To the people saying wait for pixel 10. If you always wait for something better you will be waiting forever. There will always be the next years model. There will always come something better and newer.
Nah people are saying to wait for 10 is because of the chip. Samsung manufacturing is pretty bad. Not to mention there won't be a significant performance up lift and in real life pixel 9 will perform like a 4 year old flagship and will have pretty bad battery compared to other and always heating issues. Thats why everyone should skip pixel 9
Whops. Just got a new pixel 8 as it's price already dropped. I'm blown away by how smooth and responsive it is and all the additional features. Can't wait to see what 7 years of updates looks like
I got it 2 weeks ago. I had S21 FE before the Pixel and wow, this is the definition of the smartphone. Build quality, screen, haptics, software and the features, speakers, cameras. I was torn between the Pixel 8, S24, Xiaomi 14 and Honor Magic6 Pro and I couldn't be happier with my choice.
I was coming from the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and I so agree with you with what you said. I love the Pixel 8 Pro design language because it doesn't look like an Asian influenced phone like the Samsung and the OnePlus etc. BTW the Pixel 9 series looks like a iPgone with a pill shape camera bar. 🤮
I had a phone that worked flawlessly and I was very happy with (Samsung S21 FE), but I couldn't wait and two weeks ago I bought a Pixel 8, thinking the Pixel 9 wouldn't come out until October. To be honest, I'm very happy with the Pixel 8 and I don't regret the decision. I'll probably regret it once the Pixel 9 comes out, but I'm certainly not going to sell the P8, and since it's been announced that the Pixel 10 chipset will be built at TSMC, I might have made a good choice.
I don't understand why they just don't go all out since their phones are not budget oriented anymore. Waiting on S+ tier camera with actually good video recording.
@@alexspataThat does not matter when they keep increasing the price of their phones. The pixel 8 pro is not worth more than $500. The hardware is too bad.
Thank god, let's not move further into the 7 inch category (like the S25 Ultra going to 6.9) Phones really don't need to get any bigger anymore, it's becoming dull and ease of use is becoming crappy
I love that there's a smaller pro option and I really hope they do change the fingerprint reader. I don't have an issue with accuracy but it's too bright at night 😂
People are saying, hot take, wait for pixel 10. I say, take 9 or wait for 11 - Tensor G5 is their first gen TSMC processor, which might end up not up to the standard. I would honestly either take a tried and true gen 4 of Samsung produced processor, or wait for the second generation of TSMC produced chip.
I really like how Google has their design language for their rear cameras. It makes them stand out by keeping the horizontal rear cameras since the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.
I imagine that with a case, it will be hard to differentiate them to the pixel 8. Especially with non transparent cases. Really dig the pill shaped camera array but guess it will be irrelevant and even harder to clean
ZenFone 10 user here. Had a Pixel 6 Pro back in the day. The 9 Pro (non XL) is looking mighty tempting, as i like small phones with all the bells and whistles, so i might pull the trigger when it goes on sale. I miss the only 6 Pro because of the quick updates and compatibility with everything (Google Ecosystem), but the overheating and real world cellular connection issues made me ditch it. Dont really care who makes the chips, TSMC or otherwise, so im not too bothered by that. Im a dad that wants to take photos of me and daughter eating an ice-cream, and not have it look like a blurry mess, like with my ZenFone 10. Definitely watching this space like a hawk.
I switched from a Pixel 4 XL to a iPhone 14 Pro Max. If I’m gonna be switching back to Android (specifically Pixel because I don’t need a massive phone with bloatware), that SOC is gonna have to improve significantly. It doesn’t necessarily have to match the A17 or whatever iPhones are shipping with now, but at least provide a smooth and snappy experience WITH (and this is very important) excellent battery life. TSMCs chips, especially their latest models, are pretty good at getting high performance with a low power draw. Pixel 10 might be the move back to Android.
Been considering one of the Pixel 9 phones but the colour choices aren't inspiring. Would be interested to learn more about that blue Pixel 9. If it is a nice shade of blue then I may be persuaded.
😂but that will not change much. Minor improvements in battery and power, but price will also increase. Exynos 2400 & 8 gen 3 are quite close so , foundry is not major factor. But their design and optimization sucks more, otherwise why Qualcomm not able to beat apple chips when both are made by TSMC.
So.... the XL variant makes a return, but only after placing "pro" in front? What happen to just having a Pixel and a Pixel XL like the old days? My Pixel XL in blue was the best phone I ever had and is the reason I returned to having a Pixel initially.
Same here, I decided to risk it and already ordered the S24 Ultra. Combined with a plan I get that thing with 512 GB for less than 900 € (it's a premium carrier here in Germany...) but as the chip set in the Pixel 9 will be bad again AND the price is skyrocketing AND I don't want to sit on the 6 Pro one whole more year I think it's the better choice.
It's the same story every year with each new smartphone. The TSMC processor will launch next year and everyone will say it'll be so much better. Yet the majority of people aren't going to see the difference. I will say the hardware looks really clean with the new design. Curious what colors they're going to have this year.
Just so you know a "quantum leap" is the most insignificant change in physics. Its the most UNimportant event that can possibly happen, get your physics right.
I might get the 9. And that's because Android 15 supposed to be last major update for pixel 7 pro. Which is bullshit after paying $800 brand new for this phone in 2023 when it released in 2022 , only got like one or two major updates out of it
The Pixel 6 should get Android 15 & the 7 should get Android 16. The Pixel 6 will be 3y old at the end of October, I don't see why it wouldn't get Android 15.
@@BananaBlooD9517 ah thanks, great point, didn't think about that, that'd be nice to see Pixel 6 get Android 15 and maybe up to 16 or so for pixel 7, might try to hold off on upgrading my pixel for a little while longer
Previous leak about 50MP IMX858 seem to be not true, as today official marketing details leaked and it says it is the same 48MP ultrawide and telephoto, only new 42MP sensor for the selfie, so yeah...
well, sony new lytia sensor are the newest upcoming sensors recreate for mobile only. will see if s25 get it first then pixel 10 also can chance of get new sony lytia sensors next year.
The only thing I care about is the upgrade to ultrasonic FP scanner. If you have used any of the samsung flagship devices over the last 5 years then you know just how vastly superior this tech is when compared to the, em... flakey, optical scanner that has been used in the pixels for the since the P6.
I'm still using a Pixel 3. So the 9 pro would be a huge jump in terms of upgrades. I wad hoping to hold out till the Pixel 10 pro but my battery is really weak.
I'm just not keen on the new design. It looks like 'if Google made iPhones'. Besides, if you live outside of America, you might be better off getting a discounted 8 Pro as we have no idea how many of the 9 features will be available outside of the US (probably very few looking at Google's history).
I feel like this design is way too much Apple. I personally prefer the one with the full width camera bar, which is pretty iconic to be honest. Also the form of the device reminds me of Apple way too much, especially the side rails and curves. And also the price...
I would wait for the Pixel 10 but I'm sick on samsung have been using samsung since galaxy s5 and their software will always be garbage. Always had issues with every phone which never got fixed even with the newest updates. Done with the lag random restarts and freezing up. Only had 1 samsung that didn't have issues with software. I'm done with samsung ui software. Stock android is miles better. Plus the pixel 8 pro camera is better than the s24 ultra and its older of a phone and it feels smoother than my s23+ 😅
I like the new design more. It reminds me of Robocop’s helmet glasses slot so it makes me feel that the phone is more futuristic. I didn’t like the 6th to 8th version designs at all.
The Pixel 6 Pro was google innovating... everything since is just bland to me. there's no excitement in the phone design, and I miss curved displays! our hands have curves, I do not want flat rails, and sharp edges. I don't want my phone to cut me like a knife lol that being said I wish they would have just called in the pixel fold 2, and I wish they would have kept the tron like camera bar... it set google apart! great vid as always!
Means if you can launch a product before the decided date then isn't it better to use the extra time to iron out software. Like android definitely needs some fixes.
Just bought the z Fold 6. It's a good thing i have 30 days to return it. I should have waited until the pixel fold comes out in case I like it. The folds are getting old. I've had the last 6 of them, and there all the same. It Gets annoying after a while. Something new would be nice... like the new Google fold.
I thought about Upgrading from my Google Pixel 8 Pro to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL but I've decided not to because there's just not enough there to make it worth the Upgrade in my opinion. 256 GB's of Storage and 12 GB's of RAM is more than enough for a Smartphone for the next couple of Years. Also if you Root your Phone there's Root Modules and Root Apps or APK's that you can use to make it better such as Performance and Battery Saving.
I got Pixel 8 pro at half the original price. What u should do is wait, what? 9 month? And u got a much better deal. Note that pixel 10 will have a much better processor than the 9 due to a better 3 nm process node technology. And if u have to wait 9 month to get a good deal, u ll buy u pixrl10 in 2 years.
I’m coming from 11 pro and now i am confused between 16pro and 9pro. The only thing that is stopping me to switch is apple watch. I have series 7 watch and i don’t want to buy another watch. Another thing that was stopping me was the size of pixel pro and less feature in pixel,128 gb rom and soc. If g5 would have come this year i would have definitely bought this phone.
The pixel 8a's only purpose was to be the grave stone of the formerly glorious Pixel A Series. There will never be a Pixel 9a. And the Pixel 8a was made to justify that decision by google, since it does not sell well - not to anybodys surprise, given the crappy hardware.
8a is not crappy hardware at all it has all the good features and top notch software highly optimised and no heating whatsoever. It's a good phone and a great looker with a small form factor 😊
Im on a Pixel 6 Pro XL. Probably going to update since this one is starting to show it's age. Even though its getting Android 15 and still 2 more years of security updates. Just dont want to pay for a new phone 😂
I am currently still rocking Pixel 4a since 2021, lately it started to be annoying, I think something is happening...but I will still wait until the Pixel X will come out in 2025 just for the TSMC chip
I have been using p8p but I got a custom kernel (sultan on XDA) it trippled performance quadrupled battery life and connection wad faster but it never dropped before anyways Anyway if you haven't rooted and installed custom kernel I would recommend because it felt like skipping to the pixel 11 or something. I now can stretch my battery the entire week with 3h SOT or 2 days with my average 10h SOT It also its pretty damn close to the sd888gen3 with a Overclock
I have the Pixel 8 Pro. Not interested in the 9Pro and will wait for the 10 Pro. I do like the redesign and advancements Google are making with their flagship phone. Pixel 10 will be amazing next year.
i bought my pixel 8 about two months ago.... its practically perfect.... how is googles trade-in program? would it be worth the upgrade? if i gotta spend a bunch ill pass and get the iphone 16
My cell provider made me an offer I couldn't refuse, an 8 pro for $240 CAD, I'll be able to sell it for more than that when I upgrade to the 10. Hopefully they ditch the iPhone design for that as well.

I thought about Upgrading from my Google Pixel 8 Pro to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL but I've decided not to because there's just not enough there to make it worth the Upgrade in my opinion. 256 GB's of Storage and 12 GB's of RAM is more than enough for a Smartphone for the next couple of Years. Also if you Root your Phone there's Root Modules and Root Apps or APK's that you can use to make it better such as Performance and Battery Saving.
Will it come with dual speakers?. Love them on my Xperia 1iii.
At current state definately wait, because Pixel 8 will drop in price, not increase after the keynote in August.
Is it an optical fingerprint reader or (hopefully) an ultrasonic reader? Still haven't found an answer to that.
It says in the video
I got Pixel 8 pro at half the original price. What u should do is wait, what? 9 month? And u got a much better deal. Note that pixel 10 will have a much better processor than the 9 due to a better 3 nm process node technology.
And if u have to wait 9 month to get a good deal, u ll buy u pixrl10 in 2 years.
I usually upgrade every 2 years, I still have Google pixel 7 pro. I'm thinking of getting the pixel fold pro or should I get the pixel 9 pro XL
It's a heater not gonna work out in india
How do you know its a heater
Because all pixels heats up in India@@RealistJ
yeah they gonna fail again in India.
When the P9 comes out, the P8P will be on discount at circa 50% off MSRP, I'll be picking up a P8P then 😊😊😊
Argh, should I switch to the 9 pro from iPhone 15 pro?
I’m coming from 11 pro and now i am confused between 16pro and 9pro. The only thing that is stopping me to switch is apple watch. I have series 7 watch and i don’t want to buy another watch. Another thing that was stopping me was the size of pixel pro and less feature in pixel,128 gb rom and soc. If g5 would have come this year i would have definitely bought this phone.
Will they be available during August or in October despite the announcement on August?
The pixel 8a's only purpose was to be the grave stone of the formerly glorious Pixel A Series. There will never be a Pixel 9a. And the Pixel 8a was made to justify that decision by google, since it does not sell well - not to anybodys surprise, given the crappy hardware.
8a is not crappy hardware at all it has all the good features and top notch software highly optimised and no heating whatsoever. It's a good phone and a great looker with a small form factor 😊
Im on a Pixel 6 Pro XL. Probably going to update since this one is starting to show it's age. Even though its getting Android 15 and still 2 more years of security updates. Just dont want to pay for a new phone 😂
It looks sexy but until TSMC it's an skip
Also they fumbled the fold design
I'm not an iPhone user, but how would this compete with iPhone being more expensive?
My Pixel 6 Pro just decided to reach the end of its life. Hopefully I'll be able to get the Pixel 9 Pro within the next month
I am currently still rocking Pixel 4a since 2021, lately it started to be annoying, I think something is happening...but I will still wait until the Pixel X will come out in 2025 just for the TSMC chip
25w charge is not great,.
They always announce but Google will wait until like 2 months after that to actually release it. So stupid
I've waited 4 years with my pixel 5 😬
can wait 1-2 months for the pixel 9 pro 😋
My man.
You should wait for the Pixel where the advertised things are actually ready at launch.
I am currently using pixel 7 so should i upgrade to pixel 9 or wait for pixel 10?
10 definitely
Think I'm actually going to consider swapping back to iPhone this year depending on their new options.
Yeah this video really should have been about waiting for Google's Pixel 10 with TSMC
As long as the processor of pixel phones becomes as powerful as Snapdragon processor then it is better to buy
I have been using p8p but I got a custom kernel (sultan on XDA) it trippled performance quadrupled battery life and connection wad faster but it never dropped before anyways
Anyway if you haven't rooted and installed custom kernel I would recommend because it felt like skipping to the pixel 11 or something.
I now can stretch my battery the entire week with 3h SOT or 2 days with my average 10h SOT
It also its pretty damn close to the sd888gen3 with a Overclock
By the time I pay off my Pixel Fold the new TSMC chips will be used so it works out in my favor🤪
My interest is where software devs "de googling" phones primarily target the pixel phones.
I would rather get the Pixel 8 discounted, pretty good upgrade over my 6A.
I think the 8 design is better than the 9 series.
Just got the 8 for free through google Fi, upgrading from the 6
I have the Pixel 8 Pro. Not interested in the 9Pro and will wait for the 10 Pro. I do like the redesign and advancements Google are making with their flagship phone. Pixel 10 will be amazing next year.
i bought my pixel 8 about two months ago.... its practically perfect.... how is googles trade-in program? would it be worth the upgrade? if i gotta spend a bunch ill pass and get the iphone 16
I just got the pixel 8 pro too. I like it and will be trading for the 9 pro XL if the deal is good
I got Pixel 8 two weeks ago and I'm in love. Too bad there's no Bay Blue finish for the regular P8, but obsidian is nice as well
My cell provider made me an offer I couldn't refuse, an 8 pro for $240 CAD, I'll be able to sell it for more than that when I upgrade to the 10. Hopefully they ditch the iPhone design for that as well.
Did they fix the fingerprint reader?
