• 0:00 | the pixel9 pro XL is just a bigger
• 0:03 | pixel9 Pro but that’s good enough it
• 0:05 | doesn’t have exclusive camera features
• 0:07 | of extra RAM for a boost it’s just got a
• 0:09 | bigger display and bigger battery that
• 0:11 | means the pixel9 pro is an even better
• 0:14 | Peck this year but it also means that
• 0:16 | you can choose your pixel based on the
• 0:18 | size you like not the features you
• 0:21 | need while Google announced four phones
• 0:24 | at its August 2024 event the standard
• 0:27 | pixel9 and pixel9 pro XL are the two
• 0:29 | that hit the market fast on August
• 0:32 | 2020 meanwhile the pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro
• 0:35 | fold arrive on the scene September 4 in
• 0:38 | the UK you can pick up the pixel9 pro
• 0:40 | XEL with Double Di storage at no extra
• 0:44 | charge on purchases made from September
• 0:46 | 5 us buyers can NAB $200 in store credit
• 0:51 | if ordering before August 28th and
• 0:54 | Australian buyers can pick up a limited
• 0:56 | edition poster with purchases made
• 0:58 | before August 25
• 1:02 | the addition of the new smaller pro
• 1:04 | model this year helps Google justify its
• 1:07 | decision to render the pixel 9 Pro XEL
• 1:10 | the most expensive candy bar pixel to
• 1:12 | date it starts at
• 1:15 | $1,99 it’s practically like for like
• 1:18 | when compared to equivalent storage
• 1:19 | option of the iPhone 15 Pro Max truly
• 1:22 | putting an end to the notion that the
• 1:25 | pixels are the affordable Flagship
• 1:28 | option for the asking price you also get
• 1:31 | a Year’s access to Google 1 AI premium 2
• 1:34 | terb plan which as well as granting
• 1:36 | access to jini advance and jimmini live
• 1:39 | includes more General Google benefits
• 1:41 | like Fitbit premium access Nest a 10%
• 1:44 | back on Google store purchases and
• 1:47 | unlimited magic editor saves in Google
• 1:50 | photos a pixel in iPhone font that’s the
• 1:53 | Shand I keep coming back to the newer
• 1:57 | pixel 9 series design language the size
• 1:59 | and feel of the Axel’s new squared
• 2:01 | aluminium frame immediately reminds me
• 2:03 | of Apple’s current iPhone 15 plus and
• 2:06 | iPhone 15 Pro Max in the hand does that
• 2:09 | polished metal attract fingerprints
• 2:11 | absolutely but not anywhere near as
• 2:14 | badly as expected this new squared form
• 2:17 | paired with the heaviest build of any
• 2:19 | candy bar pixel yet leads to a more
• 2:22 | premium look and feel overall this is
• 2:25 | helped further by the pixel 9 pro access
• 2:27 | Slimmer profile compared to the pixel 8
• 2:29 | Pro and side by side with my wife’s old
• 2:32 | pixel 6 Pro the jump in peel quality is
• 2:34 | truly impressive One update I’m not sure
• 2:37 | I love quite so much is the loss of the
• 2:40 | camera bar which is replaced in this
• 2:42 | generation with a camera peel that
• 2:44 | protrudes out of the phone’s rear panel
• 2:47 | at 90° it makes for a more bold and
• 2:50 | confident aesthetic but it’s not as
• 2:52 | quickly identifiable as the
• 2:55 | bar as well as the Cosmetic changes
• 2:58 | Google also claims that the pixel9 pro
• 2:59 | Axel new MID frame design not to mention
• 3:02 | it’s 100% recycled aluminium outer frame
• 3:05 | Gorilla Glass victas 2 front and rear
• 3:08 | panels and IPC steer certified
• 3:10 | protection against dust and water ingra
• 3:12 | make the new phone twice as durable as
• 3:15 | its predecessor in my time with the
• 3:16 | pixel9 pro XL by trying to keep it out
• 3:20 | of Harm’s Way as much as possible the
• 3:22 | Finish has remained unscattered but
• 3:26 | whether it will age as gratefully as it
• 3:29 | titanium clad competition from Apple and
• 3:32 | Samsung remain remains to be seen both
• 3:34 | sizes of pixel 9 Pro come in Four Color
• 3:36 | ways with obsidian pictured most
• 3:39 | prominently in this review the hazle
• 3:41 | Finish most closely apps the iPhone 15
• 3:44 | proos natural titanium luk and the
• 3:46 | Galaxy s24 Ultra titanium gray while
• 3:48 | peline and Rose squads offer decidedly
• 3:52 | more vicious
• 3:54 | options the pixel 8 Pro super acture
• 3:57 | display felt like a noteworthy upgrade
• 3:59 | from the panel on its predecessor and
• 4:02 | while not as art shattering and
• 4:03 | Improvement this generation the pixel 9
• 4:06 | Pro xxel screen is a great refinement
• 4:08 | yet again although it Sports the same
• 4:12 | resolution as the pixel 8 pro panel both
• 4:15 | High brightness and Peak brightness
• 4:17 | levels have been cranked up to 2,000 and
• 4:20 | 3,000 nits respectively meeting or
• 4:22 | beating key rivals in a spec for spec
• 4:25 | comparison add to that the panel flat
• 4:28 | design it thin equally proportioned
• 4:31 | Basel on all sides and its excellent
• 4:34 | viewing angles and the pixel 9 proos
• 4:36 | Axel super actual display is a thing to
• 4:38 | behold as before the use of an ltpo olet
• 4:42 | panel facilitat a dynamic refresh rate
• 4:44 | from 1 to 120 HZ making it ideal for
• 4:46 | oess on display functionality thanks to
• 4:49 | the implied power saving benefits while
• 4:51 | also still serving up a Snappy user
• 4:53 | experience when swiping around the UI
• 4:55 | one of the more prominent changes you
• 4:57 | might not immediately notice is the
• 4:59 | fingerprint sensor instead of the
• 5:01 | optical module used since the pixel 6
• 5:03 | series Google has gone the way of
• 5:06 | Samsung and instant GED the pixel 9 Pro
• 5:09 | axles display with an ultrasonic sensor
• 5:11 | I didn’t not notice a huge difference
• 5:13 | when making the switch from my pixel 7
• 5:15 | Pro but in side by-side comparison is
• 5:18 | lives up to the promise of a 2X speed
• 5:21 | Improvement perhaps more useful is the
• 5:23 | greater reliability especially with Dam
• 5:26 | fingers or when used in the rain
• 5:30 | one side effect of this latest
• 5:32 | generation pixel launch happening
• 5:34 | earlier than usual is that the whole
• 5:37 | series runs Android 14 typically Google
• 5:39 | times the arrival of its latest
• 5:41 | smartphones to coincide with the release
• 5:44 | of the next Android but the pixel 9 Dew
• 5:47 | on the same Android 14 Foundation as the
• 5:49 | pixel 8 at least the company’s even
• 5:52 | impressive commitment to 7even years of
• 5:54 | updates persists meaning the phone’s
• 5:56 | price tag includes excellent long-term
• 5:59 | support for both future releases of
• 6:01 | Android and subsequent security patches
• 6:04 | an area where many rivals still fall
• 6:06 | short as a longtime pixel user the look
• 6:09 | and feel of Android on the pixel 9 Pro
• 6:11 | Axel is characteristically clean easily
• 6:14 | navigable pleasantly customizable and
• 6:17 | dressed with helpful everyday features
• 6:19 | that aren’t guaranteed on other phones
• 6:22 | that said the pixel 9 Pro xxel does get
• 6:25 | some pixel exclusive editions that up
• 6:27 | the an all of switch link on jini AI
• 6:31 | there is a new dedicated weather app
• 6:33 | that generates Dynamic weather reports
• 6:36 | to make insights into each day’s weather
• 6:39 | more digestible than ever the ability to
• 6:42 | drag and drop the various inapp wigets
• 6:45 | for things like UV index 10day forecast
• 6:48 | and air quality is a nice spark too next
• 6:52 | up is the new pixel screenshot app which
• 6:54 | seems like an odd Edition at first but
• 6:56 | for list makers students and general
• 6:59 | lists it offers surprising depth you can
• 7:02 | add notes to individual screenshots and
• 7:05 | group them into collections too the app
• 7:08 | can index screenshot content across text
• 7:11 | and images making it searchable this
• 7:14 | allows for semantic search and object
• 7:17 | recognition as well as recognizing Wi-Fi
• 7:20 | passwords and QR code information pixel
• 7:23 | Studio uses an on device variant of imag
• 7:26 | 3s diffusion based text to to image
• 7:30 | generative AI allowing you to create
• 7:32 | imagery seemingly from scratch you can
• 7:35 | remix results using predefined style
• 7:38 | prompts or sculpt of a completely
• 7:41 | original prompt if you prefer at launch
• 7:45 | pixel Studio won’t render people but
• 7:47 | it’s fine with objects and animals it
• 7:50 | also managed to render legible text
• 7:53 | without much artifacting a challenging
• 7:56 | test that I have seen other image
• 7:59 | generators fail right now the
• 8:01 | application proves Noel enough but there
• 8:04 | is a scope for everything from messaging
• 8:07 | to graphic design work depending on your
• 8:09 | feeling towards the use of AI generated
• 8:15 | imagery nowhere is AI more prevalent
• 8:19 | across the pixel 9 Pro AEL user
• 8:21 | experience than the camera while it
• 8:23 | might have gone by Machine learning in
• 8:25 | the early days of the pixel camera
• 8:27 | experience AI powered postprocessing has
• 8:29 | been the secret source that has helped
• 8:32 | Elevate the repetition of the pixel
• 8:34 | cameras over the past four years to the
• 8:36 | point where they regularly sit among the
• 8:38 | best camera
• 8:39 | phones as Google has focused its efforts
• 8:43 | on AI more directly the proposition of a
• 8:46 | pixel camera has changed somewhat with
• 8:49 | capture and editing becoming two
• 8:51 | distinct facets of the
• 8:54 | experience if you are looking for a
• 8:56 | great all- round camera phone the pixel9
• 8:58 | pro xxel is right up there a revised HDR
• 9:01 | plus pipeline puts into practice the
• 9:04 | company’s learnings from previous
• 9:06 | entries paired with new training data to
• 9:08 | create images with a more toal life
• 9:10 | appearances better exposure dynamic
• 9:12 | range details contrast and colors
• 11:30 | should you buy the Google pixel9 pro XEL
• 11:33 | buy it if you want the richest mobile AI
• 11:36 | experience Samsung’s Galaxy AI is great
• 11:39 | but Google’s execution with J mini
• 11:41 | Advanced is easier richer and more fun
• 11:43 | to use by it if you want an excellent
• 11:47 | camera phone the pixel 9 Pro Axel camera
• 11:49 | system is a small but appreciated
• 11:52 | upgraded on its predecessors highlighted
• 11:55 | by a new bag of AI supported tricks you
• 11:58 | can’t get get outside of the pixel
• 12:00 | family buy it if you plan on using this
• 12:04 | phone for a long time still among the
• 12:06 | best there is Google commitment to 7
• 12:08 | years OS and security updates is once
• 12:11 | again hard to argue with don’t buy
• 12:14 | Google pixel 9 Pro XL if you want fast
• 12:17 | charging battery life is greatly
• 12:19 | improved but despite a bump in speed the
• 12:22 | pixel 9 Pro xl’s 37 wat wire charging is
• 12:26 | still will behind what Rivals like
• 12:28 | OnePlus and xiaomi offer don’t buy it if
• 12:32 | you want the best RAM and memory while
• 12:35 | Samsung forges ahead Google seems
• 12:37 | reluctant to move to the latest fastest
• 12:41 | and most power efficient RAM and storage
• 12:43 | in its phones which stings when they
• 12:46 | cost about the same don’t buy it if you
• 12:50 | want to play a lot of games Google’s
• 12:52 | mobile silicon isn’t built for gaming
• 12:54 | and while the tenso G4 handles intense
• 12:57 | games as well you will get a much better
• 13:00 | experience with a recent iPhone or any
• 13:02 | Flagship rival running the latest
• 13:04 | Snapdragon chipset
