Not as much as you'd think. The phone operates incredibly intuitively. My mom is a long-time iPhone user who just switched from the 14 xl to the P9PXL, and she is loving it.
Oddly enough, it opens up to the previous weather UI. Even though the widget is called " pixel weather" I think it needs an update. It also uses the old weather UI when you tap at a glance
there's a feature where you double tap the back of the phone and use that as a short cut to open any app. I personally use it to open the google wallet.
The old 4a 5g would let you scroll text and pull down your notifications and scroll websites or RUclips I miss that feature they need to bring that back
Fully transitioned to the pixel phone after ip15PM ans SZfold5... this phone is definitely a breath of fresh air for me... apple badly needs a universal back gesture and samsung needs to rid of its bloatware. Samsung also needs to implement updates faster.
Finally had to upgrade from my Pixel 6 Pro and picked this up yesterday. Love it so far. The animator transition scale tip is a game changer. I never even knew that was a thing.
This has bugged me for 3 years with my 6 and I didn't even know it was an option. It's so much snappier! I'm still ordering the P9P for the cameras though. My Pixel 2 could macro with flash, 6 got shadows from the distance between, hoping the 9 Pro is better.
I do not own a pixel yet but what I can say is that a few weeks ago my S24 ultra overheated and no it was not while gaming it was while taking pictures on a normal sunny day the phone overheated to the point where it was shutdown and I couldn't power it back on for 2 minutes
In your camera, turn off location. Photos store your picture location. Not only in court can it be used against you, but people can track your movements if you use social media. I've been turning it off since back in my Samsung S3 days. Way back then.
Doesn’t really matter with today’s technology you can use google image search to see where your photo was taken. Not only that but you can circle any image within a photo and AI will give you its location. Your phones GPS will also give up your location. If you or anyone is that paranoid I would suggest not taking your phone with you at all and don’t ever post pictures to social media. Doesn’t really matter because all social media knows where you are at at any given moment. There are cameras almost everywhere nowadays and all of your devices listen to what you are saying. Ever wonder why an ad will show up just after you were talking about it? Personally I don’t worry about anyone knowing anything about me because I don’t commit crimes. Most people who post pictures on social media also feel the need to brag about where it was taken so they can feel good about getting a thumbs up. 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
Thanks for going with the Pro. Everyone praises the portability and convenience of the smaller phone. But when it's time to put their money where their mouth is, too many just go for as large a phone as they can get for the money.
The 3 button navigation at bottom is a deal killer. I wish the back button is on the right side like my Samsung. My thumb is not long enough to reach while holding the phone 😂.
I wish "at the glance" could be removed or costumized more. I like to see time, 'fells like' temp, humidity, alarm clock status.... I have a widget that shows all that but it has to be below the at glance bar making some info redundant.
Great video, I also suggest using Pixel studio for AI wallpaper generation. Worlds better than that default wallpaper crap where you can only make roses and flowers.
Everytime i am watching a movie or RUclips and Instagram movies i hear a sound like a message is coming in from your e-mail or whatsapp.how can i put that off? Buth i stil want to hear when i have a e-mail or message in WhatsApp
HEADS UP: Interesting how nobody mentions that if you swipe down with two fingers instead of one you access the shortcuts instantly. I use middle and ringfinger for this action - just seems more convenient to me.
Instead of using the pre-installed wallpapers, it's much more fun to go into pixel studio and create something unique. I gave it the prompt, "A realistic landscape complete with a bright and colorful sky". The results were amazing, most of them anyway.
I must be the only person in the world that does not use their phone one-handed or unlock it with their thumb. I tried to do that, but it falls out of my hand every time. But then, I am always the exception in everything...
If you put your wallet on your lock screen can a person in possession of your phone use your wallet for purchases? Does it make it accessible from a locked phone?
I have my phone now. If you put the wallet icon on the lock screen and press the icon you are prompted to unlock the phone via fingerprint before it proceeds further.
Great tips, definitely going to use it when my Google Pixel 9 Pro arrives. Still I'm figuring out which case I will buy. I have a great experience with UAG but it lacks customization and I want it to be rugged. How does it compare against dbrand? If anyone can give me some advice that would be great
Hi, my daughter has just got the pixel 9 pro and it has adverts when she selects the settings tab. Can these be removed? Also the search bar on the home screen, can this be removed? Thanks

Woah. That's actually much faster too. Thanks!
I also wish there was a widget for the new Google weather app. If you put a weather widget on your phone it connects to the old weather
Oddly enough, it opens up to the previous weather UI. Even though the widget is called " pixel weather" I think it needs an update. It also uses the old weather UI when you tap at a glance
@@Steve.F at a glance never works except for appointments and weather anyway

Very helpful...as a new Google Pixel owner and someone who is definitely not tech savvy I learned a lot from this video. Thank You!
Got it yesterday such a smooth experience ❤
Will be having my google pixel 9 in 2 weeks time. I'll try these settings for better experience! Thanks for your video!
This video was so helpful! Thank you! I freaking love my pixel 9 pro fold!!
Awesome. .very happy to see best technology
So satisfied with all the activity that this device can do. Just moved from 2 months of using stpd iphone 15
Lots of information. Will listen to the rest later. Thanks great introduction.
Just upgraded from pixel 6 pro to the 9 pro xl. Got $1250 for trade in value with ATT. Love this new phone!!
This was really helpful. Thank you so much
Excellent Alex...Very helpful
Great video. Helped a lot. It's crazy that so much isn't test to the level that's promo'd from the company i.e camera and screen settings
Great video with very helpful settings!
Thank you for sharing this video. This was very helpful.
Great work, awesome video
As someone who has the 512gb 9 Pro Xl and never used all of the 128gb my 6 pro had. Just feels nice lmao
I do not own a pixel yet but what I can say is that a few weeks ago my S24 ultra overheated and no it was not while gaming it was while taking pictures on a normal sunny day the phone overheated to the point where it was shutdown and I couldn't power it back on for 2 minutes
My fold 6 did that too. RUclips was going draining battery in background check and see you have any app going crazy in the background
Fyi, this phone is heating as well to the same activity

Funny, I just learned some stuff here that worked on my pixel 7 that i've owned for almost 2 years. And I just ordered the pro 9 lol
Great tips - thanks!
Ordered pixel 9 pro 😊 can't wait!!
Excellent. Very informative. Thank You so much 👍
Great thanks. I changed most of these as I watched the video.

Is it because of the camera or is that pitch black theme?
Great video
Thank you!
Does reducing the transition speed negatively affect battery life? 🔋

How is your settings background pitch black? Mine looks dark grey with dark mode enabled.

By making it 50mp it slows down the image capture
I must be the only person in the world that does not use their phone one-handed or unlock it with their thumb. I tried to do that, but it falls out of my hand every time. But then, I am always the exception in everything...
You can press power and volume at the same time to show power options. Absolutely no need to remap the power button.

Dont have the resolution option on my P9P for some reason.
It's only on the xl
@@mathewperryfanIt’s on both Pro models. It was the first thing I changed on my Pixel 9 Pro (non-XL)
So Alex, are you now courting Pixel than your S24 Ultra?
What was the default smallest width in the developers option? Please anyone?
Wish it worked with the Dexcom G6 app,,,
Us Type 1's are stuck with the 8pro

What about battery 🔋?
What phone do you prefer pixel 9 pro xl or the galaxy s24 ultra ??
@@George-f2u3g Galaxy S24 Ultra
it depends on what you want on your phone and which UI you prefer
Just left the Apple ecosystem 15 pro to the G 9proXL
Fire sale on all my Apple products
Just placed an order for a pixel this weekend after a lifelong on iPhone
I luv my pixel 9 pro XL
Nice video, but the old visor was more iconic, IMO
Why can't you customize the Always on Display on Pixel Devices?
They do but now a huge change of options
I don't have screen resolution on my pixel 9
Can you move the google search bar at the bottom? I’m hearing things you can’t 😮
You have to change the launcher that your phone uses. There's videos on it.
Which is better ..15 pro or P9P ?
Really nice phone. I'm glad the pixel lineup finally looks polished, But i have came to the realization that android is not for me...
That's the xl. I was specifically expecting the regular 9pro.
My Google photos date back as far as the YEAR 2023 ONLY
13:01 Forgot about the regular 9 pro lmao 😭
Show the feature google is hyping on this phone the A.I. pls
I can't lock my notification bar anyone can change my settings from lock screen please help
I still Love the Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra ❤❤
Really Neat

You don't need to access the wallet to make a payment. The phone just needs to be unlocked.
Don't bother I got one I'll be watching RUclips then it jumps out to home screen or pause it heaps of faults only good thing is camera
Can you guys put pixel 9 pro XL on your titles? Not interested in the XL.
Aren’t they basically the same phone? XL is just a bigger Pro
@@kelvinmorris1991yes they are lol
Slap a yellow skin on the back and you have a minion in your hand 🤣

We have Pixel 9 Pro XL models and do not see this "Developer Option"
Go into the settings and find the phones build number then tap it until you enable developer settings
Tap on the build number seven times
That's the Pixel 9 Pro XL ! The 9 pro is not even released yet. That's a false advertisement
Is pixel 9 pro so big?? Looks like 9 pro xl 😅
this is the xl in the video
