I have always upgraded my smartphone after 3 years just to make sure I'm still getting security updates. I'm on the Pixel 8 now, but I still have my Pixel 5 and even Pixel 2, and they both work fine. I'd go back to the 2 in a heartbeat even without the fanciest features if it was still getting security patches.
Using Google pixel 3a since 2020 👌
Im still using Pixel 3
wait till your bank account is drained
Pixel 6 pro. Going three years and still rocking
Yep same here ...although the battery has become awful 😔
@@kristiansully4874 I agree with that. I've had to resort to using 60hz so my battery doesn't drain as fast
Pixel 6 here since November 2021. It's been great for what I use it for. I think I'll hang onto it for another couple of years as it's supposed to continue to get security updates through 2026.
Phones last 2 to 4 years I'm on s21 ultra
I have pixel 3a since 2020 and still using it. Now looking for Google pixel 8a or Google pixel 9a. I like these a series because I don't like glass.
If you “game” on your phone, you’re not a gamer. Phone gaming is a damn joke. I want a phone with good cameras and usable ai. I have a pixel 8 pro and a 15 pro max. I noticed when switching from the pixel to the iPhone, Siri and even the iOS 18 ai are a joke. Just even the phone features like spam calls. I get 593 spam calls a day on my iPhone, while I was getting practically zero on my pixel. Siri is also a serious joke. From not understanding what I’m even asking to just failing outright in apple carplay uses, it’s almost unusable. I miss my pixel so much but my family all uses iPhone and iMessage. A feature that will bring me back to pixel once iOS 18 and rcs come to the masses. I’m using it in the iOS 18 beta now and it works great. As soon as the update comes out for my family, I’m heading back to pixel.
What a weird opener. If you game on your phone, you're a gamer, because you play games. Nothing wrong with phone games
Even though I don't game on my phone either. You do realize that there are billions of mobile gamers out there especially outside of America. Not everyone can buy a decent desktop or console for gaming or even have time to sit down for hours just to play a game. Some game on the go
I have the 15pro max and I'm soo sick of it. Firstly I have heating issues whoever says the A17 pro doesn't heat up is lying to you. Ios 18 is a joke I'm currently on beta 2 public and unfortunately it's all over the place. I'm going to trade this for the pixel 9 pro for sure and make my life easier.
@@ConannnnnME TOO IM DONE TAKIN UP FOR APPLE IPHONES , THEY SUCK IMMA JUST BE HONEST WITH MY SELF AND OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD TOO ,, IPHONES ARE A ABSOLUTE JOKE
new gens specially are gaming on their phones. it only makes sense.
Raw power isn't everything. Performance comes from optimization, and Google is a master of that. As the creator of Android, they're likely to deliver a great user experience for years to come, even though Tensor chips may not be the absolute top performers.
U kidding right? Google's Android is full of bugs
@@VaultTec30000 Well yeah, basically every software has some sort of bugs. But just out of curiosity. What bugs are you experiencing with your Pixel because mine runs absolutely fine.
They are the heating machines
@@Dion27375he likely has the IOS bug
I'm going to give up my iphone 15pro max for the pixel 9. It constantly overheats on me I don't know why and ios 18 is a mess. I think it mihht be the A17 pro chip it also happens to my friend.
Good luck
@@linux2005 cheers mate. I think it will be a sick device.
Cool. Make sure you get the pixel 9 pro xl it has the same dimensions as The pixel 6 pro, 7 pro and 8 pro 15 pro Max is similar in size as well
@@KEYBEATZ I think I'll be going for the smaller 9 pro. I just think I'm done with big phones. Need something compact.
Pixel 7 pro for almost 3yrs. Gemini right sucks, I totally use screen calling and the hold for me feature which is unique to Google pixel phones
I'm using my Poco F1 since 6 years now, all thanks to the OG Pixel Experience ROM
I will never understand why people spend this much $ on a phone when you can have a cheaper phone and a great tablet for a lot cheaper.
Because I like it to change my phone every year.
It wouldn't be faster if it's older, sometimes it does process faster or load faster when you upgrade
I'm all yours. I was actually looking forward to the Pixel 9. There are definitely many improvements. I wanted to switch from my iPhone but I'm very, very skeptical. The modem in the 8 was an absolute disaster and the Tensor 4 doesn't sound very trustworthy either. Let's see what the 5400 can do. I look at reviews but I don't buy it blindly.
What is wrong with a modem on pixel 8??
@@Szymix-.- Poor WLAN connection. My iPhone = 400 Mbit/s Pixel 8pro = 10-100 Mbit/s In the same WLAN. insstable and even dropouts. No network in some situations etc.
@Generation_Bandsalat that's strange. Maybe your device is faulty? And is it the same with LTE/5G?
@@Szymix-.- Not equally bad, but worlds away from the iPhone. Qualcomm is simply far better.
I am a pixel 8 user and don't be fooled by buying pixel phones,
Samsung Galaxy A51. Had it for 3 years, feels like for 4 years. Nothing wrong with it. Checked the box, made in Japan! Battery needs a more consistent charge than beforehand, but I have tons of photos and videos I could clear out. Thinking about the Pixel 8 or 9? Probably 8 after this video.
Better wait for Samsung S25 ultra.
I haven't been interested in the processor in smartphones for years. Whether Apple, Google or Samsung. All top smartphones have more than enough performance for me. A stock Android from Google has a much higher value for me than all the bloatware on a Samsung. And the most important selling point for me, apart from data protection and reliable updates, is now just the camera features and the price. That will decide for me whether I switch from Apple to Google this year or stay with the iPhone.
Same here. I think google’s strategy is to get people like us tired of apples bs to switch to google. Hence the early release.
I've made my mind up and after 5straight years of ios since the iPhone x, I will be switching to the pixel 9. The17pro chip Contantly overheats on me in normal day today tasks and ios 18 is a mess. I've never had an heating issues with an iPhone before but this 15pro max has put me off iPhones and ios 18's lack of user friendliness has dissapointed me.
same. I haven't been that interested in smartphone processor performance in a while because they are all so close. I mean, a tensor processor isn't all that much different than a Snapdragon, considering they use some of the same CPU cores. The tensor is just under clocked and it has a weaker GPU but it gets the job done for most smartphone tasks. So unless you are hardcore gamer on your phone, the tensor will probably deliver enough performance for typical smartphone use.
I have issues with battery life on my 8a. Or im maybe triping. This is my first pixel phone. I love it but i think something is wrong with my battery. Any advice/tips?
@@cjpp78ytube exactly and the real world tests show pixels are better than their competitors so I don't understand at all.
I'm a Pixel 6a user so the upgrade is worth it for me. I missed the promo deals for the 8 Pro a couple of weeks back.
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 honestly am very confused about all these leaks. Mainly because the majority of Pixel 6 pro geekbench scores are far less than my own greekbench scores from my now 3 year old Pixel 6 pro. They show around 1100 single core scores, while mine did around 1450. Right now the leak shows the pixel 9 pro xl at 1950, but if it's anything like my current device with a 350 point difference from the data online, that would put the pixel 9 pro xl's single core score on par with the s24 ultra. And for reference the s21 ultra (which came out the same year as the pixel 6) also had a lower score than what I'm currently getting today. Hench i am comfused.
So overall would you go for the pixel 9 pro XL or the s24?
Pixel 9 pro
Over s24
But not over s24+ or s24 ultra
If you have a pixel 6 or higher series, there's no big reason to upgrade. Pixel users don't buy pixels for gaming.
Pixel 3 for me. Time tupgrade, and now I am legally blind and looking for any audio AI I can get as well as teh best screen an dcamera possible so I can still take some pics and viddeos. What is the best phone for low vision? There are millions of us and are expected to doulb ein number in the US next year.
Do u consider samsung talkback for upgrade??
I still have a great working pixel 6 that I feel no need to replace. I came on here just to see if any of the latest phones had more than 2X zoom on the cameras. I would upgrade only if a pixel had at least 8X optical zoom or higher. Otherwise I'll stick to my pixel 6.
so im still using my pixel 5. this year im looking to upgrad...should i get the iphone 16 pro max? or google pixel 9 pro xl?? it will be a tough decision
16 pro max
Pixel 9
IDK 7 years of software updates seems pretty useful to me. I've had my current phone for just about 6 years now. And I can see myself using it at least a couple more. If I upgrade my phone within the next couple years, it'll be because I want to, not because I have to.
Absolutely not worth moving to Pixel. Tensor G4 is leaps and bounds behind even the Snapdragon Gen 3, and now the SD Gen 4 is about to be launching very soon with a reported 46% performance increase over the Gen 3 at 4.2 GHz clock speeds. Oof. Google is a $2 Trillion company. You'd think they'd shovel some money into an SoC that can compete since they're still in the smartphone market and charging higher and higher into the flagship prices generation over generation.
I've been using my p30 pro since 2019...enough for me, but i believe that with ai, resolution, etc, even storage wont be enough in 4 years time
I have an iPhone 15 but I miss my Google pixel. Is the pixel 9 an upgrade from the iPhone 15?
That’s a personal preference question. Real enthusiasts will carry both an iPhone and an android with them lol
No most definitely not.
@@daytonaukpc9387 well I’m upgrading from my iPhone 15 pro to pixel 9.
the 7 year software updates make the sell on very attractive. I like it and will upgrade my phone every two years
I'm watching this on my Note 20 Ultra. 2 years my ass
you are not among average :)
Watching with my pixel 7pro , from Philippines ❤
Are you ready? I've been using my Huawei P10 since 2017. It's still working.
😱😱😱
Well I switched from iPhone on the iPhone 7 and to be honest I only went on iPhone because people kept telling me how much more superior the firewall security was. The whole ios experience just left me feeling like meh. I felt so restricted in what I could and couldn't do then there was the whole apple eco system and I just thought no enough. I'm switched back on android and never going back. Currently using the zflip 4 and one my new upgrade comes available in Nov I won't be getting another flip or fold phone either. Might rock out on the S25 ultra depending what the price is or just as easy get the 24ultra because it's been out nearly a year at that point. What you guys think , 24 ultra or 25?
I have the google pixel 8 pro. I love the camera and the call screening function. I wish Samsung would have the same call screening functionality. I was not very impressed with Bixby on the Samsung S22 Ultra. I do not usually hang on to cell phones for more than 2 years so better software provides a greater user experience over better specs IMO
5 years on the 11 pro max and although AI running currently on my 11 pro is great, what is going to make it $1500 better? The new picture button? I love it, and it is convenient, but...this new screen, with a newer camera, and a rebranding of ai. Is that enough?
No phone will ever be perfect and each brand has its own flaws. Pixels have a great setup but their biggest issue is stability problems with bugs and glitches. I wasn’t expecting the G4 chipset to be a big upgrade and it doesn’t really need to be all power. The G4 simply needs to reduce the familiar Exynos related issues like overheating, bad battery life, and poor connectivity. If the G4 can provide stability in these areas, who cares about bench mark scores? Raw power is not everything and if you buy a phone for the best cameras or the highest gaming specs, you’ll never get that satisfied. If you want gaming then buy a PC or PS5 or game console of some kind. If you want pro level cameras, buy a Nikon.
I am using a pixel 7a and love it so i might just wait till pxiel 10
My problem with the 7 was that the battery got swollen. And thats after less than a year of use. I think it was becuae of the over heating. Thats NOT GOOD.
Come on man, at this point it's not a mistake. Im on android, but even I know that iphone 16 isn't even out, yet. 😬
Excellent Video especially regarding the current present value of AI
OnePlus 7t Pro. Do the math, 6 years and running strong. While, as a secondary phone, I have an iphone 14 pro. My criteria is simple, stock android, less heating and quick charging.
I still have my huawei phone 7 years and its working fine even if 3gb ram and 32gb internal memory only sometimes its laggy and its already outdated i'm thinking to buy a new phone either samsung or pixel.
Why harp on about the Samsung galaxy when you're reviewing another phone? Sounds like there's favouritism there or incentive to promote a different brand. Personally, I never had issues with the pixel 8 pro and expect the 9 to be a step.up. All new phones have incremental improvements. You can't expect.the processor to be revolutionary from the previous one.
I dont know why comments defending pixel by saying do you game ? Do you do ? Bla bla ?
Even for average use it gets warm and if you keep using it for long time it gets hot without gaming ! Thats what i see with 8 pro
I owned p7 which was a heater and I traded in for p8a it never gets hot and it is so smooth and perfect just 100 percent optimised!!! I don't use my 15 pro max that much after getting my pixel 8a . My 15 pro max heats up like crazy even while watching videos and doing some normal stuff. Best of all is the looks and small factor with sexy bay color❤. I love pixel ❤
@sidharthshivappa1359 so you are telling me your 8a is better than pixel 8 pro and all these people are facing heat except you 😂 ? I own both 8P and 15 PM and both are not like what you said 😂
Iphone while gaming and shooting videos gets hot
Pixel almost 80% of the time warm
How weird pixel fans are , appreciate of you be honest at least for a piece of sh** like phones , google will not pay to you or even apple.
i give no shits about Gaming on my phone. You kiddos are killing me. what a farce. I aim to disable 'Gemini' as much as possible if I get a Pixel 9. these companies aim to make us think we Need this shit. WE DON'T.
If you are upgrading from pixel to new pixel phone just for cameras. Don't do it .
why not?
I've been using my Huwei P20 Lite since release :)
Who the hell can keep a cell phone for 7 years
I don't get why not. My 5 year old OP 7 pro would still be fine with new battery, but since the updates have stopped coming and I would like to keep my device secure I unfortunately don't have any other options than buying a new one. And this is why I find these promises appealing.
I still see Apple fanboys around with the iPhone 6s or something along these lines. They are the ones who call others poor for having the latest $2000 folding phone too.
had my s20 ultra all the way until the s24 ultra came out and realistically could've kept using it for a long time
@@YouKnowJuneau did you buy the new one because you wanted or did you care about the updates too?
If it works why fix it or why buy new one in this case. Buying new phone in this economy 😮
I still use my samsung note 10+ everyday 😊 but changed the battery twice 😊
Watching on Pixel 4a, but want to upgrade
I paid $400 for my pix 8 pro.. it depends on the promotion trade in price spectrum gives.. my fold 6 only cost me a real $700 and my s24 untra cost me a real $500.. I do buy every phone with a sim card slot, that is why I don't buy apple anymore....
I mean they are bringing their phones to Nordic Europe for the first time so for me this ain't an upgrade, it's switching to a brand new ..brand.
Let’s see how they make these heating machines this time 😂
Hopefully I'll have a reason to go from the 5 to the pro
TEAM PIXLE !!!
Really Love the design, but I ain't paying no $1000 for a underpowered trash chipset😂
The A17 pro chip on my iPhone 15pro max constantly overheats. I ain't a gamer so the pixel will be more than enough for me and most people.
I'm using the Galaxy Note 20 XL. It's about to be on its 5th Year. Until the phone does something really spectacular, I have my PC for gaming and don't really use AI at all.
So no upgrade for me until something catches my eye I suppose.
You are lucky, using note 20 ultra without any greenline issue.
hope you will not get any :)
Samsung is ass, been using my pixel 3 xl for 5 years now but my screen finally broke.
I have iPhone 15 pro max
But I want to buy google pixel 9 pro
Pls suggest
It depends on your own preference. as in android vs ios.
another notable thing is the size as pixel 9 pro is in small size.
but if you are ok with phone size and ios then swtching to pixel 9 might not be a great idea as iphone 15 pro max is great in camera, software, longevity and almost in every department.
I suggest you get help.
How is the chip worse than last year's snapdragon
Im upgrading off of the body alone , pixel 8 pro looks outdated imo.. i also don use cases so
Every phone has it's problems and every phone works for someone lol. Get it now. Honestly its not that deep just concentrate on your own needs and don't be influenced or triggered. My P8 runs hot and I'll keep an eye on things in case there's a stand out device in 2025 or even 2026 but its still a great little device for now. You don't need to cry about these things with one another 😂 Good summary in parts ✅
I am using Pixel 3 , is it worth the upgrade 😆
😂
Google is bringing their A-game with this phone.
They're looking at what Samsung and Apple are doing and got tired of them hogging the lime light with their A.I. features and sexy looking phones.
snapdragon midrange chip like 7+ gen 3 can beat this tensor G4. Google always disappoint us. if you are launching a premium flagship smartphone then processor should be flagship level. at least you should learn from Apple & samsung
I use s21U with that crapy tensor/exynos samsung processor... I will switch to oneplus 12 or 13
5 years using same phone
Wow 👌
I am still using iPhone 7
NO
I have same idea with @ankcientgamer but with cameras. If you sohailly buy phone for cameras, phone photography is a damn joke, I want a phone with photography grade but not come out same lame sensor and improved...(Slightly) Damg it go buy a damn camera and it last u at least 5 years to not upgrading sohailly phone and get der best quality photos and stop saying, ah I use my phone can took picture. I know, I know u can take sohai picture l, I mean if u want to believe and compare phone to full frame kamras, go buy a kamera. Unless u really enjoy AI removing people from ur pictuez
Huge waste of money. Very weak tensor chips are gens behind
do you play video games? if not this chip is just fine. I watch all the RUclips videos in 4k do you I get on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter do you? it works just fine unless you play video games so wake up. Jimmy
@@travismayes23 but it's not future proof. In other words it's going to be too weak for future AI updates. And I wasn't trying to upset you bud. But these tensor chips are very weak
@@user-ip8fi4fp3mcalling someone “bud” is kinda rude. Seems like you’re trying to trigger someone, bud
@@parkerajax9320 you scare me. I'm a shaking. Cell phones are going to be the death of us all lol. But I don't want no weak pixel. Why buy a phone several gens behind the rest out the gate. Seems like a very bad idea And I regret ever buying my p8p
If the word "bud" offends you, that's a you problem@@parkerajax9320
*nokia ringtone plays*
Don't do it
No all pixels are just POS.
8 days lol
7 years of software updates is definitely marketing hype, nobody can hold a phone for that long these days.
I have my Samsung s6 edge works perfect better than my iPhone 15
