    Nic model I like

      For **** sake GSM Arena please stop comparing same phones, these series is quite embarrassing. Compare phones from different competitors not same brand which barely improves anything from year to year like Google, which cannot even make proper phones, no one cares about Google crap.

              256 GB 8 Pro vs 9 Pro for 540 € more ? For what ? More then half of previos version ? xD

                    Not a single thing about how hot it gets.... just like pixel 6 and 7.
                    I had 7a, it was really nice compact phone, but in summer when there is 30-40*C it get so hot after 5min that it automatically dim screen to 25% if you are outside and even if you use case you feel the heat.

                    Now I have Pixel 8 and it have the same exact problem. And people having 9 saying the same thing: phone get super hot and after few minutes outside, screen get dimmed due to heat.

                      What about overheating? I've experienced overheating and automatic shut down in my 8 pro several times. The 9 has supposedly fixed this with the new chip.

                        I almost upgraded, but my mum smashed her Pixel 6 Pro when pre-order bonuses ended ... so she will have to wait for my Pixel 8 Pro year later when I won't even care for some better deals and just buy it because it will truly be an upgrade and not just a tiny revision.

                              Well it might not worth to upgrade to the 9 Pro XL from the 8 Pro, but it is surely worth the upgrade from the good old Pixel 6 Pro to this one. :)

                                  Don´t forget that both will end up with the same Android OS after the 7 yesr OS update.


                                  Huge mistake from Google releasing the pixel 9 series with Android 9. Let alone pay the extra 500$ difference.

                                  Pixel 8 pro user over happy happy to buy it with a huge discount offer. Thank you Google for this, pixel 8 users appreciate

                                    I upgraded my P8P to the Pixel 9Pro XL and really disappointed it is just a minor upgrade on the design & chip performance, had it for a week after testing side by side and honestly save your money buy the P8P instead (some are selling at 40% discount), or if you could shell for more than buy the S24ultra instead which is still way ahead hardware, performance and battery as my brother upgraded his P8P to S24U instead.
                                    So totally agree with GSM arena here, hardly any difference in fotos and videos are definitely worse off than my P8P. Was expecting a Big improvement in battery life but disappointed it is only slightly better maybe 1hr more than my old P8P, which had a 9mth old battery.
                                    Google & other Fone manufacturers are so cunning with their iterative updates and yet kept upping the price, I dont see much value in updating yearly anymore so I am going to sell my 9Pro XL as new while I still can and wait for next year P10XL as I still like the stock Android Software compared with Samsung One UI .
                                    Google I believe is getting out of Samsung Foundry and go with TSM, so Tensor G5 next year should be a much bigger improvements compared with T3 to T4.

                                      You can be sure YouTubers will continue to call Pixel the best camera even thought everything have a grayish tint. MKBHD have been the main Pixel promoter since Pixel 1
