Oddly enough, I asked mine the same question and it provided an accurate answer. That's happened a few times where I will ask the same question at different times the same way, but get wildly different responses ranging from the answer to "I can't help with that right now"
I took 20k photos through 7 years of my journey with iPhones. I miss iPhone SE 2016 that took the most natural photos from all of the phones. Current iPhones take so aggressive colors, with no hdr they look like they are with. We have photographic vibrant style but it’s not the same. Video is epic but I like the video from Pixel. I’m tired of the things Apple does and makes to the consumers - hilarious Mac wheel price, expensive cables, no 120Hz in basic iPhone. No pro mode for basic iPhones. 256GB only for Pro Max. iPad with 64 gigs.. a lot.. my next will be Pixel.
Just got the pixel 9 yesterday and ive usually had the best been iphone since they were invented. Didnt get the pixel 9 pro because i couldnt justify the extra money for hardly noticable efficiency and a few extra camera bits. Its a great phone at a great price. !!
I have the pixel 8. I've had Samsung and apple flagships, why is it anytime a new flagship comes out the previous one gets glitchy? Even when I don't do the new update
I just upgraded to base Pixel 9 from base Pixel 7. Best decision ever made. The phone is perfect. It has literally no cons (imo). Best of all, the speakers are now finally very good (Speakers on the base Pixel 7 is so tinny I feel my ears bleed when I use it )
@@achmadrifdatulhisan6454 this has been my favorite part of the phone honestly. The cooling is amazing (I have the 9 pro so I'm not sure about the 9). But I was sick of my 7 overheating and even friends who had the iPhone 15 pro Max were complaining of overheating. So that was my #1 complaint.
I'm a Google pixel user. I've had all the pixels. 1-7pro ... Currently on the 7pro... Wondering if it's worth the upgrade. 8pro was ok. But wasn't vastly different from the 7pro. Would you recommend the 9 or 9pro?
There are so many features on a pixel that is not avaible in different countries in Europe, so it is impossible to know if the phone is worth it compared to Samsungs S24. There at least you know exactly what you get...
At the moment, the Pixel 9 series is not worth its price tag in Europe. Too expensive and lacking a lot of the features... actually, when Samsung releases the S25 series, the Pixel could a good deal.
I went from 8 Pro to 9 regular. The camera is great. The phone is as fast as my iPhone 15 Pro in every day use. I don't care about the selfie cam or not having a vapor chamber since I don't game on my phone. This phone is fantastic, regardless of price. Face Unlock is still there too.
Anyone out there that is a photo enthusiast, I would love to hear some recommendations. the camera system is the main reason why I chose this & and also a promo where I just paid the Tax.
Can Gemini control Home devices on the 9 like the Assistant? I ask because I have the 8 Pro and Gemini was unable to control the devices like the Assistant, so I switched back
yes i love the pixel 9 pro xl i had the iphone 15 pro max trade that in for for s24 ultra but it was just like the s23 ultra so thought id trade that for pixel great phone
I love my pixel 8 the only gripe I will have with it is the modem isn't the best sometimes the signal will drop not all the time but still it's annoying 😭😞,but battery time is excellent especially since the android 15 update.
Overpriced garbage. Phone getting hot when using Android Auto or playing a game, battery drains when using it for anything else other than listening to music with the screen off. Fake AI and very gimmicky. Too bad my work forces me to chose between this or apple that is even hotter garbage instead of OnePlus12 or Samsung S24...
I am in the stage before buying a new phone. I currently have ZenFone 9 and I always really liked the Asus software experience and hardware as well especially battery, but I also really loved the pixel 2xl when I had it and it's my benchmark for phones. I don't know which one to pick next, the pixel 9 pro for it's cameras and os or ZenFone 11 ultra for it's superior battery, superior battery health customisation and way better hardware. I use g-cam anyway, and am able to take good picks with anything, but boy would I love those pixel cameras. What would convince me to buy the pixel pro 9 would be if the battery life was at least comparable to the ZenFone, especially in hot spotting, but I doubt it, there's almost no phone that can beat the zenfone
Is the pixel 9 better than the s24? I was gonna get the s24 but I don't have sd version in my country and I can only order the pixel 9. So I'm just gonna get the 16 plus because I already got 2 samsungs.
One thing sucks EXTREMELY on pixel phones. You are FORCED to take HDR pictures which are oversaturated af and make everything look so much worse and unnatural, especially portraits.
Been a Pixel supporter for a long time. Just upgraded to the pixel 9 from a pixel 3a xl. Honestly am shocked that the base model is OLED. I'm loving this device so far.
Apple seems to be taking a MUCH more mature approach to AI, and their hardware is powerful enough to handle most of the processing on the device itself.
yes tensor G4 is the next generation tech, a downgradet exynos that deliver 100% similar weak performance then a G3 must be next generation. and scrolling in a browser with lags must be next generation..... pixel 9 = outdatet tech from pixel 8 in another housing.
The pixel 9 have 12 gigs of RAM which is more than Samsung and Apple have on their phones, Samsungs lastest and greatest M14 display tech which BTW Samsung or Apple hasn't used yet. Wifi 7, a 48 mp ultra wide which even the base and plus s24 doesn't have. Better image processing, better modem than even Samsungs own s24 exynos 2400 version, faster wired charging than the base s24 25 watts vs 27 on the pixel 9 I mean the list goes on but remember you said it's outdated lmfao @@otozinclus3593
Im a Pixel 5 user about to buy a new phone. The 1080 videos on my Pixel 5 look very sub par to the Iphone 13 and 14. Hence I always had to shoot in 4k and thay can really heat your device as well. Just wanted to know if there is anyway I could view any raw 1080 videos from the new pixel 9 to make a better decision between the Pixel 9 and the Iphone 16.
Hopefully someone can help me with this, its my first pixel phone, switched from iphone, everything is great but theres something weird with the camera when theres like low light and i open the camera, it kind of flickers and some dark lines go across the screen then it goes away...
That’s the shutter speed trying to adjust to your surroundings. Depending on your region. You may have to set the shutter frequency in the settings to 50Hz or if in the US. 60Hz.
The only 3 things stopping me from buying Pixels is their 1. Build quality - got my power button come off even while using it as a secondary device ( Pixel 5 ) 2. Overprocessing - Photos are too much over sharpened which is too bad for people photography but amazing for nature photography 3. Potrait Mode - The best lens is un-usable and doesn’t exist in potrait mode + edge detection is so bad + background blur looks like a filter that you can’t perfectly manually adjust while taking a photo ( Pixel 9 series )
This was actually a pretty good review... Very subtle and informative. I could see the upgrades from my Google pixel 8. All in all.. it's all about AI.

I have the Pixel 9 and I'm happy with the decision. The fact I got double the storage for the base model pricing... Chef's kiss.
is the emojis of pixel and iphones the same?
@ no
You're actually the first person I've heard that touched on heating, so thank you!! Still waiting for my regular 9 Pro.
🙌🏼 glad to hear it! 9 Pro is gonna be so nice!
Fire video bro!
Is the Pixel 9 a good deal for 500€?
This thing gets hot, and it's not even summer yet.
Beautiful videography as always 👏👏👏
Switch from the S22 Ultra to the Pixel 9 XL. I literally love this phone have found no cons. Snap Dragon Gen 3 blah blah blah
U can tell he was paid off. Nothing bad about the phone NOTHING negative to say
Damn I wish I got paid off
@@HeyMarkL man chill, anyone who gives a good review about a phone. People start saying that he was paid.
Paid or not. Who cares?
Or He really liked the phone
He listed a couple of negatives you just didn't listen.
Pixel is amazing ❤ love this time
Another great thorough/informative video. Thank you so very much Mark.
Very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice review. Thanks 🙏 I saw an X100VI right there. 📷
Yes you did! Thanks for tuning in 🙌🏼
another great video Mark 🤜🤛🔥🔥
Appreciate it!
I have the pixel 8. I've had Samsung and apple flagships, why is it anytime a new flagship comes out the previous one gets glitchy? Even when I don't do the new update

Does pixel 9 have mirror screen?
Does the pixel 9 getting hot even in casual usage? (like open the social media, or youtube)

you must have an easy life, if upgrading from P7 to P9 is the best decision of your life.
Lmao @@vaneakatok
Are you using any Icon pack?

I'm thinking the same due to it's smaller size
This device doesn’t have Dynamic AMOLED 2X, unlike other models. It’s better to choose another option until they decide to include it.
Anyone know which launcher Mark is using on his Pixel 9?
Anyone out there that is a photo enthusiast, I would love to hear some recommendations. the camera system is the main reason why I chose this & and also a promo where I just paid the Tax.
Is it just me or does the gold rush skin seems to be low quality at 1:58
How did you get the square icons?
Can Gemini control Home devices on the 9 like the Assistant? I ask because I have the 8 Pro and Gemini was unable to control the devices like the Assistant, so I switched back

Oh shut up.. (from my pixel XL pro)
Glad I haven't faced any of these issues you're complaining about.
Last pixel 8 dimming down in sunlight after 5 min making it useless. Do you know if there is a different story this time? Anyone ?
The wallpaper you are using is amazing! Can you please share it with us 😊
That’s from backdrops app
@@HeyMarkL Thank you 😊
Cool video bro❤❤❤. Can you please mention the icon pack and wallpaper details.
Icon pack is a combination of Nova Dark and Dark Ares. Wallpaper is from Backdrops.
@@HeyMarkLhow did you apply them to the pixel launcher?
@@mattblundell3082Using 3rd party launcher
Same question mate? Got any ideas?@@mattblundell3082
Any juddering whilst scrolling issues like the pixel 8 line ups?
You can really see the PWM in the video. I bet Google could beat that technical problem, if they wanted to.
Need that icon pack 🙏

Why the hell are they no 9 pro (non xl) reviews???

What icon pack are u using ? 😊
What is the name of your wallpaper in the 11 vs 13 inch iPad video?
How did you get that watch on your lock screen?
Phone of the year 2024
How did you apply the icons to the pixel launcher?
I’m using Lawnchair Beta launcher. Icon pack is Nova Dark and Dark Ares I believe.
How's the gesture experience with this launcher ?
The phone doesn’t look like an iPhone at all. The only similarity is the roundness of the phone.
It does, very much. Look at the frame and the corners, it's pretty obvious.
@@fotosvond_ Many phones had a similar frame in the past, not just iPhone. The back camera and screen look completely different
Soo whats the difference between this and 9 pro (not xl)? Only the additional camera and shiny sides??
Haha yeah and the addition of a thermal shield so the phone doesn't overheat (or doesn't get warm too easily). But that's pretty much it.
@@HeyMarkLand the battery size?
One thing sucks EXTREMELY on pixel phones. You are FORCED to take HDR pictures which are oversaturated af and make everything look so much worse and unnatural, especially portraits.
Is there any solution to overcome this problem?
Thats why I like Apples raw photos
Been a Pixel supporter for a long time. Just upgraded to the pixel 9 from a pixel 3a xl.
Honestly am shocked that the base model is OLED. I'm loving this device so far.
what's your icons pack ?
That Bellroy case is so nice. Missed out on the first run...waiting for another run to grab one
There are no magnets on the back of the Pixel 9.
That phone looks like if it can be an iPhone for a day it would look like that
The camera makes a rattleing noise when shake the phone. Verry loud!
That’s the OIS. A lot of other phones have that as well
@@HeyMarkL nut this one have it the most then other phones.
@Sabakoe737 lmao not really you've just held a limited selection of devices
Just got my pixel 9 for $200 after trading in my pixel 7!
Bro how to do that home screen like ios 18
Pure Android enjoyment with the Pixel 9 💯🔥💯
Last pixel 8 dimming down in sunlight after 5 min making it useless. Do you know if there is a different story this time?
I haven't noticed any issues with mine in the sun in the few weeks I've had it
Pixel is only good at controlling the highlights but at the expense of the darker areas
AI (Gemini) has become so much realistic that it can make mistakes as us humans do...
How did you change the icons on the pixel? And which icon pack did u use pls?
Why are some capabilities termed ai? The term ai is getting over used
Apple seems to be taking a MUCH more mature approach to AI, and their hardware is powerful enough to handle most of the processing on the device itself.
Got a pixel 9 pro on pre order. Looking forward to getting that. Considered the s4 but the pixel pro seemed nicer. Hopefully I'm not disappointed.
Is there much of an upgrade from this one to the pro ?
Telephoto is a big factor but also a proper vapor chamber to help cool the phone
waiting for galaxy s25 model may give a much tougher competitionn . what do u think??
yes tensor G4 is the next generation tech, a downgradet exynos that deliver 100% similar weak performance then a G3 must be next generation.
and scrolling in a browser with lags must be next generation.....
pixel 9 = outdatet tech from pixel 8 in another housing.
So you’ve personally used the Pixel 9 and you thought it’s laggy? You must’ve gotten a fake 😂
@@HeyMarkLThe Tensor G4 is objectively far behind the competition, both in battery life and performance
The pixel 9 have 12 gigs of RAM which is more than Samsung and Apple have on their phones, Samsungs lastest and greatest M14 display tech which BTW Samsung or Apple hasn't used yet.

Do you think it's better than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra's cameras?
Not even close!! The 14 Ultra is in its own level alongside the Find X7 Pro and Vivo X100 Ultra.

Would getting this to replace my iphone 15 plus feel like an upgrade?
Your iphone 15 plus is better
You should wait for google pixel 10
no
this honestly has a way better design than the "new" Iphone 16 lineup
It's a pretty great phone. I just can't live without that zoom. Gotta go with the 9 Pro.
Hopefully someone can help me with this, its my first pixel phone, switched from iphone, everything is great but theres something weird with the camera when theres like low light and i open the camera, it kind of flickers and some dark lines go across the screen then it goes away...
