Google Pixel 9

“...lack of IR sensor so i can't do face unlock in the dark or with sunglasses on is suuuuper annoying...”

“...The face unlock is also very nice and snappy, but doesn't work well in the dark...”

“...Countless performance issues with multiple apps. ... The phone is constantly repeating the same notifications even after I've removed them from the notification pull down. Bluetooth has skipping issues on Spotify and cannot seamlessly transition between devices...”

“...The GPS is awful if you're in a big city with tall buildings...”

“...The Pixel 9 series is good, lots of positives, but the MSRP was laughable...”

“...Unlike the Pro models, the Pixel 9 does not have a vapor chamber, contributing to more noticeable heat during tasks like camera use or heavy multitasking...”

“...Yes, the phone heats up if you constantly take photos and videos because it is taxing...”

“...Phone is hot 24/7, even when idle in my pocket...”

“...it turns out it's not a bug, I've seen people on Reddit and other places complaining about the same and apparently is a software thing designed for the phone not to overheat...”

“...However it's worth noting the A17 Pro (iPhone 15 Pro CPU) has nearly twice the computational power of the Tensor G3 (Pixel 8 CPU)...”

“...I think the main caveat with Pixel is that google is asking flagship prices for mid-tier performance...”

“...Android's memory management is extremely aggressive. Sometimes it can't even hold 3-4 apps in memory, even on flagships devices and with all restrictions that apps are subject too...”

“...Pixel 9 is not ideal for hardcore gaming. Lacks high graphics settings and constant FPS performance seen in Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 devices...”

“...Phone is hot 24/7, even when idle in my pocket...”

“...isnt the pixel 9 front camera really poor, to me and my friend's skin colour it just dont show us the real colour of not only skin but generally every colour...”

“...On whole Pixel 9 lineup (as well as previous ones) the night videos are 100% pouring noise rain...”

“...My biggest issue is the gigantic black bar at the top 5:08—the notification bar area. All Pixel 9 models have this problem because the selfie camera is placed too low...”
