I had Samsung for years then switched over when Pixel 5 came out. I did get the S24 Ultra though but didn't like it all all - camera to fiddly, UI too clunky, Google Photos AND Gallery?!?!? So, I traded it in for a Pixel 9pro xl - only had it a few days but no regrets. One thing I really like about Pixel is the speech to text on Gboard - works brilliantly! That makes my S Pen redundant most of the time - all I used the pen for was jotting down thoughts etc.
Thank you so much, man! That really, really means a lot. It takes a considerable amount of time making these, haha, so comments like yours mean a lot. More to come! 😁
I've been a Pixel user for the past seven years, and I usually keep my phones for 4 to 5 years. Samsung is my first choice when it comes to longevity and hardware but Pixel's usability in day to day tasks is really good. For example, I can take a screenshot without pressing buttons, I can copy paste texts or pictures from the recent app menu without taking any screenshots. Pixel offers the best usability in Photos app as well, I believe Samsung does not let you choose Photos app to be set as default. Moreover, Pixel is unbeatable when it comes to computational photography and makes tasks smooth. I'm only confused because Pixel looks taller with an ugly 19:5 aspect ratio whereas S24 Ultra looks timeless and strong.
Nice review. You covered some new bases in the review experience as compared to other reviewers. Nice work. The Pixel 8 and 9 series both support an external desktop mode. It has to be turned on in developer settings and it is bare bones as compared to any commercial desktop mode ...but it does exist.
Hey, Joseph! Great to see you again, thank you! I had a lot of fun making this video. I would like to do it this way more often, it's just life is so hectic and lots of time constraints so it's harder to do it this way (at least until I move to doing this full time.... hopefully soon!)
It feels like most phone reviews are 50% camera reviews these days. Yet most people use camera's far less than consuming media, messaging, phone calls, navigation, gaming. Etc.
Another thing people don't mention is the fact that people use their phones for work too. It's very tech oriented in the work industry, so some people actually do play mobiles games and stream for a living. Not to mention delivery drivers and mobile content creators.
Let me start off by saying," You blessed us with another banger". I love the new Pixel's design, but a little worried about the chip. Even tho i rock the s24 ultra, I'm eyeing the Pixel.. lol
Dope video as always brother! Man I’m on the fence between the new Pixel Fold and the 9 Pro XL, I just don’t wanna take that hit in camera quality if I go with the Fold.
I have three golden retrievers! You should show a pic of yours taken on each phone. I take a lot of pics of my "boys" so it would be very helpful to me! 😊 Loved your video as well!
Welcome back from vacation! Hope yal had a great time! Love the new pixels with what they have done aesthetically but the chip is what still makes me weary. I had the pleasure of daily driving the pixel 8 Pro and it was amazing but battery life + meh chip was kind of a put off. Of course regular users will NOT notice any hiccups on daily tasks and even multi-tasking but for techies it is unsettling knowing that what you have under the hood is not quite up there. Other than that, love the design, camera bump, and improvements they did make but for now I will be sticking with the Galaxy Ultra especially with OneUI 7.0 on the horizon with their "dynamic island" implementation.
and forgot to add: not being able to remove the search bar on the bottom and the "at a glance" sucks. ps. just thought how crazy this design with the custom roms is going to be! Shit...maybe ill just...nvm #GalaxyFam lol
When you mention battery life, do you listen to music all day or no? I have the ultra, and I average around 6 hours per day with Spotify being on pretty much like 9 hours a day
How is the video on the pixel for content creation purposes? I heard it looks choppy when you pan. Is it as good, better, or worse for the sole purpose of making RUclips videos compared to its competition?
The first 2 days I regretted buying pixel pro xl but then I felt really happy with this phone .too good for me. Battery life increased a lot, I think it takes time to understand the daily usage. Actually, the first 30-35% of the battery drops very fast and then it drops very very slowly.
@@RedheadLG MAN facts! Tbh tho I have been having some Bluetooth issues with my car and that did leave a little sour taste ... Other than that flawless
I promise I have and love both. I have the fold 4 256 and just got the 9 Pro XL in porcelain 256. My sim is in the pixel and in loving it moving from the 6 pro.
What I love about the Pixel is the actual phone itself. I have a 7 pro and it automatically doesn't let spam calls get through and it always shows the full name or companies of who's calling even if their not saved, for the Samsung I have to pay extra for Verizon call filter pro just for that same thing.
The problem is this statement had more weight when the Pixel Pro models were $900. At $1,100, a social media scroller ain't buying. So the powerhouse Pro users are left with an underwhelming performer.
Currently have the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I have had Samsung phones since the S4. I plan to switch to #teampixel soon. Looking to pay my phone off sooner rather than later to switch to either the 9 Pro or maybe the 10 Pro once it's out.
I'm team iPhone now, but after the mess that was Android a couple years ago when I first switched, seems like Google, Samsung and OnePlus have made really good strides forward. One of my friends picked up a Pixel 8 Pro in June to replace his aging Pixel 4 and now I kinda wish I told him to hold off for a couple more months for this phone to launch especially now that you can get the full fat Pixel specs in the smaller size as he prefers smaller phones generally.
I'm absolutely loving my pixel and I traded my S24 Ultra in for it. I adored the S24 but was looking for something more comfortable to hold, would do everything that I do on a daily basis and do it well. I never used the s pen, or dex and enjoy my social media, email, messages etc. In fairness I also have a Vivo X100 Ultra which is maybe the best camera that I've ever used on a smart phone. I don't game, for me it's a fantastic everyday phone.
my dad found a hole in gemini as well. he was talking with it about pi, different facts and such. then asked where he could go to get a meat pie nearby. gemini thought he was trying to "meet pi" and went on a seemingly endless loop until it was literally spelled out for gemini. very impressive ai but sooooo far from where it needs to be. i asked it for shaded parking lots, something that most people could halfway recall, and ai could scower images of nearby parking lots for info on, but it brought back just parking lots. i may be expecting too much, but that excentricity is where ai needs to be to actually be daily useful and mass adoptable.
Have a pixel 7 pro but has screen issues was going to upgrade to the 9 pro XL but it's unfortunately on backorder until mid October smh so i got a Samsung Flip 6. Might just give the Flip 6 back in a month and then order the 9 XL instead.
watching this video on my brand new pixel 9 XL pro. just upgraded from Samsung s22 ultra. it may not really be an upgrade. but it's a great phone and it's more than enough for me and the camera is gorgeous
#TeamSamsung I will admit that the pixel 9 pro XL is a very impressive phone. Google just needs to update their chip and/or lower the price. If the price was 200 less it would definitely be a flagship killer.
If you cant ve the battery champ with les power, there is no point to have less raw power for the same price, here you can get a s24u 256 gb for 850 dolars VS pixel for 1350 dolars.
I own both phones. The pixel produces great photos portrait photos are great. It has been getting hot 🔥 at times when used heavily like GPS navigation or video recording but I don't Game. Battery life is about 7.5 hour's on-screen time. There a delays when editing pictures or setting Filters, or erasing object's. My wireless speed is 50% faster on my iPhone pro max 13 and on my s24 ultra. Another thing you need to understand is that the pixel software android version allows very little customisations out of the box. You can't change the icons without using the Nova launcher. This for me make's no sense. I don't buy a pixel to then have to use workarounds. You also can't remove the Google search bar on the bottom of my home screen or move it up. This is supposed to be android a customizable os. Honestly I prefer my iPhone 13 pro Max's customisations on ios18. The pixel XL 9 is not worth the price you can get the iPhone or s24 ultra which will be proper flagship devices. If you really want the pixel wait 6 months it will be half the price. If I was in your shoes I Get the s24 ultra you will not regret it. It will be great for everything.
I don't know if you've had the issue or not but my pixel is freezing 3 to 4 times a day, with the only fix being a forced 30s restart with all other buttons failing to respond with the screen being completely frozen but sound still playing
Pixel can handle the highlights at the expense of making the photos darker. It doesn't lift the shadows. On the gloomy day or cloudy weather day pictures coming from the pixel are just darker than necessary
4:40 I've been rocking both iPhones and Pixels since the Pixel 4, and now I'm up to the Pixel 8. Sure, on paper, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra might have flashier specs than the Pixel 9 Pro XL, just like in previous years. But honestly, I keep coming back to Google. I guess I just like my phone to work without all the extra bloatware. Call it personal preference - I’m just here for the clean, plain vanilla stock OS, no-fuss experience! Just hope Google future Pixel comes with 100x digital zoom, 20x optical scumbag zoom, better OIS during video recording, better face recognition in low light environment such as at pitch black night room 😂 Samsung Knights: calm down, stand down and stand by 😊
I switched over from an iPhone a few days ago and got the Pixel 9 pro after a decade of sticking with Apple. Looks/feels similar to an iPhone and has the best camera for an android. Very happy with it.
@@gerardomanriquez8206 The only other Apple product I owned was AirPods. Noticed it doesn't work well with other brands however such as my Asus laptop. Already have an order for the Pixel Buds Pro 2.
As much as i love my google devices the 9 pro XL just cant compete with the s24 ultra. Between the crappy zoom on the pixel, lack of Spen and of course the tensor its just out classed. I still use my 7 pro for work and love it and do have a 9 pro fold on order so im definitely a google fan but the 24 ultra is the king of slab phones
Great to see you again! This is a really fair standpoint! Google does a really great job with their phones but there are some things that the 24U just does better for sure. Although I do quite love the Pixel experience!
I've been a pixel fan ever since it was called the Nexus but now Samsung has finally caught up to the camera quality of the pixel and I no longer feel the need to keep an underperforming device just because of the camera. But in all honesty pixel 9 pro will surely be a great device and majority of people won't have an issue with it, it's just heavy users the ones that actually noticed any difference!
Returned my pixel 9 pro xl today, sad, but my experience was horrible due to a faulty camera lense, but just ya, not a good experience coming from the s22 ultra.... I'll wait for the 10 and try again. Also, its optimized very poorly for a lot of apps and cuts the screens off worse than any phone I've ever seen.
I'm a little disappointed that I'm hardly getting anything out of Gemini Advanced because those things aren't supported in my region yet. I hope my year of free Advanced isn't over by the time it's coming here
Team 🌌 but I wish the ultra would come in a smaller form factor as how google has the 9 pro and pro xl. I'm over big phones, so I'm thinking about trying pixel for the 1st time.
@@DavidAVelez1 I searched everywhere can't find how to change, asked gemini to help said can't be done, and that's on the pixel 9 pro xl with gemini advanced
Even though my s23 ultra and Samsung one ui 5.1 and 6.1.1 are my favorite, Google has amazing software as well some of the things there are doing w gemini and camera AI is awesome. For me I need my s23 ultra s pen , smart view, Dex , edge panel , multi tasking etc. Also the s24 ultra corning glass w no reflection is genius. There's many good options it's a tough choice. Also, Sketch to image and Google AI editing are some of the most brilliant features of all time
Waiting for my Pixel 9 Pro (smaller model). I stop using big phones since the S23 Ultra. Actually, I gave the S23 Ultra to my brother. Yes, I gave it away. He's happy with it. I just prefer smaller phones.
I can not wrap my head around people complaining the storage is not the fastest SSD technology compared to the S24 lineup it is one generation behind. Who is realistically taking advantage of that? Tech community complains how "cheap" it is for apple to make iPhones and their price tag is too high but all the R&D and software are amazing and worth the price. It is a similar situation here IMO with the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, the software is amazing and it even convinced me to switch my S24U to the 9 Pro XL.
Even if you don't care about faster storage, UFS 4.0 is more power efficient than 3.1. And faster storage is beneficial for RAM Plus. iPhone 15 has 60Hz screen. You can't tell us it's worth $1000 since 120Hz doesn't cost that much more to order. The only reason they did that is to force people to buy the Pro model. And Apple Intelligence doesn't even support the base iPhone 15 model. So much for the amazing software support.
#pixel Gemini is great, but as you saw yourself it doesn't remember names from previous conversations. Just a basic greet you with your name, it never remembers when you start a new conversation. Hopefully Google are relaying feedbacks from Gemini to improve this.
Maximum frame rates is is not true. None of the phones can t even do medium settings on genshin impact without overheating, but the Samsung will be better in every game
@alexandrumacovei7174 Sorry! Technically not max since they can't do 120FPS like the IPhone can, but I'm able to do everything else Max at 60FPS on the Galaxy and it performs well. Better than the Pixel for sure. Good call!
#teampixel I had the fold and didn't like it. I'm coming from a iPhone and just wanted the phone to work. There's to much going on out the box for the Samsung devices. I feel right at home with the PIXEL. It's basically a Google iPhone
6 hours SOT on the Samsung folding phone? That sounds impossible. I've never had more than four.. no matter what I try. I always have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on and a watch connected. But yeah I could never get that on my five or my six fold.. I also have the pixel 9 pro XL... Loving it so far!
I’ve used my cracked screen note 9 for the last 5 years never considered getting a new phone what do I or anyone do out and about that u can’t just use a iPad or laptop doing?…
#teampixel and watching on my 9 Pro XL 👌

u did a big mistake
@@kamikaze_1405but why?
Go ahead ! Samsung is for smart people
@@kamikaze_1405I made the same decision moving from S24U to P9PXL and couldn't be happier with this decision.

Had me rolling with the fusion dance pose lol great information, looking forward to my order to come in even more now.
The production quality of this video is top notch. On par with all the top tech guys out there, if not better.

Both fantastic phones
The editing and fun vibes we get from this video is top notch. Very much so what I want to see more often!
Hey, Joseph! Great to see you again, thank you! I had a lot of fun making this video. I would like to do it this way more often, it's just life is so hectic and lots of time constraints so it's harder to do it this way (at least until I move to doing this full time.... hopefully soon!)

It feels like most phone reviews are 50% camera reviews these days. Yet most people use camera's far less than consuming media, messaging, phone calls, navigation, gaming. Etc.
I actually fast forward past that bcuz camera and video is like 90% of the video
Another thing people don't mention is the fact that people use their phones for work too. It's very tech oriented in the work industry, so some people actually do play mobiles games and stream for a living. Not to mention delivery drivers and mobile content creators.

Just hope Google future Pixel comes with 100x digital zoom, 20x optical scumbag zoom, better OIS during video recording, better face recognition in low light environment such as at pitch black night room 😂
Samsung Knights: calm down, stand down and stand by 😊
I switched over from an iPhone a few days ago and got the Pixel 9 pro after a decade of sticking with Apple. Looks/feels similar to an iPhone and has the best camera for an android. Very happy with it.
I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing. I have a MacBook which I barely use but have AirPods and Apple Watch so it holds me back a little 😅
@@gerardomanriquez8206 The only other Apple product I owned was AirPods. Noticed it doesn't work well with other brands however such as my Asus laptop. Already have an order for the Pixel Buds Pro 2.
The base size?
As much as i love my google devices the 9 pro XL just cant compete with the s24 ultra. Between the crappy zoom on the pixel, lack of Spen and of course the tensor its just out classed. I still use my 7 pro for work and love it and do have a 9 pro fold on order so im definitely a google fan but the 24 ultra is the king of slab phones
Great to see you again!
This is a really fair standpoint! Google does a really great job with their phones but there are some things that the 24U just does better for sure.
Although I do quite love the Pixel experience!
I just got my S24 Ultra last week, and it made me sad that the Pixel 9 Pro just came out. I've been a Google Pixel user for the last two years.😅
I've been a pixel fan ever since it was called the Nexus but now Samsung has finally caught up to the camera quality of the pixel and I no longer feel the need to keep an underperforming device just because of the camera.
But in all honesty pixel 9 pro will surely be a great device and majority of people won't have an issue with it, it's just heavy users the ones that actually noticed any difference!
Returned my pixel 9 pro xl today, sad, but my experience was horrible due to a faulty camera lense, but just ya, not a good experience coming from the s22 ultra.... I'll wait for the 10 and try again. Also, its optimized very poorly for a lot of apps and cuts the screens off worse than any phone I've ever seen.
I'm a little disappointed that I'm hardly getting anything out of Gemini Advanced because those things aren't supported in my region yet.
I hope my year of free Advanced isn't over by the time it's coming here
Team 🌌 but I wish the ultra would come in a smaller form factor as how google has the 9 pro and pro xl.
I'm over big phones, so I'm thinking about trying pixel for the 1st time.
Pixel pro got desktop mode man (something like dex, but not sa good), you need to turn it on in developer settings and you can use it than!
Great video, how do you make gemini a female voice?
Hi, there! So when you start Gemini +, it gives you multiple voice options! But you can always change the voice in settings!
@@DavidAVelez1 I searched everywhere can't find how to change, asked gemini to help said can't be done, and that's on the pixel 9 pro xl with gemini advanced
@@DavidAVelez1 Unrealistic to have a woman come up with actual answers and solutions.
@@bolle666 This is an insane comment 💀
@yplay5559 Thats so strange! Not home at the moment, but will come back and give this a look later tonight
Even though my s23 ultra and Samsung one ui 5.1 and 6.1.1 are my favorite, Google has amazing software as well some of the things there are doing w gemini and camera AI is awesome. For me I need my s23 ultra s pen , smart view, Dex , edge panel , multi tasking etc. Also the s24 ultra corning glass w no reflection is genius. There's many good options it's a tough choice. Also, Sketch to image and Google AI editing are some of the most brilliant features of all time
Waiting for my Pixel 9 Pro (smaller model). I stop using big phones since the S23 Ultra. Actually, I gave the S23 Ultra to my brother. Yes, I gave it away. He's happy with it. I just prefer smaller phones.
I can not wrap my head around people complaining the storage is not the fastest SSD technology compared to the S24 lineup it is one generation behind. Who is realistically taking advantage of that?
Tech community complains how "cheap" it is for apple to make iPhones and their price tag is too high but all the R&D and software are amazing and worth the price.
It is a similar situation here IMO with the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, the software is amazing and it even convinced me to switch my S24U to the 9 Pro XL.
Even if you don't care about faster storage, UFS 4.0 is more power efficient than 3.1. And faster storage is beneficial for RAM Plus.
iPhone 15 has 60Hz screen. You can't tell us it's worth $1000 since 120Hz doesn't cost that much more to order. The only reason they did that is to force people to buy the Pro model. And Apple Intelligence doesn't even support the base iPhone 15 model. So much for the amazing software support.
#teampixel while watching with my pixel 9 pro xl
can you use the galaxy watch ultra with the pixel phones.?
#pixel
Gemini is great, but as you saw yourself it doesn't remember names from previous conversations. Just a basic greet you with your name, it never remembers when you start a new conversation. Hopefully Google are relaying feedbacks from Gemini to improve this.
No surprise that Gemini hallucinated. In my work with LLMs it's absolute trash ...
Maximum frame rates is is not true. None of the phones can t even do medium settings on genshin impact without overheating, but the Samsung will be better in every game
@alexandrumacovei7174 Sorry! Technically not max since they can't do 120FPS like the IPhone can, but I'm able to do everything else Max at 60FPS on the Galaxy and it performs well. Better than the Pixel for sure.
Good call!
Great video! Go BIRDS!
#teampixel I had the fold and didn't like it. I'm coming from a iPhone and just wanted the phone to work. There's to much going on out the box for the Samsung devices. I feel right at home with the PIXEL. It's basically a Google iPhone
If the pixel didn't have jerky scrolling it would be a win but they can't seem to get rid of that.
6 hours SOT on the Samsung folding phone? That sounds impossible. I've never had more than four.. no matter what I try. I always have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on and a watch connected. But yeah I could never get that on my five or my six fold.. I also have the pixel 9 pro XL... Loving it so far!
what # do iphone users use?
Fun fact: Your voice sounds really deep and soothing through the speakers of the XL.
Haha, I appreciate that!
Maybe I do like the XL more then 😏🤣
I’ve used my cracked screen note 9 for the last 5 years never considered getting a new phone what do I or anyone do out and about that u can’t just use a iPad or laptop doing?…
Team Pixel, loving the new XL
#teampixel 🎉 for the W.
#Unbiased aka love both equally
Watching on my pixel 6 pro, waiting for the Samsung Galaxy s25 or the pixel 10pro.
#Galaxy fam. I love one ui ✌️😊
One UI has come a LONG way! I remember it being pretty awful. It's great now!
The face and the voice whew 😅
Hahahah, I appreciate that! I cant really take credit for either. That's all my parents DNA 😂
@@DavidAVelez1 *subscribed* 🤪
S24 Ultra is KING! But Pixel is really stepping up to the plate. #GalaxyFam
I agree! S24U is probably going to edge out overall for most people BUT the Pixel is suuuuuuper impressive and compelling!
