Update: Hey everyone error at 0:22, it looked fine in Final Cut but during the render I guess a plugin broke. I HATE when issues like this slip through the cracks but will leave the video up for now. Appreciate you all for watching! =)

I like the Pixel 9 design but will wait until at least Pixel 10 with a TSMC Tensor G5

Unless a phone is broken, there is no serious reason to upgrade any phone less than 4 years old. There will always be cool new features and improvements that would make an upgrade nice, but it doesn’t take away the value of the phones people already have.

If only Google partnered up with Qualcomm during the initial years of chip-making.😢

Let's be honest. The Google made chip won't be worth it until the Pixel 11. First is always a trial. I'll get the 10 tho 😆

I've had no Tensor related issues. The T4 will be just fine for my use (zero gaming). Can't wait for a normal sized phone with Pro camera plus best looking phone I've ever seen

I honestly have no problems with the tensor G3 its never seemed slow in my opinion. The only selling point for me with a TSMC chip would be improved battery life (which isnt an issue on my pixel 8 pro) and on device AI

I like my 8 pro! I'll probably wait for the 10.

I feel that pixels follow the same pattern as Windows - every second product is good (as they improve on their innovations). I had pixels starting from pixel 4. Pixel 4 was a flop Pixel 5 success Pixel 6 was a flop Pixel 7 success Pixel 8 - I skipped (not sure) Pixel 9 - hopefully a success (nice design, smaller size for a pro (finally), third improvement on the tensor chip) Definitely optimistic about 9pro. Can't wait to order it. Not planning on getting Pixel 10 - I don't like being a guinea pig and be testing their new processor for them.

My Pixel 6 has had zero performance issues for me. It does get hot at times and the battery life could be better. I want to replace it with a 9 Pro but am tempted to try to wait for the 10. Definitely undecided but will see what the preorder bonus looks like (Buds 2 Pro might be nice!) and maybe initial reviews amd decide.

Definitely waiting for the 10. My 8 pro is fantastic.

You should wait for the 10, and when that comes out, wait for the 11. Then when that comes out, wait for the 12. But the 13 will be so much better. Rinse and repeat.

im still so very happy with my pixel 8 pro ❤🎉 #teampixel #pixel9 #pixel8pro

So I currently have a 6a, a 7, and an 8 pro. Love the 8 pro. It works for me since I'm all in on Pixel. I'm definitely getting a pixel 9 pro. The design I've seen looks great. I'm also going to get the pixel 10 or pixel X or whatever they'll call it. I definitely want to experience what that tensor G5 will be like.

Why I want a future-proof phone? It’s because they offer us the consumers a 7-year promise, with a price tag on it.

I just want a smart phone that can actually maintain a reliable phone call... Seems to be a smoke dream at this point.

Google's tensor chips are a joke, as an owner of Pixel 6, 7 pro, and 8 pro.

I was going to wait for the Pixel 10 because of the shift to TSMC Tensor G5 but knowing Google it will have bugs. So I will wait for the Pixel 11 after getting the Pixel 9 in the next couple of months.

I am using a pixel 8 pro. It works super smooth on 98% of the time just like any other flagship phone. Yes it tends to overheat sometimes if we continiously shooting videos and photos for a long time. I think it is the same for apple and samsung flagships.

I love my Pixel6a. I have 0 reasons to upgrade at all, unless anything happens to my phone (that I baby). Overheating isn't an issue for me, the phone doesn't become inoperable. The camera is still fantastic and every program I've thrown at this thing doesn't lag, so why bother? I don't care much for the AI stuff. I did get the Gemini text support which is cool, but it's a gimmick at most to me. Not a requirement. Perhaps I will wait until the 10.

I really love my Pixel 8 Pro and I have had almost no issues with it. I can count on one hand easily over heating, it hasn't been a problem for me. Everything else has run fine and I feel it has gotten better over time. For me the chance of an ultrasonic finger print sensor and a smaller phone with top specs make me consider trading in my beautiful Google Pixel 8 Pro. I just don't know what to do yet.

As an owner of the standard Pixel 8 who is quite content-as an non-gamer & non-creator-I'm planning to wait for the [TSMC/G5] Pixel 10.

I'm not upgrading till the 10th pixel comes out. I love the pixel 6 and it gets what I need from it done

With my previous experience with Google Gen 1 hardware, I am getting a 9 and will wait until 11 to move to the TSMC version. LOL

my Pixel 7 just has poor display brightness even indoors and battery life is falling short too so I'm considering getting the Pixel 9

The Tensor G5 sounds like a first gen with a new manufacturer and new design. I think the Pixel 9 would be a safer bet for then upgrading to the Pixel 11/12 down the road.

I've got a pixel 6 and happy ish with it , i was going to get the 9 but i think I'll wait until the 10 comes out.

Hope you all enjoyed!! What are we thinking? Is it worth waiting for the Tensor G5 or moving forward with the G4?

I'll wait for now. I've been using Pixel 8 Pro since the start of sales, it's not bad, but it gets very hot and, as a result, has poor battery life. What do I expect in the new Pixel: 1) Good software without bugs and lags, as well as with all the declared functions immediately from the start of sales. 2) Of course, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner (already available in 9 Pixel). 3) Face ID is like Apple. 4) Processor made by TSMC, no heat and with good power and energy efficiency. 5) Normal communication module. 6) Size no more than 6.2 inches, ergonomics like Pixel 8. 7). More premium frame materials and high-quality assembly of the device. 8) One inch camera sensor

I got a Pixel 8 Pro currently but im in love with the Pixel 9 look so i will upgrade to a pixel 9 when its released regardless.

I've had the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 7 and still use the 8 Pro and 7a. I've had zero issues with the functionality of the Tensor chip, no operation or heating issues. So I assume that somehow Google built me (and me only) faultless phones. Sorry 9to5Goocle but I don't agree with anything that you have said. No one uses any chip/processor to it full potential. Everything that you know about the G4 and the so called G5 is via rumour control via various websites. Absolutely nothing wrong from a reliability pov with Tensors. Unless the phone under review has a Samsung or Apple logo too many reviewers are critical and biased.

Currently rocking a Huwai P30Pro. Not waiting another year for the 10, give me a 9XL. New chip first year, it's like buying the first car of a new model line right off the manufacturing floor. Let them work the bugs out of the chip and wait for the 11.

I'm thinking it's too early, but it's all good. We'll be looking forward to the G4 in the Pixel 9, If it's going to live up to expectations.

I currently have a PXL 3 and need to upgrade fairly soon. Average user. Streaming music and using it for work emails, social media, etc. Better to do it now with the P8 or wait for the P9?

Who cares? All these chips nowadays do everything and more you need to get done on your phone. The average consumer doesn't even use most of the power these chips have

I think the biggest factor will be the modem they use, g3 is bad at mobile data battery life compared to snapdragon phones. If google will go with an efficient modem on the g5, it will be worth the wait.

Had this question for so long. Planning to get the 9Pro to upgrade from my 4xl

So considering that Google will have 2 plus years to work on the G5 I'm hoping they will offer something that's really good. The g4 seems like an after thought since they weren't able to secure the chips for the Pixel 9 from tsmc. I have a 6 and it's starting to show it's a age. I was really hoping the 9 would have a 3nm chip. I might go back to Samsung for a couple of years and get the s25. I really wanted a foldable but I wanted a future proof chip and the g4 is not future proof.

Is G3 still plagued with the reception and heating issues as well? It is any better than P7 as i am still contemplating upgrade to P8 but not sure how much better it would be.

you rarely want the first build as you are basically a bug tester, wait for Googles second TSMC chip the G6 once they have ironed out the kinks. and since my 7a gets updates until at least May 2026 I should be fine waiting.

I just got a insurance replacement for my pixel 6. Before I broke my phone, I was ALL IN on the 9 but now I'm not sure. I WAS having problems with my battery life but now, all my problems are gone so I think I can wait. Im not sure what to do, should I wait for the 10, buy the fold 2 when it goes on sale next year, or just jump right in with a fold 2 or a 9 pro?

Been holding off for a folding phone, and I always liked the dimensions of the first Pixel Fold, but not the outdated chip. Do you think this year's will be worth getting?

I can't wait till pixel 10...its the time to upgrade from my Pixel 3...

While pixel does sell at a cheaper price that competitors, they still need to get a grip and lower the prices, their A series shouldnt start at 499... Bring back the 349 days...and slash the normal pixel and pro by 200$

I was happy with the 6 pro, went to a s23+ and switched back to the 6 pro for awhile. It started to show its issues with some latency and freezing and I've switched back to the s23+. I am getting the p9xl because I really enjoy the software experience a lot better than Samsung but am ready for the chip improvements from the G1 so it will be a beneficial upgrade for me.

I really want a well rounded package from Google but highly doubt it. In the past we have seen pixels plagued with issues in fp sensor, terrible overheating specially in India's heat and cellular issues. Tensor G5 has big promises but i will believe when i see it bcoz google hardware reputation is not that great....

Huge reason for thermal problems in current tensor cpus is lack of vapor chamber. While I'm waiting for the Pixel 10 (owning 8 pro) I hope they finally add it to the 9. Without it the G5 won't be such huge upgrade and will still have thermal issues.

With how we've known that Google was working toward a fully custom chip with tsmc for almost 2 years now, I think it's going to hit the scene similar to the m1. Not as powerful but ready for prime time.

Just wait for the 10, my Pixel 8 is already starting to stutter.

Ill be getting the pixel 9 only because my pixel 8 pro has modem connection issues 😢

Currently using 8 pro. I am 100% waiting for 10 pro!

I just recently got a Pixel 8 and am happy with it, probably gonna keep it until at least the Pixel 12.

Grabbing the 9 pro, first gen usually has defects (things to work out, ex. P6)

For me nothing wrong with the current Tensor chips what I would want more is to get rid of the temperature sensor & finally add lidar sensor great for productivity & pro users.

I have a Pixel 8 Pro that I like a lot. The only reason I'd have for upgrading to a Pixel 9 would be design. I don't believe performance will be drastically different from the 8 series. Though the processor may have some minor tweaks and efficiencies.

The issue isnt that tensor is slow. Its that its inefficient (which is a product of being weak), in addition charging as much as they do to give performance the iphone was giving 3 years ago is unforgivebale. They should be selling this sort of performance for $300-400 LESS than iphone prices.

I bought the pixel 7 and 8, and I have the 9 on order. If the 9 does me good, I'll pre-order the 10. I get a brand new phone every year for a few hundred bucks, and that's not including whatever extras they throw in.

missing clip at 0:22

Currently on the Pixel 6 Pro and it`s a tough choice. I will make the choice based on pre-order deal + trade in value for my current phone. If I get down to 600-700€ then I´ll probably upgrade and maybe trade in for the Pixel 10 next year if it´s really such a huge difference switching the manufacturing from Samsung to TSMC.

my question is, just because Google will custom manufacture the Tensor G5 from scratch, does that necessarily mean it'll be better than the G4? Samsung has been manufacturing chips for years now, and Google just tinkered the chips a little bit, but that doesn't necessarily mean they can completely design a new chip from scratch and for it to be great?

I am using the Pixel 6 Pro, my Display broke once. The repair shop didn't made the fingerprint sensor work again with the new screen. My Backcover broke and I repaired it by myself, but maybe I broke the NFC and Wireless charging while doing so. Also my Battery from the 6 Pro is down to around 85%. I wanted to wait for the 10, but I think I am going to grab the 9 Pro XL.

I love my Pixel 7. I think the OS updates expire right around the time the Pixel 10 comes out, so I'll be waiting for the 10 Pro.

was the 1st tensor equivalent to 8gen1 or weaker? i dont understand why they dont want to use SD chipset. i mean if they dont then shouldnt be overpricing pixel line.

Samsung...shit. wait for Pixel 10 is truly worthy.

Using the pixel 7 rn and I don't think I'll be upgrading it soon. And I really love my 7. So, I'm gonna wait for the 10.

I have a Pixel 7 Pro and will likely upgrade to the 9...not so much because of the chipset but because usually it financially makes more sense to upgrade every two years vs three years. You get more money from trade in or selling a two year old phone vs a three year old phone. My 7 Pro is still running fairly well and the battery still holds up but the depreciation does play a factor, unless I plan to keep the phone like five years which I've never owned a phone more than three years. Which is when I realized it makes more sense to trade in after two years.

Should I get the 9 pro XL or the fold. I’ll be making a change from iPhone. Really considering this

I have a 4xl for the unlimited google photos storage, but it’s only a backup phone i leave at home. Really interested in jumping in on the pixel 9,10, or 11

Tensor G is shit, just us snapdragon I don't care if it is going to be more expensive... even after 3 years they still shit q

Maybe my bar is too low. But I'm currently watching this on a pixel 6. I've never felt like my phone is slow or lacking power. Battery life is still pretty good. Not perfect but I don't find myself worried about my phone dying. My major complaint about this phone is the finger print sensor being slow and not working well with a screen protector. This phone has aged well for me. I have no desire to upgrade as of yet. Maybe in another few years.

The beauty of 7 years of updates is that you don't have to pick up a pixel on the day of release and you can buy the last year's phone cheaper. And we all know the Pixel 9 will be on sale.

The biggest undoing of Pixel phones is the battery life. It's lagging behind in comparison to the other flagships. Waiting to see battery life of P9P XL.

My mom have the exynos s24 I can say that its a improvement from the snapdragon 8 gen 1 in her previous s22 and the internet connection is getting stable. Its big improvement from my moms old s10e with exynos 9820.

Google always finds a way to ruin user experience, like the useless under screen finger print scanner

Also, if they're doubling down on TSMC chip, the Pixel 9 upgrade might not be worth it. So if you're looking for a phone right now, I'd think Pixel 8 is still a good choice.

Having an 8 and not being a person who needs to have the larest I'll wait a few months to see what the 10s looking like before deciding if its worth getting. Anyone looking at purchasing the 9 I wouldn't blame them. Best of luck whatever you decide.

Tensor needs more power and efficiency . The current minor improvements are not enough to keep up with rivals like Qualcomm snapdragon and Apple silicon.

There hasn't really been a good reason to wait a whole year for a next generation of technology since like 2018, probably earlier than that. Get a phone when you need it. That being said, as good as the move to TSMC is going to be, the 2nd generation on TSMC will probably be the one to wait for if you were going to wait for a better chip. Give them a year to learn Tensor and how to best manufacture it.

Of course I'd rather wait for the 10, but Google tends to forsake the previous generation as soon as they release a new one, only giving new software features to the new one. So that makes me consider the 9

Before playing the video: predictions- wait for the *G5 to come around, but if it’s been a while since you upgraded, the G4 will be great too.

My pixel 6 pro has been a good sidekick for me but I'm definitely feeling an upgrade for camera and battery life mainly...also screen brightness. I'm tired of barely being able to see my phone outside 😂

The design of the Pixel 9 series is wild !!!

This will sound sarcastic but I promise I'm being genuine. Anyway, I put a small desk fan next to me when I play COD Mobile on my Pixel 6 Pro if it starts to get a little hot. It performs quite well when I do that. It rarely struggles or lags for me to begin with, though 🤷🏽 I am planning on upgrading to the 9 Pro when it's released, though.

I'm a huge fan of the new hardware design choice they've chosen to go with this generation, especially the matte finish. The only thing I want is better battery life & better sounding speakers as I do watch a lot of KZfaq on my phone. Cellular connectivity could use some work as well. Other than that all good and will be upgrading 🙂🤗💯

Pixel 10: 8K video, 64MP camera, 5400mah battery

I have been using tensor chef from pixel 6 pro to pixel 7 pro. And i have no issues at all. Im running beta version always. Well done google. 🇳🇬

😂 You buy the pixel 9 so I don't have too!

Wait. The new processors in the 10 lineup will be made by tmsc, the same company that makes processors for IPHONES. Would you rather have this processor or the Tensor G4 which is made by Samsung? It isn’t really that hard to figure out, is it?😊

i'm pretty sure samsung's chips are not gonna improve enough to be nearly as efficient, but i really hope they do, because right now it's a tsmc monopoly

I have a Pixel 6 and my phone is almost dying, I absolutely gonna buy the Pixel 9 and keep it again for 3 years and see how google handles their first steps of own soc.

It's not option for me anymore to wait. Gotta replace my 4 years old Pixel 3a since the battery unable to hold the power like it used to be. Might wait for Pixel 9 launch, it's either Pixel 9 or Pixel 8.

I'll be upgrading to the pixel 9 but no way am i paying full price. I'll wait until they have $200 discount or something. That being said, I haven't had any issues with the tensor chip. The only thing i hate is the finger print scanner and they should be fixing it on this one.

95% of all smartphone users shouldn’t even be bothered by those numbers. The G4 will perform incredibly well, just like the g3. As long as your not one of those hardcore phone gamers, you will never ever feel the, at least on paper, worse performance. Also, it will be more efficient than the G3. The pixel 8 pro could easily get one day of battery life, so the pixel 9 pro will be at least on par or better than this. So no reason to be worried. If you like the design and the software, just get it.

When 9 to 5 Google edits using Final Cut(it’s only available on a Mac)

Imagine we get Pixel 9 and 10 like apple released iPhone 8 and 10. Not very likely but that would be surprising for sure.

I had a Pixel 6a with the G1? anyway, it was fine no real issues except standby time wasn't great, but not terrible either. Now I'm spoiled with a one Plus 12R which has amazing battery life and fast charging. Pixel will always have the best camera imo, but others are getting very close.

I will be upgrading from my Pixel 2 to the Pixel 9.

Never ends... Should I wait for pixel 11 or should I wait for pixel12 ,13,14......

May finally upgrade my home rotary phone for the 9

So I have a theory on this TSMC chip. From what I read they're responsible for mostly apple chips, and that's supposed to be a big great thing because apple has powerful chips. But I make the argument that those chips really aren't that powerful and IOS is just (as always) incredibly optimized. From my understanding people are complaining about lackluster gaming performance for the new AAA ports to the app store. Meanwhile Samsung phones are running Window 10 emulators and downloading PC games that are running incredibly well especially considering the lack of optimization and the strain of running it through an emulator. Samsung chips know android which is by nature an unoptimized experience due to it being open source. I have a feeling these TSMC chips are not going to do well for quite some time which is why I think I'll upgrade to the Pixel 9.
