G4 performs pretty bad in Antutu. It doesn't even come close to 8 Gen 2...The Geekbench numbers were also not up to the mark...the Pro performs slightly better than the Pixel 9, but they are not competing with each other, so no surprises here...In CPU throttling...there's a lot of red color on your screen right now...In 3D Mark 2 the stability is quite poor ▶ Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL: PROBLEMS AGAIN! @ 5:41

My slight concern is that if the Tensor G4 already provides less power than competitor chipsets at this point how will it fare in 5 6 or even 7 years time ▶ Google Pixel 9 - Long Term, REAL WORLD Review! @ 13:45
I did notice that the Pixel 9 did get slightly warm to the touch after watching this quality of video at 2x speed for over 10 minutes which just shows how much less power the Tensor G4 chip has when compared to something like the Snapdragon 8 Elite in my Samsung S25 which didn't get warm at all in the same test ▶ Google Pixel 9 - Long Term, REAL WORLD Review! @ 7:09
The second issue was gaming where the relative lack of power of the tensor G4 was quite obvious when compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite ▶ Google Pixel 9 - Long Term, REAL WORLD Review! @ 7:25

this could uh result in a thinner frame and reduce bezels on the sides giving the phone a sleeker look ▶ Google Pixel 9 Review - The PERFECT Flagship Killer? @ 4:13
the placement of the buttons is inverted, power button is on the top and the volume rocker is on the bottom, not a good placement at all ▶ 1 Month With The Porcelain Pixel 9! Full Review @ 6:13
Looks too much like an iPhone ▶ Google Pixel 9 Pro Review | Phone of the year! @ 0:49
Shiny glossy finish on the metal frame looks cheap and attracts fingerprints ▶ Google Pixel 9 Pro Review | Phone of the year! @ 2:07

my concern is that if this is your first time using a Google device confusing it needs some getting used to since the power button again is on top of the volume rockers ▶ Google Pixel 9 & 9 Pro XL Buying Guide: WHICH ONE? @ 4:26
this camera hole punch which is actually noticeably bigger than most other phones on the market and it's also got a noticeably lower position on the display as well meaning it's actually misaligned with the status bar area ▶ The Pixel 9 is ALMOST PERFECT // One Month Later @ 2:34

I'm not sure why this is the case considering the Pixel 9 doesn't get a spec upgrade in this department from last year's Pixel 8 which had a slightly smaller hole punch cutout ▶ Google Pixel 9 - Long Term, REAL WORLD Review! @ 2:55
This makes the Pixel 9's bezels look quite large by comparison and the hole punch cutout on the Pixel 9 is actually huge ▶ Google Pixel 9 - Long Term, REAL WORLD Review! @ 2:47
Personally I found the Pixel 8's rounded design more ergonomic but this really comes down to your preference ▶ Google Pixel 9 - Long Term, REAL WORLD Review! @ 0:42
The only downside I can say about it is because it's made of fairly flexible material the lip that protects the screen can flex slightly leaving the screen vulnerable if you do have a particularly heavy drop onto the edge of the screen ▶ Google Pixel 9 - Long Term, REAL WORLD Review! @ 1:40
glossy back more apt to pick up fingerprints ▶ Google Pixel 9 Review // Time To Seriously Consider A Pixel! @ 7:49

Battery Life (28)

same experience I have with the pixel 8 it started off pretty good but over time battery just kept reducing ▶ PIXEL 9 IS A MUST HAVE! - Three Weeks Later AFTER The Update @ 6:31
charging speeds again I would say not the super fast but you can get almost about 50% of the charge in about 30 odd minutes slightly above 30 minutes but the full charge will still take over 1 a half hours again U pixels do not have that super fast charging like we see on some of the other Android smartphon especially the Chinese ones that give very very fast charging that's a fact ▶ Google Pixel 9 Review & FAQ | Can I recommend it @ 6:32

however when it comes to charging things aren't so great we're still dealing with a 27 wat wire charger which is good enough to charge halfway through in around 30 minutes but for situations where the phone could use a little more juice faster charging speeds would have been nice ▶ Pixel 9 Still Crushing It - 100 Days Later! @ 3:04

The Pixel 9 is launched in India at Rs 79,999, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL starts at Rs 1,25,000...Google can't be making such mistakes every single year. I mean, I get it, AI features on this phone are insanely cool, but the rest of the phone is not at all competitive. There are performance issues on this phone and it tends to get warm even with the basic tasks, the mobile internet speeds are not at all consistent, the cameras, well, they are not extraordinary, and some of the AI features don't even work as advertised. So why is Google asking such a hefty price for these phones? I clearly don't get it. ▶ Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL: PROBLEMS AGAIN! @ 8:06

the price. With a starting price of $799 it is now firmly in line with devices like the Galaxy s24 or the OnePlus 12 and those devices both have some form of a telephoto lens they both have ufs 4.0 storage they have the much more capable Snapdragon H gen3 chipset inside and in my experience their camera apps don't lag a bunch when you're taking a HP of photos and videos ▶ The Pixel 9 is ALMOST PERFECT // One Month Later @ 10:51

some issues with call Quality, sometimes the call will drop or the person on the other end won't hear my voice clear ▶ 1 Month With The Porcelain Pixel 9! Full Review @ 6:34
in reality, the story is completely different. The mobile data download and upload speeds were pretty inconsistent compared to...Vivo X100 Pro...the results were always pretty inconsistent. Even after the recent update, it didn't change much. Now, this is the same issue that I faced on the Pixel 8a, and I genuinely had a lot of expectations from the new Exynos modem 5400, but turns out, the problem still exists. The basic function of a phone is to provide connectivity, and if that's where it struggles, I'm really not sure what to say. ▶ Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL: PROBLEMS AGAIN! @ 7:31
