Was going to get a discounted P8P around January but ended getting a P9XL with a $400 discount from my Telco. I do appreciate the better selfie camera, the better modem and the better ultrasonic fingerprintreader; so at the same price (with the discount) I'm happy.

        Gsmarena, it would be better when you continued to diplay the f-number and exposure time when one taps on an image.

          Pixel 9 XL is uglier, slower and overpriced.

          Pixel 8 Pro all the way.

              justasmile, 09 Sep 2024Just get the Pixel 8 Pro - 9 Pro XL is just overpriced.True but price will come down fast, after iPhone 16 Pro Max is released and specially after Samsung S25 Ultra. People just wait 3-4 months and buy it for 800 saving a ton of cash.

                    🚨🚨🚨

                    I have said many times and now Ice Universe has confirmed.
                    8g4 costs $240.

                    The 2020 SD865 was $40.

                        "As previously anticipated, the camera quality remains largely unchanged."
                        That's actually not true at all when you take photos at 10x-30x. In contrast to Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro XL always uses analog binning at 10x-30x and seems to use a new machine learning based algorithm in order to compensate for the lower resolution, so you get less noisy results at 10x-30x, but the results contain more fake detail and can look upscaled/oversharpened.

                        If you don't use the 50 megapixel mode (which is slower and doesn't let you take live photos), then you only get 2.5 megapixel dng files at 10x (due to analog binning), whereas the Pixel 7 Pro delivers 11.4 megapixel at 10x. The Pixel 8 Pro gives you roughly 10.0 megapixel at 10x, if you don't use the 50 megapixel mode.

                          Tensor G4 is on par with 8+ gen1 released in 2022. Google always several generations behind...

                            IMO, the 8 pro is the better option. The tensor G4 is just a "new core G3 with design changes".

                              8 Pro wins: design
                              9 Pro wins: battery endurance, photo quality

                              None of them are worth, even if sold at $650.
                              No matter what bias reviews on YouTube may say.
