S2... moreYeah, their rating is all over the place and i mentioned this on a lot of reviews. 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.

....it really scores under tensor 3 huh
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?

Google seem to be terrible at designing phones. The back camera island of this one is the worst I have ever seen. It looks beyond ugly.

BlahBlah, 20 Sep 2024Not a great chipset agree. But do i need more performance? ... moreSome people just need to whine. They want to prove superiority of their knowledge. I have a Pixel 8 and I myself agree that it's not the best. But I love it because it makes me feel unique and it's camera gives me a sense of confidence while clicking pictures.

And if that's all Google expects their customers to be able do, they should price their phone accordingly.

Why is marketing AI described as a positive feature? It is simply there to blind people and increase the price

I am talking about the photo of the clock, the exposure time is nearly identical. This proves that something is wrong here. Some 50 megapixel 10x, 30x sample images are just out of focus, but in other cases there seems to be an extreme amount of noise reduction (or maybe out of focus+ noise reduction).
I remember that when I tested the 9 Pro XL's 50 megapixel mode at 15x in a store, the level of detail could vary a lot from photo to photo, even when the exposure time was identical.

I am pretty sure that some ... moreBut apart from the out of focus sample images, it's still shocking that 10x, 15x now seem to look so bad when analog binning is disabled (50 megapixel mode) due to extremely aggressive noise reduction (though many sample images seem to be out of focus). 8 Pro, 7 Pro don't have this issue. Though, when I tested the 9 Pro XL in a store, the 10x-30x jpgs were often better than the 12 megapixel mode, when I used the 50 megapixel mode.
It's also extremely strange because 2x still behaves like on the 7 Pro, 8 Pro: There is no binning in good light conditions at 2x, when you don't use the 50 megapixel mode. But there is always binning at 10x-30x, when you don't use the 50 megapixel mode.
