The Pixel’s switch from UFS 4.0 to UFS 3.1 significantly impacts loading times for large files, particularly big games and rendering. While UFS 4 offers over 50% faster performance, this change may only affect a small portion of users, as smaller apps won’t be as affected by the reduced storage speed. Regarding gaming performance, the Pixel’s FPS is noticeably lower than its rivals, such as the iPhone 15PM, which offers at least 20FPS more. Additionally, many games run at lower graphic quality and resolution by default to match the performance of other phones. This means that casual gamers who spend several hours a day gaming may experience a less immersive experience. The Pixel 9XL is currently £150 more expensive than the significantly faster iPhone 15PM, so it is really only for Pixel superfans. The next iPhone will be all over it in a few weeks.
I like my PO pixel 9 pro XL much more than my S24 Ultra. Pictures and video miles above my Samsung, and the performance difference is not noticeable (if there is one). Plus the Gemini assistant is incredible.
@@DJ-ru4im If you are happy with whatever you buy, that is all that matters. I was merely highlighting the drawbacks. I own the Pixel 8 Pro and don’t see any reason to upgrade. The Gemini Advanced version will be released to my device soon, and since I’m currently on Android 15 beta, I’ve already received enhanced battery and thermal performance. Considering the price hikes, I have little incentive to upgrade.
The Tensor G4 is not even at the level of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but rather the 8 Gen 1 / 8+ Gen 1 (3 years old chipset), with a less powerful GPU, but, but, but, Google has allowed itself to increase its prices, and the worst part, some "right-thinking" people are still trying to sell us these Pixel 9s as a revolution, pff 🤦🏽♂️ Even Apple 🍏 , which is Apple (very greedy), wouldn't dare to bring out an iPhone 12 Pro with just a new design, and 120 hertz screen as improvements, and try to sell it for $1000-$1200 Please, stop supporting and encouraging Google in mediocrity, because, other Android manufacturers risk copying this logic "offer very little, to earn a lot" 🙏🏽
I'm sorry to tell you that's not true. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is far better than the S24 Ultra and the Pixel may not be better in raw power, but in AI applications and the camera is much better than the gimmick 200 MP of S24 Ultra. Only the display is good in the S24 Ultra and nothing more. Camera is much too slow, you can't take photos of children and in 200 mp mode has a green tint. I use all 3 smartphones and can speak from personal experience.
You keep saying it's "about the same" when the S24 ultra consistently beats the Pixel 9 Pro ultra. No it's not the same. The difference is pretty noticeable across the board.
Half of those people who comment are really noob or new to tech i guess judging something with 1 video lol go see lovers of tech export speed there for pixel 9 pro xl is just way faster than iphone and 24ultra it's just about optimisation and apps that work well with some moderms so yeah tsmc manufactured chips usually work good with variety of applications but so yeah people here got less knowledge not all it's just 20-30 percent are smart here
I would say the S24 Ultra is the most versatile Android phone, but not the most powerful. I would give the most powerful Android phone to the gaming phones running the 8 Gen 3. With active cooling, they are able to maintain peak performance much longer than the S24 Ultra.
@Keitumetsemulaudzi So you're contradicting yourself. And active cooling will make gaming phones faster at other things besides gaming. I have the S24 Ultra. It doesn't maintain peak performance very well unless I use a phone cooler.
@Keitumetsemulaudzi you're talking like gaming phones aren't phones to make a point about the S24 Ultra. Gaming phones are very much phones. If you have the S24 Ultra like I do, you will realize that even phones like the Oneplus 12 with the same SOC will perform better in high thermal tasks, as it has a better vapor chamber and stays cooler. The S24 Ultra gets warm a lot.
@Marlon_J na sorry bro I have to disagree with that but not entirely, s24 ultra throttles quicker to prevent heating but u stated it gets warmer than other phones OK lol what ever makes u sleep at night
Play heavy games like pub g cod and genshin impact on pc or console not a phone therefore the pixel is a solid phone at doing the important things (being a phone)
I use both for work. It's really hard to fight how the Pixel is Built for the 9PXL. I love my Samsung. If Google upgrades the chip next year Samsung would be in trouble. It's also stupid quick for the most part. And my pixel battery is shockingly strong.
I got the Google Pixel 9 pro XL 128 gig free for my honest review. It's the first pixel pro I've gotten that I actually like enough to keep since the pixel 6 pro. I only wish they would give reviewers 256 GB or 512 GB instead of the measly 128 GB which isn't enough for anybody unless you're 80 years old and hardly do anything on your phone but text or call.
People spend their time reviewing as the pixel is doing very well with its homemade chip And honestly there's something about the pixels that the testers don't really know. A pixel the more time passes, the more it becomes efficient thanks to the small updates it's crazy but no one talk about
@@panathatube but the pixel just released, it will get some small updates for performance, while the samsung already got all of its updates over the last months. give pixel 2-3 months and it will definetly be better than before
People in these comments are so ridiculous and childish it's only a freaking phone for god sakes and they talk about how fast gaming blah blah blah blah the bottom line they're so close whichever one gives you the better deal who the hell plays games on their stupid phone SMH 🤦♂️
Next month 16 series and in 1 quarter, S25 series would come with 8 gen 4.. which would make the Pixel 9 obsolete in terms of almost every aspect. If pixel 9 comes under 60k, 9 pro under 80k and 9 pro xl under 1 lakh would say its worth. For now, wait for the offers, 16 and s25.
Nobody will notice an actual difference in the performance and power of these phones. That is a non-issue for every flagship. What matters is the software and the cameras, and pixel wins in all categories.
So everyone is talking about samsung is faster when it really doesn't matter if an app is opening 0.5 sec faster .but nobody is talking about the touch response delay in samsung while ram management test .. accept the fact guys galaxy is full packed most balanced but one ui is still need some improvement it slows down when you open multiple apps or do a quick app exis and instantly open another app
they are all biased samsung puppies, pixel has ufs 3.1 only in 128gb varianant all higer variants 256, 512 and 1tb versions have ufs 4.0.. pixel wins specially go n see what it is capable of doing ai stuff and 16gb of fast ram with no heating full day battery life better and most advance display pixel is using made by samsung 3000nits, pixel nails in camera department easily beats s24u in both day and night photos, these garbage people just can comment without using the device , i have both 9pro xl and s24u , who can give a better opinion than me , pixel photos also look more natural and comfy to the eyes, pixel keeps its thermal stability longer than s24u s24 u frame drops whjile gaming quicker than pixels, pixel even now has ultra finger print sensor, gemini live 1 year of free gemini advance with 2tb cloud storage which costs about 250 dollars per year if you buy it which you get free with pixel 9 pro's, that alone is worth considering pixel, pixel has live call translation feature, magic editor which is truly fun and useful if you do ecommerce, pixel software is very smooth with attractive animations, no bloatware whicks in samsung , there two versions of each app , one ui believe it or not after getting so many updates my phone stills stutters often times. while pixel got no update as it is new and still feels much more smooth and pleasant to use and this is my first time using a pixel device, so pixel will get only better with future updates, and everyone knows pixel will get the first updates before anyone and yes 7 years of updates, samsung sucks in giving its old models timely updates and doesnt give you new model features just to make them new , unlike apple and google which give their old models value and give them most of the features which their new pphones get...
@@SalmanSheikh-i8q AI is the main thing that pixel has and Samsung don't although Samsung may get some of those features too. Hardware wise pixel probably has made a huge leap too. Maybe pixel is better overall.
