The Mobile Phone Thread
Bought the Pixel 9 Pro last week (Sunday, November 17th, to be precise). Got the Hazel colour (coz the local Croma didn't have Obsidian ). Solid experience so far. Superb phone! The in-hand feel is very, very good. I also got a couple of first-party cases (Hazel and Black) and they're just too good. I don't usually like using cases/screen protectors on my phone, so not sure how long I'll be using the cases. Let's see... Also, got the official 45W charger. That's shaped like a larger version of the Pixel Buds Pro case (lol), so it doesn't feel like a wall adapter in a traditional sense. Does the job of fast-charging the phone very well. I was on a Pixel 6 before this and the overall jump in quality - in terms of the hardware (build quality, cameras, more RAM, etc.) feels like a generational leap. And no, I don't play mobile games at all (except Pokémon TCGP), so the benchmark scores don't mean anything to me. Speaking of cameras, photos are ace, as usual. But a special mention for the extra telephoto lens, FTW! It's one of those things that you don't know that you're missing out on, until you use it. The uniformity across lenses in terms of the colour science (especially from the viewfinder) and overall look and feel is insane. The jump in video quality from 3 years ago feels significant, too. Obviously, not iPhone-levels, but it's getting pretty close, IMO. The heating issues, compared to the Pixel 6, is negligible. Only experienced it once, only slightly heating up (nothing unbearable, just higher than usual) during an extended session of taking photos and videos. No issues with radio signals (Wi-Fi/4G - silly Vodafone doesn't support 5G yet, so cannot test that) at all. No issues with the fingerprint scanner at all, either. Super fast and snappy. I've set-up face unlock anyway, which goes straight to the home screen from the lockscreen. Just like the iPhone. Battery life has never been an issue for me with a Pixel (had the Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 6, Pixel 8 - the missus uses this currently), and this phone is no different. It literally learns how you use the phone and your charging habits and lasts accordingly. On a new phone, you can easily see the difference in battery life if you compare Day 1 vs Day 3 onwards. Overall, super satisfied with the phone, and planning to rock it for at least 3 years or so.- Smartphones
