I've had the Pixel 9 Pro XL for a week, and after countless hours of testing, I am quite happy with my purchase. To be clear, I am a regular person (not a professional reviewer) and I paid for the phone with my own money. No handouts or compensation here. I would venture to say that the majority of complaints about this 9th gen Pixel are from people who don't have one (Verified Purchase?). This is a great phone. Everything just works, and works well. It is responsive and fast; while Samsung and Apple flagships may win benchmarks, in real world use, this phone is able to handle everything I've thrown at it. And real world use is where this phone shines. I come from Samsung and did not like their bloated UI and baked-in Samsung apps. This is the purest possible Android experience and it shows. Everything just works, intuitively, and works well. It's been a few years since I used an iPhone as my daily driver, but anyone who is stuck on iPhone as the "just works" phone, check this phone out. If you prefer the Google ecosystem (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, etc), the Pixel is the way to go. They are all deeply integrated without the bloat or workarounds on other phones. I've heard of problems attaining the fastest charging levels without buying the expensive Google charger, but I charge on a wireless charger at night while I sleep. Even using a third-party (and cheap) wireless charger, it charges decently. It seems this phone requires the charger to bump voltage to get the 37 watt charging, so if you care about squeezing in your charges at the fastest charging speeds, perhaps get the official Google wired charger or be very thorough in your charger research. But I dont think you'll need it. For me, charging speeds don't matter with this big battery. It has lasted me all day, every day, and I have intensely used it from sunup to sundown. Never once have I risked needing to charge it between 5am and 10pm. As long as the phone lasts all day and only needs to be charged at night, I don't think it matters if it takes 90 minutes to charge. But that's a personal decision for you to make for yourself. The camera is amazing. It takes some of the best photos I've seen come from a phone. And while there are plenty of choices out there for post-processing your photos, having features like Video Boost or Zoom Enhance baked right into the Photos app makes it a simple joy to take photos and edit them. I challenge anyone to find a simpler and easier workflow for taking the best possible photos. If you want to take amazing photos and be able to edit and enhance them in a few seconds without switching between an array of apps, this phone is for you. Of course third-party editing apps are a Play Store away, but you probably won't them them. I know Google hypes the AI, but generally that's not why I got the phone, so I'll leave the in-depth AI reviews to others. Some of it is fun -- Magic Editor is a fun toy and Zoom Enhance stretches the boundaries of what's possible on a phone camera, but things like Gemini Live feel a little half baked. Don't get me wrong; Gemini Live is a leap forward for Google, but the AI as a whole feels disjointed. Gemini Live doesn't communicate directly with regular Gemini, and while it's great for chatting, it can't do even basic tasks (which requires switching to the other Gemini). It's also quite perplexing that there are still basic Google Assistant functions that Gemini can't call up. It feels like it should be a basic ask to relay all Assistant functions, but it's not that simple. These are minor annoyances that will hopefully improve in the future, but (to Google) if you're going to hype the AI so much, please have it more integrated and seemless than this. It feels like a miss that the feature you're hyping the most is the one with the most blemishes. But AI is quickly evolving. Maybe my comments will be moot in a week. And like I said, since I didn't get the phone for the AI, this isn't a ding for me. I'll update if any issues arise, but so far I'm very satisfied with my purchase. This is my first Pixel, and I can see why there are Pixel fans. This phone might not be everything to everyone, but it's not supposed to be. If you want a premium phone that feels great, looks great, and does what it does very well, give this newest Pixel a shot. If you're using an iPhone but not yet too deeply invested in their closed box, or if you're a Samsung owner who's tired of the bloat, I recommend checking out the Pixel 9 Pro XL. It's great to have so much choice in the smartphone world, and I believe this is a choice worthy of your attention.

This phone has been a joy to use, and I've already gotten a ton of super nice photos with it, and I love the 5x optical zoom. The one negative about this phone (and almost all modern phones) is that you NEED a case for it, otherwise it's way too slippery to use, like I don't know who thinks making a phone as smooth as glass front, back, and sides is a good idea. But after getting a case for the phone so it isn't sliding out of my hands, it's great to use. Not too heavy either, and the screen is nice and bright but can get darker at night too. The AI features are nice, I've used it to search up what some things are and it is often helpful. Battery life seems good as well so far.

I have had this phone for a month. I had an android Motorola g 100 before this, which I liked for the almost pure android, SD card slot and headphone plug. My new Pixel 9 pro has pure Android but no SD card slot and no headphone jack (which I do miss). To make up for these missing items I got the new pixel with 512gb and a separate Bluetooth receiver for my old Klipsch X-10 headphones that are great. So far, I'm very happy with the tradeoffs. The Pixel 9 pro is a great phone. It takes time to set it up, which is important. This version of Android gives you a lot of control and if you take the time to set it up, you will benefit. As someone else said, initially, the battery runs down pretty quickly; however, the software learns how you work and over about 2 days the battery life lasts much longer. I also installed a toolbox app which seems to add even more. I have never run below 40% after my heaviest phone use days. I also like the size of the 9 pro. I do not play games on my phone so I can not comment on its game play use. The bottom line is that the Pixel 9 pro simply works flawlessly, is fast and is well made. It's expensive but it's a premium phone and worth it.

Overall a great phone and I'm happy with my purchase. Pros: - Unlocked. I was able to enable developer mode and oem unlocking with this phone. It is truly unlocked. - Very responsive and fast - Great batter life, charges quickly - Improved fingerprint sensor over the pixel 6 pro - I like the sound and speaker phone quality - Rear and selfie cameras are great - Can adjust display to full resolution at 120hz and Adaptive colors for a much better experience Cons: - Default colors are Natural. I've heard the arguments and don't care. Looks washed out and dull and just doesn't look good. However, you can change the defaults in the display settings as I've mentioned above and this will fix it.

I've had it for just over a month, and so far, so good. I tend to keep my phones for a long time. This is replacing a Pixel 4A 5G, which was a great phone, and I still use without a SIM around the house for work apps. This is an upgrade in pretty much every way - better cameras, more memory, somewhat faster, longer battery life and wireless charging, etc. (Although I had few complaints about the older phone.) Especially with the case I chose for this, it is chunkier in my pocket. The price is a bit hard to swallow, but if it lasts as long as my previous Pixel, the cost-per-year works out better than buying several cheaper phones that don't last or age as well, or drop out of vendor support and security updates.

La descripción indica 256 gb de almacenamiento interno, pero el equipo es de 128 gb. Ocultan los datos originales de la caja con etiquetas nuevas.
