The phone is beautiful and works wonderfully

Posted by: natorea_902366
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The performance of this phone is great, and the power up is fast and easy. The phone moves very fast, and the battery lasts for about 9 hours before I put it on the charger. It easily connects to Bluetooth, etc, as well. The pictures are crisp. I haven't even fully explored the phone, but I am excited to.

Best google phone
on December 11, 2024
Posted by: daisyc56_2993
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Google Pixel 9 Pro phone. It looks absolutely gorgeous. It has so many great features. It’s long lasting battery lasting me for almost the whole day while using the battery saver . I don’t need to charge it often which is great. It also has a very bright clear display that can be easily adjusted to your liking. The display looks very nice even when the sun shines. I like that it has a triple camera which contains a lot of features like the megapixel 50 which takes the clearest images and sharpest pictures. It also has picture and video editing with just a couple of clicks and you can capture your your best moments. I like using the magic editor to create great photos which I can add or move images and change backgrounds to my images . I also like that you can zoom up to 30x which you can really capture good close up shots and they come out really clear and sharp. What I like the most of this phone is that It really takes some really good pictures. It contains an AI assistant that helps you organize any event or planning or event which is so easy and convenient which I have been using and it’s been very helpful to plan my daughter’s birthday. It has many apps to add to your phone and many that it already contains that you don’t need to download which is great. If you have a google account it connects right away and it downloads all your pictures ,photos and your contacts also which is really nice .

Very well designed phone, I love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free for my honest review. The first thing I noticed was that the weight of the phone was evenly distributed in my hand. The cameras do stick out, but they don't affect the hold. The connection and set up was a breeze and also came with a key to place your Sims. There are a few pretty nifty apps, even one that can read temperature from a sensor by the cameras. The battery life holds up extremely great and lasts all day with no problem, also has fast charging as well the glass on the screen is flat and not rounded. The back of the phone is white. The calls are very clear, and the speaker is just as clear and loud. I consider this to be a very reasonable price for this phone. I actively enjoy it very much.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This latest technology is stunning, sleek and modern! I’m loving the look, the feel and most of all the quick response it has! I haven’t dug deep into this as much as intended! The next few weeks I want to find its full on potential and come back to edit this review!

Overall solid phone
on December 28, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up the Google Pixel 9 XL Pro was a breeze! Transferring my SIM card wirelessly was seamless, and it even brought over all my contacts and Wi-Fi settings automatically, which saved me a lot of time and stress of setting up a new phone. I've never had such an easy phone set up in my life
For me, the camera is a standout feature, producing stunningly clear and crisp photos. The built-in editing tools are impressive, offering a wide range of filters and an "add me" feature that's perfect for selfies. However, the zoom capability falls short compared to my older Samsung model, which I miss for capturing distant shots. The "zoom enhance" feature is helpful in the absence of this feature, but it isn't necessarily the same of being able to zoom in on the moon or other subjects.

Functionality-wise, the Pixel 9 XL Pro is comparable to the Samsung Galaxy I switched from, though there are a few small inconveniences. For instance, having to press "enter" after typing my passcode feels like an unnecessary extra step, as other devices unlock automatically after entering the last digit. After years of not having to hit enter, this is annoying.
Navigating the phone took some getting used to. I initially struggled to access my apps and still have trouble swiping up correctly from time to time. Closing active apps was another challenge at first as well, and I still get challenged by this sometimes as well. Additionally, I miss Samsung's "edge" feature, which allowed me to swipe left for quick access to frequent contacts—something I found incredibly convenient and miss. These minor inconveniences add a few seconds of additional steps, which adds up over the day. I'm slowly growing accustomed to the extra steps, though.
Overall, the Pixel 9 XL Pro is a great phone despite its few quirks. While it excels in camera quality and ease of setup, it may take some adjustment for users transitioning from other brands like Samsung.

Overall a great phone! You can’t go wrong!
on December 28, 2024
Posted by: cambriek1_7734
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this phone has been great! I got this phone for my mom who just upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S20.
The setup from Samsung to Pixel was extremely simple. Since it’s the same operating system, it sets it up with the exact same display. The most difficult transition was with the screenshots having its own app. It was difficult to figure out how to get screenshots to backup to Google photos like before. She prefers to have all photos in one place.
She really enjoys the Gemini AI. Being able to circle things on your screen to quickly access google lens is a game changer. The language translation is also a great tool. It works very quickly and is an impressive feature.
The camera is great quality. My only complaint is that you can’t permanently change the camera shutter speed (that I can find). It is too slow and makes taking pictures not as good of an experience.
The battery life has been amazing. She ends the day with around a 50% battery everyday compared to around 15% with the Galaxy. Another major standout detail… there are endless ringtones to choose from!
The phone is very quick and the settings seem to be simplified compared to the Galaxy. The facial recognition is a huge step up. It’s quick and seamless. I like the shape of the phone and it seems very durable. I would think this phone would also be the best option for an iPhone user looking to switch to android without ever using one previously.

Premium looks and functions at a reasonable price
on December 30, 2024
Posted by: xn1_1064
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This latest entry in the Pixel lineup by Google is a huge upgrade from where they started. The phone feels and looks premium with the best nods towards iPhone and Samsung - it combines the best of competitor designs. There's an impressive battery life. I've left this thing unplugged and unused for 3 days straight. The price point of this model is modest when compared to its specs. If you like crisp photography, AI features, a great battery life, and a sleek design, this model is worth considering. I don't love the Google OS, and I find the closing of apps clunky and confusing coming from a Samsung, but that's my only real criticism. I'd be interested in seeing how this holds up in a year or two.
