think doing the speed test in this day in age is kind of pointless any flagship phone after 2022 is pretty much the same thing there's alot of upgrades when it comes to camera and screen brightness maybe the feel in the hand
I don't know why I don't even think about buying an iphone till now.... currently I'm using S21Fe and I'm thinking about upgrading to Pixel 9 but I couldn't even think about Iphone 16...
Lol you sound painful to say the iPhone wins, but when the Pixel slacks a little you have some sort of excuse saying “oh it could be due to this or that” 🤦🏽♂️
Pixel did an excellent job with the 9 series. But I can’t understand how, despite having stock Android, they still have such a terrible battery. If you leave the phone idle overnight at 100% battery, it will drop to around 60%. That’s a really bad move by Google. On top of having such a poor battery that drains very quickly, they couldn’t even make up for it with a fast charger. No, instead, alongside the rapid battery drain, you get slow charging. Is there anything worse? I’m currently considering getting the Honor Magic 6 Pro or the iPhone 16 Pro for now and waiting for the Pixel 10. But the 9 Pro doesn’t appeal to me at all due to its battery issues and excessive heating.
I had Pixels 1-5 and then I jumped ship and got iPhone 13 Pro & 14 Pro. iOS is just not as good and not as user friendly. The keyboard sucks, and the notification system is annoying to live with. Now I cannot wait to go back to Android and get Pixel 9 Pro. I don't like big phones.

Where are leaks about g5 made by tsmc? Then may be price will also increase. I don’t know how g4 a copy of Exynos 2400 even have much less scores? It’s something has to do with google chip design, so foundry changes will not improve much.😮
You're right. This is the first pixel series to impress me. The performance is alright, not much throttling issues and improved battery life. If this is prolonged, then pixel could really be a true contender and not just a camera phone. Can't wait to see how the pixel 10 with TSMC chip do
It’s a tough choice because I want the best possible performance in both photos and videos on a smartphone. However, everywhere I turn, people keep telling me that the iPhone is the king of video, while the Pixel is the king of photography. It’s frustrating.
Why isn’t there a device that excels at both, outperforming everyone else? It feels like each brand is perfecting only one area, leaving consumers like me having to compromise when what we really want is an all-in-one solution.
For pubg, pixel was downloading something from the internet
Quick question, have you gone to develoeor settings on the pixel and changed the animation speed to 0.5 ? Pixels by default have a very slow animations which is completely different to loading speed of an app. Woudl love to see a comparions with and without the animation speed difference. Also i agree games prob are not a good comparison because its dependant on how well the developer has optimised it. Apple will always have great optimisation but android will always be a slower process based on market share of phones.
I don't know. Shouldn't we wait for speed test until after October knowing that a major update is coming and was intended always for the 16 pro max ? I know Apple was goofy for not releasing the phone with the AI features, but the phone is like 2. 3's finished because of that to me.
I will run some back with that update
The iPhone interface is incomparable
Make the same test with a 3 year old iphone and a 3 year old pixel, we will see how both perform with the latest software installed, an iphone 13 Pro Max runs ios 18 almost as fast as the 16 Pro Max, the longevity of an iphone has nothing to do with the amount of ram, stop spreading false informations! Apple has the best software support, period. Theres a reason why iphones have the better resell value..
Seems like they have you in a chokehold.
Why are you so triggered lol??
15:14 not sure if we need a Snapdragon in the Pixel, as the Pixel Experience generally relies on the Tensor architecture. but, i do think that the next Tensor should bump up its performance and i think Google knows that, with transfering its manufacturing over to TSMC
Pixel rom is the besf os
Even better than one ui
Soon it's just the router that makes the speed difference.
Only compare games not apps.. It’s all about Internet so don’t compare Social Media Apps
This is not a gaming test
wait till ios 18 gets an optimization update💀
If your sensitive to it, you can clearly see micro stuttering on the pixel. Same for latest Samsungs.
Pixel would be the only smartphone i have not used for now. I had iPhones and now since years already Samsung and quite happy with it.
I'm more interested in seeing what google is going to do with a fully custom chip manufactured by tsmc next year vs having a snapdragon. Who knows it could be better than snapdragon
A good performance from pixel there.
Nick i have a question relating to the internet speed of smartphones in general which is "when there is a website traffic which phone is the best at handling such situation. I mean loading the site faster.
Excellent video
In some of apps you are wrong
Right is faster but you say left
I think you tend to say iphone is faster
Faster and more powerful processors isn’t just useful for outright performance and computing power but also somewhat dictates how the device will hold up over the years and how long will it perform well which the pixels are notorious for. If I’m paying over a thousand dollars for a phone it better last for at least 5-6 years
13:51 That black bar on the bottom kinna ruined the experience
@@sam80000 most of Androids have that.
Why are Apple devices superior in speed and smoothness, especially when it comes to games? It is surprising that there are excellent devices with the most powerful processors, but they do not outperform Apple devices! Where is the problem?
Nick what is your experience with pixel's overheating and signal drops ?
Signal drops have improved over the 7 and 8 but the heat stays well controlled after initial setup and phone has adapted although under extended use multitasking and gaming, I'd feel i need to slap a case on it in those scenarios
Android slows down as years pass by, Iphone does not.
ive been with iPhone for years, iPhone does the same exact thing, every iPhone I ever had ends up slowing down over time.
Skipping Google's offering this go around. Going to need them to upgrade from the G4.
I had iPhone 16 pro max
Never liked the scrolling experience on android phones, I don’t know but scrolling on an iPhone just feels much more satisfying and realistic 😅
Same is the story with the overall animations on both of them
LOL. Why is Pixel copying the iPhone design?
Look at the home screens. All the app icons on the pixel have the app names truncated …. While the iPhone the app names are almost all complete.
Are you opening the calendar app on 2 phones who have completely different app and then comparing the speed? Are you okey in your head? Are you sure you are not slow?
I think doing the speed test in this day in age is kind of pointless any flagship phone after 2022 is pretty much the same thing there's alot of upgrades when it comes to camera and screen brightness maybe the feel in the hand
That’s fine, thanks for sharing :)
I don't know why I don't even think about buying an iphone till now.... currently I'm using S21Fe and I'm thinking about upgrading to Pixel 9 but I couldn't even think about Iphone 16...
Lol you sound painful to say the iPhone wins, but when the Pixel slacks a little you have some sort of excuse saying “oh it could be due to this or that” 🤦🏽♂️
Pixel did an excellent job with the 9 series. But I can’t understand how, despite having stock Android, they still have such a terrible battery. If you leave the phone idle overnight at 100% battery, it will drop to around 60%. That’s a really bad move by Google. On top of having such a poor battery that drains very quickly, they couldn’t even make up for it with a fast charger. No, instead, alongside the rapid battery drain, you get slow charging. Is there anything worse?
I’m currently considering getting the Honor Magic 6 Pro or the iPhone 16 Pro for now and waiting for the Pixel 10. But the 9 Pro doesn’t appeal to me at all due to its battery issues and excessive heating.
If you toggle on the screen sensitivity option, the fingerprint scanner will stay visible when phone is locked.
The 16 Pro Max has awful ergonomics and doesn’t take advantage of the extra screen real estate at all
I'm sorry Nick but until you start using a 80% Google products to produce these videos I refuse believe Pixel 9 is a better buy than iPhone.
And one more thing pixel using android 15 , it's rocking 😎 👌.
its running 14
@@codylujan you can opt in for 15 and battery is great so smooth and they updated camera 2
Hey Nick, Can you set the animation duration to 0.5x on the Pixel and redo this speed test. I feel 0.5x makes Pixel very snappy.
I had Pixels 1-5 and then I jumped ship and got iPhone 13 Pro & 14 Pro. iOS is just not as good and not as user friendly. The keyboard sucks, and the notification system is annoying to live with. Now I cannot wait to go back to Android and get Pixel 9 Pro. I don't like big phones.
Why is your geekbench score so low ? my is single 3494 and multi 8580
The google chips can't compete with the iphone chips yet, but Samsung's slaying!
Please do a Google Pixel vs iPhone 12 or 13 pro max
I want my phone to turn back on in 5 seconds, just like my pc does.
Can we get a 16 Pro Max vs SE 3 speed test when you get a chance please?
I’m happy with iPhone, it’s so reliable but I’m kinda bored and I wanna try the Pixel 9 pro. But I tried it in store and it was so laggy I can’t…
