It would be interesting to see a video boost 20x video frame in comparison to a 20x photo.
In contrast to Pixel 7 Pro/8 Pro, Google uses analog binning for 10x-30x photos, unless you choose the 50 megapixel mode. A very bad decision that leads to 2.4 megapixel dng files at 10x whereas the Pixel 7 Pro gives you 11.4 megapixel dng files at 10x (if the light conditions are decent).
My guess is that they also use analog binning for 10x-20x video boost videos (so, actually anti resolution zoom). If they don't use analog binning for 10x-20x video boost videos, then 20x video frames should outperform 20x photo mode photos.

Gsmarena, your reviews never examine the live photo video frame image quality. On a Pixel phone, this is the only way to take a burst photo while still getting a dng file, quite useful when you take a photo of a bird.
The 4:3 live photo video frame resolution has been decreased from 1.55 megapixel to 1.35 megapixel. It's even worse when you use live photos at 10x-30x because a 30x 4:3 live photo video frame of the 9 Pro XL only has an effective resolution of less than 0.3 megapixel due to analog pixel binning, whereas you get 1.2 effective megapixel on the 7 Pro at 30x in decent light conditions.

You can get S24 Ultra 512GB in Europe right now for around 1000-1100€ right now. And it's a better device in every single way (except if you don't like some double apps, but honestly it's not an issue nowadays with so much RAM and storage).

1000usd flagship with 7+g3 performance at best, and very disappointing battery life. fairly rough sell over any of the s24 bretheren, or any other actual flagship device (say mi 14). its interesting to strike a deal with samsung for cheaper silicon, but completely fail to capitalize in any aspect of that, especially considering google is designing it themselves. i guess 7 years of updates? but apple always did that and samsung does it now as well. who is this targeted for?

Does Pixel 9 series have official support for Google Android Desktop Mode? Something equivalent to Samsung Dex, including by using USB-C to HDMI cable.

And people who buy a pixel to use grapheneos do care about performance.

I have seen two YouTube videos where they claimed that the Pixel 9 Pro XL offered more detail at 30x (I'd rather compare them at 15x because 7 Pro/8 Pro have very strange algorithms at 30x, but ok). I watched the YouTube videos in 4k, zoomed into the video and took a screenshot of the comparison. It was the opposite. The 8 Pro occasionally delivered more detail than the 9 Pro XL because the 9 Pro XL always uses analog pixel binning at 10x-30x in the default 12 megapixel mode of the camera app. The image of the 9 Pro XL just had more contrast, more oversharpening and possibly more machine learning fake detail.

It's ridiculous that they have a cloud feature that is called super res video because as far as I know the Pixel 9 Pro XL only records videos with analog pixel binning turned on (that's why they don't support 8k video), which converts the 48 megapixel sensor into a 12 megapixel sensor. So, it's actually anti res video.
