as an electronic technician... I am using macro cameras for determining/reading part codes on ic's and chips that are very hard to see rather than turning-on my specialized microscope in my work table. Very convenient and a must camera feature to be with on terms of our jobs as tech service repairs.
I tend to go for the larger pro versions because I use them for work. 8-12 hour shifts, and all of that is on my phone. Having a big battery life and not worrying about it dying is a huge convenience. Also, I have very large hands and when I used the iPhone 6s a few years ago, I kept messing up my typing, so once I got switched to a 14 Pro Max, I felt saved.
You haven't heard of embargoes? Early access phones usually come with contractual restrictions, including when a creator can post a review etc. Go too early and you get banned by the manufacturer. Go too late and you miss the peak interest/relevance and get lower priority in the algorithm.
I truly believe that new pixel 9 series will get the best design award of smartphone 2024. It has come with almost perfect smartphone factor with smart software features with mind blowing photography capability for the year 2024 . But only long term use can ensure this. I think 3-4 month later it will be deciding choice.
The Pixel 9 Pro really has my attention, maybe the Pro XL. Ultimately, whichever feels best in the hand, and I don't have to worry about dropping it, even with a screen protector and a case.
Those “lucky you” stickers were introduced in Apple Stores during Christmas season 2007. If you wanted to gift the iPhone to someone, you got one of those stickers and put em on the phone. A lot of people with no intention to gift the phones got them too.
My 9 Pro XL will be here tomorrow. I’m pumped. And I was given $320 back in Google Store credit for purchasing through the Google Store. All my accessories cost me zero extra dollars!
@@bobmiah Universal back gesture that you can use with your right hand and takes you out of the app is better than the iPhone. Settings in the app you are in and not having to go dig through your separate settings app is better than the iPhone. Ability to change every single aspect of the phone with launchers or even try a whole new custom OS is better than the iPhone. Call screen is a gamechanger, iPhone has nothing even close 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How is it on heat? Pixels have always seemed to get hot pretty quickly compared to other phones ive had in the past. On the other hand, Pixels have always been my favorite phones.
I loved the visor on pixel 8 series. The pixel 9 looks good but it's kinda sad that what differentiate it from samsung and apple now is only the camera bump.
i preordered the pixel 9 pro hazel 512gb in the netherlands it will come to me on september 9-12 (bought on google website) i did this to upgrade from my s21 it was time again and i like small phones i took this over the s24 ultra for its small size and i think there is more in software then hardwere with the s24 ultra you would get it and have it all but with the pixel i hope to see my device grow during my ownership
Its weird that people call the pixel 9 luxurious when the only thing changed is the design. If they went from plastic body to metal and glass then yeah, but they used these materials in the previous generations.
Tells you how much bias the "iphoney" design gets. That design gives off a premium, elegant and slick persona, that may or may not reflect the actual quality but that plays on your mind that anything else looks and feels inferior/lacking. It's crazy!
Love your shit, Lew! Pre-ordered Pixel 9 Pro in Hazel last week and pre-ordered my Latercase immediately after. Not loving the price increase but it's the best thin case on the market 😜👍
I mean it's pretty obvious the square edges are more visually attractive. And yes, that was inceptioned by Apple so I think you're on the right track with your thought process.
I think the naming is perfect, a "pro" phone can be just as big as the normal one, it just has more features, and XL is literally what it is, a bigger version. I don't agree on calling the fold neither pro, or a 9, I get why they did it but it being the 9 means you're going to release one every year to next to the regular phone which if they do it it's fine but it forces you to release one every year while I think the folding phone can be released every 2 years to make it actually better instead of a spec bump
Haven't watched unbox in years & holy cow this guy has aged. DAMN. He's not as passionate as he once was. I guess it gets boring reviewing the latest tech every year. It's a job.
@@Gorilla-0093 iPhone 16 Pro is going to shit on this. I know there is a focus on AI but I think Google went overboard on software that will be useless for most day to day users. Sure the hardware looks better but how is the battery life? How quickly does it charge? I am hearing these things are a bit of letdown with the 9 pro.
Pixel 9 base , has Google put some sort of coating on the back glass , compared to previous and other phones the back glass is a lot less slippy and even compared to the iPhone 15 which had a frosted back it's less slippy
I would've loved Pixel 9, but it costs 949 € here and I got Galaxy S24 for 699 € and it comes with a Galaxy Tab A9 LTE, which I already pre-sold to a friend of mine for 130 € so the phone ends up costing me just 570 €. The price gap is just too big, even though Google offers 150 € extra credit for the old phone. The increase in price was really big this time around.
Google Needs to work on a subscription that includes Gemini,Storage,Google Photos perks and RUclips premium in one subscription.
Welcome $50 Google subscription
@@JoshuaWebbsGemini might be worth the asking price if it did include all that
It's called Google One AI premium, it's interesting, I've been using for a month now
Apart from the youtube perk, the rest already existing under one package
Well the Gemini advanced subscription already comes with all of those except for RUclips

Macro is great for checking solder points.
@@dr0n3droid yes indeed!
The pink and green colors should be a must in any phone lineup nowadays
Just moved to the Pixel from a Samsung.. such a cleaner experience. I like the look of the 9 over the 8. Great unboxing!
I was thinking to switch from a old ass Samsung A03s to a Pixel 9 Pro I love the clean Android experience too!
It's weird how Anker is sponsoring every google 9 review video!
FR!
I said the same thing!
They're the best honestly
It's because most phones do not come with a plug anymore.... kinda silly when paying so much for top of the line product
This is bizarre, I just got my Pixel 9 Pro XL and am unboxing it with you.
I should get mine Tomorrow!
How is that bizarre, today the review embargo was up because most people started receiving their pre orders. Pretty normal timing.
I get mine tomorrow 👍
Let us know how the battery life is on XL
Get mines in 2 days
After a very long time OG Unbox Therapy is back 👊
Why, where did he go?
I personally prefer the new design of the camera bump over the old.
Same !!! The pixel 7 8 Camera design was awful af very nerdy . Glad we get rid off that
@@kevinh7597 The 6 was the ugliest of the bunch
Yeah. It's very good
@@wisetone respectfully, don't ever say that again
The pixel 9 pro for sure. Not too big for me and it has everything the 9 pro XL has but without the bigger display and battery
💯
Same here, like the Pro version.
My 9 pro arrived yest, it looks amazing in the flesh, I'm just tryin 2 c what it's capable of, made up with u so far
@@kayned47 I'm still waiting
@@kayned47 so how's your experience with Pixel after a Month?. Any thoughts about it.
I bought the Pixel 9 case. It's literally the best case I have ever used. It feels so good and it fits PERFECTLY!

Yep, normally they receive the product days, even weeks before launch, but they can not publish anything until the agreed date in their contract.
That’s the curse of embargo.
I also observe this 😂
The embargo has finished! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
My order for a pixel 9 pro xl will be arriving in the next week. I'm very excited coming from my pixel 6 😂

I was looking for a comment on reference to that 😂😂
@@mufunwamaposa956 hahaha 🤣 bro fist 👊
I love my pixel 9 pro xl in rose. Its been a couple years since ive used a pixel its good to be back with a whole new cpu I've never used.
Have to wait another four weeks for mine to arrive in the UK. Currently using the 7 pro. Cant wait
still rocking the 5. Getting the 9 on black Friday sales

Tmobile running a promotion for adding a new line and preordering the phone. Got the pro XL with upgrade to 512gb for $600 off. Amazing deal!
What did the new line cost you, $600 a year?
I upgraded from the Pixel 6a to the regular Pixel 9. The design of the Pixel 9 is awesome this year. The size is quite suitable for me.
Dang! The rosequartz color is so beautiful! 😍😍
The comparison with the iPhone design at the end hit right of the spot on why I ordered the pro xl.
Me having the pixel 7 and i personally think pixel is better than iPhone
🤣🤣🤣🤣

The pro versions have a new vapor chamber for cooling.
oh..They have improved the heating system. There should be no problem now.
@@ianwest1624 They did... try watching the features
Best experience I've ever had with an Android.
I've also dailied an S24 Ultra and this Pixel 9 Pro XL just spoils me, it's literally perfect.
Obsidian on the new pixel seems like the best go to..
Great work
I loved the visor on pixel 8 series. The pixel 9 looks good but it's kinda sad that what differentiate it from samsung and apple now is only the camera bump.
Obsidian: usually black; sometimes green or brown; rarely yellow, orange, red or blue. Looks like Google missed/skipped some options.

Google+ should come back please! I miss talking too my friends there! 😂😂😂
Just ordered my pro 9 xl
Waiting to upgrade my fold till the holiday specials
Great review Google Pixel have made phones fun again
😊
Awesome video !!! Nice to see your videos waiting for lew later show !!!
15:00 thank you. It's a personal preference. But I prefer a light "premium, flagship" phone.
I prefer heavier, feels a bit more premium
Oh my God it's another phone.
He unboxed another phone!
It's only been a few days since the last phone!
Love your shit, Lew! Pre-ordered Pixel 9 Pro in Hazel last week and pre-ordered my Latercase immediately after. Not loving the price increase but it's the best thin case on the market 😜👍
After a long time i am getting some old unbox therapy vibes !
The Pixel has a premium feel, then less than a minute later, the case goes on.
Well, it's his brand of cases, he wants eyes on them obviously
I mean it's pretty obvious the square edges are more visually attractive. And yes, that was inceptioned by Apple so I think you're on the right track with your thought process.

Google 9
Google 9 XL AND
GOOGLE 9XL PRO LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME 😎😎😎😎👏👏👏👏👏👏
Glad to see you choose pink for the XL🎉
Awesome!
Btw no any giveaways ? 😊
Boxy design for the win! Simply feels better in hand.🤗
That penguin looks like it was clip art.
Cant wait. My pixel 9 pro xl 512gb will be delivered tomorrow!
:D
big fan!!been watching unbox therapy since half a decade now :))
One of my favourite android phone ever made
Finally.. Team Pixel 💪💪
Love your later cases
The form factor itself is what’s going to make me switch. the display is super smooth. 🔥
The new design is dope...
Great review. If I were to pick a Pixel, I'd go with the 9 Pro. It's size and features is just perfect.
new here, your background is real ??? I like this wide angle send love from greece
Looks like an “Among Us” character

True and it’s cute though
🆒 just got my 9 today! 📱🔥🔥🔥 💯

I trust Unbox Therapy more than any other RUclips Video Phone Reviewer. No matter how many other phone reviewers I watch. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
To be honest, the matte finish on the Pixel 9 looks more premium than the glossy Pixel 9 Pro.
Haven't watched unbox in years & holy cow this guy has aged. DAMN. He's not as passionate as he once was. I guess it gets boring reviewing the latest tech every year. It's a job.
I agree. There was about 30 seconds of footage of him trying to flick a cable back into the box…😂
The pixel 9 colors are beautiful, especially the obsidian 🔥
Finally from Unbox Therapy
Bro, where are the other foldables? Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo? I truly miss the old channel.
Google pixel phones are amazing in my opinion. Also Anker does make the best high quality tech support, at affordable prices. Like em a lot
I feel like Lou got his mojo back 💯💯

you best in youtube 🔥
Pixel 9 series has made my iPhone 15 pro look outdated 😂😂😂 definitely plan to switch back to android
Thats so true 😂😂
I might go for pixel 9 if my 13 pro starts lacking after iPhone 16 series
Same. I have the base iphone 15 green but I really like the Pixel 9 Pro in porcelain white. Looks so premium and elegant.

I am really happy they made a normal size Pro version.
The size is the only issue i have with my 8 pro.
This is the first time i have my phone before watching your unboxing.
I got the Porcelain. I appreciate the phone enough to think the lighter colors will make the phone pop. I will be using a case over the color though.
Was this before Gemini live was available? He's having a conversation with the regular Gemini interface here
The only thing preventing me from a later case is the exposed top and bottom. Cover those up and I'll buy one.
don't buy a thing from this crook
Pixel 9 series are looking so good!
Please bring back Lew Later!
why this guy is done for, recommend the Escobar phone, he will do anything for a dollar
Definitely prefer the pro xl model, its got the vapor chamber to keep the temps down which the standard model does not
As an engineer macro mode on the camera helps me capture clear defect images to share with the team

It doesn't matter about the square edges, the phone will be in a case. Even my pixel 7 pro i rarely notice the curved edges as its in a case.
I think boxy phones are not as comfortable as round phones and edge ones, but companies keep making boxy phones
