BT 5.3? That shows that the chip is not up-to-date.

    OP, 19 hours agoOnePlus 13 and 12 destroy this garbage.. Great chip, displa... moreOP13 in real life isn't that great in real life.
    The only thing stands out is their spec on spec sheet.
    I saw real life usage review on this device, the battery life was not great, price is not great either.
    If I were you, I would pick more budget friendly option (not this pixel or OP13 either).
    Perhaps, older OP or (more budget friendly models).

      OnePlus 13 and 12 destroy this garbage.. Great chip, display, battery, camera, charging speed, speakers and most importantly the price.

        In love with my Pixel 9 Pro XL. It's such a smooth and fast productivity powerhouse - syncs effortlessly with my Pixel tablet, Pixel watch 3 and Pixel Buds A. Software experience, safety, security, build quality, camera, everything is top notch, the phone just glides like silk during multi tasking. Not a gamer, hence, cannot comment on it. Google is OG of Android and Pixel will always by the GOAT.

          They barely understand that a benchmark is a benchmark and doesn't actually reflect daily usage of the majority of users.

            Muiencur, 17 Dec 2024Absolutely, it’s possible to find uglier phones than the Pi... moreThat's the consumers fault, they want a thin, light device but the best camera sensors.

            Look at teardown videos to see how the camera modules fit inside the device and you'll see that they're as flat as the technology allows at present, without pushing through the screen.

              Bryan, 04 Jan 2025What is ufs 4.1 / 3.1 ?Universal Flash Storage, version number represent technological changes, advancements, improvements etc.

              UFS 4.0 does indeed benchmark higher but the extreme majority of devices that have them cannot maintain the maximum numbers UFS 4.0/4.1 can offer.
              The rest of tech isn't there yet.

              This is why you see UFS 4.0 and 4.1 in very high end devices.

              UFS 3.0/3.1 by comparison cannot reach the same benchmarks.

              These are PERFORMANCE benchmarks however and never reflect actual daily use.

              UFS 4.0/4.1 will give comparably unnoticeable performance difference in daily usage, gaming, editing etc. At least for another 2 years or so.

                Bryan, 04 Jan 2025What is ufs 4.1 / 3.1 ?4.1 has a higher data transfer speed compared to 3.1, that is the only major difference (for internal memory), most users won't even notice the difference in my opinion.

                  Bryan, 04 Jan 2025What is ufs 4.1 / 3.1 ?Just like when the new Snapdragon is released, they make you think that past year's snapdragon is garbage compared to the new one, despite being called a beast a few months back :)

                    If we think carefully, most people don't even need that kind spec on smartphone.

                    Of course, their chip inside is slower and inefficient when compared to others popular options though not that most people will mind.

                    To me, google is somewhat less greedier than Apple on smartphone business as they're already getting money from advertisement business (and sh*tty as you say for other parts of their business).

                      In France/Europe, get the Ringke case(s) with MAGsafe, Ringke camera and screen protector.
                      Anker/Lamicall have a nice 360º MAGsafe ring.

                        Anonymous, 06 Jan 2025Pixel phone has so much potential like it can be a direct c... moreIt's just Samsung's Exynos rebranded and slightly remixed.
                        That should change soon, maybe in the 10 series.

                          This is Google's "iPhone", without a doubt. You'll see that confirmed when t"he 10 series releases. Look up their roadmap for the 10 series.

                          If you have a Pixel 5, or lower, this is an excellent upgrade.
                          If you have a Pixel 6 Pro, this is a very good upgrade.
                          If you have a Pixel 7 Pro, this is an alright upgrade.
                          If you have a Pixel 8 Pro, this is isn't worth the upgrade.

                          The same applies if you want the Pixel 9 Pro.

                          The main difference between the Pixel 8 Pro and 9 series is ;
                          16GB RAM
                          Upgraded selfie camera
                          CPU upgrade for minor performance/autonomy improvement.

                          If you like customs ROMs, don't forget that you can install GrapheneOS and relock your bootloader, on most if not all Pixel series.

                          The Pixel 10 series is likely to be a good upgrade for most, across the board, depending on actually changes, specifications-wise.

                            Pixel phone has so much potential like it can be a direct competitor to the iphones. but with a garbage company like Go*gle giving weak slow tensor chip to this phone is really a cri*e. Never seen a company who give pathetic mid range cpu speed to its flagship phones. and then they want Apple level prices. Hopefully this sH*t company will shutdown soon.

                                    I was a tad bit skeptical when the Pixel 9 Pro was initially delivered, especially as the box was really small and compact - I was concerned that the phone was too light to hold and worried I'd drop it and break it. No need to fret though, the Pixel 9 Pro is designed in a way that makes it feel comfortable to hold and easy to carry! Moving from a Galaxy S10+ which was a bit bigger and heavier with really poor battery life, the Google Pixel 9 Pro has been nothing short of a revelation and a game changer!
