That bright pink on the regular Pixel is one of the most stunning colours I've ever seen on a phone. I mean I'll probably just end up buying the boring black one, but I think I'll always regret not getting that colour.
Great design, but I still feel that the prices are too high for the weak Tensor chip. Once they update that Tensor chip they can finally be called flagship devices.
Please test the devices under real conditions. Everyone is pretty much only testing cameras, and many only in air-conditioned studios. Please take them outside in the warm, test the throttling from SoC and display point of view. It's useless to have a phone that's fast in synthetic tests if it's useless in everyday use, because it overheats in the summer heat and the super bright display takes back brightness just when you need it most. Thanks in advance!
LOL. I fully agree with what you said. And you know which phone is the worst in summer heat? Its the iphones. Nobody agressively dims the screens faster than Iphones. I cant even use their phones as navigation devices because Apple agressive dims the screen in the warm summer months.
I really really like this new design, ordered the hazel pro xl to replace my Samsung Fold5. I'm actually excited to go back to a slab phone and I've been missing the pixel OS.
Right!? Canadians get shafted. I traded in my fold 3 and got a 1000$ trade in credit. This would never happen with Google and that really sucks. So many of us traded in old folds and will continue to do so until other manufacturers offer competitive trade in offers
Hi 😊 I've ordered the 9 Pro XL tonight Obsidian Black 256mb for price of 128gb from Google. Delivers on 22nd, having had 15 Pro Max and S24 Ultra both good but cameras not as good as my pixels were even the pixel 4xl! Cheers from UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Samsung S24+ compared to the Pixel 9 Pro XL seems like a better value. It's cheaper, higher base storage of 256gb, and faster more efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen3. The XL starting at $1099 USD with 128GB is disappointing...
The pixel camera will blow the s24 plus apart, the plus doesn't support macro nor 5x optical and the s24 has a grainy picture quality I had it before I sold it!
I hate Samsung this year , they couldn't even give us the S+ sized front display on their Fold and here is Google doing just that .i hope they fire the new design chief .

@@DanielClear2 lol cmon man how about we normalize not defending these mega corporations and start calling them out. People like you are why these companies continue to put out shit products.

Also why would his first shot of the newest wearable be when the watch is in battery saver mode? Don’t defend these corporations, you don’t owe them anything, you’re already paying for their high priced products.
3 months ago I got 16GB/512GB OnePlus 12 for 750USD and am damn happy. Really good cameras and battery life. Sure Pixels got better software processing for cameras, but that's about it.
For many, aside from the cameras, arguably the other features Google has are: 1) that it doesn't have a backdoor to a certain government, 2) it isn't a Samsung, and 3) the now extended guarantee of official software releases. There are better deals, better processors, more ram, higher storage options, and faster charging elsewhere.
Agree 100%, the resolution of the cover display the front facing cameras on both the cover and inner display and even the triple camera setup are all subpar, the 9 Pro Fold is not really a pro phone, I can't really justify that $1,800 price tag. I pre ordered the smaller 9 Pro, trading in my 8 pro
there is a storage upgrade until sep 5th and if you buy on the Google web store they give you a decent trade in + 150 on top of it for just trading in lol?
Love your vids for informed buying so i don't end up getting something I don't like. i think i saw that the LOWEST storage on the fold offered is 256 so that's good
Any heating problem? I guess heating problem and fingerprint were the major problems with pixels and fingerprint issue has been resolved. I hope they have sorted out the heating issue (pixel 6 owner..)
@PocketNow I really appreciate the design of the Pixel 9 Series. Although I always wait to purchase them when the prices go down significantly within the next couple of months (as most Android devices price depreciate unlike the iPhones). I *never* pre-order on launch date. That way I get to *avoid the first batch of bugs* and *hardware issues* they usually come with.
💥💥These phone companies are seriously out of control with these huge camera bumps I don't get it. There are phones that have been made with flushed back cameras. I don't get the fascination with making these huge camera bumps.
These will have the Tensor chip planted in them to host Gemini nano internally. Meaning the thing will be a hybrid between cloud and native computing. That's the major upgrade along with the update support. Meaning current devices will be trash soon. Unless you don't need the tensor chip.
@mattmatt7998 i can go 1-2 days before needing to charge my S22U 😅 I do however quick refills with 45W charging if needed, when I'm going out etc. Normal useage is 25-30% per day. Edit: Exynos

Google Photos kinda already does the screenshots thing. I type something in like "green" or "bridge" or "gsmarena" or "Dave Chappelle" and it gives Me a list of screenshots I took that match
I personally think the foldable phone game will end, we all saw the Nokia ones in the past, smarter and faster than regular phone, but no one would want to carry that on day to day basis, and if you want to carry a tablet with cell, there are many options already.
Is this a running joke where Himee gradually says his name faster and with a thicker accent over time 😅 I haven't been to this channel for a while so idk
Not that it really matters, Android 14 has been pretty great. Google are technically getting one over on consumers with this launch. If it is launching with Android 14 rather than 15, who wants to bet that the Pixel 8 series and 9 series will both stop on Android 21? Obviously most folk aren't keeping their phone for seven years, but is kind of funny.
I’m so torn now. I switched to iPhone last mainly because the pixels looked cheap and they were too big. I so much miss a lot of the pixel features and having Siri as an assistant sucks cause i’m an information glut.

I love how Google plays around with innovation. A few years ago I was asking why is Google making phones. They were ugly. Today Google is making some of the best design devices in America. Sadly in this country we are stuck with either Samsung or Apple. In Europe and Asia they have access to some of the most beautiful and better phones like Honor, Oppo, Vivvo, Huawei, Xiaomi and more. I am so excited to see Google push design language because it will force Apple and Samsung to do better. Huawei has one of the best folding phones but we can’t go to a store here to buy it. We have to buy them off EBay.
I had a Pixel and was satisfied with it for years, but it was all in relation to the very low price at that time. Today I am no longer satisfied with the colorimetry of their photos like the rest of Samsung or Apple, everything is too fake. I would like the fold but in my country they won't sell it. The competition is fierce and folds like Vivo today cost half as much with useful and sufficient support for years. Congratulations to Google which this year is on the right track anyway, a path which has led to an inevitable increase in prices
I have a question, do any of the pixels come with dolby atmos this year? can you please let us know? it's a deal breaker for me. it's the only flagship without the license.
I see a lot of people who dont care about the specs and performance going for these on the athetics. They absolutely nailed that side.
I actually like the design. Reminds me of the Samsung note 8
