Yeah I wanted to go with the pixel 9 Pro too but the wait for the pixel 9 Pro would have been another 6 weeks so I went with the XL which I'm happy with but next year I'll definitely go with the regular Pro. I want something smaller. Kind of getting tired of huge phones. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your content. I got to say though this pixel 9 Pro XL is the best pixel that I've ever owned. Definitely happy With the choice to add it to my arsenal? And Benchmarks don't matter only on paper. I get a kick out of people when they say it's not a flagship device.
Great video. Have had my 9 XL 512gb Hazel color since August 22nd...and love it. Using Gemini for email summarize, YT videos summarize, recipes, workout plans..and generating pictures for work of customers cars with different paint jobs. This is a great FUN phone. Battery life 8 hours SOT. SCREEN outside in very sunny Madrid, Spain is awesome. Love it.
I bought the XL and returned it because of the large size and I needed to wait for nearly two months for me to get the Pro. The wait was worth it because the phone feels so good in the hand.
My only regret, is not getting the P9P version, smaller form factor. Otherwise, this phone has been awesome. I did start off initially with the 128 GB version and had to make the swap for 256 GB.
I prefer a pixel big circle cutout camera than an IPhone island pill shape, especially when watching RU-vid videos or movies. Samsung front camera punch hole is smaller, but you lose a lot of clarity when taking front-facing pictures. :)
