GooglePixel 9 Pro XL - Unlocked Android Smartphone with Gemini, Triple Rear Camera System, 24-Hour Battery, and 6.8" Super Actua Display - Obsidian, 256GB

Dave H loves an iPhone!Oh, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL! What an absolute masterpiece of modern technology. If Leonardo da Vinci were alive today, I'm pretty sure he'd trade the Mona Lisa just to get his hands on this phone. First off, let's talk about the camera. I mean, who needs professional photographers anymore? The camera is so advanced, I swear it could capture the soul of a ghost at midnight. Forget about Instagram filters—this beauty makes everything look like it belongs in a National Geographic spread. I took a picture of my breakfast, and now it's in the Louvre.Now, let’s not forget the battery life. It's practically infinite. I charged it once when I got it, and I’m pretty sure it’s running on pure magic now. In fact, I think it’s generating electricity. I haven’t plugged it in for days, and my lights are brighter, my toaster works faster, and I’m pretty sure my house is now powered by Pixel.The Pixel 9 Pro XL is, without a doubt, the best Android phone ever created. The battery life alone should win a Nobel Prize. As for the camera, well, let's just say the world is going to run out of storage space from all the high-definition masterpieces people will be taking. But hey, at least you'll look fabulous while doing it.

Great phone, fast and easy to use. My last phone was a xiaomi and whilst it was brilliant for a budget phone it was often rage inducing. Not wanted to throw this at a wall once and the battery is brilliant!!! Shame the free pixel buds it was supposed to come with didn't happen as I was supposed to wait until today to claim them but now the options gone!!! Typical Amazon being thieving ba$tards....but the phones good.

The best phone I ever used, amazing features and high quality pictures and videos.

Upgraded from Redmi Note 10 Pro. Pixel is much faster, has more features, and I love the AI assistant. I like this phone a lot and got used to it very fast even though I've been only using it for 3 days.

Let's starter with what's good for this phone.Design - this is where some people don't like it, personally I love the design with the visor on the back. Google Pixel needs to be recognised as a brand, so this is how they do it. But the phone overall is of very good quality and feels very nice in your hands.The battery life on this Pixel FINALLY competes with the competition. Expect a full days battery and maybe 2 depending on your use case scenario. Previous models have been known for bad battery, but not this one!.The battery is better due to the better chipset they have in the phone and some more optimisation in the background, well done Google!Screen - Not too bad, not too great, I think it's kinda in the middle ground which is where most phones should be.Performance - Really good, though it might not reflect that in benchmarks, it will easily do anything you need it to do a part from intense gaming sessions, which is where it falls down a bit.A.I - The most complete phone for A.I on the market. I would say they've overdone the A.I on this phone, but that's because A.I isn't too important to me. With that said, if you're into A.I on phones then this is the benchmark for that!.Software - You can expect nothing short of amazing software experience from the maker of android. It get's plenty of updates in regards to the OS and security updates. In fact, you get 7 years worth of updates on this phone which means it's hit itself out of the ball park! ... NICE Google.My ONLY negative I can find is the silly business of not having a charger in the box and slow charging speeds when you compare it to other android phones. But these are minor issue's.Highly recommended.

This is the worst mobile I have ever owned..it's so complicated to set up, eg: to many settings. The dest top widgets can't be altered, they are round in shape and that is it. I've spent over a week trying to sought all the settings out and it's still not working properly. It has the weakest WiFi connection I've ever had on a mobile, the signal disappears at short distance from our router. Notifications work sometimes but isn't stable, it's just luck if they appear on the home screen. The next problem which isn't working on the mobile, is when someone calls me and the volume is to loud, I adjust the volume on the side of the mobile to turn the volume down and then the speaker goes dead... i have to tap the on screen speaker to hear the callers voice, it's annoying. For a £900 phone I expected better. The only good thing about the mobile is the battery life that's brilliant. I considered sending the mobile back but that would involve setting up another mobile..I don't fancy that. I hope updates will correct some of the software problems but for now I will just try my best to put the mobile right. Disappointed. Update.. I tried the Pixel 9 on wireless charging, the phone got so hot underneath I had to remove it from the charger. It might be a big job to configure another mobile but I'm considering sending this mobile back..1 month of owership update..Honest I've had enough of this mobile now, just full of misconfiged sofware. Don't believe all the hype you see on the Internet its nothing like it.. Expensive mistake I've ever made bying the pixel Pro.

Device arrived with only American English as an option. Also box was damaged.Phone seems to be OK. But maybe I'll return. I will see over the next 10 days.
