Anonymous, 22 Sep 2024Still baffled that the colour "hazel" is greyYeah that confuses me too, is Google colourblind?

    Sony, Samsung, Apple - companies that can get hi res to the table. Great to see that sony is in.
    Not just any company can bring that kind of magic, not to mention in raw.
    About this much is enough to get what is my next phone for my camera replacement, tho I wish there would be some competition, some specs and features are just one of the kind.

      Picture samples are trash. Especially pictures number 38-40 (50MP 2X samples) are with defocus render. Focus is on the bushes. How can you post them..?

Since this phone throttles almost immediately after put on peak load, long 4K recording would be pretty limited. Peopls buy Pixels for the cameras, right?

If you noticed, they all also make have tendency to be pretty inconsistent with their conclusions. I've seen phones being critiqued really harshly for an issue then another phone from the same class has the same issue, but it gets brushed over quickly.

                Just look at that abysmal throttle issue, yet they make it look not so bad. If this was a Xiaomi with that severe throttle, it would be all over the review.

                  This phone got 4.4 stars...
                  Samsung Galaxy S24 got 4.4
                  S24+ got 4.3
                  S24 Ultra got 4.6

                  Let that sink in... people on GSM Arena have absolutely no idea what they are doing lol

                  Compare them side by side and even last years Samsungs will blow Pixel 9 out the water. And they are trying to tell us that this phone is almost as good as S24 Ultra and better than S24+ lol Come on man lol

                    Damn that cpu is slow. It's even behind the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3.

                          Google should stick to their search engine. Leave it to the big boys like Apple and Samsung. Their phones are expensive paperweights at best.

                            Oh man this is just not a 1000usd phone.
                            All of that lack of performance to still get flagship-like battery life.

                              I just love how in the brightness ranking list there is no mention of Samsung. Even though almost all those panels that Apple and Google are using comes from Samsung.
                              That's how much they value their user base by not giving them the best panels.
                              Shame on you Samsung

If the phone already struggling when new, can you imagine it running heavier Android versions and upcoming apps down the road?
